/lit/ - Literature

Just quote Sancho Panza when he speaks about Don Quixote. Your lady-friend will appreciate it.

I've recently been unfortunate enough to be hit with a damp spot of black mould/mildew/whatever you'd like to call it in my house, and to my misfortune it was right beside my book collection. Not all of my books were affected but some were hit worse than others.

I was told there's no need to get rid of the books but I worry that it might spread. What's the best way of dealing with this if I can't afford to replace them? Has anyone else had to deal with this?

> go to bookstore
> ask the qt girl at the counter where the classics are
> "sorry, any old books we have go straight to the library or ebay. People pay dumb money for old books"
> I ask if she meant classics like War and Peace and Dracula or if she meant book editions that were showing signs of age
> "well if you bought old books who would buy any of the new ones? what would be the point of putting out the new ones?"
> see the shelves
> realise it's nothing but boxsets for the Hunger Games movies, Star Wars novelisations, colouring books for "mindfulness" and how to draw manga guides
> gain an erection
> i ask "a-are you f-free tonight?"
> "huh? what was that?"
> she looks down at my erection, isn't impressed by the size (it begins to pop out from under my shorts)
> she screams and smacks the tip of it as if to scold a bad doggy
> makes me cum, it dribbles down my leg
> ask her if she'll marry me
> she throws up and farts
> Roundabout by Yes plays on the in-store speakers
> a Japanese class of school girls comes in with their phones ready to take pictures, i'm not prepared
> I'm so anxious and when that happens I need to poop but there's very little places to go so I try running around the shelves
> begin to fart out racial slurs
> can't stop
> she screams "get out, i can still see you!" so i try ducking but it doesn't work
> try finding my wallet in my waist coat pocket but the pockets are so deep
> my chin gets itchy havent shaved since August
> throw money at the cashier, a quarter hits her eye
> I begin crying
> kneel down and pray hoping for forgiveness
> Mr Takanura screams at me and asks why I didn't turn up for math class

mom's gonna flip

> someone at the same school as you
> they recognise that you post on 4chan
> now whenever they meet you, in public, they spout 4chan memes like Pepe, kek, dubs, and "you just got meme'd" all the time

>tfw yet another rejection letter

Is /lit/ dead guys? These insufferable faggots and (literally) children are getting away with a HP thread.

Actually... sorry, anons. I'm drunk and angry at the world. Forgive me for my shitposting/trolling. I don't mean it. You're all lovely fuckers. Am sorry for that all; please forgive me and my debauchery.

> younger brother is adamant that he will make a career out of writing
> he tells me all his friends think his writing is good
> I say I want to support him as I'm interested in writing too and that I'll read some of his work
> he sends me it by e-mail, I open it
> it's full of typos, mixed tenses, over-use of hyphens and semi-colons, especially when they're not appropriate, the vocabulary is mostly monosyllabic and he doesn't seem to realise what standard punctuation is
> he doesn't think he needs to improve
> he refuses to ask for tips or look to further his writing experience or education outside of just sitting in his room for a few hours
> he tells me I just read his fourth draft
> most of it reads like i'm-so-dark-and-edgy-look-at-me blog posting
> he rarely actually reads and has only read a handful of Lovecraft short stories and YA fiction
> his favourite book is Eragon
> he's 19 years old

Is he too far gone?
