We're having a /lit/ meetup in Boston this Saturday.

Email bostonliterature at gmail if you're interested & I'll give you the place & time.

>Why?

If you've been to university organizations, reading groups, or hung out in a cafe up here, you've noticed the stifling eggshell-walking culture. And also that no one reads /lit/ books.

>What?

Something in the vein of Ben Franklin's Junto, Emerson's Transcendental Club. Discussion, critique, &c.

i don't like these guys. i hear they always make fun of me and my wife whenever i'm not there. a lot of weird harvard brainlets show up (definitely a thing, if you know harvard people you know what i mean).

mostly smelly alt-left and alt-right types. none of them understand the merits of the egalitarian american impulse which ironically is the only thing that allows idiots like these to meet and talk as they do.
