/lit/, how does it feel to be exactly like /b/tards, but the only difference is that you guys won't admit you're actually retarded?

I am fully retarded.

The discontinuities of the thread format is highly disparate from the the sequential, connected activity that is bookreading. If anything the most appropriate kind of literacy required for this is newspaper literacy.

Faulkner did the neat thing of translating a highly chaotic mind that is Benjy into the sequential print, and we are the opposite of Benjy, translating our book-uniformed minds into this mess of a website.

frequenting the same internet site means we all have the exact same qualities yes.

Well it means your qualities are limited to those that can be shared within an interface that yes, is the same for everyone.

Benjy's was my favorite perspective in the Sound and the Fury. It was fucking irritating at times, but I definitely got a lot of use out of it as a writer. Did you notice how Dilsey's and Luster's diction was completely different in Benjy's perspective as opposed to the others', including the 3rd person narrator's? My interpretation of that was that, since Benjy was a retard, he couldn't see any difference in race or the way different races behave. In other words, Benjy was 'colorblind.'

The point is that at least other boards allow themselves to have low-brow tastes without feeling like plebs. I love literary stories and genre stories. I actually allow myself to be happy.

>> No.7061307

im even more retarded than the people on /b/ actually. i read 50 books a year just to remind myself how retarded i am (extremely)

>> No.7061328

Well, since I usually come to /lit/ to troll and not be serious, I'm perfectly willing to admit it.

Have you considered that some people don't want to bother wasting 5 hours reading a movie when movies exist, and that furthermore some people might not even like movies so "pew pew lazor wow swing sword at orc" might not be a disireable use of time? Have you considered people who aren't apparently assumptive retards as yourself have multiple areas of interest beyond reading, as you also seem to, yet still feel the need to make this retarded thread?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Best thing I read today.

but I still hesitate to call Benjy a retard, I have a colorblindness of my own, I can't barely tell sane from insane anymore, I just see different modes of awareness or perception

All I'm saying is that it seems you people are too hesitant to enjoy anything that isn't considered high art. Fuck, even David Foster Wallace, whom everybody calls a pretentious faggot, enjoyed films like Aliens and Terminator.

My favorite thing to do is take ketamine listening to bad rock music unshowered in a field and The Thing is one of my favorite movies. I abhorr genre fiction with the exception of some horror short stories for their aesthetic, because it sucks and is a massive waste of time for what it is.
