/lit/ - Literature

It wasn't terrible or anything, but it's not worth hype. My favorite thing about the book is how frequently it's banned in schools, which is amusingly ironic.

>like Star Wars novellization shit
The EU varies /wildly/ in quality, ranging from mind-numbingly retarded to surprisingly thoughtful. The movie novellizations themselves are nothing special, except for Episode 3's novellization, because the author basically said "Fuck it, George Lucas is a shitty storyteller" and re-wrote half the story to drum out the movie's shitty points and expand on its' good points.

"STOP HAVING FUN AND READ RIGHT, GUYS" much?

I'd rather kids read at all than decide that all books are incomprehensible and boring. Even reading Twilight is better for inane <90IQ tween girls than thinking books are those old things english classes sometimes make you pretend to look at.

I was in high school when the first Twilight came out, after which I got MUCH less funny looks when I said that no, I wasn't reading this thick novel for the English Class From Hell, I just liked the book and wanted to read it.

I never liked Harry Potter, by the way, because as a kid I didn't like fantasy much at all (ironically, because I thought it was all kiddie). You don't have to read "classics" to be a fan of literature. It just boils down to people not liking hte same things you do. There is no reason to claim that Harry Potter isn't literature because it's popular.

I don't believe there is any one belief that will avoid having people tell you you're wrong and stupid and a faggot. So fuck it if other people say you're wrong.

It's only good to re-evaluate your own position if -you- think you're wrong. If you do, then good, it's a sign of maturity to be able to re-evaluate yourself.

jesus fucking christ, is /lit/ trolled this easily?

it's simple: people fucking disagree. You're never, ever, ever going to convert someone by arguing with them anonymously on 4chan.

Blanket statements will not will not compel people to donate more of their shit than what the government takes already. They will also not convince other people from demanding that the government take more from you for their benefit.

Personally, honestly, I don't really give a flying fuck if there are starving children in Africa. Sucks to be them and I'm glad I'm not one of them. I'm nice and cozy in my private room on my $2,000 computer displayed on my $220 monitor, and I would not trade that for less because other people live in fucked up worlds. I didn't put them there and it's not my responsibility to fix the world. I'd rather be comfortable and happy and have what I want. Is that selfish? Too damn bad, I earn the right to be selfish.

...so, what you're saying is, he's the physical embodiment of 4chan?

>alternate history

The most recent alternate history I read

Seconding Harry Potter.

Man, when I was...however old I was when they first became popular, -everyone- assumed I liked them because I was a nerdy kid who liked to read, therefore I must like to read Harry Potter because "that's what all the kids are reading these days."

Even my fucking mother bought me the third or fourth (forget which) book in the series. Without bothering to see if I liked the series or read the first books in the series.

Grr.

Forgot my pic.

Pic related, though it was written in 1989. The sequel, World Without End, came out in 2007 - I didn't like it as much as PotE but it wasn't terrible by any means.

Also, this is a stock reply, but have you read The Road? It's fairly short, unlike PotE.

Don't read a book for its length.

>blanket statements are always completely factual
