i dunno if you're trolling or not but that what everyone says and it is extremely rare that that is the case. actually, in my experience it has been never the case with the younger crowd.

>>1038017
No. I'm neither a smug hipster, nor do I go to community college. You're no Sherlock Holmes, that's for sure.

There are two sexes: male and female. One's sex is defined by the genitals; if one has a penis, one's sex is defined as male; a vagina, female. Genders are roles which (I'm not trying to sound like an angry liberalfag, but I am a liberalfag) society expects people to conform to based upon their sex.

Personally, I accept that gender roles exist but I don't accept that they are or should be inherently linked with biological sexes; however, I just want you to know that "Transgendered" is not a sex.

Type of people you're interested in: Those who do not easily fall into archetypes and stereotypes. Having similar interests by default helps.

>>1038981
It's kind of a difficult question to answer really. From my own personal experience, I found GEoD to be compelling commentary on human nature, governmental structure, history, religion, culture, genetics, drugs, prophecy, fate, and pretty much anything and everthing else. I have read it three times now, currently working on my fourth, and am always surprised at the subtext of what Leto is basically saying throughout the novel, and the ways it's shifted my paradigm of my world view. That's the super short version....

I read Infinite Jest this summer and immediately had to start re-reading it, I was so enthralled. I think I was drawn in mostly by the detail and depth he put into every aspect of the story, but most importantly in how he was able to slowly reveal monumentally important minutia subtly and over the course of the entire novel such that your understanding of each character was radically shifted each time you entered their world. On top of that, I loved his being able to put you literally inside each of these characters' heads etc etc.

I think the only reason I throw them together in retrospect is mostly because of the way Herbert and Wallace are able to pack so much depth and meaning into their writing without coming out and just telling you what they think, they leave clues and use allegory extensively to as they say in the Matrix "I can only show you the door, you're the one who has to walk through it" (or something like that). Depth, subtlety, imagination, believable fantasy, breadth of relevance, ability to make me think and rethink issues over and over.

>>1039149
>I read Infinite Jest this summer and immediately had to start re-reading it

Everybody else too. It's the best joke of any book ever written.

>>1039149
that was an erudite reply. thanks for the time you spent on it, and i'll be reading it as soon as im done with Julian Comstock/the library gets it in. if the author can write with multi layered depth like herbert did in some of his best works, i definitely need to spend some time on his body of work.

oh, and to anyone who cares, im tossing one of my AIMs out thar:

pa22john

going to bed after a smoke or two, but knowing /lit/ this thread will still be around.

btw, does anyone remember what the 1kk GET was?

>>1039164
I admit that on a first read-through of any book, I tend to give it less than the necessary attention, I'm mostly interested in the overarching story. This allows me to determine if I think it's worth rereading to glean anything else I missed while having the shape of the whole idea in my mind and giving me a deeper insight into those details' roles in the story. I've been forced to read too many shallow and boring books throughout my public education, and being only a few years out of it and fairly inexperienced, it's probably an ineffective system, but it has it benefits as well.

I'm also plagued by trying to always find any deeper meaning on my first read-through and torture myself-it's making my first attempt @ War and Peace pretty painful since all of the courting and social behavior, while richly detailed, is leaving no clues as to how it's relevant to the plot.

>implying rimbaud was a twink
FFFUUUUUUUU
he ran guns in africa for fucks sake. he walked, WALKED, to belgium. He disordered his senses. Twinks are little bitches who only care about their looks and listen to lady fucking gaga. Rimbaud was a man.

>>1038269 - Hey there, Where in Cali?
>>1037903 - Wind Up is a let down, don't bother.

http://hubpages.com/hub/Top-10-Novels-Ive-Read

>>1041111
Bitch, please. Not all twinks are vain, some are well read and can hold conversation. Rimbaud has the look, but not the actions of a twink, so .. I agree with that.

>>1041119
nah, a ''twink'' is vain by definition. a person with the look of a twink but not the actions, is just an emotionally mature young man. god fuck that ''twink'' shit. i'm bi, but i access gay culture at will, and to be honest the age limit for ''twink'' keeps going down and have you heard of ''twunk''? twunks mean you're 20 or older. this shit is borderline pederasty. Anyway, show me a twink who reads and i'll eat my hat.

>>1041121
Yes, You`re right. If only all people had the ability to think like fourteenyearolds.

>>1041131
You just mad because my intellect is far greater than yours when you were 14.

You may complain that there aren't many females in this thread, but barely any of them were even replied to.

;_;

>>1041146
wasnt complaining... just taking notice.

also, none of the femanons were remotely near me.

I have a twink friend who reads. He even went to school for criminal justice. He's incredibly vain and annoying, but he's pretty smart -- even if he doesn't list that as a desirable attribute for himself.

>>1041153
>went to school for criminal justice
grrrreaaat another fag cop. and yeah, that's pretty much it. if a twink is smart, he will hide this fact like his life depends on it. ''lol y do ppl still read'? fuck that shit.

>>1041162

Not a fag cop. Nice conclusion to jump to!

Why is androgyny so hip with the kids now days? Is it because of all the dickless skinny man children and feminism?

>>1042133
Yeah, I know what you mean. It's like, here comes Dick, he's wearing a skirt. Here comes Jane, she's sporting a chain. Same hair, revolution. Same build, evolution. Tomorrow, who's going to fuss?

Not like it was even 25 years ago. God damn Internet, which is entirely to blame for this.

>>1041630
You're beautiful like a girl. I would date you regardless of whether or not we had sex. Hell, I'm a lesbo, so that would probably work out pretty well. You're just so damn gorgeous...
