/lit/ - Literature

i literally have a folder titled "stacks of books" thanks this'll go good

neat stuff OP

You should do Gene Wolfe and Ursula Le Guin for Science Fantasy. Terry Brooks is a bit of a controversial author due to his books being mainly platforms for Ayn Rand libertarianism. Poorly written/imagined too.

I had a dream last night wherein I used some sort of machine to bring William Dean Howells to the present so we could hang out. Doesn't even make sense though, because if I was going to bring any American author to the present, it'd be Edward Bellamy, so I could show him what the 21st century is really like. Anyway, which author would lit want to bring to the present and why?

So /lit/, do you want to have a liberal arts type education, holistic, or a more specialized education?

What education would you want the general public to have?.

hey /lit/.

i've been browsing this board for a while, and I realize that maybe I should broaden my range of books that i read, believe me, i do. But is it so wrong that i enjoy A Clockwork Orange? or Lord of the Flies? or 1984? 1984 is my favorite novel, by far. Brave New World is a close second (you see my fascination with dystopian literature influences my favorite books list. Fahrenheit 451 and the Hunger Games are great too). I feel like you would all would call me simple, or simple-minded at least.

I'm sorry I don't read obscure literature, but does it make me a child to be fascinated with these "classics"? Does it automatically make me a freshman in Highschool? You guys can ignore this thread if you want, but I guess i'd like to have an actual conversation about it all. Whatever, your choice.

no one can ever be TOO word

Due to use on 4chan, it will not be soon before the vast majority of people believe, and thus language evolves, such that a demigod is superior to a regular god.

what a colorful turn of phrase

Lots of assumptions. Lots of condescending statements. All vapid and meaningless. OP is a faggot. Why are we still here? This is now a Spiderman thread.

I just googled the title and haven't attempted to confirm this, but...

>Jerzy Kosinski did not write his books alone. His authorship has long since been discredited as fraudulent; all of the writings to which he gave his signature have been dismissed as the trickery of a con artist. Indeed, this very signature preempts any of "Kosinski's books" from being taken seriously. What Kosinski once fobbed off as his own creation is now surrounded by an embarrassed silence. One smirks bemusedly at these works as the artifacts of an interesting life.

>What is one to make of the fact, then, that Steps, a novel that bears Kosinski's name and yet was not composed in his own language, is one of the most intensely powerful novels of the twentieth century?
