/lit/ - Literature

FOLLOWING THE SAME LOGIC AS THE ORIGINAL POSTER, THE ACCURATE ANSWER WOULD BE "WHEN ONE STARTS BEING OLD".

A NOVEL BY A NEGRO WOULD BE SIMILAR TO AN OVERLY LONG "STREAM" OF "RAP LYRICS".

I WONDER WHAT WAS JEROME DAVID SALINGER'S OPINION RE JAMES JOYCE "IN GENERAL".

>the truest since of the world

I SMILED, AND THEN STOPPED READING THERE.

MY FAVORITE "VISUAL ARTISTS" OF THE "PAINTER" SUBCATEGORY ARE, IN DESCENDING ORDER:

EGON SCHIELE.

GUSTAV KLIMT.

HENRY DARGER.

WILLIAM BLAKE.

FRANZ MARC.

SALVADOR DALÍ.

"POP LITERATURE" HAS EXISTED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF LITERATURE.

YOU JUST NOTICED IT.

I DID NOT IMPLY "'IMITATION' OF 'EUROPEAN STYLE'" OR SOMETHING SIMILAR.

I IMPLIED AN "UNCONSCIOUS INFLUENCE".

AUTHORS FROM THE "EAST COAST" HAVE PRODUCED THE "BEST" "UNITEDSTATIAN LITERATURE", ACCORDING TO ME.

I INFER THAT IT IS BECAUSE THE OVERALL "SENSIBILITY" OF PERSONS ON THE "EAST COAST" IS MORE SIMILAR TO THE OVERALL "SENSIBILITY" OF "EUROPEAN SOCIETY".

"EUROPEAN LITERATURE" IS THE "BEST" LITERATURE.

>THE YEAR IS TWOTHOUSAND SEVEN.
>I AM SEVENTEEN YEARS OF AGE.
>I ENTER A BOOKSTORE, NOT LOOKING FOR A BOOK IN PARTICULAR.
>MY GLANCE MEETS WITH THE FEMALE CLERK'S GLANCE, AND INFERING FROM HER FACIAL EXPRESSION, SHE SEEMS "ATTARACTED TO ME".
>THE FEMALE CLERK IS APPROXIMATELY ONE METER SIXTY CENTIMETERS TALL, BLACK HAIR ARRANGED IN A "BUN", AND HER SKIN IS PALE WHITE WITH FRECKLES SPECKLED OVER HER CHEEKS & NOSE.
>SHE ASKS ME IF I NEED SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR.
>I LOOK TO MY RIGHT SIDE, TRYING TO THINK SOMETHING TO REPLY.
>I FEEL HER STARE AND I GET OVERLY ANXIOUS.
>I SAY "NO".
>HER FACIAL EXPRESSION BECOMES "BLANK", AS IF SHE WAS "SUDDENLY DISAPPOINTED".
>I WALK AWAY OUT OF THE BOOKSTORE IN SHAME.
>THAT WAS NOT THE FIRST SPACETIME THAT I HAVE BEEN IN THAT KIND OF SITUATION WHEN A GIRL APPROACHES ME WITH A "STOCK QUESTION", JUST TO ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION WITH ME, AND I GET OVERLY ANXIOUS, "THWARTING" HER APPROACH WITH A "SHARP ANSWER", WALKING AWAY.

HELLO, "POSTERS" OF /r9k/.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE KIND OF FLOWER?

I OVERLY LIKE VIOLETS (VIOLA ODORATA).

THEY APPEAL TO ME; THEIR AROMA AND THEIR COLOUR.

SECONDARILY, THEIR RELATIVELY PETIT SIZE.

I LOVE VIOLETS.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE KIND OF FLOWER?

IS THAT AN ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPH OF HER FACE?

I DO NOT KNOW AND I AM NOT "NEW" HERE.

"GENTILISM": ONE WORD. NINE LETTERS.

"PUFF WORD": TWO WORDS. EIGHT LETTERS. NINE CHARACTERS.

"DAVID FOSTER WALLACE"?

MORE LIKE "DERP FOSTER WALLACE".

>>2508798
>that book is hilarious though

XDD I AGREE THAT BOOK IS SO RANDOM & IRONIC ;)

TYPE WELL.

I LIKE IT VERY MUCH BUT IT IS NOT MY FAVORITE SHORT STORY.

I DO NOT HAVE A FAVORITE "SHORT STORY".

>I joined the military
>sci-fi
>S&S fantasy

"HOPE" IS NOXIOUS i.e. IT IS IRRELEVANT WHETHER IT STAYED IN "THE BOX", OR NOT.

>BUY BOOK OF "LITERARY FICTION".
>PERSON ASKS "WHAT IS IT ABOUT"?

>>2504595
>Don't be ignorant.

NOONE CHOOSES TO BE IGNORANT, EXCEPT WHEN ONE KNOWS THAT ONE IS IGNORANT AND THEN CHOOSES TO REMAIN IGNORANT, THEREFORE BEING "IGNORANT BY CHOICE".

YO ARE IMPLYING THAT HE ALREADY WENT THROUGH THE "THOUGHT PROCESS" OF REALIZING & EMBRACING HIS IGNORANCE ABOUT PERSONS READING SOMEONE ELSE'S POETRY BEING RELATIVELY "COMMON".

>millennials

FROM THAT I INFER THAT YOU ARE IN YOUR THIRTIES OF AGE.

FROM THAT I REALIZE THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW TO WHAT "DEMOGRAPHIC" THE "TERM" "MILLENIALS" APPLIES.

"MILLENIALS" ARE "GENERATION Z". YOU MEANT TO REFER TO "GENERATION Y".

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS PERSON:

>>2501425

HE IS A RETROGRADE.

HE PROBABLY ALSO THINKS THAT "FREE VERSE" IS NOT "POETRY".

IT MADE ME SMILE.
