> the list goes on

Now I'm SURE I won't like you.

No, this is not your dating site.

This is how the decay of /r9k/ started. I can't let this happen again.

>>1014328
I would like to talk to you, trust me im not a creeper. But if you post your aim anyone can get it.

Whoa, we have like the same tastes.

>>1014363

What a loser!

Why not.

19/US
Favorite Book: Pale Fire
Currently Reading: Parrot and Olivier in America

I like literature, but tea and art history are my real passions. I'm also up for music/film discussion, and I read plays from time to time, too. (I wish I could get out to actually watch them more.)

Will post e-mail if asked.

>>1014363
Shut the fuck up about that special snowflake thing. Jesus fucking christ you 15 year old european fuck, go watch fight club and masturbate to child porn you fucking fuck fuck

Special snowflake....I cringe everytime i hear that retarded cliche.

>>1014380
You sound much more mature than he does, don't worry.

>>1014380

I am dissapointed, /lit/. Truly dissapointed.

18 male
Ive read almost everything
Its hard to find a girl to talk to about serious matters such as books. I know lots of girls, and even have close friendships with some, but they are all only semi-literate. If you are just interested in talking about books and each other in general, my email is manningk92759@aim.com and I have aim and msn.

>>1014391
10/10 I laughed so hard.

>Myself:
20 years old, male, living in an exotic land, far far away. I am a journalist and published author of smut. I wear a hat.
>Favorite books/things to read:
BOOKS: House of Leaves (inb4 haet), Watership Down, Mole People: Life Under The Tunnels Of New York, The Epic of Gilgamesh.
THINGS: Brochures, street signs, posters and Facebook profiles.
>What I am currently reading/interested in:
I've got a ton of books I bought but haven't read/finished. Right now, I'm on 2666 by Roberto Bolano. I also have Comrades In Miami by Jose Latour. I'm desperately trying to find my copy of If On A Winter's Night A Traveler by Italo Calvino. I lost it but I really, really want it back.

i used to work at a place called tealuxe, so i know a little about it, but really i never became passionate about it(maybe i missed something?). anyway this is me >>1014339

>>1014399
that book mole people is all lies but if you liked it read a book called ''grand central winter'' written by one of the supposed mole people

>>1014374
>Yeah, what a surprise, she listed every author that's popular on this website.

It's because she doesn't actually read for herself. She most likely came to /lit/, studied what was popular and probably read some sparknotes about them.
All to get some attention at least somewhere. Sad, if you think about it.

>>1014380
No sir, you are the 15 year old fuck, desperate enough to post your loser comments here

and then erupt in raeg

Erupted in RAGE

>vanishing impotence

Jesus christ, if people want to have a hook up thread, let them. Who fucking cares? You faggots complaining about it are far more annoying than someone wanting to chat with another human that may have similar interests.

>>1014410

Or maybe it's because she's only 19 and is starting with the basis?

Anyways, I'm that guy >>1014338

Still looking for a correspondance, male or female, I truly don't care.

How I'd like to proceed: we talk about what we read, why we liked it, the thoughts we had, etc. and the other gives its point of view on the first thoughts, so we ''progress'' together.

>>1014409
Thanks for the suggestion! Sounds like I'd like that a lot.

Oh, and yeah, I know Mole People is a crock of shit. There are plenty of holes in that story. Loved Toth's storytelling, though.

>>1014410

dawwww did someone's girlfriend dump their ass? or did mommy never pay enough attention to you? because clearly misogyny really helps attract the ladies.

Anybody want to talk about IJ with me?

>>1014399
I'm not gonna email you but you sound like an alright dude. I'd like more details about the published smut.

>>1014424
IJ?

The reality of this is that the thinks that most girls are fools, and so he wishes to meet this girl (Probably with hopes of marriage or dating) because he has never experienced a woman with good taste in literature.

But it will never happen because he is socially inept, and despite all the reading he may (or may not) do, he is intellectually boring, and has no ideas of his own.

Captcha: Flying Polanski.

Everyone in this thread should shove a dynamite up their anus, fuck you people, also PHILIP ROTH IS OVERRATED.

>>1014424
Dear god. I could rant on and on how it was an infinite waste of time if you really want me to.

Why not go to the lit tinychat and discuss books there?

>>1014423
After you're done calling him a misogynist how about calling him pretentious, ignorant, and a hipster? It'd complete the thread.

>>1014429
My erotica has been published in compilation volumes worldwide. I brand my real name on them so I won't hawk them on 4chan, though. ;X

But the bulk of my smut is private commission work for gentlemen and ladies who seek customized stories tailored for their turn-ons.

>>1014442
I just laughed so hard. What the fuck is that?

Hookup thread.
Someone states the forum is not for that.
He's called a loser.
He retaliates.
People join up on the arguement.
Forum becomes /r9k/.

So please, no hookup threads.

>>1014445
It's just how I laugh...

Way to make me feel bad, man.

THIS IS NOT A SOCIAL NETWORKING BOARD GO BACK TO GODDAMN /R9K/ YOU STUPID FAGGOTS

>>1014449
It's a springboard to future success, hopefully. I mean, the more published work you have, the better, at least in my opinion.

I just happen to write about HARD, THROBBING PENISES entering QUIVERING, VELVET VAGINAS instead of serious themes like DIASPORA.

>>1014456
No I thought it was the most fantastic thing I've read all day.

>>1014419
>>1014338

So?

>>1014432
yep, that pretty much sums me up, except I'm not interested in meeting the girl. She just asked if anyone wanted to talk to her. And I replied I would. Besides that, this was almost a spot on description of me. Good Job, my friend.

>>1014450
Roth isn't even better than Jelinek, so no, he does not deserve a nobel even though the mainstream propaganda machine are slander the prize because of it.

>>1014465
oh you~

way to backtrack, you desperate virgin

Et j'espère que tu aimes ta lecture du Voyage au bout de la nuit, c'est un livre absolument génial, peut-être même mon préféré.

Pourquoi pas... Et si par hasard on se connait d'une quelconque manière, ça fera un malaise intéressant.

He's not the one reading it.

I'm still at the very first pages, I can't tell if I enjoy it yet.

Bon bah : jussprrds@hotmail.com

Et pour le malaise, pas sûr qu'il ait lieu, je t'en voudrais seulement de ne pas avoir partagé ta passion avec moi auparavant, les seules personnes avec qui je parle de temps à autre de littérature sont mes profs de Cegep et mon père / mon oncle. C'est chiant à la longue.

Bref, j'attends ton e-mail.

>favorite books: all the books I've ever read

-18, Female, I write and occasionally play Warcraft.
- Ray Bradbury is my favorite author; I've read almost everything he's written. Steinbeck comes in second, by a hair. Genre-wise, I like sci-fi in general, as well as poetry and all types of literature. I used to be bigger on fantasy.
- Right now I'm reading The Two Towers, and I've started Demian by Herman Hesse. I haven't had a lot of gumption to read lately, but I'm hoping that will change this weekend! I also like talking about music (anything but country) and theatre (musical and non). Movies and the vidya are fine too.

Polite sage for delicious, entertaining cancer.

Myself: 22, male
Favorite books/things to read: Fantasy, historical fiction. Sadly I only really started reading this past year and until recently stuck heavily to fantasy.
