/lit/ - Literature

A good book, film, album is more pleasurable and satisfying than sex. Stop falling for the temptation of flesh and enrich your soul.

Is this the bi-weekly movie based recommendation thread? What's the kino eauivalent of this?

>>17757898
Philosophy is useless for 99% of people, at least with fiction you could be that one cool guy who recommends stuff to people. No one is impressed because you understand kant, but people will love you for recommending good fiction.

Consuming art is the best anyone could hope to do in this world, now go watch pic related now!

Videogames are not art and will never be , the lowest, least productive hobby a man can have, they are legos but unfortunately more socially acceptable.


Watch a film, read a book, faggot.

I like to believe that I can speak english at a pretty much native level and yet I still prefer to read English literature translated, because my mother tongue speaks more directly to me, and no matter how good my English gets, my mother tongue will always be closer to me.
I am pretty sure my english is better than the second language of most anglo bilinguals, and the people complaining about translations are just posing or trying to flex their language skills.

I do watch foreign films and anime with english subtitles though, if that means anything.

Cinema/anime >>> Novels >>>> Managa


Manga is literally the worst of both worlds, uncapable of achieveing the full potential of either literature or cinema , a poor hybrid desu.


Read a book or watch a film faggot, stop "reading" Chinese comic books, you're not a kid anymore.

Reminder that all knowelege is lame, the hulan experience is all that metters, art is all that matters.
Watch movies, read novels, ignore technical knoweledge.

The best threads on /lit/ are those discussing cinema.

What do you get from literature fiction that you can't get from films in a prettier more compact package?

Is it okay if i watch movies instead?

Ok sorry, i just wanted to discuss ABSD.

books for this feel? A slice of life Bildungsroman that gives you a strong feeling of catharsis afyer its finished.

Is cinema inferior to Literature?

>1984
okay classic but the themes are no longer shcocking since they are part of normal popular culture now
>3 Body Problem
Garbage soulless chink genre fiction that's worse than most anime
>Kafka on the shore
100 pages in, fairly decent but i am not mesmerised.

What's some /lit/ approved cinema?

pic related is the single greatest bildungsroman ever put on screen.

How can literature even compete ?
