>Don Quixote is comfortably the most boring to read of the classics

>They discuss fashionable left-wing theorists so that they can name-check who they've read in their personal circles
> And yet, despite taking care to be fashionable, several of them seem to honestly hate jazz, per a recent thread
>Indeed, they like what they shouldn't when they care to be fashionable, and they don't like what they should, when they stop caring about the above (even nazis and other right-wing types sometimes have a grudging appreciation of jazz)
>They discuss "literature", which literally, L I T E R A L L Y encompasses a wide variety of texts, including the engaging nonfiction genres of the art book, the newspaper, history, journalism, clickbait, true crime, biography (when you care about the person, tedious otherwise) and technical manuals
>And yet, they NEVER discuss any nonfiction, except the speculative non/fiction bridging genre of philosophy
>Indeed, attempts to start threads about anything other than prose fiction, poetry, or canon-accepted theory/philosophy are met with general lack of interest at best, and derailing "muh autism" at worst

Did you never read a good history? Or a technical guide that was just-plain so useful that you would recommend it to others?

Did you never plunk down a great big art book on your table, and find an interesting paragraph next to a plate?

> Snyder will have none of it. His condemnation of the partisans is total. “Partisan warfare,” he writes, “was (and is) illegal, since it undermines the convention of uniformed armies directing violence against each other rather than against surrounding populations.” The effect of partisan warfare, therefore, was to exacerbate conditions in Belarus and other areas by subjecting locals to an “escalation of both German and Soviet violence.”

I was so disgusted that I left the bus much before my stop. I told her I'd see her on /lit/ later, but she pretended not to know what that was.

I think we're going too far with these jokes. Meme books are taken more and more seriously every year. What should we do about this? We just have to be more serious about this shit. We may lose our favorite memes, but it's worth it to save the state of literature nowadays.

My sweet little whorish Nora I did as you told me, you dirty little girl, and pulled myself off twice when I read your letter. I am delighted to see that you do like being fucked arseways. Yes, now I can remember that night when I fucked you for so long backwards. It was the dirtiest fucking I ever gave you, darling. My prick was stuck in you for hours, fucking in and out under your upturned rump. I felt your fat sweaty buttocks under my belly and saw your flushed face and mad eyes. At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue came bursting out through your lips and if a gave you a bigger stronger fuck than usual, fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora's fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also.
