pic related, it's what she looked like, only she was prettier and less slutty.

>reading in public

>>1631208
I luv it when people say "prettier and less slutty".
I always think of Morgan freeman.

>>1631206
I can't think of anything more cliche than reading Naked Lunch in a jazz bar. Wait, were you wearing a beret by any chance?

>jazz bar
>quiet drink

>>1631231
>hipsters everywhere

"score some heroin"
huehuehue that's baby talk.

>Well, let's get this straight. I never really wanted to read Naked Lunch in the first place, but it was an assigned reading for my class. There was no choice and I got home from school, plopped down on the couch, and started reading. I never got past the first page. Even now, I can't remember any of the first few sentences or anything about the book. Now, it is two weeks post-assignment and I still haven't even read the back cover of the book. I lost it a while ago, but there is a paper due tomorrow. So, I Googled Naked Lunch, and just clicked the "Feeling Lucky?" button. It directed me to a 4chan page where some guy was telling this story about a book and a girl, but as soon as I started to read it, I started to feel like my brain was being pierced with thousands of tiny nails starting from the insides of my eyeballs and piercing outwards. Computer bursts into flames. I roam the streets looking to score some heroin but because my eyes are bleeding I can't find any. I give up and die in the street.

>jazz bar
Fucking queer.

>>1631206
OP gets what OP deserves.

i love this thread

>>1631209
What's the point in reading if you cannot show everybody how cool and intellectual are you?

you should upload a file with all your greentexts somewhere so the public could read EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

you know?

>>1631231
>>1631231
no please don't be silly
i was wearing my black skinny jeans, my nice shoes with a black t-shirt and a black blazr although i folded the cuffs back to reveal and nacy striped pattern on white fabric.

i looked fly motherfuckers.

>>1631238
>>1631238
saging a literature thread Deep&Edgy? i expected better.

>>1631242
>>1631242
tl;dr

>>1631249
>>1631249
that's just unkind.

>>1631263
>>1631263
i have a copy of them all on file because they are so popular and i may be releasing them in the future, maybe in a few months time when i have a book published or something i don't know yet

thanks for your support however

>>1631242
I liked OP's story better. Keep trying.

I preferred the Tesco Sandwich period of these fictions. I feel the later work has last its way and that the introduction of frankly ridiculous jazz clubs and bars serves to undermine the whole edifice brownhole has striven to create.

1/10 for this one, because the girlpic is a big of a dog.

"im smarter than a girl" - brownbare, 2011

>>1631206
I saw Naked Lunch and started reading the greentext instinctively. About half way through I realized it was you. Beautiful prose, as always, BB.

BB's absurd stories are just a way to stimulate conversation about literature, you shouldn't take them so seriously.

Anyway, I loved Naked Lunch, I like how it attacked the death penalty. Have you seen the film yet? Is it any good?

>>1631300
See it, that's one of my favourite movies ever.
>>1631294
lulz

>>1631300
>>1631300
apparently it's not actually the novel, it's the making of the novel kinda thing.
yeah the death penalty line in the intro was pretty good, i really enjoyed the parts inbetween the twio doctor parts. the one with the sailor sticks in my mind the most

semi-factual

>>1631297
>>1631297
you are one of my new favourite people and i hope you know this.

>>1631300
>>1631300

It's pretty neat. It's the bare bones of the book, but it's spliced with elements of Burroughs' life.

It's pretty good, you should watch it.

>>1631300

Well I know it's rated R, and that Nelson found two things wrong with the title.

it's like i'm hanging out with lame english majors all over again

thanks for the college memories brownbore

>>1631310
>>1631310
i'm gonna download it, hopefully it'll be alright

>goto a jazz bar for a quiet drink
>read a book
>at this monent i begin to heammorage internally and excuse myself to the bathroom

See, I know you're just trolling, but you're still getting me going.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you, sir.

