James Joyce wrote about stuff that doesn't pertain to my life. He didn't have a notebook computer and he didn't use youtube.
Therefore, Tao Lin is better than James Joyce.

Six days ago, I had the first migraine of my life. I thought about posting on Facebook, 'I've just had my first migraine, does this mean I get to be Nietzsche?'. To be honest, I'm not even sure as I write this that it was Nietzsche who had migraines. Maybe it was Flaubert, but I don't think so, since he was a faker. Anyhow, I spent the next five days or so alternately feeling like all the ants in the world had been cast in metal ingots still hot from hell, and were marching through my veins. I had some pretty rad fever dreams. Anyway, it left yesterday with the last touches of a painful ghost on my crown. The ghost of growing pains, maybe.

No refuting argument.

Interesting.

And by "interesting" I mean "checkmate!"

I haven't read either but I'd rather read Tao Lin.

Tao Lin transformed novelistic conventions through experimentation in language and narrative structure. "Eeeee eee eeee," "Shoplifiting From American Apparel," and the stories that make up his collection "Bed" are among the major works discussed in this new collection of full-length critical essays by Harold Bloom. Includes chronology.

Tao Lin is terrible.

Harold Bloom has never written anything of worth, and probably never will.

One of them.

I wish I could find Tao Lin ebooks online though. Are there any /lit/erati who have them?

All of the posts you have ever made reek of a 12 year old and I don't care to be mean on the internet, nor do I do more than lurk, but I feel everyone would appreciate it if you were to stop posting immediately
