/lit/ - Literature

My biggest issue with tests like MBTI or even other shit like Harry Potter houses are that they don't test for what personality you have, they test the one that *you think* you have.
Most people have a horrible sense of their own self and are worse judges of what they're truly like than the people around them are.
>What are you like?
>Well I'm very nice, of course. I am quite brave. I'm a very good friend. I'm trustworthy. I hate drama...

Can I get recommendations on books on how to WRITE good fiction?
There are countless books on this topic, but it seems like the majority of them are just about how to write formatted Hollywood movie scripts.

So you end up in the Jazz (tv show) situation of being castrated pre puberty which means you have no normal sexuality, urges, never experienced an orgasm and probably never will. Oh and you also have a baby dick which means they can’t use the inside out dick sock method for constructing the “vagina” and have to use the colon (you poo from there) as the tube for the “vagina”. This combination of tissues does not want to stick together that well so expect complications including ruptures and a distinct fecal smell from the colon’s mucus lining. Most of this was documented in that I Am Jazz show btw.

Now you never get this level of reality check from the official debates and that’s a big part of the problem. Parents and kids are sold a bill of goods when it comes to how well this shit is supposed to work and what medical science can do. People STILL spread the lie that hormones can be suppressed and that it’s reversible and harmless even though all European countries reversed course on that. It shouldn’t be surprising since a stalled puberty itself is a serious medical condition we treat because of the harm it can do. Your body only has a limited window to hit a normal puberty. We’re back to the permanent baby dick issue for people who reversed course too late, not to mention the mental effects which are less visible but just as bad.

Why would anyone bother reading contemporary lit, 99.9% of which is total garbage not worth touching, when there are thousands of years of classics I haven’t read, of which there’s a better then average likelihood they’ll be a 7/10-10/10?

None

The Eastern canon lacks the shared historical melding that would define it. We see the rough outline of an “eastern canon” from the west in the oriental influences that speckle the western canon, but once in the east the illusion shatters and each cultural area retreats inward to their own canon, strongly rejecting any attempt to pair them with one of their neighbors.

Where can I buy all the volumes of the "Trial of the Major War Criminals before the International Military Tribunal"?

Need physical copies.

Is reading a hobby?

Ouch.

Why does anti-natalism upset /lit/? I want to discuss this topic without "cope" and seethe.

>look for jobs where they require my degree
>they still ask for experience

>login back to instagram after 3 months
>immediately want to delete my account again
The best way I can describe this feeling is like seeing that one acquaintance you wanted to avoid across the room when you enter a restaurant but it's too late to back away because you've caught each other at the same moment.

>be black American
>comfortably speak "AAVE" because I grew up in that environment
>my parents also taught me the value of speaking properly and being educated so people don't take you for a fool
>mfw academics try to make "AAVE" anything beyond speech that's common among the poor and uneducated
It's almost like they still want blacks to be somekind of circus attraction or something. I'm so tired of this planet.
