/lit/ - Literature

I've decided that I'm going to write a novel. I'm thinking thriller, but I'm open to suggestions.

Give me some ideas; I don't care how insane they sound, I might try doing something "new," even if it doesn't make me a single dime.

Solipsism is one

If we're just talking about bodily agony and not mental agony then I cannot be certain that my mind is connected to my body. My mind might oscillate connections between my body and another body so I never know if my body is in pain or this other person's body is in pain. Also Nietzsche already has shown that Cogito ergo sum is flawed because Descartes should've said "It thinks" rather than "I think" because you are presupposing the existence of a local self. If we're talking about mental agony then I can simply say I'm viewing someone else's agony through a conduit and not my own. I can also deny the presuppositions rationality relies upon to come to conclusions about causal links. I can presuppose retrocausality to say instead of "I am in agony" to say "I was in agony" or "I will be in agony"

What does /lit/ think of absurdism?

Hey /lit/

Can you recommend me some good introductions to absurdism? I've delved in existentialism (particularly Russian - Dostoevsky being my favorite author), but absurdism fascinates me from what I see.

Any good reads for a newbie?

>When you think of Hell, whoever you are, you imagine the Hell Dante invented.

First off, that's just flat out untrue. Most people do not think of Hell as any kind of tiered structure and they certainly couldn't tell you the specific punishments that Dante outlined.

Second, Dante's Hell may not have come from Scripture, but that doesn't mean he invented it. Torturous and gloomy afterlives abound in ancient faiths.
