angloids be like:
>I will translate the Επιθυμητικόν as 'Epithumetikon' and then translate that shit as 'Appetite'
How do you people understand anything of the philosophy when the names of your terms are all messed up like this?
Επιθυμητικόν is not exactly an appetite, it's a desire or maybe a longing.

Why does fantasy and science fiction books get a general but horror doesn't?

Ehh yeah plenty beats drugs. Drugs suck. Like I said I'm not really addicted anymore, I just need books on this topic because I'm not sure where to go from here. All the books on addiction are focused on overcoming it, not the after.

Like if someone was depressed for years, how do they just go back and recover their life?

So I read it sometime last month due it getting popular on youtube...it's good....but not like "oh god this is why I breathe" good. It's very well written and definitely captures the human experience, I felt basically enamored by it even if I thought his life was kinda shit and he made shit choices, it was still touching at parts. There's a lot of little bits of the book that really felt very true to life and I absolutely loved how it opened. It leaves me with a lot of mixed feelings because it's like...the book was pretty good and well written but the actual experience you have of it is so dry and boring because his life is that way...it's a lot. I basically wouldn't recommend it to someone myself, I would love to talk about it with people and will probably quote it or something, and I don't regret reading it. The female characters did feel flat but also most of the characters sort of had that vibe so I wouldn't say it was really unique to them. By flat I mean I guess they seemed secondary to Stoner but then again so did every other character. I was definitely like yikes at all the sex stuff with the wife, I was like...did they fuck did he just rape her wtf. Their dynamic was so bizarre and it's awful to think that there's likely many npc straight couples living like that. The chapters of the affair felt very very good but at the same time it does feel like that was likely intentional.

Basically to sum it all up it does feel like it captures life really well (as in the human condition), it's very well written, it was a good book and enjoyable in spite of the super super dry content. Might reread some parts. Wouldn't subject a friend to this recommendation though.

Reminder that John Keats was about as old as this woman is now when he wrote his Odes.
