Migrated here from /mu/ after I realized I didn't care much about music anymore and preferred literature
Nothing serious but I'd like to write a bit more. Only for fun.
I take critiques seriously, but only if they're thought out. No "it's shit tbh"
I've always been into reading but I got serious after I left high school.
Goethe is my favourite writer, influence wise, I really love Fallada's style.
If I were influenced by Goethe too much my writing would sound stilted nowadays.
Sorrows of Young Werther or Elective Affinities
Don't have a particular favourite, but Weimar Classicism by my favourite books I guess

>Do you have any serious literary aspirations?

>If you use the critique threads how much weight do you give anons' critiques?
Plenty if they don't seem controlled by emotions or attempt to rewrite my own stuff which I would imagine is very annoying.
>When and why did you become a serious reader?
Well, when I was 5, I guess, although I really struggle these days. I was a good reader until I left highschool, and now I'm a lazy one.
>Who's your favorite author and/or greatest influence?
I feel like I'm in the beginning of encountering my true influences for writing, so a lot of my influences from the "heyday" of my reading energy don't really count, by my estimation.
>If the previous question had two different answers, what's the reason?
Because I can't stick to one medium.
>What's your favorite work of literature?
Not sure yet, I think. Still working on finding out.
>What's your favorite literary movement?
Not sure either; however, I like to think my tastes call for realism with a lush touch of imagery, where the descriptions seem sort of surrealistically juxtaposed with the simplicity of the action. This has been a kind of trope-like fascination for me with several works. Not sure how to describe it.
>What's your least favorite work by your favorite author?
Not sure. This thread is making me realize just how little I've read that really resonates with me. Depression can certainly be a killer, even when I feel productive and inspired. It's like I'm inspired by everything subconsciously.

>Do you have any serious literary aspirations?
Not quite. I write poetry and intend on developing my large content of notes into some form of prose. I enjoy exploring in written form various mythic concepts and frames of thought.

>If you use the critique threads how much weight do you give anons' critiques?

>When and why did you become a serious reader?
Since childhood - I continously read on various topics on interest. Reading = knowledge. And having a gnostic approach on life.. you can see my answer. I think humans live to learn. So I live.

>Who's your favorite author and/or greatest influence?
I seriously cannot boil it down to a such degree. I would he a hypocrite if I'd pose myself in a fanboy just for the sake of it.

It all depends on current interests. I have period of studying ancient history, which takes me to various mythologies, which brings me back to particular historical movements, which in turn makes me read literature written on in those settings. (an example for a couple of months would be Roman history - greco-roman paganism - origins of christianity - qvo vadis / altar of victory novels. etc)

Huh. Honestly, much to /lit/'s disdain, my favourite author is Ayn Rand. And my greatest influence is Sartre.

I use critique threads to post my own things, I dont really know how to critique others work, im trying to learn how to write well myself

I was never a serious reader of fiction, from childhood ive been a very heavy reader of non fiction but as ive grown older ive become more drawn to the artistic freedoms of fiction

>who is your favorite author/influence
Im not really sure, when I was young I used to read a children's series of books called A Series of Unfortunate Events, I remember enjoying the setting that felt grounded in reality yet incredibly whimsical. I like reading memoirs on mental illness. I also like Plath because im a moody teenager

>What is your favorite work
I thought of three. They fall into the realm of memoirs on mental illness. I enjoyed "an unquiet mind".

>literary movement
Im new as fuck. I saw Dada in a list of literary movements. I enjoy Dada when it comes to visual arts, though I do not create any anti-art myself. I just find it somewhat amusing.

Still trying to pin down who my favorite author is. I dont really think about it.

>If you use the critique threads how much weight do you give anons' critiques?

>When and why did you become a serious reader?
I read The Sun Also Rises in a literature class senior year of high school and fell in love with it. That summer I switched from reading fantasy to reading the modernists, and I went from there.
>Who's your favorite author and/or greatest influence?
Favorite author is Pynchon. It's hard to name my greatest influence but probably Pynchon as well. I feel I'm influenced by almost every author I like.
>If the previous question had two different answers, what's the reason?

I'm 19 years old.

I am handsome, smart, athletic and virile.

I have a novel that is in it's final editing stage, and a creative writing professor at my college has read the first draft and thinks it's saleable.

I have a girlfriend who is confident, articulate, playful and spontaneous.

I have a small group of interesting friends from different social and academic backgrounds, and I also have many other acquaintances who see me as a reliable source of humour and good company.

Both my parents are alive and in good health.

I have no regrets.

I have already experienced three existential crises, the latter of which was described as having the depth and profundity of a man twice my age.

I am a passionate lover, a sharp thinker, and a trader of witty repartee.

I am not self-pitying, meek or needlessly humble.

I will live a good life at your expense.

