Sorry, had wine.

>people pretending that it's somehow too late to start writing when most writers are old as fuck and never made a career of it in their youths

Actually, never mind; if you're this stupid, you were doomed anyway.

They are, are you retarded? Go read the definitions of those 2 words than go sit in the corner. Hell, I'm such a nice guy ill help you out, culture is a set of social behaviors and customs. an ideology is a set of ideas or beliefs. You still have to go sit in that corner though.

So /lit/, I will be ordering a few books soon and after searching around online stores I have come to a conclusion: There are way too many editions of the same book everywhere.

So help me out here, which is the best edited/closest to original/whatever else edition of the following books:

Nietzsche - Beyond Good and Evil
Max Stirner - The Ego and its own
William Hodgson - House on the Borderland

I have also ordered call of chtulhu & other wierd stories, one of the three new lovecraft tomes which are supposedly closest to lovecrafts original, are they?

Thanks for the useful input.

Hey /lit/. I'm a writer, not by trade, and I'm really curious about a lot of things. I'm not well read, nor have I published anything. I do write often, but I'm really looking to do something different and I needed to know if it was even... a thing.

Are there books, not screenplays, that have songs in them? With characters who just break into song during important parts/passages? Thanks.
