ITT we discuss what a bunch of fucking losers 90% of /lit/ is. Discussing the same fucking things over and over. Post a book that doesn't fit into /lit/'s cookie cutter daily discussions.

The difference being that the historian did not set out to write about anything big. Its just an autist going on and on about his autistic subject, not knowing that he is speaking about so much more. This guy just really likes medieval florentine politics and thats it. Its like a person who talked to Jesus but thought he was a nobody

KC Green's stuff is often switches between being a hit and miss for me. So many of his comics would benefit from one or two less panels.

You ever notice how most sci-fi is about thinly veiled nazis oppressing people? Where's the sci-fi that actually looks into our future? I'm not worried about some tall, blonde motherfucker in a black coat burning my library because it has a religious book in it. I'm not worried about Professor Umbridge making poor people fight to the death on the TV. I'm worried that cities will be hideous Frank Ghery abominations with plastic skyscrapers collapsing under their weight because architects are braindead morons hired though nepotism. And if you say "hey, I miss when buildings were pretty and made of stone" a mob of people attack you for wrong think. Where's that sci-fi book?

Just read non-military science fiction. As rare as it is conpared to all the military science fiction there are great stories out there. Besides, why look for books with glum outcomes for humanity when you can read and aspire to achieve a greater future.