>goto a jazz bar for a quiet drink
>as i'm there reading Naked Lunch a girl sits next to me and says the book cover looks interesting what am i reading
>i feel awkward and shift away
>she laughs and said she woke up this morning feeling like a black American rapper or something??? i didn't really get it
>she says she loved Naked Lunch
>i become depersonalized and stare eyes twich
>oh you know i loved it, like how he just like wrote it and stuff and like how it's like a heroin addicts diary and like stuff? you know?
>i feign social consciousness and tell her i like the linear narrative split between the disjointed sections
>she says she doesn't know what linear is
>i have an aneurysm
>

So, how is Naked Lunch?

I found On the road to be the biggest disappointment since... I have no idea when, so I don't think I'll read any more beat stuff in a while.

>didn't read the 50th anniversary version
ahahahaha casual
>>1631402
It's nothing like anything Kerouac has ever written.

>>1631412
That's pretty much what I was hoping for. And atleast Burroughs wasn't portrayed as an unlikeable cunt like Ginsberg seemed to be.

I guess Naked Lunch goes at the top of the beat pile then, not that I have any idea of when I'll get there, but still.

>>1631421
As much as Kerouac tried to paint Cassidy as a cool guy, it was pretty obvious he wasn't. At all.
All the guys Kerouac ragged on only seemed raise themselves in my eyes whilst reading On the Road.

>>1631430
Bit of a pointless post this, but I couldn't agree more.

>>1631460
I assumed at this point we were just making small talk regarding the beats

>>1631468
Ah, I meant that my response was a bit pointless. I blame the fact that it's half past three in the morning over here.

>>1631472
Ahh, don't worry about it. If you're ever in Edmonton I'll totally buy you a beer.

>>1631206
BB confirmed for mugwump

>>1631231
and if he was wearing a beret, add smoking a Gitanes

>>1631477
EDMONTON?!?!?!?!?
sup

>smile politely and tell her i loved the non-linear style, ask her what she thought of it, combined with the 'cut-up' sections
This is where I give up. Naked Lunch was not a cut-up. That was later. You know nothing.

>>1631797
Oh shit
I may actually have to buy someone a beer for once

Naked Lunch, hands down, is my favorite book.
Also, I think, probably one of the most misunderstood.

Usually, even on this board it seems, it just gets written off as mindless smut written for pure shock-value.

Its one of my two favorite books to keep in the bathroom, since you can pretty much pick it up, flip to a random page... and read from anywhere. The non-linear style of his is pure genius.

The other book I keep in my bathroom? The Complete Works of Charles Forte

I LOVE HOW BB LIVES HIS LIFE THROUGH THE STORIES HE COMES UP WITH THAT HE POSTS ON /LIT/.

>>1631805
He made an inductive leap and jumped a bit too far. Its easy to see how he could do that, considering the way Naked Lunch is written.

>>1631821
I only have to be mean because I am obsessed with that old boy-loving centipede faggot.

Dude why do you make these posts all the time? It just sounds really conceited of you because it is always about turning down a girl due to her book tastes. That itself is a bit conceited.

>>1631850
Jesus dude, you know none of this is real right? All these are troll threads, and hilarious ones too. They're all basically "Personal stories about how I was reading, got hit on by some hot girl, and turned her down because she's not elite enough; gee, I don't understand this, anyone let's talk about the book I was holding." They're really well done.

>>1631850

Personally, I find BB obnoxious, but I cant really find the energy to get upset about his green-text threads. They are obvious trolls though.

>one time I was reading in public
>someone was dumb enough to take the bait and engage me
>I crushed them under the weight of my mighty intellect
>I posted about it here and someone was dumb enough to take the bait
>so I crushed them under the weight of my mighty intellect
>fear me and my brain cock

>>1631859
0/10

>>1631869
No, dude! You're missing the part that makes it brilliant! The person who comes up to him is always a hot girl, and she nearly always hits on him and offers to suck his cock or whatever. And then he always acts baffled and crushes her intellectually while ignoring the comeon. So it combines the intellectual superiority stuff with "I could get pussy all the time if I wanted it losers" and stuff like that. And the bewildered attitude is the twist that makes it perfect because he's NOT boasting or bragging or insulting us he's just presenting it as is and then moving on to book discussion like some innocent naif. Like I say it's well done.

>>1631879
I suppose there is a little bit of finesse to his trolling, especially since virtually none of these threads actually result in book discussion.

