/lit/ - Literature

I feel an intense alienation from our culture and I do not think I am alone. It feels as if noone is guiding the ship now, and we are all living in the past, or separate pasts. There is no dignity in the present day, and very few people seem content with it. We live other lives it seems, we are divided people, and everybody knows it, and everybody sees it in one another, and nobody acknowledges it, this substance of the present day, and everybody looks away from it. How is this any way to live? Ignoring what sits directly before us? I hate myself. My life as a story told is ugly and pathetic. And I don't know anyone who feels any difference. To tell of our lives today is to tell of shame.

Unless it's always been this way.

should one read Infinity Jest in a language other than english?
