/lit/ - Literature

/out/ said you bros could recommend books for me.

I really like hard sci-fi such as Andromeda Strain and Timeline by Michael Crichton as well as military based novels such as Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy.

I'm going on a 7 day trip at the end of this week and need a good book for when I'm relaxing at camp.

you're thinking of the trope called "fridgehorror"

here are some ideas, anon:

>1, a child's brain was transplanted into a dog's body and raised as a pet without telling the child that it was an animal so the child grew up as a dog without realizing it until later

>2, a child is actually an adult who had his memories erased and regressed mentally into a child mental age. the reason they forcefully erased his memories is that it's the new death penalty. society has decided that instead of kill criminals, they will kill all memories of the criminal instead. so no one will remember him or even what he wrote because they track all your online philosophical posts and erase the memories of anyone who read your posts so that your ideas die. and it turned out he was a philosopher with groundbreaking ideas but someone framed him so that his ideas would be automatically deleted from the public consciousness. how all that erased history is found out to the reader is your problem.

>3, a child realizes he's been a child for too long. it turns out the government tests all children and if they are at risk of realizing concepts that are bad for society, they will forcefully prevent that child from developing to adulthood and will suspend his development at 12yo forever. It takes the child a long time to realize something's weird because he's still a kid and the only thing he has going for him is that if he were allowed to develop to adulthood he would be a top thinker.

>4, a reverse isekai, where a hero from a magical world transmigrates into this mundane world and his memories are blurry so he might or might not be crazy

I fucking hate this. Is getting a gf a crapshoot or not. Everyone has conflicting expirences and I can't tell who's being cynical and who's being honest.

Only when I've been hungover, I don't know if it's tinnitus or dehydration meaning more neuronal crosstalk, but I will hear murrmured rock music or classical music that isn't there - I can even make out the prosody of the lyrics but not individual words.

Unlikely, I'm a heavily visual learner. I need to see everything either in the form of colour coded diagrams or like looping GIFs in order to understand them. And yet I've always been a very verbal-linguistic person too, always been known as a "wordy guy". However when I try to listen to or speak in a language other than English I have to imagine the words printed out like from a typewriter on thick white paper before I understand/can say them.
Even writing thesse sentences now I am very clearly seeing a tree-branch diagram to describe the 'colour coded diagrams', I'm very clearly seeing the stiffness of the last frame on a grey iamgeless but looping gif which has the dithering artefacting.
And yet my internal monologue is a very clear distinct voice that won't shut the fuckity fuck up.
