/lit/ - Literature

The Bible is the only non fiction book ever written.

i'm glad i found image boards and tradlarp tards online in general otherwise i could have easily become someone like logo daedalus, ugh. there is such a thing as reading too much.

What is 'non-fiction' in your opinion? The fuckin' dictionary?

>>20252393
What the fuck does this mean? You sound like a major fag regardless.

>>20252404
you wouldn't get it

>>20252396
No.

>implying definitions aren't made up, much less words themselves

>>20252384
I've actually been having a bit of a crisis about this. I can't decide if I actually want to invest a lot of time reading history and western philosophy. It interests me, but I'm not sure if will add anything to my life

Get filtered, seethe, dilate

>the ramblings of 20th century philosophers
>books on meme political systems that will never be applied in the real world
>history books which are riddled with inaccuracies at best, but usually straight up lies
>books on "sciences" like economics, psychology, sociology
>biography/travel/adventure book which is only labeled 'non-fiction' because the author prefaced the work with 'just trust me bro, this is how it went down'
Based, what else would you rather anons read?
Pop his/sci garbage? Self help?

>>20252534
That's literally a rambling 20th century philosopher.

>>20252559
If it interests you then why would it not add anything? What's your criteria for "adding something"?

>>20252384
just discovered epistemology

I'm currently reading an anthropology book. It's alright so far, most of what it's said on the book is things you learned at highschool but I'm waiting for the good part to come(if it does).
Why am I telling you this? Because no one in the real world is interested

>>20252384
>Even /sffg/ is aware that they're reading fiction lmao.
No they don’t.

>>20252896
No one on here is either

>>20252384
>history books which are riddled with inaccuracies at best, but usually straight up lies
Examples?

>>20253006
Yeah well. What are you gonna do about it?

>>20253110
Nothing since it’s obvious you’re baiting.

>>20252393
Logo doesn't read anything he posts about

>Fiction? Non-fiction? I read belles lettres.

>>20252384
>Why yes, I’ve read Pliny and Cicero over a hundred times, as I enjoy unraveling the personal histories and in-jokes of the correspondents as I imagine myself as a man of letters with all of history’s great men, how could you tell?

>>20252384
Dumb frogposter!

>>20252534
>refutes himself

>>20252384
>books on meme political systems that will never be applied in the real world

When society collapses you'll see otherwise.

He got knocked retarded by a van after years of knocking himself retarded with coke and booze. After book four the series goes completely to shit and it was honestly pretty dumb even before that.

no idea but I can't help but admire it a bit just because of how bizarre it is. Even if it's dumb.

Perfectly put. Book 4 is the apex, the rest is mediocre. That van really fucked him up.

I like the very ending of Dark Tower otherwise yes book 4 was the last good one.
I would say Gunslinger is exceptionally good and different from a lot that I've read. It's standalone in a way.>>20252851

Everything becomes fiction as soon as it's put to paper.

>>20252559
people waste thousands of hours without a second thought on crap like fantasy novels, video games, and learning the clarinet and you're worried about history and philosophy wasting your time. tell me, what if anything WOULDN'T be a waste of your time?

Bros we're all just looking at stupid squiggles on a computer screen that objectively don't mean anything and are impossible to verify the meaning of with another individual outside of our own thoughts.
