/lit/ - Literature

Which works of literature will best let me understand neurotypicals?

How do I deal with the fact that the Munchhausen trilemma exists and all philosophy is bullshit and all humanities / art / politics is narcissistic posturing?

Everything is such BS on a big pile of BS on a mountain of BS, it's all so hard to take. Everything boils down to BS or trivialities.

He stutters when he speaks. He isn't a good speaker. But he is a good BTFOer of left-wing degenerate nonsense, phony outrage, and cossetted TV stars like Matthew Perry and the Alleged Comedian in the Hat.

>it's a Peter is a leftist who wants the government to run the economy column

>it's an 'all stories at the same, muh hero's journey' writing manual

>[Paper Title]: Towards a [One School of Thought] of [Another School of Thought]

Too cutesy and saccharine. If I had a dollar for every brainless hipster who tattooed "So it goes" on their wrist, I would be a millionaire.

Vonnegut is one of the few things that can be accurately judged by its fans. The average Metallica fan is a burnout idiot, but their music is pretty good. However, Vonnegut fans are annoying though tolerable and think themselves smarter or more 'aware' than most people, which describes Vonnegut to a T.
>DUDE LMAO NOTING LE HURT XDDDD

>stealing from libraries

>wow, anon, did you read all these books?
>can you tell me something about this author?
>do you really like philosophy this much?

no woman ever after seeing my flat.
and that's the reason i don't have sex with those woman. they come in, ignoring my bookshelf and posters of philosophers and just want to have sex, but i always feel like i would exchange gold with copper. it's actually pretty much like socrates saying to alcibiades, being naked in one bed together, that it's not about the body , but about the soul of someone. is philosophy the reason why i feel an urge to block those women? Do you have similar experiences?

TL;DR i think i am not able to fuck women that don't value my interests and are indeed very stupid but good looking

Short stories are a an inferior medium, prove me wrong.

You're making this unnecessarily complicated. So here's a retarded example you can grasp.

>Original language. Literal.
Blue sky is. Green tree is.
>Rough Translation
The sky is blue. The tree is green.
>Pope translation
The sky is blue, and the tree is a green hue.

The "Pope" translation takes liberties to make it rhyme.

>the language is too out-dated for a modern reader.

Alas, poor /lit/. Where be your patricians now?

I've written drunk a few times and it works, sort of. I can get more done in less time, but I hate drinking and I always feel too sick to write the next day. Plus, I can only do it when I'm fully drunk, which makes my inability to hold liquor a time-saver. People who drink without getting drunk are such plebs.

The teacher gave out a list of books, you horrendous faggot. Get a grip.

>hurr durr why do I have to be realistic in my goals and not just fight capitalism like they do in my animes
Kill yourself commie faggot, some of us are trying to fix problems while you spam maymays on /leftypol/. Social democracy not edgy enough for you?

I'm currently reading 'The Aeneid' and I can barely pay attention unless I carefully read each line out loud. I like it, but something about the way the verse sits on the page makes it impossible to concentrate on. Is there any hope for my future poetry appreciation?

>philosophers having a go at dimensions

to physicists this really is like watching a toddler stack two legos and pretend he's some ground-breaking engineer

>posting Facebook-tier memes made by angry plebians

Is it just me, or are lowercase typers usually passive-aggressive SJWs outside of 4chan?

>read The New Yorker
>suddenly feel dull and upper-middle class
How did these goons land Nabokov, again?
