/lit/ - Literature

I usually turn my notes into audio files so I can listen to them and review the content while I'm doing something else. These files are automatically sent to my phone and a computer playlist based on a spaced repetition algorithm, so that I always receive each file at the most optimal period for long-term retention. I listen to them while driving, cooking or working out.

Genre fiction is any story created to explicitly appeal to fans of existing stories. It often refers to sci-fi, fantasy, noir, and westerns, but also includes novels about novelists struggling to write novels. Genre is the storytelling technique of the managerial class because its rule-abiding nature resembles a bureaucracy.

The academic model is an outdated way to create, organize and distribute knowledge

>A wise old novelist once said that anybody could rig up their own border: just rent a cheap trailer, a portajohn, and a little bumper bar to go over the highway, and a guy in a funny suit to collect immigration material, and you've got a state.
Which novelist is he talking about? Is this a real quote paraphrased or he's full of shit?

I'm not sure if I should go back to community college or get a job. I'm 22 and didn't go to high school or even middle school and my life has been pretty much garbage all in all with poverty, domestic abuse and isolation taking the forefront. When I finally worked up the nerve to go to college last year it ended in complete failure as I found it too stressful and decided to stop going. I don't regret that decision, though. I was only taking my gen-ed courses and boy was it a waste of fucking time, to go there and learn to write journalistic takes on cultural topics it was a genuine fucking slog... but still, I did enjoy that feeling of being a student, I don't know how to describe it... it was like, for the first time when someone asked me what I did, I could say "I'm a student" and they'd ask me what I'm studying and I could say "computer engineering..." for the first time in my life I felt like a human being among other human beings whereas before, I could only hang my head feeling what might be called a sense of shame... so yeah I miss that part, but I don't miss college itself. I wish I could go to a real university but again I'm poor and not a genius.
Personally, I'm satisfied with myself. I think I have some pretty good qualities despite all I've been through. But actively cultivating myself has proven extremely difficult, especially since I spend so much time procrastinating. If I were to add a job, or school, ontop of that, I wouldn't have time to work on myself, I'd basically regress.
Opinions?

Works that cater to both ends are considered masterpieces, for example: neon genesis evangelion

I've seen Forest Passage displayed in a bookshop associated with the local university. Now no one likes to riff on burger retardation more than me, but you the state probably considers as much of a threat as pic related.
