/lit/ - Literature

>>16316257
~9000 posts per day. Up from ~5500 in February, and ~4000 a few years ago. It was probably ~2000 pre 2016 but there isn't any data on that. I would guess somewhere between 800-2500 daily posters.

I wonder how much of it is the publishers decision/suggestion.
But anyway, real academic work doesn't have a PhD or Dr. next to it, because it's assumed. It is only with books intended for the hoi polloi that it gets added, and typically shitty self-help books at that.

Recently? I don't think so. They've been here in numbers for years. As to what /lit/ has done to deserve it: being unfortunate enough to have /pol/ and /r9k/ as neighbours. People lacking external markers of success seek internal replacements: in this case, distinction through education/high culture. No need to actually read though, simply acting as if you are part of the fraternity is enough to soothe the aches of the soul. Mediocrity love company.

I'm not sure if this is actually what you're looking for, but:
>Diplomacy - Kissinger
>A World Restored - Kissinger
>The twenty years crisis - Carr
>Politics among Nations - Morgenthau
>After Hegemony - Keohane
>Soft Power - Nye
>Power and Interdependence - Keohane & Nye
>A theory of International Politics - Waltz
>Man, the State, and War - Waltz
>Social Theory of International Politics - Wendt
And some more memey ones
>The Clash of Civilizations - Huntington
>The End of History - Fukuyama

What the fuck is this chart? The more I look at it, the worse it gets.

Why didn't he just embrace masc cross-dressing? It is the patricians fetish.

I don't have any literature to recommend since anything that I am thinking of is war before Vietnam which wouldn't be for you.

Maybe Heart of Darkness. Maybe.

But since you seem to want to talk about what's going on with you rather than just /lit/

It sounds like you have some experience with those who have served. Have you talked to anyone who would be less than thrilled at you joining the military? Vets who are against the military? That sort of thing?

I am not saying this to get you to go one way or the other, it's just you seem naively gong ho about this. The only reason I am actually responding to you right now about this is because my best friend was just like you and just came back from his second tour. He is fucked, and every vet I have met besides those in the Army who never saw service are fucked.

Just..just don't be a fucking idiot and romantically think about getting PTSD. Rolling panic attacks because you are afraid or irrational death is hell. Your ego won't have enough time to romanticize itself because you'll be too busy rolling your wrist at a 90 degree angle because THAT is what will stop your skull from disappearing.

Again do what you will, but the military is not the only thing to do when you need authority and instruction. Go teach for the poor. Go be a doctor. There are many options, one of course being the military, which may be for you.

It had both in the beginning.

Not in the end.

Episode 1 of season 2 however has rekindled my love.

And where the FUCK is log lady?

Yes it is. What else am I supposed to make out of what youve said so far? Look you have not given any argument beyond these two things this entire thread.


>You can't be serious. They have exactly the same kind of humor. Nichijou could not exist without AzuDai.

>Nichijou is stupid overdone tryhard comedy

You have just been repeating those two lines, the first one the most. What else am I supposed to think of your argument? Should I just mindread and know your reasons for disliking the show, or assume that what you dislike about the show has been what you have said?

So as a member of this group I can post.

Maybe I could help them out. I dont know, they are people who give a shit about writing, hopefully, and might represent us in some way. It would be nice if they were more coherent and critical.

What the hell do you say to things like this
>>5445672
>>5445683
To get them to be critical? It seems this

Is spot on
