For me the most arousing part was when young Humbert tries to fuck his cousin or friend or whoever that was on the beach in France. It's been a while, but doesn't he have trouble getting Lo to do anything more interesting than the missionary position? Doesn't he have to bribe and cajole her all the time? At some point he starts to do something unconventional and then she says "Just what do you think you're doing, mister?!"

If I'm going to have a loli sex slave she's going to do as she's damn well told.

What is the greatest meme that /lit/ ever produced?

What are some viable economic systems that are neither Marxist nor capitalist? Do any exist, or is a mixed economy the way to go?

It's been said before but I think it's the basic reading level. I think also escapism, eg there will be lots of danger and adventure but no one is going to get raped like in Ken Follet novels. I also think there is something compelling about teenage experience, we were all there and know what it feels like and I think some people want to recapture that. Still I can't help but look down on people who read that stuff exclusively but then again I would feel that way about people who only read a single genre. I don't think we should expect too much of people, /lit/ has pretty high standards.

I didn't know Robert Jordan was a pen name. Man died way to young man. As far as I know there's no rule banning discussion, maybe there was already a thread or something. I've seen a good dozen WoT threads although that series has never been as popular as GRR Martin's Game of Thrones stuff. WoT made highschool a lot less gay for me.

Your interest is based around an actor. That's fucking pathetic.

Neo 4chan brainwashing at its finest. You really need that "Right wing" label, don't you.

I see it as a way of passing on the world's problems for those who either don't care, or don't believe themselves to be capable of facing them here and now.

>tfw when you have been following humanism your entire life, but didn't know it until you read about humanism.

>tfw when I created humanism independently.

what are some of the best short stories?

You need a name thats striking, something that already sounds like a famous person, or maybe use a name that no one uses anymore like Adolph.
Something striking, something that rolls off the tongue, something controversial, something that people will say over and over again.

Just finished reading 50 Shades of Grey... Why do I feel like I want to strangle a Bitch!?

Hey /lit/, I want some of your thoughts. I need something to write about that can be arguable/argumentative for my college writing class. What are some topics I can write about?

So you slapped some bullshit together with almost no effort other than to think it up on the spot, but you want us to take a pause from what we enjoy doing to carefully consider it and then craft a response with more than what you put into the work?

The guy asked his prof for some books to "get into" philosophy, and your criticism is that the books mentioned are entry-level?
