/lit/ - Literature

/lit/

(...) but those discussions of philosophy that take place on /lit/ should be based around specific philosophical works to which posters can refer.

Check the wiki, the catalog, and the archive before asking for advice or recommendations, and please refrain from starting new threads for questions that can be answered by a search engine.

/lit/ is a slow board! Please take the time to read what others have written, and try to make thoughtful, well-written posts of your own. Bump replies are not necessary.

This board needs to be turned into a /general/ board, with topics getting their own individual threads because right now, "Please take the time to read what others have written, and try to make thoughtful, well-written posts of your own. Bump replies are not necessary." is a completely unnecessary rule.
