/lit/ - Literature

I have the Master and Margarita one and a couple of the cute books ones from shirt.woot.

They're nice to wear while volunteering at the library.

>>5081853
who do you think we are?

I use /lit/ clothing strategically to repel smart people because they make me feel inadequate. For instance I wear a shirt with a picture of Samuel Beckett on it, and on the back it says "Nothing To Be Done". This way, anyone above a certain threshold, specifically the threshold of middling classical education necessary to know Beckett is an obscurantist fraud and Waiting for Godot is the blank panels from the 2deep4u image, will think I'm a pleb and stay away.

>>5081859
Normally I shit on these kinds of things, but that's a pretty awesome shirt. Also, I'm jealous you can actually volunteer at your library and not have to wait in a line.

Go be cancer somewhere else.

It was one of the few from Out of Print that didn't outright look like a book cover pasted on the front.

Here's the shirt.woot designs I have. They make me feel like an elementary school teacher.

I have this from woot. I know it's really lame, but I don't care.

>>5081907
It looks adorable to me, anon.

I really wanna make a white, custom zip-up or pullover with Le Petit Prince on it because I can't seem to find one already made

Out of Print only has the blue version.

>>5081853

Got a few of these.

Moby-Dick
Brave New World
Light in August
The Master and Margarita

why don't you make your own? pic related.

>>5081929
The Moby Dick one is lovely and simple, like the Walden one. They're nice designs.

why, though?

>>5081924
nice site

>>5081924
Dat Wrinkle in Time shirt.

>>5081859
I'd master her margarita if you know what I mean.

>>5082002
Is meaning sex, yes?

>HEY LOOK AT ME I AM AND MY INTERESTS! I AM A WALKING BILLBOARD THAT ADVERTISES MYSELF!
Buying clothes for a graphic design is like reading for plot.

>>5082015
It's already pretty obvious you like books when you work in a setting related to literature and teaching. There's no reason to not embrace it and have fun.

>>5082015
Wearing anything at all probably advertises something about you. And so would wearing nothing. I tried wearing a grey jumpsuit, but I just got asked to clean up spills and soiled restrooms.

>>5082002
You're depressingly desperate to go for a fatty, if you know what I mean.

>>5082022
Living for fun is also like reading for plot.
MUH patricianXcore

>>5082031
You're very mean.

>>5082052
but you are depressingly desperate
and she is a fat fuck

you both have problems
one of you knows
do something about it
I'm not mean
I am helping
Stop being a faggot.

>>5082058
you don't want to help me, you just enjoy being mean. don't kid yourself.

>>5082022
>you post on a board with these vacuous status hogs

>>5082271
How does that relate to status? Everyone around me reads, they all know what the books are, they all love books. Not every place is as concerned with being patrician as /lit/ is.

You have some serious issues if you think that girl is fat. Did mommy not love you enough?

>>5082292
i only bang 10/10 unicorns get rekt faggot

They need to make a show that's like Big Bang Theory but with English and Humanities types, so that we can get this bullshit out of our system once and for all.

>tfw i know how angler fish procreate
>tfw i can't even see an angler fish without thining about it
>tfw scarred for life

my friend has one that says "I would prefer not to"
I am pretty jealous of it.

The other day I was hiking in Arcadia Nat'l park and saw a guy wearing a Ulysses shirt. Later the same day I saw someone wearing a Fountainhead shirt and hissed

>>5082319
would wear/10

>>5082319
I have to resist the urge to beat anyone who wears a 4chan-referencing shirt, especially when you consider they probably got it custom made.

Everyone who bitches about other people wearing book tees is clearly cancer from /mu/, they dont like band tees either.
Fuck you, as if anyone is gonna read a book because they saw some guy wearing a shirt, its too highly ineffective to work as advertising.

>>5082441
>especially when you consider they probably got it custom made.

Especially when you just KNOW their parents foot the bill.

>>5081853
"I 'LIKE' READING BUT I'VE ONLY READ YA NOVELS SINCE HIGHSCHOOL"

>>5081859

"THE FIRST THING I WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT ME IS THAT I READ RUSSIAN LITERATURE"

>>5081887
"I THINK AM INTELLIGENT READING IS MY HOBBY"

>>5081929
"MOBY DICK I'VE READ MOBY DICK I READ FAULKNER FAULKNER IM BETTER THAN YOU RUSSIAN LITERATURE YEAAAH IM HIGHBROW"

or

"YOU ARE ALL SHEEPLE TRAPPED IN THE CAPITALIST CONSUMPTION MACHINE DONT MIND THAT IM WEARING A 20 DOLLAR TSHIRT"

>>5082319
"LOL 4CHAN" *HAS THE FACE OF A 12 YEAR OLD*

>>5082465
If I'm in a library and reading to small children, it's already fairly obvious reading is my hobby.

>>5082465
You are so fucking petty its unreal, do you always project that hard? No one thinks that way about something as unimportant as SHIRTS but you.

>>5082486

>You are so fucking petty its unreal, do you always project that hard?

if these were baseless projections you wouldn't be catching feelings as hard as you are now

what is truly petty here is bastardizing literature into a fashion statement, but i'm sure you're not even in a position to accept this simple truth yet

>>5082452

The guy in the middle has hope of turning normal, the other ones are doomed for life (and will end up in arcanine, specially the one on the left)

I almost bought a Catcher in the Rye shirt one time, but instead I bought a Beat Happening shirt. Girls seem to like the Beat Happening shirt even if they don't know about the band.

>>5083006
>Women like my Beat Happening shirt
>because it let's them prepare for what's coming

>>5083006
fuark where did you find it?

>>5082058
Low test beta detected.

>>5081924
these would be cooler without the titles + authors


also does a similar site exist for band gear?

>>5082465
I AM ABOVE SILLY THINGS, I AM SO MATURE AND NOT BELOW THINGS ONLY ABOVE, PAY ATTENTION TO ME!

>>5084609
At a music festival in Barcelona, but you can get them on the K records website too I believe.

>>5084662
just found that, out of XLs. how tight do the sizes fit? the chest measurements never really line up like they would with a model

and thanks btw

The cover for The Stranger without the text would be a pretty rad shirt.

>>5084698
oh yeah, that one book cover that book has had, i know the one.

>>5084710

Sorry, I always forget that mentally challenged people can use this board too.

>>5082058
Have you ever actually conversed with a female? She is a good looking one, but more to the point you are entirely delusional.

i have a vonnegut shirt but i got too fat to wear it.

>>5084662
bitches love some K records bands

Years ago I had a Shakespeare shirt with the text 'prose before hoes'

Pretty stupid in retrospect

>>5084716
sweet jesus, you're really stupid

Look at my patrician shirt.

>>5086284
I had one that read "Shakespeare hates your emo poems" but I outgrew it.

>>5082058
What a shitty poem. You don't even care about rhythm. This could have been prose and nothing would have been lost. But no, you needed your fancy linebreaks.

That is literally the stupidest fucking shirt I've ever seen. 10/10 shrek it out!

>>5086284
Especially since Shakespeare rarely ever wrote prose. Heh.

>>5081853
Nah.

All my shirts are either plain, or have pictures of dogs on them.

>>5087341
True. I think the designer used his portrait because he's really the only widely known face in literature.

Maybe one day I'll find some motivation and have a similar shirt printed up with Twain or Hemmingway

I have this one.
