/lit/ - Literature

On a scale of 1-10, how physically attractive do you need to be to get published? Does being independently wealthy lower that number, and if so by how much?

Holy shit, I remember that episode. Only time I was disappointed with the writers of The Sopranos. Here they write this six season drama which touches concepts of morality and philosophy, yet nobody on the set can properly pronounce Nietzsche (neecher.) Made me sad and seriously question the credibility of the writers and merit of the series, it's such a little thing but I don't know. I get your reference though.

does The Doors of Perception count?

Huxley wrote it to be dystopian, this is well documented. OP's definition of dystopian is the on disputable thing here.

This guy was pretty handsome.

What kind of literature would one be expected to have read if applying to a university course in English?

Sub Question: How many books do you manage to get through over a period of, say, a month?

Hey /lit/

I have a question for you all..

I'm writing an essay on Brave New World, and am considering choosing to analyze the topic of pros and cons of Huxley's 'utopia' with parallels to contemporary and ancient history.

Is this an acceptable essay topic ?

I have this feeling that, from what I read an essay has to argue or prove something, that it wouldn't be acceptable for an essay and is more so a summation piece or something.

The topic is really interesting to me and would indulge in putting a lot of effort into it.. but the thought of talking about themes or characters bores me..

Or if you have any thesis ideas for Brave New World, I'd welcome them.

What say you ?

Who else would LOVE to live in the world of Brave New World? Even if you aren't an Alpha Plus it seems like the perfect utopia.

I am thoroughly enjoying Point Counter Point. Please tell me how stupid Huxley was, that book is, and I am for liking it. I need this.

Please help me /lit/

Where do you get free ebooks?

Why is /lit/ so much harder to troll than other boards?

Is point counterpoint any good? How do you feel about Huxley in general? I met a girl who was reading it and I want to know how smart I should assume she is or if she is just hipster trash.

I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.
– Aldous Huxley
