/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.9668583]

I'm realizing now that this board is a shithole... the whole Ontilogicool incident is a good indicator of that. Nobody even reads here, it's just people posting about meme books and shitposting. You'd think a /lit/ board would be a little more mature, but people here will still take every chance they get to be edgy or pretend they're more intelligent than the next person. If there was actual discussion on this site it wouldn't be such a waste of time. Get off 4chan and go read a book.

OP. I don't know what threads you've been in, but all that should've been obvious the first time you came in here.

I only visit /lit/ to shitpost and get into pedantic arguments about things I don't even care about. The whole board is full of pseudo-intellectuals who have no idea how much they sound like little children.

It's great.

I mean, unless you actually want to discuss books seriously.

How about YOU read a book and join a Moby Dick discussion reading thread?

But also you're right, this board (and many others like mu, p,) is just a gateway for people to get into certain thing, this case books. Once you get past level of the board you will probably still stay because you realized sometimes its got really funny memes about the subject, kinda different from other websites.

Just do your own thing OP, if you really are that smart you'd realize discussion online is terrible, so just enjoy this for what it is.

Always this. I read constantly and come to /lit/ because its fun and because occasionally I'll get a really good discussion about literature I couldn't anywhere else. /lit/ is fine, and these weekly posts do nothing to change anything.

This website is a shithole, but its our shithole. Much like real life, its not a hugbox, and you're gonna get glares, cat calls and what not. There are some genuine intriguing ideas and writers on this site, thats not a joke. However, a lot of cross over with other boards that have really muddied it as of late. Everyone thinks theyre better than everyone, until someone calls them a pseud. The issue with this Ontilogicool person is that shes clearly from a comfortable academic world, wherein when she is critiqued it isn't harsh and is more directed to her interpretation of the works for the class. Here, everything is fair game, seldom few will defend you, a lot will mock and sexualise you, because thats what the anonymous individual does. That and most memers are NEETs who haven't left their rooms in ages and don't know what normal human interaction is like and are devoid of emotion

It's pseuds all the way down.

that's pretty much every philosophy department here until post grad. weeding them out so you get one guy who knows basic programming is hard. you should transfer if you can, it might be a local phenomenon. finding one in those classes that isn't is like finding anyone with a penis in a psych 101

/lit/ has been great to me. I mostly lurk these days for good recs that aren't meme'd into oblivion. Started reading SPQR by Mary beard...whoever recommended that I couldn't thank enough.

At the same time, there is a dark side to the board and I feel quite bad for this ontologicool girl. She was being criticized far too harshly when you consider the fact that she was basically just diary posting on youtube. Then ag

I'm reading that right now. I sort of fucking despise this book. I've read quite a few books about roman history, and this is the worst. It's boring for one, I mean it's really hard to make rome boring, but she really pulls it off. It's also rambling as fuck, Half the damn time I have no idea what she's talking about because she wanders of into about nine sub tangents of whatever the fuck she was originally talking about.

Tip offs for bad history books: when the chapters have almost nothing to do with the title of the chapter.
