OP I fucking love you. I don't know anyone else that reads Ambrose Bierce. He's my favorite author. Brofist.

>>653661
What has he done that's worth reading besides The Devil's Dictionary?

"...she took her hand and raised her brush. For a moment it stayed trembling in a painful but exciting ecstacy in the air. Where to begin?--that was the question at what point to make the first mark? One line placed on the canvas committed her to innumerable risks, to frequent and irrevocable decisions. All that in idea seemed simple became in practice immediately complex; as the waves shape themselves symmetrically from the cliff top, but to the swimmer among them are divided by steep gulfs, and foaming crests. Still the risk must run; the mark made."
- To The Lighthouse

I tripfagged as Ambrose Bierce for awhile actually. I'll start again. Maybe as Peyton Farquhar though.

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridige.

Read it NOW. Kurt Vonnegut proclaims it to be the greatest short story in American literature, and considers anyone that doesn't read it to be a twerp.

>>653679
Yeah. Plus like almost all of his short stories as well.

>>653679 Kurt Vonnegut recommends it

That's okay. I won't hold that against it.

sylvia plath is pretty good-looking in some of her pics. i'd hit it.

I want to make Russki love with Raskolnikov's tight-ass sister.

>>653470
Ron Howard?

Mathilde de La Mole, definitely

Dominique Francon would get it HARD, I believe she likes it like that.

There is within me that which will tire
Torture and Time, and breathe when I expire:
Something unearthly which they deem not of,
Like the remembered tone of a mute lyre.

>>653791
I don't know if you're a guy or a girl, young or old, his sister or not his sister, but Byron would hit it anyway.

No one has a Dean Moriarty crush?

What has happened to youth?

maybe lit is not as filled with fags as you expected, my homosexual friend.

Jill from Stranger in a Strange Land.
I want to fall asleep in her breasts.

>>653661
brofist, man
I love love his short stories, and devil's dictionary always puts a smile on my face. I like that even though everyone pretty much crowned him the face of cynicism and satire (during his time), he hated it and refused it

I was always more into Jack himself.

Why is this thread full of men?

Lesbia Plath, huh? Doesn't sound like such a bad idea. I should check if Assia will be ok with it...

I had a crush on Bukowski until I saw what he actually looked like... felt bad man.

Did you read any of his prose? His ugliness is a pervasive theme.
