/lit/ - Literature

Ok.

To ask if something as broad as literature or philosophy changed me in a practical and observable way is just to pose a question that doesn't make sense to me. It is not observable because I can't get outside of it to look. Because they made me who I am, along with all else, parts of my life. For as long as I act and think, I'll carry them with me. There is no before literature in my life, so how would you expect me to say how it changed me? What I learned through one fairy tale is more than all that I've got wasting my seconds of life watching a commercial ad on tv or being this masochist that I am to post in this shitty place. A sharp tongue, a cathartic moment, a witty thought, an articulate metaphor, ideas, dreams, thoughts, the pleasure of new questions above all else, it is all not to be lost in the words, but to find myself wandering through new ways of thinking and thus, new ways of living. I pity those who read or do anything for escapism. There is no such thing, you don't escape, you only hide cowardly and for a flash moment. Art is no place to hide, it is a place of exposure of truth, whatever that might be to you, you'll find it. And to think one can escape through it is to pretend, to justify a lack of courage and this lack of courage is the very truth escapist literature exposes. Entertainment is education and vice-versa, and you ought to be aware of this. We have to be prudent with how we use our time, to be sensible to this information we receive. Digest it.

Troll.

Lol, it's funny because that wasn't what the guy ment at all. You just understood it the wrong way no wonder he insisted so much on that. It got to the point when you became mad and had to call him names to make your point

Un Hecho

Hechos. Hechos. Hechos.
Hay que hablar de los hechos.
1+1 = 2
I todavía crees en un dios?

El hecho
que yo y tu
fuimos hechos
en la imagen de un dios,
no se significa que él hecho
fue hecho por un señor?

This is some pseudo-scientific bullshit right here.

Even employers believe and hire parasitic 'graphologists' to examine the handwriting of applicants.

There is not a shred of truth in any of it.

Go on /lit/ first two things I see are Stephen King and Chuck Palahniuk. Life's good.

Looking for the title on a book. About two factions fighting in a winter world.

Called Winters...something.

Three books in the trilogy, fairly recent.

Much appreciated.
