> An interviewer once said to Faulkner, "Some people say they can't understand your writing, even after they've read it two or three times. What approach would you suggest for them?" Faulkner replied, "Read it four times." He was not altogether joking.

We all agree he was just being pretencious right?

Some good books about it? I'm not even a rookie in chinese religion. So a good start up in between other books that are well translated into english will suffice.

My mother is catholic, my grandfather, my grandmother and so on are. But i've been seeing a lot of chinese religions and since i was a child i connected to Buddhism. Now i've heard about Taoism and a little to what it represents and i like and feel more connected towards that part. I only know a little about it. To be honest almost nothing but the general of it.

The barrier you hit early is that the Han Chinese are very fond of painting their cultural/ religious practices as daoist.

This isn't about purism, I'm talking issues relating to the same words being used by different groups.
Quickly it becomes hard to distinguish daoist tradition from Han Chinese folklore and particularly fortune telling.

Would any of you happen to know of good websites that would help a relatively poor college student who would rather get pdfs of books than pay the bullshit fees for them? I've found a few websites, but most don't really seem to have anything substantial on them.

Hello.

I need my fix of good literature because only recently have I stopped flooding my head with that fraud that is called philosopy.

Since I'm spanish and I'm counting with the fact that many of you are not pretty much anny suggestion might serve.

I'm looking for a good lighthearted adventure like Stevenson's or a raw, crude, careless one (should I say "morals free) like Blood Meridian or other Mcharthy novels.

I do not have a problem at all with touching any subject.

Inmersive novels are very welcome too, since I'm also leaving my videogame and procrastination life and thus i need good material to start exercising my imagination.

I trust you good taste!

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.
He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."
He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

I don't do well with my essays. I know how hard it may be. My friends always helping me with my essays. But now I've decided to start working with the essay company https://www.wiseessays.com/buy-an-essay and buy an essay. Reviews about the company are very good and the price is normal. If someone's been working with these guys, give a review. I would appreciate it very much

No. I did enjoy Kurt Cobain's journals but that was actually written over the course of time, not just some garbage pumped out to make a buck

Thanks to the uniqueness of the written texts I ordered from https://www.australianwritings.com/ , I get excellent grades at the university every time. Why don't I write myself, but order here? for different reasons. Due to a banal lack of time or due to lack of preparation. This is a unique service, all the authors are local, they graduated from the same universities and know the material perfectly well. Thanks to them, I get to know the material better.

first before I say this, I'd like to know if people here, have read this book themselves and what they thought of it and what their favourite parts were, I'd to ask and know if anyone knows where I can find a good place like a torrent site, but doesn't necessarily have to be a torrent site to download this book.

thanks
