How I image everyone on lit

things used to be better.

Sure, there was only like 3 authors that anyone every talked about in depth (DFW, Pynchon, Dosto) but at least people actually discussed literature. The shitposting has lost all reference to reading, it seems as though people here don't even bother.

Political threads, philosophical threads that don't directly pertain to a book, and discussion of pundits must be banned. We need a serious clean up, but is there any hope?

No, of course. I'm not saying she was crazy or even just not normal (I maybe overstated that). My point was only that she represents the female experience at its worst, which makes her a poor example of the everywoman, which feminists tend to put her as. I'm sure she was a fascinating person to have a beer with ... intelligent lonely people tend to be like that.

>That image hit a bit too close home. There were times when I found myself yelling at myself out loud "what is wrong with me?". Sometimes in depressed resignation or sometimes in angry frustration. I ask myself this question all the time.
