/lit/ - Literature

by book you mean only specifically codices, printed or not, or any kind of literature set in some kind of lasting medium? are we counting reprints or not?

TAR?

it's still going, they switched to a quarterly format on july or something.

they probably just tired of having to keep up their personas. i bet they still lurk from time to time.

butterfly is still around tho. is stan around?

>How do so many people have such a high IQ on the internet?

a) lots lie b) those who got high scores are more likely to tell you their score than someone with an average to low score, and they are also likely to repeat it incessantly

pick and choose

on another note, i've been watching pervert's guide to ideology, and while it's mostly a rehash of a lot of his old arguments, it's quite nice to have these all together and with this amount of production value

>Style is a bourgeois illusion

how did you manage to get all those cocks in your mouth

it's not a book.

watch a good performance and you'll see it come to life. also, try reading bloom's chapter on lear in the invention of human.

schopenhauer is so cute pretending that the ultimate goal of music, poetry, fine art, literature and philosophy aren't simply a way for men to impress girls.

enjoyable but i remember less than i would with a normal book

>Fedora-tipping is usually just shitposting

yeah, but what isn't though? it's not a particularly damning thing to label something as on this board.

>We don't have walls of text about philosophy

yeah we do. look harder, maybe on the archive, but it happens and fairly regularly too. perhaps a bit less since the marxists took to posting a couple of daily threads but there is still content like this being posted.

i think you just dislike the way we present philosophy, because it's buried beneath condescension and memes and obscurantism, but its there and to be honest, it is mostly by the book. a lot of /lit/ is regurgitated primary or secondary sources.

people think a moveable feast, for whom the bells toll and the sun also rises when you say hemingway. i'd say old man and the sea is tier 1.5 in popularity. it's more popular than, say, to have and have not but definitely less popular than sun or bells. feast might be an edge case.

the fedora-tipping is because 4chan has pretty much set itself in opposition to reddit/tumblr culture. the antisemitism is just /pol/ leaking.

and (coherent) walls of text about theology have been a feature of /lit/ since the beginning. /lit/ definitely leans away from the pop-scientism atheist rhetoric and gives people like Aquinas et al a chance.

ehh i wouldn't really know how accessible they are, i rather enjoyed them but i was learning attic greek so

>>4208043
dumber

without repetition you'd have no point of reference or context for anything, so you'd basically be feeding him gibberish.

>bougereau

but the imprudent girl was gardner?

>>4208034
oh that

yeah most greek tragedies have that at its core

also the epics

they're not explicitly about it but they are. give oedipus or antigone a try.

define this "greek ideal" thing you speak of and we'll be able to help you

not everyone does, you might just have a more emotional or aesthetic connection to the text rather than a visual one, it's not something to worry about.
