> Description book The Recognitions by William Gaddis**:

> Wyatt Gwyon's desire to forge is not driven by larceny but from love. Exactingly faithful to the spirit and letter fo the Flemish masters, he produces uncannily accurate "originals"--pictures the painters themeselves might have envied. In an age of counterfeit emotion and taste, the real and fake have become indestinguishable; yet Gwyon's forgeries reflect a truth that others cannot touch--cannot e...

Michel Houellebecq wrote a pretty funny novel called Submission about how France becomes a Muslim controlled country in 2022. Parts of it seem incredibly likely, such as the Islamic party partnering with the Socialist to seize political power.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submission_(novel)

>Ben-Abbes wins the election, and becomes President of France. He pacifies the country and enacts sweeping changes to French laws, privatizing the Sorbonne, thereby making François redundant with full pension as only Muslims are now allowed to teach there. He also ends gender equality, allowing polygamy. Several of François' intellectually-inferior colleagues, having converted to Islam, get good jobs and make arranged marriages with attractive young wives. The new president campaigns to enlarge the European Union to include North Africa, with the aim of making it a new Roman Empire, with France at its lead.

https://www.amazon.com/Submission-Novel-Michel-Houellebecq/dp/0374271577

A controversial, intelligent, and mordantly funny new novel from France's most famous living literary figure

It's 2022. François is bored. He's a middle-aged lecturer at the New Sorbonne University and an expert on J. K. Huysmans, the famous nineteenth-century Decadent author. But François's own decadence is considerably smaller in scale. He sleeps with his students, eats microwave dinners, rereads Huysmans, queues up YouPorn.

Meanwhile, it's election season. And although Francois feels "about as political as a bath towel," things are getting pretty interesting. In an alliance with the Socialists, France's new Islamic party sweeps to power. Islamic law comes into force. Women are veiled, polygamy is encouraged, and François is offered an irresistible academic advancement--on the condition that he convert to Islam.

Adam Gopnik in The New Yorker has said of Submission that "Houellebecq is not merely a satirist but--more unusually--a sincere satirist, genuinely saddened by the absurdities of history and the madnesses of mankind." Michel Houellebecq's new book may be satirical and melancholic, but it is also hilarious, a comic masterpiece by one of France's great novelists.

Ah yeah. I would continue research the neuroscience stuff for the layperson. Really fascinating stuff that can be of great help. Especially the stuff relating to stroke victims and their before/afters. Really helps to put the brain into perspective.

And the existential/nihilistic stuff... It seems that there are two separate mindsets when it comes to being an existentialist, and they are almost polar opposites in their effect upon the individual. I think the difference stems from a misinterpretation of existentialism's heavily nuanced response to the root question of all philosophy: "What is the point?"/"What does it all mean?".

Existentialism is not, in practice at least, nihilistic. When asked, what is the point, an existentialist will respond in this manner, "The point is what you decide it to be. Meaning is derived from what you decide to find meaning in." The nihilism comes from the notion that, yes, an existentialist does not believe there is any intrinsic or knowable 'meaning' within the workings of the universe, or even a man's place within it. BUT, the fact that you exist, coupled with the ability to make conscious decisions, means that you can insert meaning into a void that previously had none. Once this is understood, this is an extremely empowering notion. So in this sense, there is intrinsic meaning within the universe, as man is indeed an intrinsic part of the universe, and it is the individual that creates meaning. Outside of man, yes, nihilistic tendencies should reign supreme. But there is no outside of man, for you, me, or anyone else for that matter.

Sartre for example, thought of Che Guevera as the epitome of mankind. Here was a man who was leading a revolution, not because he was forced to, and not because he was brought up to do so. He made the conscious and willing decision to take responsibility for something which he did not need to. He inserted his own meaning into the void - through his actions he stated clearly his existence and intention to carry it out to its greatest extent. Needlessly to say, suicide was the furthest thing from his mind. *Just a note here - whether or not you agree with Guevera's actions is irrelevant. The point here is that he did act, and the he lived for the causes of his own choosing, and affected his environment in a large way.

You should read Sartre's Existentialism and Human Emotions: http://www.amazon.com/Existentialism-Human-Emotions-Philosophical-Library/dp/0806509023

It is not a difficult book to read, and I think it would be well worth it.

