>almost everyone will get something useful out of reading it
t. has never read it
All it is is run on sentences about the most basic fucking writing advice you can get anywhere online, with a sprinkling of popsci "brain science" in a few spots to justify the title. If you aren't totally braindead and have sought any kind of other writing advice the book is useless.
>dude like you have to like make a character have more than one like quality dude
Woah wow such good advice I never would have thought of on my own.
>bro if you set something up to look one way then subvert it readers like that because it means your story is unpredictable just like real life
NO WAY MAN ARE YOU SERIOUS?
>Man have you ever thought that, like, your characters are people in their own universe and have their own beliefs and stuff just like real people and those can be used to make them seem more real
You are blowing my FUCKING mind man.
>Hey, you should make a plot outline but not one that's too rigid because writing is inherent a flexible and dynamic art
Please master, allow me to kiss your feet.
Anyone recommending this book as writing advice should seriously consider never putting pen to paper again.

Nice cope schlomo. Everything he said is true. How can people defend present day circumstances. 40 years ago, yeh that would make sense. But if you're a millenial you are literally getting fucked hard jews 24/7.

Its stockholm syndrome or some shit.

>longer life expectancy
great I get to be a wagie even llonger
>gdp increase
literally a jewish measurement. never meant shit. 40 more mcdonalds and more porn? GDP GO UP
>extreme poverty
relative and has changed every year for the past 20 years. The US has 30 million people who are food insecure yet not counted in extreme poverty
>war making capacity
who cares
>living in a democracy

>Being this much of a dumb fuck
I asked you to tell where is the lie in the other post since you are the one with the "attacker" role here.
If everything you have to say is "you cant trust everything science says" then there is no lie in there, congrats.
But it shows just the same if not higher level of ignorance in believing in everything that the jew killed by the romans reportedly sayed.
Christfags crouch themselves like verms and avoid debate every time the topic of determinism is brought in.

>stem major helps the world than a humanities major.
>hurr does that mean mah iphone?
This as got to be a parody. Out of all the shit you can pick on that "stem" has done, you cherry pick the shitty iphone just so you can bash it easily with "muh west declining into shallowness". The same way iliterate stem students associate literature with harry potter bullshit, the pretentious humanities students also associate stem with iphones and instagrams, which shows a complete lack of understanding from both sides.

Pynchon's novels read like they were shouted onto the page.

His "oeuvre" is the literary equivalent of a bugs bunny cartoon.

Also if you think that Delillo, DFW, and Pinecone were the "main writers of the 20th century" you need to expand your horizons.

What is wrong with literature as an exploration of form and aesthetic? Is that not a point in itself?

What is with this cancerous worship of practicality?

>new atheist cuck writes a book that clearly indicates he would fail an introductory philosophy of religion class
>has no understanding of the philosophy of Aristotle or Aquinas, yet feels qualified to write about religion
>instead of understanding metaphysics, sweeps it under the rug with wishful thinking

Viper got this phenomenon pretty down in his track "Mo' Than A Dream." The chorus is:

>The Money Got Crazy
>The I did got lazy
>But it's comin' so eazy
>Because the whole world needz me

He might have intended to enrich the minds of the world's youth when he started out, but then the money got crazy and he realized that the less he tried the more people would love him. I don't know how well my integrity would hold up if I was offered millions for something I knew was worthless shit.