>How old are you?
25
>How'd you discover 4chan and/or /lit/?
4chan, through Livejournal in 2005. My first boards were /cm/ and /a/. I left in 2008, came back in 2010 when /lit/ was made, which I found out through LibraryThing.
>Do you have any serious literary aspirations?
To do a literature PhD, write a few monographs and essay collections, and read a lot of books otherwise.
>If you use the critique threads how much weight do you give anons' critiques?
n/a
>When and why did you become a serious reader?
I was always reading excessively, but my tastes change a lot. I read the whole elementary school library and a good 3/4 of my intermediate one. But when I was a teenager that switched to manga and ended that when high school ended. I went back to literature when I was 20. It was initially for escapism from a bad period of life. But I read Kokoro and realized how much more literature could do for me.
>Who's your favorite author and/or greatest influence?
Kawabata and Ryokan
>If the previous question had two different answers, what's the reason?

How'd you discover 4chan and/or /lit/?
I think I discovered in the wake of the Anonymous drama after Wikileaks

Do you have any serious literary aspirations?
Not with regard to writing. I will probably become a teacher though.

If you use the critique threads how much weight do you give anons' critiques?
I barely take a look and while I think /lit/ is pretty well read and good for recommendations and such the critique guys usually dont seem to have much idea what they are talking about.

When and why did you become a serious reader?
About 20 years ago when I was conscripted for the military. The military environment was so dull and dumb that I tried to keep my mind sharp by turning reading for entertainment into 'serious reading' if you want to call it that.

Who's your favorite author and/or greatest influence?
Philip K. Dick, Cormack McCarthy, Lion Feuchtwanger, Stefan Zweig

What's your favorite work of literature?
Blood Meridian (McCarthy), Die Füchse im Weinberg (Feuchtwanger), Die Welt von Gestern (Zweig)
What's your favorite literary movement?
Post/Modernism

What's your least favorite work by your favorite author?
I love Dick but I think Man in the High Castle is pretty overrated and boring

>Do you have any serious literary aspirations?
I have "serious" "intellectual" aspirations and literature can help.
>If you use the critique threads how much weight do you give anons' critiques?
Depends on their feedback. Anon's critiques are like the someone who points out all I've chosen to ignore. But sometimes they critique the timing of my post, the way the text looks like in a post, the mood they are in instead of the text itself.
>When and why did you become a serious reader?
What's with the "serious." I was a "serious" reader at 14-16 and got it back recently with Joyce, upon reading A Portrait and delving into a lot of related authors.
>Who's your favorite author and/or greatest influence?
Joyce
>If the previous question had two different answers, what's the reason?
It did have lots of different answers but I had to omit several for the sake of answering it properly. The questions define the answers, if someone replies two or more it's first because they are rebelling and second because they have two or more favorite authors and/or greatest influences, by that order.

>How'd you discover 4chan and/or /lit/?
4chan thorugh epic memes and word of mouth about being the worst place in the internet. I was already here when arcanine got split into other boards and /lit/ was my main reason to visit it so it came natural to remain here.

>Do you have any serious literary aspirations?
I'd like my work to be really good and I'd love to get published. I don't work enough on it to call it serious, though.

>If you use the critique threads how much weight do you give anons' critiques?
Gaiman once said that you should always listen when people tell you that something doesn't work but never listed to how they think it should be.

>When and why did you become a serious reader?
Mh... maybe when I was a teen. I'm not one of those 50+ books a year guys so I'm not the most serious reader.

>Who's your favorite author and/or greatest influence?
I don't have a favorite, I like different people for different reasons. Right now I'd guess that what I'm doing is pretty on Philip Dick's dick, but I'd rather be closer to other authors if I could.

>What's your favorite work of literature?
Again, there is no favorite since the things I like can't really be compared.
I find El Que Tiene Sed one of the most powerful novels from my country I've read, today I was reminded of how awesome and strangely poetic Storms of Steel is, and Big Sur has a special place since it help me better deal with my feelings for my father.

When I was 14 I saw a movie where there was this one guy who picked up a lot of girls and as very well read, and I decided to be like him. My first book of literature was 100 Years of Solitude: I loved it, but it confused me a lot. Soon I was reading and writing poetry. I decided I was going to be a poet, and yet I wanted to create characters and stories. After I discovered Shakespeare I realized that I was going to be a dramatist.
>Shakespeare and Tolstoy.
>I love Shakespeare for his language and the versality of his work. Tolstoy, however, is the author whose reading is most pleasurable to be. However I esteem Shakespeare’s lack of personal credo and philosophy, and abhor the personal views and philosophies of Tolstoy; I only love his art.
>If I have to choose a single one, War and Peace. But the complete works of Shakespeare are superior: there is nothing better than it. Of Shakespeare my favorite plays are Macbeth, Hamlet, A Midsummer Night Dream, The Tempest and Henry IV. I also love Lolita and 100 Years of Solitude.
>I don’t have any. But I guess that, if I had to choose, I would chose the XIX century realism. Shakespeare’s verse is, I believe, kind of baroque, but he is an especial case: nobody writes like him.
>Tolstoy’s preaching books. His Kreutzer sonata is also not very good. In Shakespeare there are valuable things in all of the plays (all of them have outstanding poetry), but many of them are boring if we take them a whole. His two narrative poems are also boring, although they have wonderful strophes.
