1.John Steinbeck and George Martin
2. Jarosław Borszewicz and Edward Stachura, they're poets from my country. I guess you could say they're accursed poets, they're both kind of obsessed with death and romantic relationships. Stachura strangled himself to death, by his own force which very rarely happens, it shows you in what kind of mental state he was in. But I doubt you can even translate their work into other languages. It's a shame, but oh well.
3. I'm not that much into philosophy, but none of the philosophers I've read about struck a chord with me, even if I had some similiar views on life, nor did they form an interesting and original philosophy to me. I find French existentialists to be especially uncreative and overrated.

Yes, I'm done now. I was never going to become the next Faulkner, the next Nabokov or the next Joyce, but I hid behind the language barrier to avoid criticism for months, maintaining an illusion that was fun to live in while it lasted. I had thought my country's education system was topmost in the world, but this turned out to be utter bollocks. A child of 18, a person ten years my junior, has a greater vocabulary than I, who had to look up the word “topiary”, and no one likes the expression theory of art anymore, I am likened to a long lost dinosaur.
This will be my final post on /lit/. I've been humiliated and exposed as a fraud. My writing is pretentious, infantile, banal drivel. My observations are dull, my language grade school level. My tenses are mixed up; I use colloquialisms, ellipses and onomatopoeia. I mix tired and trite idioms together to obfuscate their unoriginality with a veneer of irony; I have continued to recite ornate Jewish chimpanzee parables with diminishing returns. The parable seemed very clearly to me to be asking me whether or not the now-grown-adult can choose. I say yes, of course, but that's not my issue.
I was never cut out for writing. I began writing my "book" on January 6th. Since then I've produced 82 thousand words for it. These words are a tide of garbage without value, without insight, without form. The themes of time, space, infinity, memory and pointless duelling are not present in my work. It was never real writing, it was anime and weebshit. Look how many words I wrote, because apparently literature is bodybuilding and just aimlessly typing will somehow improve my writing. I don't even know what genre it is that I'm writing. Is it autofiction? A comedy? A picaresque?
Regardless, I have failed. I have put down my pen. Never again will my fingers click-clack across the keyboard. No more outlines, no more characters. Goodbye

1.Joyce, you cunts, and Nabokov, Melville and Mann. The four horsemen of prose tearing shit up, get the fuck out of my face if you disagree, faggot.
2. Milton, I guess? I liked Paradise Lost. I haven't read enough poetry to know, but I'll assume that what I like is better than what you like and it's probably true.
3.Philosophy lmao. Faggot. Schoppenhauer.
4. INTP because some bitch I used to fuck insisted I take the test. She was an ENsomething, and an easy slut.
5.I don't listen to music, it's shit.
