/lit/ - Literature

If you've really been away for a whole year you missed the Golden Age of Waldunism.

>>19591373
post one (1) book

>>19591382
ok.
Hunger games.

>>19591373
Well looks like you forgot to witness the KINO that was F Gardner

>>some norwegian nihilist fucking everywhere
there's two of them

>>19591410
I didn't. But I didn't see him on the front page.

>>19591373
You forgot rooneyposting.

>>19591373
>"waah I don't like this and this and this and that
>doesn't mention the catholic trannies shitting up half of the /lit/ catalog
Fuck off

>>19591485
Didn’t notice it on the front page. I wasn’t gonna read every single one.

>>19591373
Because there's nothing new being released, other than e-celeb shit like Gardner, Mike, or Waldun. They're literally all the new content we have to talk about lol. Best we can hope for is for stuff to get translations

Where did you go for a year?

>>19591633
Uni, worked for some months.
But I also don’t like this site anymore in any way so it’s easy to not visit.

>>19591635
You're right. A huge waste of time. No different to scroll facebook or twitter, really. I haven't visited either. Just here today because I'm ill and bored.

>>19591373
ok, litranny

>>19591650
>you’re a tranny if you post ghibli fan art instead of a reddit wojak on an anime site

>>19591418
Zapffe's a really old meme though. OP would remember the endless last Messiah threads if he was oldfag enough to be asking kids to get off his /lit/

>>19591373
>some norwegian nihilist fucking everywhere
how to spot a newfag, Zapffe has been posted a lot before

>>19592572
never saw him in like the 4 years I was here before leaving

>>19591373
OP here:3 I'm trans if that helps -w-

>>19591373
You forgot
>"Books about hating women?"
>"Books to reinforce my shallow political convictions?"
>"I can only read 5 pages before I get bored, how do I get smarter?"

>>19591373
>>some norwegian nihilist fucking everywhere
He was a mild /lit/ meme along Ligotti already. Stop lying that you're were a regular
Feel free fuck off again

Do you really want to go back to the Nietzsche fedora tipping era?

>>19591373
The longer you stay the more appeal you will find in the wayward gem of a thread that occurs here every blue moon. This is because reading through garbage conditions you anon.

>>19592671
If we have a time machine, we should go back to the Philippa Foot high octane trolley days.

>>19591373
>you just know

>>19591373
i do wish that /lit/‘s culture was a bit more fluid/changing
used to always have a flavor-of-the-month along with the omnipresent shit (everyone was always reading joyce and pynchon and wallace but sometimes you’d get arabs or whitehead or ellul)
now it’s basically the same few subcultures always around
almost feels like people are more self-aware of what group they’re in and consciously identify with it

>>19591373
im surprised youre surprised

>>19591373
>>18-19 year old narcissists, still
Hey, I was one of those last year but as soon as I turned 20 I felt my self-esteem plummet. I suppose everyone who thinks themselves a bit precocious does but no-one warned me about it.
Also:
>people who leave for X months/years, come back and make a low-effort thread about how nothing has changed but describe it in a way that is actually really unrepresentative and superficial, still

>>19592849
It used to be dreadfully slow and so full of pretentious assholes that the only thing that was allowed to exist were book clubs reading the hot, the new, and the undiscovered. Terra incognita as far as /lit/ is concerned was fair ground, someone had to find out exactly how shitty it was.

>>19591373
So some pleb takes a vacation to reddit for a year and comes back with a whole new contempt for good literature? Colour me surprised. You should go back.

>>19591373
/pol/ tard bad

>>19591373
/lit/ is a horrible board that has no value whatsoever. You have a better chance at discussion literature on /a/ of all places.

>>19592984
No you don’t, you /a/utistic f/a/g. Stop trying to excuse your pathetic board for children’s cartoons.

>>19591373
As far as I can gather, this board is nothing more than a containment board for "enlightened" faggots that get a dopamine rush whenever an author circle-jerks with the reader.
>this paragraph has some deep meaning!
>that book literally changed my life!
>my brain chemicals go into a frenzy whenever some literal-who share the same thoughts as me!
/lit/ is such a fucking joke at this point. I actually have to go to different boards to actually discuss and reads books. Any person who denies it at this point are just being delusional of the situation.

>>19592984
/lit/ is utter shit but I have to admit that I still browse it because once in a while a good book get recommended. Every discussion about philosophy or society however is a fireworks of retarded screeching, for that reason I wish these threads would get more consistently deleted

>>19592849
I think the problem is that those who have more interesting things to say tends to be quieter and not start threads. I feel like if you really want to change the board culture you should go ahead and make thread regularly about whatever you want to see more of

Remember when /lit/ used to actually talk about Joyce?


No you don't. They all left 10 years ago.

>>19591373
We also now have /qa/tards since their board was locked, which means a higher-than-average amount of low effort posts

>>19593142
Hey, at least mods delete their threads quickly.
