/lit/ - Literature

Thank you all for your answers. I hope my question wasn't too jarring, as I admit it really looked like bait. One could well indeed interpret as "OLD GOOD, NEW BAD", but it really wasn't. I try to look for good fantasy authors as I think the genre can express a lot of things some others can't, conveying ideas and concept with this sort of magical, mythological and poetic way of expression by portraying them as monsters, artefacts or other fantastical creatures.
I've been trying to write for a while, and I don't want to make just some distasteful rendition of a DnD campaign, but a tale of fantasy that.. You know, makes sense? Something that actually expresses something. There isn't an elf or a dragon here because it's cool (well it kind of is) but because there's a reason for them to be here, metaphorically speaking. And I think this Mythopoeia is the term I've been looking for. Building a world like it's an old myth, in a seemingly ancient, historical and poetic style. I'll look for all the authors you've mentionned, maybe besides the ones I already know of.
Once again, thank you. Fortune be on ye.

>five pages
why say she "buttchugged infinite jest" and not "buttchugged five pages of infinite jest" then? if you replace the word buttchugged with read, then everyone would call you a pseud "look at me I read five pages of infinite jest". she didn't buttchug all of infinite jest like she didn't read all of infinite jest. so not only did she get filtered but her ass got filtered too. what a stupid bitch.

just ask people to define the words they use. if some mentions the patriarchy, just ask them to define it or give examples. if they say the patriarchy is 'systematic' then ask them to define what systematic means and to give empirical examples. most people literally cannot defend their beliefs after just a few questions that force them to provide meat to their argument. my mum's political knowledge is 100% just from what she sees on facebook and has no conclusions of her own and probably couldn't properly defend her beliefs if questioned.

Never mind the idiots, they are a bunch of 13 year olds: it is Sunday and they aren't in school today.
Try Magick in Theory and Practice by A.Crowley for a useful overview. For a condensed and dumbed down and left wing version of his ideas try Liber Null & Psychonaut by Peter Carroll.

You can bring 10 books with you to a desert island what do you bring (fiction only)?

>measuring an immaterial thing
The cartesian bias of the measurability of every thing in the world ruins the pretention of the author by making it impossible.
False ground = false conclusion.

>"Oh, you know, I only trust what I see"
>can't see the act of seeing
How can materialism recover ?

>"Oh, you know, I only trust what I see"
>can't see the act of seeing
Materialism btfo

>"you know... I only trust what I see, teheheh"
>but you can't see the act of seeing
>therefore you cannot trust what you see

Materialism status : self-refuted.

>"Oh, you know, I only trust what I see"

>So reality is created
All reality is not created. God is uncreated.
>for god to exist first he must be conscious, consciousness of what?
Himself.
>there would be no substance for his mind to be inside, and nothing to know, nothing to observe, nothing to shape.
To be conscious first is to be conscious of your conscience. Conscience does not by essence need an external object to be exerced upon. Reflexivity is needed.
