/lit/ - Literature

I have 70 ideas for works set in the same universe. Am I doing it wrong? I bet I'm doing it wrong.

>he wasn't reading dozens of books a year during his PRIME DEVELOPMENT YEARS of 8 to 18
>he wasn't educated at an expensive private school
>he didn't go to Oxbridge or the ivy league or top 5 liberal arts college for undergrad (or a top 1 college for other countries)

Guess who's not making it this summer?

>implying postcolonialism is as illegitimate as gender studies

Okay /lit/
I'm just visiting because I want something good, I prefer fantasy but I can definitely do sci-fi,
I haven't read any of the recommended reads, but which one should I go for?
Something that I could really learn to like

>Appears to be a DNS lookup failure. Using the ip address (82.221.106.113) directly works for me.
You're welcome.

It is so ridiculously hard for me to not skim read. I have nearly completed an English degree without properly reading. I feel like a fraud. Any tips or similar experiences?

How the fuck does this ever make sense to anyone

lol rekt

And if you seriously think REI would drop trip just to samefag a response then you are clearly too new to know how devoted he is to the creative act that is his autism.

He actually serves as a rather nice bellwether to weed out the posters who are too new to be posting on this board. All the posters who rage at him and tell him to post "like a normal person" are too shit to be here.

>I actually feel as if DFW was smarter than Proust.

These summerfriends really need to leave now.

When a new reader fails it's blood in the water. You really think that only one person would take the time to shit on you?

I'll take the time as well. You can't even get your movements right and you think you're in a position to demand "contributions" to your shit thread?

Fuck off, kid. You're too pleb to have an opinion here.

No seriously go back to /mu/.

And take your adolescent posturing chart bullshit with you.

mfw this whole board sincerely believes they're tortured geniuses

And here we see some more of the prototypical members of our younger generation who've made an idol of empiricism.

Hopefully one day you'll grow enough intellectually to understand that empiricism isn't the only path to understanding.

Until then enjoy being super epic reddit maymays.

>so please stop building a reddit-browser highschool-reader straw man

Hard not to when you quip laughably trite schoolyard shit like "1984 was right."

It's the equivalent of posting a picture of 'The Catcher in the Rye' while saying "You're all phonies".

If you don't lurk Reddit then perhaps you should start, because you're honestly too basic for this board.

Apparently I write like Stephanie Meyer

:'(

As I glided past those hills,
they rolled alongside me,
and I saw flaky wood,
shooting up from below.

I drifted on to the grey, industrial, smoked town,
with the vein running through it,
where the water did flow,
and powered the iron hand,
of soft linen makers and water wheels.

They still continued the tradtion,
of the ancients of the past.
Rome's Tiber,
Byzantion's Bosphorus,
and Alexandria's Nile.

And as I lowered down,
I was met by granite houses where as a child,
I clacked my fingers across the mountainous surface of brick'd houses,
and watched the cheap plastic rainbow fumed hula-hoops,
sway and devour the motion of swinging.

This city knew many troubles,
black woolen masks,
and bad moustaches,
and long, greasy hair.

Yet, this hangover of empire,
this city of flags,
still manages the chorus,
of the Londonderry Air.

Posted this yesterday. Thoughts?
