/lit/ - Literature

I really like the word "cunt" but I never use it because it makes me feel weird.
It just sounds so nice. Like a word punch.
Just "cunt"
It doesn't look nice, though, just to say/hear.

Egil's Saga by Anonymous

Employers don't give a shit about that, I didn't have a facebook when I got hired at both of my jobs.
Don't expect anything glorious to happen without facebook, you'll just become lonely in time because nobody communicates via phone anymore for some reason.
Don't take it all so seriously mate

Acceptable by what standards
Make your own decisions for yourself

Nothing really, do what you want

Wow I completely forgot about Goodreads

That would depend on what you've read/done with your life instead

/lit/ is easily the least friendly board on 4chan
I personally don't know of any books like that, but maybe somebody will come along who does.
You might try looking here and see if there's anything that catches your eye.

Best of luck with your search

It's saddening to see no replies to this and I'm really interested in this book for no apparent reason and would like to see a discussion about it but haven't read it and therefore can't contribute so I'll at least bump.

That's such a massive genre that you're just going to get yelled at.
Narrow it down some.
What fields of non-fiction are you most interested in?

I for one am extremely excited.

It was to my understanding that discussions like these were to take place on >>>/q/

I don't mean to keep bumping with repeated replies, but I just remembered:
That was upload a while ago and there have been new additions to the list, so there are of course some missing books.

Went searching through the archive and found it, here you are

There is, it's just difficult to find for somebody who doesn't have it on-hand.
I had it bookmarked on my old computer, but didn't transfer it over unfortunately.
I'm sure somebody does

He's easily my favorite author, and I wouldn't have the love that I have for books without him.

Still seems interesting. Will add to the list.

I'll add in my own recommendation, "The Vikings: a History" by Roger(Robert?) Ferguson was pretty alright. Clearly, though, just a history.

Metal isn't books though.
And November is over now anyways.

Hey, /lit/, I need some assistance.
I've taken a shine lately to Norse mythos and stories, and I was wondering if anybody knew of any books in that style?
I've already looked at the Norse recommended reading list (picture related) and plan to take a look at some of those, but I was looking for more of stories instead of histories/mythologies.
Any help would be appreciated.

Harry Potter were bad books turned into alright movies.

I'd say keep looking around, I got it for roughly half that price but that's also because I work at a bookstore.
Still, though, it was listed at $50 instead of the $85 there.
Just look around, I guess. Every bookstore near you is almost guaranteed to have a copy of LOTR/Hobbit.

In response to your "not a recreational reader" question, they may or may not. The Hobbit was written for children and is thus much easier to get through, whereas LOTR is more dense and sloggish to get through and some people have a lot of trouble with it.
I personally have the following copies of both LOTR and Hobbit, and they're very nice editions.
