>“Writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist and to offer a summary, a commentary.” - Borges

>tfw you agree with this but you've been writing novels
A part of me wants to move to shorter, perhaps more experimental forms, but I guess I fear losing the effect I would have of delivering the story in full detail.

This desu sempai. But there was that one guy who actually commited suicide, Camus made fun of him in one of his books because he killed himself after finishing book thinking its gonna get acclaim but it was just a really bad book.

where do people share their short stories / novels / whatever online ?
I checked some websites out like booksie and wattpad but it seems like they're just filled with shitty poems and fanfictions.

Hello /lit/,

Tell me something, what is your reading "strategy/route", do you plan the order that you are going to read books/learn new subjects?

Mine follows this Scheme:

1. My country literature canon.
2. Literature of countries that influenced mine ( Mainly Russian and French). + Philosophy
3. American Literature + My country history.
4. International literature in general ( Mexico, Spain, etc) + Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology.
5. Ancient Greek + Catholic Lit.
6. Modern humanes

I'm currently on step 1 going to step 2. Do you guys do something similar?
