/lit/ - Literature

Thoughts ?

>tfw you will never be eternally remembered as a brilliant philosopher after writing your own fanfic retelling of the New Testament
Why even bother?

Harold Bloom was right, this is unreadable. What he's saying is so "you know what I mean, bro?" And every sentence sounds very complex, but everything can be summarized in "religion is meaningless bro, become your own master". I feel like I have indigestion when I read this book.

i domt have an opinion ion this book, because i havemt read it..

What are the chances of this being seen as a holy book after an apocalypse?

This is the most pretentious and over-dramatic book I have ever read. How is it taken seriously?

Hey, /lit/, I'm new here. I recently decided to cut out video games from my life and I want to replace it with reading. I deeply enjoy philosophy books and want to indulge in multiple different works not only for enjoyment but also in the hopes that I can become more knowledgeable. However, one of the problems I have when I read is that my mind drifts. Too often I'll read and a song will be stuck in my head and it'll take me out of the novel. Or I'll think about something else I could do. Basically, it's difficult to focus, is there any way to remedy this or will reading more make this easier?

Thanks, also any recommended books? I want to read pic related.

Here you go... Kid.....

Which others of Nietzsche's work do I have to read before getting into this?

I just finished reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra. What do you make of this masterpiece?

Hey /lit/, a girl I sit next to and chat with in class told me I should read this book. I kinda like her, but all I really know about her is that she likes horses.

I'm not sure what to do, should I just go ahead and read it?

what about this one

>Minding my own business walking home from uni
>Suddenly out of nowhere comes this girl riding a horse
>Doesn't say anything
>Just hands me this book and rides off

What the fuck /lit/? Should I read it? What am I in for?

Is it worth it to read Thus Spake Tharathustra if I already read Beyond Good and Evil? I heard that it is basically the same material, but in a strange allegorical format. I'm interested in Nietzsche's ideas most of all, over his aesthetics, and don't want to spend my time on TSZ if I already understand the concepts within it.
