/lit/ - Literature

If you mean Spain, let me tell you i've been reading Cervantes quite a lot this year and he rekts. But I don't wanna be that guy who cream over El ingenioso hidalgo so I'd say you read this exemplary nobel called The conversation of the dogs, a god tier Picaresque about some fucking talking dogs. If you're already reading Don Quijote (as you should if you're interested in Spanish literature) the Exemplary novels are a good relief between par 1 and 2, The conversation happens to be the best one of them.

Awfully translated, yeah.

In one shelf:

>Full complete works of the author I'm working with in order to get my degree.
>Critical literature about the author.
>History about the city this author is obssesed with.

Another:

>The greeks.
>Hispanic lit. (From Mio Cid to Juan Villoro)
>English lit. (From Beowulf to Pynchon)
>European lit. (From The Divine Comedy to Le Clezio)
>Rest of the world lit. (Not much)
>Literary theory. (A lot)

So lets become annoying faggots?

Yeah, I know this, I'm not even trying anymore. I's like I have tourette or some shit.

My influences are mexican sitcoms.

Any names on the style you're refering to?

But I feel sad after every joke I tell.

How does /lit/ feel about jokes? From puns to well thought ironies.

Is anyone here trying to write comedy or jokes? How's it going?

I'm having trouble with a side effect of trying to write jokes: i'm overdoing it on my social life. Cracking a joke Chandler style could be a nice brain flexing once in a while, but when you start doing it to unsuspected people (like your elders, the people that works for you, random stragers on the street), well, it feels awful. Mind you, I never wrote a decent joke so my sex jokes should be even worse. Today I got punched in the face because I overheard my professor's wife talking with a female professor about how she just got back her sexlife. I approached her and asked her "how was the dog like?" and she fcuking punched me.

So is there a way to prevent this?

TL;DR: How to stop craking jokes?

Because autism became a thing. You should gather all artists around the internet who suffer some kind of social autism to create a new XXI art movement and you could call it Autism!. Just get a manifest or something.

Sometimes it works that way, but I'm pretty sure most music or litetature critics can't craft for shit, not that is needed to have a powerful opinion.

Ok you're missing one big point in this. The labor of the spectator, the entertaiment consumer with half a brain, should read the media as critically as he can. Without this kind of men, chaos would ensue. Connoisseurs of any kind of craft or art are needed in a society. That's why you can actually get a PhD on reading literature.

You can do drugs, be a degenerate and read, all of this at the same time. These are the best kind of readers.

I'm pretty sure they are. Have you ever heard about couch potatoes? I think people would look down on you for watching shitty series and reality TV.

Most people would think is great you read a lot as long as you're not trying to make a career out of it. Wich is a retarded statement in it's own way but not the same.

Also, OP, stop trying to talk about books with Tyrone and Yakeesha.

You're wrong. Literature should accomplish what only literature can. If it doesn't, what's the point?

I edited it because I missphrased it. From what I wrote one could tell I was saying Martin was a good writer the same level as Tolkien. To be honest, Tolkien is not the best writer ever, but deserves respect and admiration.

>>4865325
No deep artistic meaning? You're wrong but if you really think Tolkien is just "cool" why do you read it?

>>4865317
Tolkien was a great writer with great ideas. Why do you even bring him up?

Good writers with great ideas. Why do you even bring them up?

Oh, but, in order to be literature, it does.

I'm susprised Di Giorgio made to that list. He's from Uruguay and almost no one there reads here, let alone spanish speakers as a whole. Nice read, tho. Kind of strange, I mean, the old lady was on fcuking shroom or something. Furfags should totally read, as the amount of bestiality is too damn high.

Clarice Lispector. Read The Passion According to G.H.

De cualquier manera, el consenso es que el acento argentino es el más irritante. El de España se tolera siempre y cuando no se trate de esos horribles doblajes.