All this being said, I don't necessarily consider myself an existentialist. I'm still working on it, give me a few more hours to let it settle, haha. Hopefully this might give you something to chew on in the meantime though.

And btw, your 'friends' sound like assholes based your account. Not everyone is like that.


edit: I realize you are probably aware of most of this... I am just making sure...Would love to hear your perspective on it regardless.

We had a group class about Scrivener and I didn't go. Sometimes social anxiety really gets in the way. Is it easy to learn on one's own?

For Nothomb, try these to start: Sulphuric Acid and Hygiene and the Assassin for her fiction side and the wonderful-but-still-fucked-up The life of hunger for her autobiographical/autofiction side (fuck I love her)

And I recently made specific category-oriented wishlists and I love it! I love the look of it (or my OCD does) and it much easier to keep tabs and much more fun to browse from a gift-giver's perspective! You should do it!

I also agree about paper books. I have a kobo (like a kindle) and I opened it once. Seriously. ONCE. I just can't get into it! I need my paper books!

I'm also obsessed with obsessions! mmmm obsessionssssss..... I have a feeling we'll get along great.

Hey, don't forget that free action still requires justification. Actually, your freedom comes with immense responsibility. I know tons of people have commented already, but I'm taking a semester of existentialism right now and you're channeling Sartre and de Beauvoir - at least these two books of theirs which I read over the weekend. I'd recommend de Beauvoir's more, but Sartre's is very clear and concise.


By the way, in my opinion, this is something which all people need to realize, so big kudos to you my friend. Now, go out in the worlds and do something positive with it! Teach someone else about their freedom!

Submission: A Novel Hardcover – October 20, 2015 by Michel Houellebecq (Author), Lorin Stein (Translator)

This isn't anime, but I thought I'd suggest it anyway since this theme is so specific. If you like the idea of an immortal MC, you should check out the novel "All Men Are Mortal" by Simone De Beauvoir. It's about a man who is cursed to live forever and an actress who becomes obsessed with him for a variety of reasons.

A good deal of the book explains his history (he's been around since the late 13th century), but the first 70 pages or so, where you meet this guy, and you see how he handles eternity and how this actress reacts to him, I can't explain why but there's just something magical about it. I wish I could read it for the first time again.

You can read some snippets of the first part of the book in the link, and if you're interested in reading the whole thing you can pick up a used copy on amazon for dirt cheap. Also your local library will probably have a copy.

Hey man, sorry for not getting back to you yesterday. Here are some recommendations.

​

the first two are not surrealism in the sense of the authors being part of the actual movement but they were precursors for it as well as being hugely influential to all who took part within the movement; the first one specifically, was said to be, by the surrealists themselves, their bible and holy grail. Surrealism can be quite difficult to read and hard to understand if one is not acquainted with the time period and the history of their epoch but if you stick with it it will pay off in time. You may have to do a little research into the back-stories of each author but this will only benefit you in the end: the last two will be much simpler to read on their own as they are more or less, linear straight-forward fictions. Good Luck!

I know you said choose two, but I'm gonna go ahead and do three ;)

1 - It's a children's book but my favorite book ever is Mandy by Julie Andrews. It's about a little girl who finds a cottage in a field behind the orphanage where she lives and makes it her own. When I was little I read that book over and over wishing I could find an abandoned cottage somewhere near my house.
2 - Least favorite is hands down, Bleak House, by Charles Dickens. I had to read it my first year of college and while the other books we read were great, that one was just painful to get through. I didn't even get close to finishing it.
3 - Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist was my favorite book to movie just because the book was so bad but the movie was excellent.

Perhaps it's not a very bluntly atheistic text, but Existentialism and Human Emotions by Jean-Paul Sartre is one that I thoroughly enjoyed and found to be a good stepping stone in terms of agreeableness.

Key words are "english french edition" or "french bilingual" or "french parallel text" you get the idea.

People should read this book, by a French author. I can actually see this story line playing out now.

It's a novel about the total Islamic takeover of France. Pretty good book, in a sad, sardonic kind of way.

https://www.amazon.com/Submission-Novel-Michel-Houellebecq/dp/0374271577

Saint-Simon wrote in a book saying elephant remains where found on the Little St. Bernanrd 1770, although Romans used elephants as well, and it was even document that Nero's great-great-great Grandfather rode an elephant in that area.

