/lit/ - Literature

"... and some would argue the best storytellers, very little of [x] 's stories were "original" -and indeed, even Shakespeare could be regarded as a literary thief if originality is the basis for our appraisal. In fact, this is one of the largest misconceptions of the creative process- a misconception usually asserted by those ignorant of the process. Artists take from what the know and what they've seen and combine them in new ways, and it is this unique sum of influences that gives us creative variation when they are combined with the particularities of the artist."

Do you agree?

What are you doing this fine Easter afternoon?

>first paragraph of your favorite book.

so i went to Books-A-Million the other day and i realized that in terms of selection, they were kicking Barns-and-Noble's ass. their fantasy section was like, 4 rows long, they had a great selection of technology and graphic design books, more audiobooks, a gigantic rack of magazines that covers pretty much the whole back of the store, hell even their christian section was bigger. and huge bins of marked down books. i found stuff there that i have never seen as barnes and noble.

so where do you shop besides second hand book stores? what else would you suggest /lit/ ?