Usually it ends up either being tripfag vs anon, or tripfag circle jerk.

fell asleep last night pretty early.
bumping this now and i will reply properly later on in the day i think

eh, so so. tbth, burroughs kinda sucks.

>>1632179
shut the fuck up

"The Job" a book that is just interviews with Burroughs is very interesting. I'm more interested in his thoughts than in his writing style. Check it out if you haven't already.
Also "the third mind" written with Brion Gysin.

I love 'prettier and less slutty'. I'm sure that the women who want to sleep with you are more fantastical than fantasy. I'm sure that is true.

Your story is bullshit.

You're a faggot.

Fuck you.

Every Brownbore thread is a troll.

You all niggas got trolled. Hard.

>cruise down to the watering hole with my copy of 'Independent People'
>a girl with pretty impressive plumage comes up and asks me what I'm reading

>>1632224
you should check again the meaning of "trolling"

>>1632240

"n Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion."

Her de der de derrrr-urr-urrrrp! That's what he's doing! Wow!

>>1632240
Confirmed for a total fucking moron.

>>1632243
>so what do you all think of Naked Lunch?
>it's one of my fav's though i haven't read it in a while
>Naked Lunch general
>pic related it's the book cover i owned

These are all from >>1631206

These are all completely on-topic and the people calling troll are just upset because they can't understand the novel.

>>1632248
Nice dropped trip.

>>1632249

Nice >implications

>>1632246
>>1632243
>inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages
>desired emotional response
>disrupting normal on-topic discussion

>so what do you all think of Naked Lunch?
Yep. Exactly. Did you feel butthurt about the jazz bar story? Mayne you think that was a bad joke. But if you think anyone can take it seriously you're stupid. That was a short story posted on a literature board OH WAIT! TROOOLL!
Also...I don't think I was trolled for posting here (talking about Burroughs) Thje funny part is when fucktards ignore the topic and start the "tripfagsruningmahboard" shit lol

that was my favourite section of the book, the part with the sailor i mean.
i wish i was a mugwump ;_;

>>1631815
>>1631815
it's one of my favourites too, one of these days i need to read it starting at any page and just flicking back and forth i think

>>1632236
>>1632236
i don't think this really happened did it 3rd?

>>1632249
>>1632249
i am not a man-child, i take responsiblilty for my posts and don't need to cower behind the façade of 'anonymous' to hide my failings.

real men use tripcodes and take responsibility for the things they post.

so no sir, i did not drop trip. sometimes people agree with each other, i think you need to understand this.

>>1632276
>don't need to cower behind the façade of 'anonymous'
>because I cower behind the façade of a tripcode
If you're a real man use your real name and post your facebook account and address.
Tripcodes are used for attentionwhoring purposes only.

>>1632278
>>1632278
using an identifiable name and tripcode is taking more responsibility than posting as anonymous.

you're a retard for thinking otherwise

>>1632278

>Implying BB is a real man and not an androgynous metrosexual.

>>1632280
You're still anonymous because you can say whatever you want and get away with it, your false bravery doesn't impress me. You still don't take responsibility for nothing. I don't need a tripcode to feed my ego and I don't need to take responsibility online.

>>1632282
>>1632282
>you're still anonymous
>still anonymous
>anonymous

but if i'm still anonymous why do you hate me because of my tripcode?

>>1632286
I don't hate you and I don't give a fuck about tripcodes. My point was that you're not heroic for using a pseudonym, post your real info I've you're so brave. You're anonymous, I don't know who you are. You can change your name whenever you want. This board's purpose is literature discussion, not responsibility for anything or gaining popularity. Fuck subjectivity, we're just instincts...

>>1632276

heaven forfend we should post irresponsibly on 4chan

>>1632290
>>1632290
>i don't give a fuck about tripcodes

yet in your prior post:
>I don't need a tripcode to feed my ego

you seem confused about where you stand

>>1632292
I don't need a tripcode to feed my ego because I don't give a fuck about tripcodes.

Do you want a picture to help you understand?

