/lit/ - Literature

hai guyz my tripcode is gay lolz

If you've read the Dune series beyond the first book there are quite a few characters who have tragic flaws. Paul himself isn't without a few.

HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS

Haha, thanks. :P

Besides, anyone in an oWoD thread is pretty chill.

Not cool, bro.

Also, I am a nigger.

Fuck. Totally just game away my trip. Oh well. Lit is good enough to not use it.

Darmok and Gillad at Tinagra!

Totally got Oscar Wilde.

Have you seen it? It's tied with District 9 for me as best movie of last year.

The epic poem The Song of Roland. It's very old and French.

Moon.

It's science fiction. And was directed by David Bowie's son.

And it's a god-damn masterpiece.

True dat. But no everyone thinks he just died in a bar fight. Curse you Shakespeare In Love!

I'm hoping for steampunk or cyberpunk.

Shit, son, how come nobody posted Christopher Marlowe?

/tg/ and /lit/ are the only ones.
Literary. Although I do like spouting out stories as well. Maybe a combination of the two.
English (Creative Writing: Poetry Emphasis) and Biology.

I'll take some French, and then back to England for Beowulf. Then hop over to Rome, and then Greece, and then Mesopotamia, I suppose. Pre-Saxon there just isn't a whole lot of choice.

It really depends on the genre. Turn of the century? Give me Irish. Anytime before that, I'll go English. Post-modern fiction? I'll take American. Beyond that, I don't really have preferences.

Irish-fag here, and I'm going to support my own country. :P

Get caught reading a warhammer 40k novel then. The over-the-top-ness of anime+grim dark.

>Another question: What should you be seen reading to make a cute weird geek chick fall in love with you on the spot?


Catcher in the Rye. It seems to be their favorite book. No clue why. Just seen and spoke with a bunch of them about it.

Lovecraft works by an equation:

X+Y+Z>9000 wau

Where X is equal to your imagination,
Y is equal to your environment,
and Z is equal to effort put into the reading.

Oh, and wau's are Writing Awesomeness Units.

Marlowe kicks some serious ass, but I couldn't pick whether or not I like Goethe's or Marlowe's better. I study German at university, and reading Goethe in the original language is pretty damn epic.

Speaking of epics, I'm adding Beowulf to my hated list. Not because I don't like the story. No, it's because I have read it too many times for too many classes. I get it. The dude can rip arms off! That's cool! His lineage? Not so much.

>Faust

Goethe or Marlowe?
