Yeah...seems like there'd already be an anime/manga like this.

Audiobooks and the spoken word are a vastly more effective mode of communication than books and essays.

Dearest friend,
Count the hours, those fickle things, and take notice of how your days are spent. Us young men are blessed with potential, the old coziers are right to say as much. However we are cursed just as much by our wandering temperament, dancing about a litany of pursuits. Glory to that young man who can reign his passions, glory to him now and forever! See now, dearest, the wonderousness of focus and temperance. Yet, despair, despair at the daunting prospect that even determination is pursued by a plague. Her name, that which i shudder to utter, is obsession. Yes! Name and shame her my friend! Obsession and insolence are two sides of a dastardly condition of wasted hours, days and weeks which yield only regret as the cows come calling home. This is the ailment I fret is manifesting within you. To write, and being able to do so, is a divine gift. Your aptitude for the word is both admirable and enviable. And yet, my most prized companion, please suffer not the temptation of immersing oneself wholly in one's craft. It shall be your ruin. Grasp the hoe, haul the earth, and find the pleasure in rendering from the bosom of our apathetic mother the fruits of her bosom. It shall serve you, not just as sustenance, but also as an anchor for your psyche, chaining you not to the filth but to yourself. I love you.


Your most loyal and loving friend,
Anon

First off, no one on /lit/ is gonna like this since you seem to be disregarding the whole craft of literature.

That isn't to say you're wrong. You obviously have some kind of vision or ear for how you want your piece to sound. But I would recommend not sending /lit/ "early drafts" of "experimental" fiction like this. Subconsciously I think you want us to pat you on the back lol.

Read some Faulkner or other high modernist work, expand your literary toolbox, and then send us a more finished product.

Come on fags

I bought a book from Amazon and when it was delivered, a few page corners are bent and there's some shelf-wear on the cover.

Is it worth returning it? Or am I just being weird about it? It's causing me stress worrying about it.

>tfw you have a long day and you just wanna relax on lit and blow some plebs the fuck out
>tfw they resort to ad hominem and simple posts like "fuck you faggot" or just don't respond at all

It boggles my mind that there are people who think they are fighting for equality who also believe that woman can't make their own decisions regarding sex.

Work is a necessary evil to be avoided.

Mark Twain.

I'm lying to this day to my parents that I finished Uni and got a law degree.

Is it just us or are all boards filled with pics of Robin Williams today?
Just watched Good Morning, Vietnam. Damn, he was good.

And another day I spent on /lit/ instead of actually reading. What about you?
