/lit/ - Literature

Honest question guys what does studying philosophy add to your life? It seems like it just alienates you from society and drives you mad. Are there any benefits of studying philosophy?

none of you actually finish entire books right? You just read the headings of the chapters that sound most interesting and move on right? I mean who seriously sits here and reads 1000 pages of nonsense that can be summed up in like 20 pages.

>Let's jump to October 2010. In those six months, Hocking has raised not only the $300 she needed, but an additional $20,000 selling 150,000 copies of her books. Over the past 20 months Hocking has sold 1.5m books and made $2.5m. All by her lonesome self. Not a single book agent or publishing house or sales force or marketing manager or bookshop anywhere in sight.

What the fuck bros. I could use some money like that.

I'm starting to realize you guys have just as bad a taste in books as the people you complain about

I AM a high school dropout.

freestyle, from the top of my head right now!

and he came,
he wasn't sure if he was sane,
he stood up, and
understood, that
life has no meaning at all,
he's free, he's flying in the sky
he has no tasks, he's got no problems, sly
devils try to make him sad again, mad!
but he don't give a shit, hes lit.

this poet stuff we do we share now here, in this thread

Every thread on this board that even has one letter is literature. So you can basically post anything, shit post for ever.
