I thought the first paragraph was good

I want everyone to know that I was the creator of the non-sequitar "jesus" remark. I'm very proud of it and I hope many people use it in the future here at lit.

"jesus"
"jesus..."
Jesus of nazarith"
"jesus christ"

any of these variations can be used. they work beautifully in response to any situation.

Canterbury Tales seems..... archaic.

I've decided to become a well-read intellectual.

Tao Lin's Taipei

what kind of philosophy is this...

everytime I read it's a chore for me

I don't even notice these people you describe

Once upon a time,

>>3969291
sorry

>>3969245
if you read it in the wrong context it's actually so pretentious it's funny, but Tao Lin is one of those guys I can trust like that, he's sincere

>>3969148
Tao Lin himself said in an interview that he couldn't explain what the book was about, but he basically confirmed that there was more to it than just writing an autobiography. He couldn't explain it in the interview because he said it would take the books length to explain

>>3969123
i dunno

>>3969115

I know, but... those sentences did contribute something to the book in Tao Lin's mind, or else he wouldn't have put them there. He is a very careful, considerate writer, and we should look at the bigger picture of what the book is rather then plot, characterization, all the things that make a standard story good. Tao Lin didn't write, nor do I think he set out to write, a standard story.

>implying the video was about his talent at skateboarding

I'm going to defend Tao Lin... I liked his book.

The long introspective sentences actually have some meaning, if you take the time to understand them
