/lit/ - Literature

Mogwai and 21 pictures of Al Green doesn't really qualify as a club

>hey /lit/ read X because I like it
I liked the other book club more, personally

Actually, Gibson thinks you're going to get annihilated by the bible Greatest work of fiction ever written

I was going to make one depicting /shit/ in all it's glory, but was overcame by lethargy

Really? We get this all the time.
>why didn't the eagles fly to mount doom
>what if Sauron conquered middle earth
>etc

Mind you, it's a topic more interesting than half the crap posted on /lit/ daily. Proceed...

Yeah, there is always tons of crap before the gems. Comb the prehistory of film and gain hipster cred by watching awesome diamonds they've probably never heard of

1980's is where it's at, if you ask me.

Moar like what would happen if OP read another book for a change instead of posting LOTR alternate history scenarios every second day?

As much as /lit/ likes to seethe with rage over trip antics, most of anon actively encourages it

it's like Stagolee all over again

>recommended reading .jpg
Because one anon with photoshop obviously represents the whole of /lit/

Ahmadinejad acting like a bro
Or an impersonator. I wouldn't be surprised

Gibson thinks your piece is decently written, but really very cliched.

7/10, the shadowy man was a nice twist and the plotting does not feel forced, but "it was all a dream" and "aspiring writer" are like the most cliche factors you could have possibly written

Also, I think you are writing a tad too vaguely the emotion you wish your actor to convey. /opinion

No worries, that site is pure gold. Best thing to ever be recommended off /lit/

You're talking about write or die?
http://writeordie[dot]drwicked.com/

I seem to remember my prof talking about this one. Written shortly before Hemmingway committed suicide, aparently

IIRC The older waiter was empathetic with the man because he was essentially in the same boat. Nothing to live for

>implying I don't just buy 1 book at a time and occasionally take out multiple nonfiction texts from the library to pore over at my leisure
HAVING FUN ISN'T HARD WHEN YOU'VE GOT A LIBRARY CARD

nope. I've decided to take a shot at a smalltime poetry competition-with-chance-of-being-published instead. I'm goning to fail miserably, but this time I'll try to lose even better than last time

I've got ~20 pages of decent poetry, 8 more and I'll at least clear the minimum requirements

>/sci/ is the only board to seriously take interest in trolling /lit/ other than /b/
>asks for us not to shoot them with a .44 magnum and give them free books instead
>Gibson's face when

>>1112880
This anon has a point. If you're not really into loldeep, I'd suggest you stay away from what he mentioned.

Although for for taxi driver I gotta say...

>btw the entire movie is available on youtube iirc. ''idi i smotri'' subtitles and everything. that movie puts icecicles in my heart
Holy shit. Must watch again.
:3
Soviet-era cinema can be fucking amazing. Unique landscapes, different cinematography, actors that do stuff their american counterparts wouldn't even dream of, a focus on symbolism to avoid the censors... FUCK YEA

>Good films
Stalker, Meshes of the afternoon, Eraserhead, Angels egg, brazil, chinatown, come and see, Ghost in the shell 1+2, Princess mononoke, Cat soup, taxi driver, dark city, requiem for a dream, Akira, apocalypse now, Blade Runner, grave of the fireflys

I had a friend who watched good films almost compulsively, and I stuck around to watch with him. I'd really like to recommend all of these to you if you have time.. you won't be disappointed. Some, like Meshes of the Afternoon or Ghost in the Shell might be a little too arthouse or slightly animu for you, but even then it's a good list

le feu,Storm of Steel,All quiet on the western front, Ghosts have warm hands, A Terrible Beauty: The Art of Canada at War (stupid title, but a really good selection of ww1 poems)
There you have'em, go crazy. Don't forget the art of Otto dix for a good dose of trauma

Also, while I'm at it... anybody know of a british short story called "the sniper", or something? Features a sniper killing brits on the western front only to get captured and wrapped up in barbed wire to die or something. I've been looking for that one for ages
