/lit/ - Literature

Could you guys please recommend me books that will teach me how to be detached or spiritually detached?
By which I mean a mental state that is no longer disturbed by events of this world, or that's the best I can understand regarding detachment. A mind that is always like calm water, never disturbed, always calm and serene, ideally but of course one might not reach that ideal but getting close to it must be better than not going in that direction.

How're your Light Novels coming along, /lit/? Two days have passed, and the deadline is Sunday.

Oh, myself? About a chapter in, and shit is getting wild. I love how media is currently so saturated with deconstructions and parodies, that to write something earnestly serves as a deconstruction of the deconstruction.

The catch is, it also loses that (false) sense of maturity that ironic detachment lends a story.


For all who are new to this thread, we've basically started a little group of people writing LN's as fast as possible. The goal is to get done with a succinct Light Novel by this Sunday, and share it with your /lit/ bros. Feel free to join in, since there's still quite a bit of time left. Happy writing!
