Turns out I spontaneously came up with the opening bars of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Yeah, I guess you could say I'm a polymath renaissance man of the arts destined for greatness.

ITT: post about how you fuck with literary midwits
>That's all well and interesting, but have you read 1985?
>*snickers sententiously* Ummm, I think you meant Nineteen-Eighty-FOUR
>No. I meant what I said. Have you read 1985?
>Look, I think you're confused. The book is titled 1984...by George Orwell...
>No. I'm asking you about 1985 by Anthony Burgess.
>Who?
The best part is they walk away from that exchange thinking they are smarter than me and that I'm an idiot, but really they don't see I've been playing them like a fiddle for my own enjoyment.

I'm going to the library! Wish me luck!

>L'Ecole des Filles (The school for girls) (1655), attributed to Michel Millot and Jean L'Ange.[36][37] and The Dialogues of Luisa Sigea (c. 1660) by Nicolas Chorier.[38][39] Such works typically concerned the sexual education of a naive younger woman by an experienced older woman and often included elements of philosophising, satire and anti-clericalism.[40] Donald Thomas has translated L'École des filles, as The School of Venus, (1972), described on its back cover as "both an uninhibited manual of sexual technique and an erotic masterpiece of the first order".[41][42] In his diary Samuel Pepys records reading and (in an often censored passage) masturbating over this work.[43]
Based. Can you imagine in the future historians caring about what pornography you masturbated to?
What are other books worth writing down in your diary to inform future generations about what is good masturbation material?

What happened to that Brazilian autist from a few weeks ago who sperged out during a literature presentation and called the black girl in his class a "dirty favela monkey"? Did he get expelled? Or did some gangbangers from the favela execute him like they do in "City of God"?

unfathomably based.

If you are American then you took at least 4 years of a foreign language in high school, if not a total of 7 counting middle school. Therefore there is no excuse for why you don't read books in that language. If you have graduated college or are in university as an American, then in addition to your 4-7 years of foreign language you will have become proficient as a degree requirement in that same foreign language or a new one. Therefore there is no excuse for why you don't read books in the foreign language you learned at college.

Hey /lit/, do you want to see some ESLs seethe? Watch this.

Are these sentences grammatically correct?
>Are you the man in that picture?
>Are you the man in this picture?

I guarantee some ESL will come in here and attempt to explain how only one of these sentences is grammatically correct. I love seeing ESLs seethe over the use of this and that. So let the seething begin!
