/lit/ - Literature

Where are all these noobs coming from? Go back to playing videogames and watching anime and leave us alone. So many people are so insecure about being a brainlet. Go apply yourself to a skill instead, literature will bring you nothing by emptiness.

I've noticed that a lot of people, regardless of their lifestyle, cling very tightly to their Catholic label, and that many of these same people attach some other ideology to their Catholicism, so that they identify as "Trad-Catholic" or "Trans-Catholic" or "Catholic-communist". Further, the most important aspects of their Catholicism consist of scoffing at Protestants or reading philosophy which is tangentially related to Catholicism.

I said good authors anon. You just listed (besides shakespeare, who we know nothing about, despite you listing him, I listed him for satire) a bunch of medium rate genre writers. Uh, please take your normie list and throw it in fire.

Prose style is fucking overrated. If you read for prose you are a pretentious dumb faggot that can't discern literary devices on a grander scale, and you have no idea how much skill good writers actually have in making books compelling. Anybody can spend a few years on mastering purple prosey horseshit, but they won't know dick about how to detail a scene properly, how to write dialogue that doesn't suck, how to imply things about the story without implicitly stating them, etc.

You are the same fedora lords that watch criterion films for just their cinematography.
