Mythology E.H./The Banality of Evil
I'm doing fine during this lock down, everything outside being calm is nice plus the excuse to waste time without being criticised. Can't say the same for the rest of the family though.

Season of Migration to the North by Tayeb Salih
What part have you gotten to? What's your favourite myth?
I liked the part about the Anead. It's a short summary but it makes me want to read more. What's so great is that you know what you like after reading this book.
Tell us about it.
The novel follows an adolescent runaway from Tennessee with a predilection for violence, known only as "the kid", who is introduced as being born during the famous Leonids meteor shower of 1833. In the late 1840s, he first encounters an enormous and completely hairless character named Judge Holden at a religious revival in Nacogdoches, Texas. There, Holden shows his dark nature by falsely accusing a preacher of raping both a young girl and a goat, inciting those attending the revival to physically attack the preacher.

Just started Dead Souls yesterday so I don't have much of an opinion on it yet.
just finished a confederacy of dunces, good book
not sure what I'll read next, was thinking of war and peace
I'm not doing any better or worse, I suppose
I've been reading El amor en los tiempos del cólera. I wanted something to read in Spanish, and I figured a lot of people would be reading it right now, so I'll have something to discuss with them when lockdown ends.
Sounds interesting. Any larger themes at play, you think?

La vie mode d'emploi
Not very well. My circadian cycle is like 6 hours delayed, I eat extra carbs out of anxiety and I haven't been able to read the book I just mentioned since this shit started

reading pic related.
Neet life *is* social distancing, all the time. I'm as well/bad as always.
I could but decided not to go jogging since early march and I miss it a little. Otherwise, no change in my life.
I've not the attention span to read anymore. I've all the time in the world, but spend it zoned out, or daydreaming while I lay in bed if I'm not sleeping. Guess I'm doing okay though for the most part.
How long have you been a NEET for?
Hope you feel better soon! My circadian cycle has always been very delayed, which I presume is from lack of using energy. My schedule is always shifting day by day. Has your circadian cycle always been like that?
Imagine reading FICTION above the age of 15
>Has your circadian cycle always been like that?
No, it started when I had to start study seriously. I've always found it easier to do so at night. University by itself had shifted it, but the quarantine is making it even worse. And thanks user. I've found it hard to concentrate lately too. I kinda feel the same way as you do but I have a shitton of work to do for university so my anxiety is pretty high.

Not even joking.
Oh dear, I hope you're at least keeping sane! Taking regular walks helps - and making sure you're taking care of yourself. That might be kind of dismissive of me to say - but I know I struggle with doing such. What do you do in your free time?
I can imagine. I don't think I could ever handle the stress of going to Uni! I wish I could help you pal. What is it that your studying anyhow? I've always felt a lot better during the night - hence I'm always awake when it's dark outside. Just less things to bother you, and it's completely quiet.
Engineering. Also doing research with a Prof. It's okay though, nothing beats last year when I worked part-time in top of my studies lmao
I have a few books laying around, but i can't be arsed to read them.
been a few months since I've read.
go outside and leave your phone behind
that's helped me
everyday around 17:00 I go outside, a whiff of fresh air, then i go to the medical center (it's public, heated and open) and read from my book until my mind is bored
it has helped me get through this book bit by bit as opposed to not at all
Beaucheff?
Thank you for your concern. I do think I'm sane enough. I reminisce about things that could have been but that I will never experience, now that I am old(er). I do like to walk and think, or just enjoy seeing different neighbourhoods, but haven't done it in a while. Not because of corona, but it certainly doesn't help.
I read a lot on internet, watch a lot of movies and tutorials about how to make stuff. When in high spirits, I try and build scale models.
>Beaucheff
Don't ever mention that hellhole again (yes)
>I reminisce about things that could have been but that I will never experience, now that I am old(er).
Hmm, me too; honestly though, not all of us are destine for a fulfilling or good life, and I've personally made peace with that. It is my fault for not doing anything about it anyhow.
Have you built anything interesting? Are they scale models made of wood? How are they made? Sounds sort of cool actually!

this way to the gas chambers by borowski
>how are you holding up
i am totally messed in the head currently. the image in OPs image is how i feel, since every day i wake up in a confused and unfocused state. i've been having brain fog for over a week now and i can't really concentrate on anything.
>jewnited states
>amazon.com
>good. working out helps me control my mood and thoughts and i'm staying entertained through vidya, cooking, Yas Forums, and /o/
>i've been having brain fog for over a week now and i can't really concentrate on anything.
It's awful, isn't it? I've had it for essentially as long as I remember. Like a buzz of contentedness, and being completely out of it. Trying to avoid caffeine as much as possible. It tends to amplify mine to a point of not being able to function.
i've had this once before in my life before this. it was one of the worst things i had experienced, this sounds silly but i mean it. i couldn't hold a train of thought for more than 3 words in my head, as i couldn't think beyond words and had no extended memory. i just zoned out for the two weeks i had it.
anyways, yes, i've been staying away from coffee and tea. such things are inhibitors to iron. i have been taking an iron solution for 4 days now and i don't know if it's gotten better. the next likely source of problem might be brain inflammation, which also causes such things, and that is a little bit more complicated. essentially staying away from gluten and sugar is also another measure to take. next is maybe the most likely source, magnesium deficiency. i have no access to much magnesium at this moment, but i am next to try that as my solution.
Not him, but it's a pretty famous novel about the conquest of the American West and the nature of violence. Often considered to have Gnostic themes.
>what book
I actually just started Ulysses tonight because I finally ran out if excuses not to.
>holding up
Just peachy. I got a lot of writing done while ""working"" from home last month and my state's extended lockdown to the end of May, so I should have plenty more time for reading and other hobbies.
>i've had this once before in my life before this.
Did it go away at one point? When? How? How long did it go on for before it went away? I just assume I'll be like this for the rest of my life. Do you have ADD?
>this sounds silly but i mean it
Not at all honestly, I honestly believe it can be quite life ruining if you let it. You become completely disfunctional
>Did it go away at one point?
yes, by the end of two weeks it had passed.
>When? How?
perhaps 3 years ago. i still remember the experience, and it was horrible.
i don't recall doing anything specifically to cause it, however at the time i would never really leave the house and would eat poorly. but none of those behaviours were different before and after the event.
>How long did it go on for before it went away?
it was constant over the 2 weeks. my current situation isn't so much the case. i get milder symptoms when i wake up and for a time i think well, but not fully.
>I just assume I'll be like this for the rest of my life.
we are simply biological machines; if we are effected by something like this it probably has a source. my best guess is it's dietary. gut bacteria imbalance, or a deficiency of some kind. i wouldn't accept the notion that this will go on forever unless you make no effort to change it.
>Do you have ADD?
i have no psychological/cognitive symptoms whatsoever.
i have no psychological/cognitive disorders diagnosed whatsoever.
i will also note that before i got to my current state i was eating very little and was drinking multiple cups of coffee daily. i thought it was anaemia at first (iron deficiency)
