ffs you are SUCH a /lit/ lurker.

JUST ADD 1984, BRAVE NEW WORLD, AND ANIMAL FARM AND WE'RE SET!

>>1139029
Your caps really do make my head hurt. You're right that it's only you being PERCEIVED as angry but either way it ends up being unpleasant and stressful to read.

I don't give a fuck about conformity, grammatology may be your bible for all I care, but when how you type stresses people out or has an overall angry tone it isn't a good thing. It's an extremely bad thing.

I feel like I have to stay out of your threads now, or I'll just get stressed out, so . . . good bye.

>>1140151
mmhmm Guilty as charged. All I ever used to read was fantasy. Before that it was sci-fi. Before that it was military/war.

I seem to go through phases. :)

Last three: Candide
The Old Man and The Sea
Brave New World

Current: Utopia

Next: Notes From Underground
Lolita
Infinite Jest

>>1140156
CAPITAL LETTERS MAKES YOUR HEAD HURT AND STRESSES YOU OUT?

YOU POOR GUY

>>1140160
You think I'm the only one?
Look at how you're received - primarily with anger. You're creating that anger and that stress because you're taking something that we all love (the written word) and making it an angry thing.

Don't pretend you don't know what you're doing either.

>>1140162
WHY DON'T YOU JUST IGNORE THE STIMULUS THAT IS CAUSING THIS AFFLICTION?

THOSE THAT AREN'T AFFECTED WON'T HAVE A PROBLEM, AND YOU WON'T EITHER.

YOU THINK WHEN SOMEONE'S SMOKING A CIGARETTE, I HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY TO THEM: "HEY, YOU FAGGOT! STOP GIVING ME CANCER WITH THAT SECOND-HAND SMOKE, I DON'T AGREE WITH WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND IT'S HARMING ME. WHINE WHINE WHINE"?

>>1140165
I guess you missed all the new laws being passed to limit how often second hand smoke is experienced by non-smokers.

Ignore the fact that all caps remind me of yelling? That'd be quite a trick.

BTW you're a fool if you think you're standing up for anything worthwhile. Even if this is your attempt at individuality, it fails. You're a moron and continue to show everyone this each time you post the way you do. I realise you don't care what we think but that further serves the picture we're painting of you and strengthens what we think of you. You'll stroke yourself and assure yourself that you're entitled to type however you damn-well please -- and you're right -- but the reality is you're a fucking idiot taking a stance and insisting "I'm allowed to be a fucking moron". Good luck with that.

>>1138978

I see this picture all the time. What is it from?

Last 3: Peter Camenzind (Hesse), Notes of a Dirty Old Man (Bukowski), The Silent Cry (Oe)

Now: Fathers and Sons (Turgenev)

Next: All Souls' Day (Nooteboom), We (Zamyatin), Terra Amata (Le Clezio)

>>1140170
NO, I DIDN'T MISS THOSE LAWS, BUT THERE'S STILL, I DON'T KNOW, 99+% OF THE GLOBE WHERE PEOPLE CAN STILL SMOKE IN THE PRESENCE OF OTHERS.

NO.

NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU WHINE, I'M NOT GOING TO STOP. I TRY TO KEEP ON-TOPIC AND ENCOURAGE DISCUSSION ON LITERATURE, BUT IT'S WHEN PEOPLE BEGIN TO WHINE THAT I AM MOST OFF-TOPIC.

SO YEAH, ENJOY FUCKING YOURSELF OVER WITH THAT ONE.
