/lit/ - Literature

It's time.

We have voted to read David Foster Wallace's Infinte Jest for this Summer's group.

>What about the Don Quixote group?
DQ was a close second to IJ. People wanted to make a separate reading group for the book. Nobody's stopping you from choosing either this, but a patrician would take part in both.

>How many pages?
This week, we'll read 200 pages. I'm willing to negotiate on this-- if we read at this rate, we will have read the ENTIRE BOOK in about 5 weeks.
If you want to carry over Summer and calm it down a bit, then we certainly can.

>We already did this one 10 years ago
10 years ago. If you read it already, you're welcome here to pitch in :)

>Discord?
No. We're keeping all discussion in the threads.

Let's get started, gents

Welcome to the terrarium, kid.

I need more books like Finnegans Wake, The Cantos, etc. Books that can be researched into in every word

Step one: Be born
Step two: either have good parents who nurture you intellectually or not (If the former, you're ahead of everyone else)
Step three: shine through a subkect or an art by middle school, start making connections
Step four: high school comes, you're either already accpeted into Harvard or you'll just go to your state uni because it's close and affordable. Of course you can make it into that
Step five: either become an academic/superstar in your subject/field of interest or another average citizen
Step six: die

Books for grim realities of life?

Post your work here.
No rules, critique what you want, talk shit,etc.

Other one is too slogged

This board [1] is the result of a bunch of no good teenyboppers wasting their time [2]. There's this thing that the posters [3] have that will constantly make you wonder what force is at work. It is infested with mice and it likely shows signs of ascariasis [4].
I scrolled through the catalog and came across (sic.) five threads that had no association whatsoever with literature. There is a sort of odd pride I took to self when I noticed an assortment of my face posted as a reaction to other posters [5].
Quite humorous and tickling, yet rather something that is shunned by the masses.

[1] That is, ">>>/lit/catalog," known as "/lit/" by the users.*
[2] Most are college students, likely studying English or philosophy.
[3]* The posters, also known by the unanimous "anons" are various people, dominantley American middle-class white men. The uniqueness of 4Chan is due to the anonymous culture.
[4]: Ascariasis is a disease caused by the parasitic roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides.
[5] A majority of these pictures are directly screenshot from my interviews. Some anons collect rarer pictures of me, hunting for my youth or university times.

seriously. Writing like him more and more, whether for good or bad
