/lit/ - Literature

What does /lit/ think of ___________?

I read half of the book and have yet to pick it up.

The book tells you the structure of the heroes journey, and that's it. You can read the Wikipedia article on it and come away with the same amount of information. Then the rest of the book is just jam packed with excerpts from various myths and fairy tales.

>tracking down the most basic and primitive theme

Do you even know what a "theme" is?

You don't need this book to be a great writer. Unless you want to write a heroes journey literally by the book, you don't need it at all.

>/lit/ is the only place on 4chan where there is a small core of people actually looking forward to rational discussion.

The most popular threads on /lit/ are personality surveys.
