>I'm sorry Spongebob, but Gary's with me now, you had your chance and you failed. You have to stop living in the past. Face it Spongebob, you're only hurting yourself, it's what Gary wants, and what Gary wants is me! Right Gary? Huh?

You don't understand IJ.

It's supposed to be like a tennis game.

Now its time to bring it around town. Bring-it-a-round-town. Then you do this, then this, and this, then this, then that, then this and that, and then-

I... I don't know what to feel.
This disturbs me greatly. I want to find out more about him

Also, I think this guy does not read books.

Consciously congruent.

Isn't everything, more or less?

This "inauthentic vs authentic" guy is a well known shitposter from /tv/. He is severly autistic and lives off autismbux.

Reminder that you are arguin with an actual mentally ill person.

He doesn't read books. He's just being an asshole.

Shit you old, brah.

What was your childhood like? who were your celebrity crushes?

Is The Book of the New Sun recommended for someone who doesn't really care for Fantasy and just reads "real" literature?

That's some patrician stuff right there, m8.

>I just don't guess what all the fuss is about,
The fuss doesn't exist in real life. Only with neckbeards on the internet.

Femisnm is a real thing, though. Just not like what 4chan thinks it is.

No.

Literature is about communication.

Judging from this interview, Willow isn't communicating; she's masturbating.

American Pastoral was released less than 20 years ago, and that's a masterpiece.

How about we do a reworked version of a classic work (like Joyce did with Ulysses) and make it a story about some boy falling in love?

For example, we could use The Divine Comedy, and have it start out with The Boy realizing that he has lost control over his life and is not the person he wants to be ("Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark, For the straightforward path had been lost"). He decides to change that while going through his mind and reflecting on his shortcomings and vices (the rings of hell and the sins connected to them), later he sees a girl and they fall in love, all along the lines of the structure of The Divine Comedy. Only the ending is changed: in true 4chan fashion, The Boy fucks things up with The Girl and she doesn't want to see him ever again. It could end with him greentexting about his journey on 4chan

for the greentext one I like the title:
">tfw no gf" and Other Horror Stories of the Modern Age

Best of greentext is boring; it's just old stories from 4chan. You can make a website to host that.

Maybe we can write a long form poem, where someone writes an opener, and every day people write the next section, and at the end of the day we vote about which one we like best. The following we continue from there.

Seems alright to me.

There was this one guy that posts that posts his beautiful cat poem on here sometimes. It was called "the cat of 8 lives ago" or something, and was absolutetly stunning. Some people must have saved it. I know I have, but not on this computer. That one should definitely be in there.

I think it's best if a collection of poems made by /lit/ also refects /lit/: everybody's posting everything. and everything is presented as equal, despite the retardation of most of it.

>>5744189
Fuck that.

Have people submit poems, and put everything in there, aside from long joke poems that only exist to make the book unpractically long.

Instead, every poem gets sorted by (ofcourse completely subjective) evocation.

>>5743044
I voted for poetry too.