You can even read it in copies of his book, Saint Simon took place in a campaign over the area, which is when he claimed the elephant remains where found.

This is the only evidence I can even find supporting claims elephants remains from the Roman time period where found in the area.

> What Europeans dont realize yet is that this is dangerous because with democratic institutions demographics matter a lot. Different religious and ethnic groups do have different values to some degree and I think a lot of Europeans don't recognize that. Most know that if you imported 500k rural Poles to your city they'll start to vote for banning abortion, but for some reason people are afraid to extrapolate that to other groups such as say North Africans. They prefer to live a fantasy where you will 'enlighten' these groups to give up previous in-group values en masse and integrate but if their demographics don't pressure it because they are a plurality or even a majority they will have more in-group pressure to retain than out-group pressure to change.

We don't realise it because we never really experienced true multiculturalism before, and many are still in denial about its effect. Now that demographics are rapidly changing, my point of view is Europe is going to start experiencing something similar to the 60s-70s in USA where there were massive civil rights protest movements. Tough with major differences due to the ethnic populations being different than what the US experienced (no hispanics, mostly Arabs/Muslims in France for instance).

USA being pretty much the blueprint for a nation becoming multicultural. We will see this play out in Europe over the next decades. Here is an interesting bestseller fiction book for what might happen to France over the next years: https://www.amazon.com/Submission-Novel-Michel-Houellebecq/dp/0374271577

There is one that I've preordered on Amazon and that is due to appear on the 19th january next year.

Inspired by the book there is a short animated movie on youtube: Le syndrome du scaphandrier

Bonjour Tristesse (translates to Hello Sadness) by Francoise Sagan is quite an enjoyable read and was written in French. It's not too long either (a little more than 48,000 words).

Existentialism and Human Emotions, by Sartre, is only 96 pages and quite an easy read. {ISBN-13: 978-0806509020} Existentialism and the Philosophical Tradition, [Raymond], gives a broad selection of thinkers throughout history, but it is pricey. {ISBN-13: 978-0132957755} Another approach would be texts that are not strictly philosophical yet present some existential points such as: The Plague, The Stranger, and The Rebel, all by Camus, Nausea by Sartre, Notes From Underground, by Dostoevsky, or Waiting For Godot by Beckett

Also, this might be helpful: http://www.amazon.com/Voyage-France-Beginners-Edition-ebook/dp/B00DNWZEC6/ref=pd_typ_k_sp_1_4_p?ie=UTF8&refRID=1RDETWBY5D3JQ7PDA2X3

For anyone interested this is the book he is reffering to.

It's not strictly what you're talking about, but The Other Side of the Mountain is a story of a boy and an old man washing up on a strange island. It has some Lost vibes. It doesn't really focus on the survival aspect to a great extent though.

Get a bilingual book maybe? Like Alice in Wonderland or something.

So these books go into letters and documents that have just surfaced that illustrate the communications between Le Corbusier, Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini.

Book 1 - Le Corbusier, un fascisme français

Book 2 - Un Corbusier

Corb's decades long involvement with fascist ideology deeply affected his urban and architectural tendencies. His ideas of the Spirit of a New Age involved, in his words, "the human animal is like the bee, a builder of geometric cells."

In a letter to his mother he supports the ideas of "cleansing" the population and that "Money, Jews (partly responsible), Freemasonry, all suffer the righteous law. These shameful fortresses will be dismantled. They dominated everything."

He continues, "We are in the hands of a winner and his attitude could be overwhelming. If the market is sincere, Hitler can crown his life with a great work: the development of Europe. "

I can't wait to get my hands on these books at it really underscores his inhuman architecture. His totalitarian urban ideals have been seen as such (by most), but this is just further demonstrates this point.

Here's a worthwhile read: https://www.amazon.com/Submission-Novel-Michel-Houellebecq/dp/0374271577

It's about a French literature professor as he confronts a rapidly Islamifying France. The main character, Francois, drinks heavily, sleeps with his students and focuses on the writing of the now obscure French writer, J.K. Huysmans. Detached from politics, he watches as his native country divides between Muslims and the traditional French right led by the National Front’s Marine Le Pen.
