/lit/ - Literature

/lit/

/lit/

"THIS PLACE" DOES NOT HAVE THE PSEUDODEEP AND EDGY CIRCLE JERK THAT A FORUM IS MORE LIKELY TO HAVE.

I've been searching for this too, OP, as well as maybe some literature-related IRC channels. Sites like LibraryThing and Goodreads have some good discussion groups for specific subjects, with Goodreads being a little more active and LibraryThing being a bit more focused. Other than those, I haven't had any luck.

YOUR POSTING ON IT DUH

Well, Gaia Online has a semi-active Books forum. It's mostly young adult discussion (which is appropriate given the demographics there), but you get some good literature discussions occasionally.

Sorry, I don't associate with people who watch anime.

>>1319381
I don't think everyone there watches anime (and the Books forum and Manga forums are seperate). But it definitely is a younger user base, so it's probably not what you're looking for.

>>1319381

>>1319384
YEAH, NO.

>>1319381
I watch animes and by posting on this board you are associating with me. What now nigger

>>1319385
4chan is primarily an anime discussion forum.

>>1319385
What are you saying no to? You're on 4chan, and the banners on 4chan are anime-related. That's pretty much all the chart is saying, and both things are true.

>watches anime
>thinks using the word nigger is funny
>not very bright, probably likes linkin park, sci-fi and fantasy

>>1319389
>thinks using the word nigger is funny

Actually I just hate blacks

>>1319388

Banners don't represent the general population of 4chan THAT much. It's not a weeaboo special interest site or something, it's a place where underage people of all backgrounds gather to express their hatred of black people.

>>1319392
4chan was created for discussions of japanese cartoons and comics.

>>1319396
FACEBOOK WAS CREATED SOLELY FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, LOOK AT THE USER BASE OF IT NOW.

HERP

>>1319400
No facebook was originally created for Harvard you fucking faggot

>>1319401
HARVARD IS A UNIVERSITY?

>>1319404
YEAH BUT IT WASNT CREATED FOR ALL UNIS FAG GO SUCK A COCK 4CHAN IS FOR OTAKUS ONLY

4chan was created by 14-year-old Something Awful forums member and anime fan Moot with his mom's credit card to mimic Japanese image board ( a discussion board that primarily focuses around posting images) 2chan

>>1319400
Capsguy, the point is not that everyone on 4chan right now is a weeaboo, the point is that the website came about by weeaboo means. Meaning that if you enjoy the website, you shouldn't be so full of hate for anime, as you wouldn't have /lit/ without it.

>>1319412
AS LONG AS THE ANIME FAGGOTS DON'T PUT THEIR SHIT HERE IN /LIT/, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THEM

>>1319422
You should probably find a different place to discuss literature.

>>1319422
Well, every time I post about Japanese literature I get told to go back to /a/, which doesn't even make sense. Hopefully you aren't one of those people.

>>1319422

>>1319425
BECAUSE A BOARD DEDICATED TO LITERATURE IS A BAD PLACE TO DISCUSS IT, RIGHT?

>>1319426
THERE'S PLENTY OF LOVE FOR DAZAI, MISHIMA, AND EVEN MURAKAMI HERE...

I remember the first few days of /lit/ when people thought it was OK to talk about young adult Japanese novels here lol

>>1319431
I DON'T REMEMBER THIS, I REMEMBER PEOPLE WHO TRIED TO DISCUSS THEM GETTING A LOT OF SHIT.

>>1319432
Yeah, and I'm the one who gave them shit faggot

>>1319433
NAH MAN, IT WAS MORE THAN ONE PERSON GIVING THEM SHIT.

>>1319429
Plenty for Murakami, yeah. But for general Japanese lit threads, the first dozen or so responses are some variance of "go back to /a/", "die weeaboo", or just "kill yourself."

I have yet to make one successfully without it derailing into that :(

>>1319436
OP here this is why Im looking for a real literature community know of any?

>>1319438
I suggested a couple here >>1319376

But those are really book cataloging sites that just have pretty alright forums. You should definitely check out LibraryThing though, if you want less trolling.

Wow this thread is so good.
