/lit/ - Literature

Theoretically, it's fine. But ask yourself: Does a modern university have much to tell me? The answer is no. If you haven't realized, we live in an intellectual dark age for the Humanities. All the intelligent young guys are studying STEM, so there's no real genuine talent right now in Lit departments. What's more, 20th century lit crit was a disaster for the academies and you will be fed extremely mundane theories like Death of the Author and it will be passed off as "education". Most lit people at colleges are like BookTok chicks or art hoes, the "well read" ones will be marxists or pomo theorists. Finding someone beyond that? Good luck. Maybe one of your professors.

Obviously, studying lit is a great idea. But studying lit in 2023, at a modern university, when this is the age of STEM? When all government resources and the whole job market, and all bright minds are pouring into STEM? When literature departments are filled with the dregs? No, that's not such a good idea.

What? Why?

This book is not for Takers

Hey boys. Ive finished the Hobbit and wanna get into more Tolkien now. Have both the Silmarilion and all three volumes of LOTR. Btw i havent seen the films in about a decade and dont know anything about the Silmarilion other than that it is the backstory of the Middle Earth etc, so im going in either of them kinda blind. Which of the two do you guys recommend that i should begin with?

Is this the new capybara thread?

I've started to get into writing lately, and by far second-person is the PoV I'm most comfortable using. But it seems to be pretty controversial compared to first or third. What do you think about it? Can it work outside of short stories and choose-your-own-adventure?

I wrote that because of the pandemic lockdown i've been mastrubating more than normal.
And that I don't know anymore if it is out of boredom or being horny that I do it.

Can I get book recommendations on the subject of writing poetry?
Where do I start?

What I'm getting from all this is that "G/ACC" is some kind of (totally ironic[but not really]) pseudo-intellectual death cult of a bunch of porn addicts trying to convince themselves that their autogynephilia/fetishes are actually a grand movement in evolution. Am I getting this right?

>Yes, I started with the Mesopotamians

I don't listen to any. I prefer complete silence.

Now we can read.

What's the most you've ever read in one sitting?

Write something profound.
