/lit/ - Literature

He's one of my favorite authors, I've read just about everything by him.

Oh fuck I just actually read the OP, sorry.

Either Whitman or Pessoa.

Against Nature.

Against Nature.

This.

Sometimes I just unplug my internet router for a few days and enjoy being completely isolated from society.

I'd advise to jump straight into Naked Lunch. It's difficult, but it's best experienced when taken by surprise, like a punch.

Neither, my life has been the exact same for the past 4 years or so, and not in a good way.

That's incredibly fucking stupid.

I don't like either, but I can see the appeal. The escapism, the novelty and just being immersed into a whole new world with its own history.

Edvard Munch's Journals are pretty interesting.

Yes, Alice.

And most little girls in anything.

It's good, but it's one of those books that are too idolized by its lovers and too abhorred by its haters.

I'd like to say you're not fooling anyone, but I'm afraid it might not be the case.

Why are you people responding? Why bother arguing with someone who is obviouly either a completely illeterate or a troll? Are you really not seeing those enormous glaring fallacies being poorly dressed as arguments? It's fucking absurd.

It's a trick question. In my eyes, life IS bleak, so having a bleak outlook on life would mean you see and understand what I consider to be the truth, so arguably that makes you a smart person.

But I don't support pessimism, I support realism. It just so happens that reality is utter shit.

Please take your bullshit back to /r9k/ or /b/.

Sophie's World?

Nearly all smut is shit.

The things that lead people to take nasty and harmful drugs are sometimes the same things that make them fascinating people or fascinating artists.

Watching thread, ready to give awful harsh non-constructive criticism.

22.
Male.
Centrist.
2010.
No.

Polite sage.

/lit/ is a bit too harsh but seriously, drop the incredulous.

lol

I don't read *instead* of watching movies, for instance. I do both, and when I read I read because there are things only a book can offer me. There are also things only a film can offer me.
