also i miss the tinychats during summer when it was only /lit & /lit2. people would get accused of being stagolee & people would read books & things like that. i think stag played pokemon yellow for us at one point.

summer was probably the happiest point in my life for a longtime (childhood was prob happy). there was only the impending doom of uni & apart from that i could just be on here all day, read books & listen to music. i even felt stagolee was one of my real friends & also mogwai too. i miss summer so much.

To be honest, I thought /lit/ was much better in March-April-May than it was during the summer (when the tripfags invaded and the level of discourse plummeted).

[Deep&Edgy !pSkjEcB9sQ No.1210473]

>What does /lit/ think about /lit/?
Opinions about "books".
As opposed to critical analysis and literary discourse.

Make a thread (a polite one even) about something even remotely related to theory and it gets ignored because most people don't know what it's about. Sometimes people post very useful, interesting and funny things.

Meanwhile people give their opinions on the same old, tired authors, which usually amounts to pitiful shit-flinging. Fantasy, Sci-fi threads. Ayn Rand. Hey /lit/ help me find this hopelessly obscure book from my generic childhood. Amateur poetry hour. Help me with my homework. Grade my scribbles. Worse still, each of these has its equivalent in troll threads.

What does this even mean? This is 4chan. People ARE what they post. People's opinion of you is entirely derived from the threads you post.

I think the board is doing ok but I wish Tybrax and D&E would leave/stop posting as much.

Ty is a social failure and does not seem to get how annoying they are.

D&E would actually be a GREAT poster if he just didn't have the attitude problem. If he dropped the arrogance and treating everyone like idiots for not having read as much as he has he'd get better responses and we'd have some good solid threads on the first page for once.

Sadly neither of the two of them seem to notice the things they are doing that annoy us, I can only hope they come to terms with themselves and stop this behaviour sooner rather than later.

No. It's not because your posts are 2 ELITE 4 YOU. It's because you're a trolling prick whose attitude is constantly elitist, antagonistic, and fucking hostile. People realize that you're a troll. They realize that you are constantly angry, belittling, insulting, attacking everyone else. And they realize that the purpose of your threads (which are really very intelligent) is to allow you to troll and insult people and shit (and if you want to argue about this, go ahead. I'm not going to listen. That's how you're perceived, whether of not it really is your intent). And consequently, they dislike you. What is so hard to understand about this.

This is why you are hated Ty, we have told you what to do.

Go. Talk. To. People.

You have at least one person now that you don't mind, ask them out for coffee again, talk, this is how friends are made.

If you meet a shy person you will both kinda hang out, mostly be to shy to talk to each other or do things and nothing will really change, if you meet a confident person who wants to be friends then they will talk to you, get you talking back and encourage you to DO stuff, to get out of your comfort zone and deal with people better.

you don't have to leave the house to do things, it could be as simple as playing a video game together or talking about a book you've both read recently, these little things will get you out of your shell and make you feel better, even if you never go to a concert get drunk and fuck people, those things are not for everyone.

Is a reverse narrative still a reverse narrative if you read the book from back to front?

A reverse narrative is a story told backwards

This seems to me to be a rather superficial narrative technique which depends on the purely arbitrary, although well ingrained and pragmatic convention of the reader to read the book in a certain manner (front to back).
