I think it might just be that his whole way of thinking (or more like over-thinking things) irritates me. The geisha thing is a good example of that too, heh. Otherwise there are some really beautiful passages and interesting thoughts in the novel so far, but maybe it's just not my pace. I don't think I'll ever read the rest of the tetralogy, unless I somehow get to like the book more by the end... we'll see.  

In that case, this is the only other option I can suggest. Otherwise, you're stuck with the massive Hadith collection which is over 20 books. Good luck.

Didn't realise there was a thread like this here.
 
Lately I've read Decameron, the Prose Edda, Presocratic philosophy, a Yeats biography, some criticism from Baudelaire, parts of Ulysses and parts of the bible.
 
I am currently reading Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis, who wrote Narnia. It is an introduction to Christianity which was adapted from some radio talks he made during WWII. I thought it would just be for Anglicans, but he states it is for all Christians.
 
After that I plan on reading The Outline of Sanity by Chesterton, which outlines the political philosophy known as Distributism. Other vague interests include the Mahabharata and a book on the influences of Greek culture on Wagner which I have ordered and should come in January. I should probably return to Homer, Virgil and Ovid. My initial plan was to develop an understanding of classical philosophy, which would lead to an understanding of Christian philosophy and ultimately later philosophers as well, but I might just stick with Plato, Aristotle, Augustine and Aquinas and start attending church, together with my reading of the bible and Lewis/Chesterton. My understanding of political philosophy could rest on Distributism. I see no need to concern myself with Marx or Burke. And last but not least I would like to read Tacitus and maybe some Irish history.

GLAY did a cover of U2's "With or Without You". I think it turned out pretty good overall - you can tell that Teru is really into it - but I'll admit that the "with or without chuuuuuu" kind of kills it.

session band "アリスシンドローム (Alice Syndrome)" will change to new band "バク。(Baku)" at their live at Ikebukuro BLACK HOLE at 2017/3/27.

oh yea.... and boku no pico as well - adult af

I couldn't find a better title for this thread, but I would like to have an own thread for anime that are suited for adults, rather than kids/teens. Because whenever I've started talking about this in the anime thread it's kinda dwoned in the talk of everything else which is probably more popular. And with "adult" I am basically thinking about anime that is much darker and psychological, more violent and gory, features erotica, or deals with themes that'll go way above the head of most teens. It's a bit vague I guess, but I think you'll get what I mean when you see the lists of examples.
 
Series:
Cowboy Bebop*
Ergo Proxy
Serial Experiments Lain
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Elfen Lied
Hellsing
Gungrave
Cyber City Oedo 808
Berserk

Perfect Blue
Akira
Ninja Scroll
Ghost in the Shell
Angel's Egg

Vampire Hunter D
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
 
*I understand that Cowboy Bebop might seem a bit out of place to some here, but its touches of neo-noir, sophistication, philosophical concepts of boredom and loneliness and more adult themes such as drugs and homosexuality makes it a very adult series.
 
 
Anyone ever see anime that's either Lovecraftian or very cosmic horror-inspired? Would be real cool!
