/lit/ - Literature

Hey /lit/ do you guys know any good books about advertising/psychology of advertising. I'm thinking some books written by Edward Bernays, maybe some other advertising psychoanalysts/psychologists. Also, psychoanalysis general thread, specifically Jung- have you guys ever read the Red book or seen it online?

Whats the best edition of moby dick to read. I've read a lot of good things about this edition: http://www.bookdepository.com/Moby-Dick-or-Whale-Herman-Melville/9780520045484 But it just seems inherently wrong to read one of the greatest english language novels of all time with accompanying pictures... Part of me feels like the pictures would dilute the effect of the prose or at least supplant a good deal of their effect. The description says it has like 100 pages of illustrations. Thoughts anyone?

I refuse to believe its' becoming a meme. What proof you have?

Burn in your own hells you remorseless lot of fiends, let you be eternally confused with your meanderings between two extremes. May you all never cease your restless and pointless struggle to grasp reality, may those of you who seek nothingness fade into oblivion and may those of you seek everything explode into into eternity. For those of you who seek war, have peace, for those of you who seek peace may you have war. May all those think themselves Kings may you find yourself a peasant, a meagre ant. May those of that think yourselves a peon, a parasitic rump of skin, may you find yourself a paragon. You are damned here to this paradigm, you will be allotted no time to think but you will be given time to act. Most of you however, will not.

If you have read tons of literature, namely Greek, I would hope you to assume that they typically had no need to convey their internal feelings as they strictly held so many convoluted and one sided views on logic, I.e what can be seen, reasoned and soberly held in mind: a wall. its' structure. Prayer has nothing to do with this, so they left that to chance in vague rituals in hopes' of quelling their inherent human fear of the unknown. More than that, why would anyone be bothered to record their fears of said unknown, especially in such a stoic society. That's my opinion atleast.

To further that point, if you aren't a fucking robot and your audience isn't totally autistic, isn't a robot themselves, or completely retarded in the sense that they lack basic conceptual ability, you should be fine. That in mind I would also advise to keep the conceptual limits of others in mind as well, lest you write something that no one of your generation could decipher, many works are probably masterpieces but they were written with a strictly internal vision of their projection; which practically just doesn't work.

There was a book written by an AI that nearly won an award in Japan, I had read excerpts of this book and let me tell you that I thought it was perfect syntax, absolute mastery of grammar and spelling was included, aside from that it was complete and total shit. Stick to your guns and work from there.

Unfortunately the fellow doesn't likely see the point, because of his perspective, most likely a nihilist of sorts.

Also after thinking about this, I came to the conclusion that unless the material the muscle the eyes are made of block out light, the eye sockets in the skull technically might let light in
