Why is literature important? How has it ever impacted the world?

>> No.3227446

>How has it ever impacted the world?

This is perhaps the most ignorant question I've ever read.

>> No.3227449

What's happened to my /lit/? Ever time I leave for a few weeks, it's in an even worse state when I return. I didn't think this board could sink any lower.

>> No.3227459

>>3227446
It is, but I'm not meanin to challenge anything. Sorry, I'm not a frequent to /lit/.

I just got to thinking I don't know much about literature, and was wondering.

I guess you're an uneducated fuck.

The first book that would come to mind for even a mediocre educated pleb should be Common Sense.

And a bit more educated would say Uncle Tom's Cabin.

A really educated pleb would say Roll Jordan Roll.

Science fiction in general has greatly impacted the world.

the tripfags? the truly annoying tripfags left months ago. we got what we wished for, a mostly anon /lit/, and it's still fucking shit. 700 derrida threads a day, 2 million stormfags nazing threads up and the little literature that does happen to be discussed has already been discussed infinite times before

>> No.3227498

I like how instead of answering OPs seemingly sincere question everybody just started ranting about how this board is shit while wondering why... well gee that's irony for you (and not the shitty type of irony that spiteful anons use to mask their inability to say anything substantial)

English majors and philosophers, why do you expect from this board? This is not /sci/.

We are retarded plebeians.

We have Stan, Sunhawk and that feminist butterfly. I'd rather have the old ones back.

I think onionring is the only /lit/ tripfag who was actually smart, but I still hate her

>> No.3227573

Everybody, I need your attention. I have made the decision to become a tripfag. From now on you can expect quality posting to sweep over this board and the roach posting to be stamped out.

Monsieur, Please. Together we can work on restoring /lit/ to a tolerable board, yes? We can stamp out the roaches, prevent the mindless cretins from gaining 200+ post threads, and bask in the magnificence opulence of our vast collective knowledge. Yes?

Lorrie Moore answers the question pretty nicely, albeit concisely.
