NOW POST YOURS, AND RECOMMEND TO OTHERS IF YOU WISH.

WHAT ARE YOU READING /LIT/?

BEAUTY AND SADNESS FOR ME, LOVING IT.

HEY LIT

I FINALLY FUCKING FINISHED THE NIGHT LAND. IT WAS AN INTERESTED READ TO SAY THE LEAST, HOWEVER THE REPETITION AND USE OF LANGUAGE FROM THE 1700'S (OR WAS IT 17TH CENTURY?) REALLY BECAME TIRESOME FROM TIME TO TIME.

BUT DON'T LET THAT STOP YOU FROM READING IT. TOO LAZY TO TALK ABOUT IT MORE NOW UNLESS PEOPLE ASK

WHAT SHOULD I READ NOW? I'M AT A LOSS ONCE AGAIN. YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN READING RECENTLY, AND IF YOU DON'T, FIRE AWAY RANDOM RECOMMENDATIONS! FUCK YEAH

THIS IS NOT VIRAL MARKETING

FOR THOSE ON /LIT/ THAT HAVE A GOODREADS ACCOUNT, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD ME.
