do you choose the books you read based on author physiognomy and experiences of his personal life?

>> No.15400080

>>15400037
Yes, but more by skin color and gender than by looks

>> No.15400278

Sartre had a damn interesting personal life

Not usually. Normally what's worth reading endures beyond the life of the author and what they were like. Heidegger for example.

Kind of fucked up to judge someone for an eye condition that got worse as he grew older. He didn't even look that bad when he was young.

Are you going to hold Junger to the same standard and post him as an old man and say "hurdur muh physiognomy!"

Cont. obviously Sartre wasn't super good-looking even young, but his ugliness is mostly exaggerated by his eye condition. I kind of feel bad for him for it, not really something you can control.

You can do therapy, and there are some fairly new surgical procedures now, but once my brain starts ignoring my bad eye completely then it's pretty much game over. I might just wear an eyepatch like Joyce

Worst part is that if my optometrist diagnosed the condition as a kid, then most of the effects could've been reversed. But he was an incompetent retard

Hey, your optometrist is not at fault for your bad genetics. Blaming others for your own shortcomings will lead to long lasting unhappiness. Grow up, tripfag.

yes. very much so.

Nausea is a book about ugliness and neurosis. And Sartre was also a sewer-rat commie.

Junger saw beauty even in war, in the trenches, in the tragic nature of life. He was brave and based.
