/lit/ - Literature

Wait a minute, these two aren't comparable. Kierkegaard is a philosopher, Dostoevsky is a novelist. Why would you put them in the same post?

I never knew we had so many fucking STEM bugmen on /lit/. Is this why the board is so bad these days?

Wait a minute, Milton wasn't Catholic.

Milton was rather infamously anti-Catholic, he was a staunch Protestant.

Is OP a retard?

Wait a minute, this poetry shit that's being posted... it's not IN the book, is it?

Cline didn't actually try to write, like, a poem or a song, did he?

>so many great authors have some kind of autism
>so many great authors have depression
>so many great authors are just flat-out insane

Do you have to be mentally fucked to be a great artist?

Is this why /lit/ is so shit these days? Do we have actual retards here? Anon do you even have a high school reading level?

Okay what the FUCK is up with the fucking board tonight? OP's stupidity is the third or fourth fucking thread I have seen on /lit/ tonight of people asking "what's the point of reading" or something like that. Are we being raided? Did we just happen to attract a collection of bugmen today, soulless ape people? What's going on?

Wait, some shit is BANNED on Amazon? What's banned? Is there a list?

Yeah, why do people do this? I don't go to /sci/ and ask what the purpose of physics is. Why do we get all these idiots asking us about what we do?

Why does everyone in this thread feel like some midwit teenager? These are all the kinds of stupid ideas I had and thought were original back when I was 15.

Why do I always see multiple threads on this subject? Are you faggots really that much of a bunch of pathetic betas? Or am I just unusually outgoing and confident for a poster on /lit/? I've had to write and speak in front of a crowd multiple times and I've never had a problem with it. Especially when it's a celebration of my own work, as it is in OP's case.

>that bottom right

Is that... ClassicalTheist? The weirdo from Catholic Twitter?

>>13923398
I can't decide if this thread is off-topic or not.

>Catholic
>Freemason

Who the fuck is this? Is this some R*ddit shit? I've been on 4chan for 11 years but I've never been to R*ddit, so I wouldn't know.

We average at least one thread on Borges a week, OP. In fact, I would never have read Borges if it weren't for /lit/. Where the fuck have you been?

>/lit/ doesn't like Vollman

How can anyone not see The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as a pretty biting satire of slavery and mistreatment of blacks? That's one of the strong themes of the book. How can you be that stupid?
