Now please, Mother needs her beauty rest. How else am I to pay for your college if I cant attract daddies??

Daily reminder that there are people on this board who UNIRONICALLY read their books in pdf format over epub.

I just finished the Belgariad series.
I actually thought the Inheritance cycle was better even though Paolini copied plot lines

Is The Mallorean series worth reading as a follow up?
Or any suggestions for epic-ish fiction novels along the lines of The Belgariad or Inheritance?

I can vouch for this, though I started as a waiter. Before that I was shy as shit and thought talking to strangers meant bothering people.

I'm still useless in 1v1 with women I find attractive however. I don't know how to fucking flirt at all.

So I was writing a paper and I caught myself doing something I often do: I would rewrite sentences to have one more or less syllable, or ends on a high or low inflection, so that it flows better or something. When I proof others' papers, they always seem to flow poorly to me, and I asked my friend if he pays attention to syllables or word inflection and he said he had never heard of doing that.

Is this a thing, or am I weird and doing some sort of mental gymnastics when I write? PS this post is not written in the way I'm talking about

What's the rule for using "who" and "whom"?

Hooit, Gamat, kappit, kappiteit!

Spoeg in die lug en sing, jong, sing
Want die lewe is ‘n bitter ding.

Threads like these make me wish I had an e-reader

Has anyone on /lit/ ever been published?
If so, tell me your journey. How long did you work on your writing? How difficult was it to find a willing publisher?

Hey /lit/, is there a word for the expression that basically says "You're kidding, right?"

If not, I say we invent it.