>>1632295
>>1632295
if you didn't give a fuck you would not acknowledge them in your posts bro

someone needs to kill this thread

>>1632315
if you didn't give a fuck about Twilight you would not acknowledge it

>>1632319
>cause ignorance=indifference

>>1632295
>>1632295
>i don't need an ego to feed my ego
this implies that you think i use my tripcode to feed my ego, an action which you take as a negative thing.
As you associate these two things it can be decuded that you do give a fuck about tripcodes, you have a bias against them and what can only be described as fundamentally flawed reasoning for disliking them.
I deduce that you do, as a matter of fact, give a fuck about tripcodes, hence your on going contribution to this debate

okay i lol'd
also fucking SAVED

>>1632339
wat
I was just trying to say that using a tripcode doesn't make you a brave and responsible faggot. I don't fucking care about your shitty tripcodes and your bullshit. I was just pointing that you're cowering under a tripcode as others cower behind anonymity. I see now that you just don't want to understand. "Flawed reasoning"... lol

>>1632371

>>1632400
That's not the point and you know it. But fuck it. This is like talking to a wall. Hope you enjoyed someone giving you attention, even if it was just to help you understand that sometimes you say stupidities.

>she just keeps chewing and trying to speak, her eyes have a glassy look and the trimmings from the eraser are just getting everywhere

Made me laugh. The bit about the glassy look, and adding the word 'just' make it great.

Still, I don't think this happened.

Adapted from The Tassajara Recipe Book, by Edward Espe Brown (Shambhala, 2000).

These tender biscuits are lovely with just about any soup or stew you care to name. With their hint of sage and the ease of their preparation, Sage Biscuits make a welcome addition to any autumn or winter meal.

You don’t even need a biscuit-cutter to make them! Get the easy directions and get ready for warm, meltingly-good biscuits, with or without butter:

INGREDIENTS

2 cups unbleached flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup oil or butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup fresh sage, minced

1. Preheat oven to 475F. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, and place in mixing bowl. Combine oil, egg, milk, and sage in a separate bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ones. Combine with a fork, just until mixed.

2. Cover a baking sheet with parchment or grease it lightly. Spoon dough onto baking sheet or roll out on a lightly floured countertop and cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter or floured glass.

3. Bake 8 to 12 minutes on top rack of even, until the bottoms are nicely browned.

Makes 12 modest-sized biscuits.

This part that he quotes seems so fucking familiar. I've read it somewhere. Where?!

He used it, or something similar, in another story. Such as these stories are.

I hated these at first, but they are getting funnier.

Well, this thread went to shit.
Was it really going to do anything else?

You know, I don't have a problem with tripfags necessarily, but I strongly resent the implication that they're somehow more mature than anon because they have a pseudonym. Until one of them balls up and posts personal info on the board for all to see, they're just as anon as anon.

... but given how obnoxious some of them are, that would also be pretty stupid.

We're tripfriends, not tripfags.

I'm still trying to get on a picture of tripfriends. That's my life goal now.

brownbear sounds gayer than me guys

also he's pretty fat

like 200 lbs +

ProtipL Theyre trolling.

Seriously look at this shit.

No human being honestly posts/acts like this.

Its all trolling. And off topic trolling at that.

They should have all been permabanned a long time ago.

actually you're a tripfag

stag makes the rules around here

so don't bitch to me about it

the amount of tripcodes in /lit/ is alot higher than th other boards

thanks mate

Brownturd, you are trolling /lit/. Just why? What is wrong with your fucking brain? You could go to any other fucking 4chan board for this. Why here? No one wants to read your bullshit. Please take a break from posting.

Shit, the first time i fell for one of these brownbear threads, but upon reading a second brownbear thread. Some respect was gained.

I don't know why, but it's respect.

how do you faggots not find BrownBear's green text absolutely hilarious? It's just a joke, I don't see what the problem is.

Sage is a uterine stimulant, so it should be avoided in therapeutic doses during pregnancy. It is safe to use in cooking however. It may also decrease milk production so nursing mothers be aware of that. Gargling or swishing the tea without swallowing should not lead to this effect.

>>1633155
maybe bb is a little bit mentally handicapped, but I wouldn't call his OP trolling (that was said like over 9000 posts above). That's a Burroughs thread with a little joke to make it more interesting, that's all. There's no need to feel so butthurt.
