/lit/ - Literature

Could 1984 be considered a book that supports objectivism? The book is mainly about the inversion of truth/reality.

I always end up writing anything in the worst possible way. It's not so much about using big, obscure or technical terms as it is about never coming to the point. After several edits, I can 'skim' 80% of it and bring down to two lines what I first didn't quite say in a few paragraphs.

I want brevity and clarity as a way of writing. How do I nurture this?

>Inb4 'Write/read more' is not enough. Also, not being clear makes me feel it affects how others see me.
*Btw, it's taken me 16 minutes to complete this post, 13 of which I've just been re-writing.

>"Listen. The more men you've had, the more I love you. Do you understand that?"
>pg. 158, Orwell, Nineteen Eighty Four

Was George Orwell a cuck?

Emojis and internet acronyms are literally newspeak.
I can't help but notice that the internet is getting dumber and dumber, and if I had to pin point a cause, I'd say memes along with acronyms that help reduce the attention span to 5 seconds.

Do you think you and your favourite character would get on if you went for a beer together?

And then......... HE LOVES HIM! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Rather than picking and choosing books does anyone on /lit/ read the complete works of one author before moving onto another?

“That’s it mister! You just lost your brain priviliges!”

>there are people here actually praising Stalin
Orwell would be fucking ashamed of you, you're betraying everything intellectualism, reading and freedom stand for.

I always see people say that Goldstein's book is the most boring part of 1984. That always confused me, to me it's one of the more fascinating parts. What are your thoughts?

That's actually pretty sad dude.

I, for one, promise to do my part by forcing /lit/ approved youth-core on my future children and their spawn.

Would you ever/Do you use a pen name?

If not, why not?
