Eh, you'd have to write about 6000 worts a day. Harlan Ellison was known to write 3000 word stories in a single evening and get them published the next day.

But Harlan Ellison is easily one of the most talented Jewish men alive. You're just some guy who browses /lit/.

So right now my reading is fulfilled by the /lit/ book club (I'm reading all three things), but when this week is over, what should I do:
Reread Dune and start reading the sequels
or
start A Song of Ice and Fire
?

I only had 25 mins to read today, and that was in a busy hallway outside a locked classroom. I'd be reading now but I have to pretend to be working.

Courage Wolf is a tripbro on /lit/. He started a book club. If you want to participate, read Lolita, A Scanner Darkly, or The Pit and the Pendulum (or all 3 if you're a badass like me) by Sunday.

>> No.1129689 [View]

I haven't started Lolita yet, but I'm on page 14 of A Scanner Darkly. I hope to finish it by Thursday night and then start on Lolita.

I'll probably read the Pit and the Pendulum Sunday morning.

>> No.1122867 [View]

Sure am glad I started that thread reminding Courage Wolf to start the fucking book club ;D

I'll try to read all 3. Kinda tough because I'm reading a genre book of my own right now, but I should finish it quickly and then just finish A Scanner Darkly in a day or so.

I guess I won't get them and instead spend my money on actual science fiction and fantasy.

Oh, Fake Stagolee, you never get old.

sage because I'd feel selfish bumping my thread for this post.

I am reading the following:

Lord of the Rings by Tolkien;
Dying of the Light by George RR Martin;
I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison (just finished World of the Myth, going to read Lonelyache tomorrow).

After I finish Dying of the Light, I will start on The Queen of Elfland's Daughter.

After I finish LOTR, I will start on A Song of Ice and Fire.

After I finish I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, I will probably start reading some Conan stories.

Is The Encyclopedia of Fantasy by Clue & Grant worth picking up if you're a fantasy fan?

Same thing goes for The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction.

/lit/ is hip and likes to keep with the trends.

First it was Gravity's Rainbow, then Ulysses, then House of Leaves, and now it is The Count of Monte Cristo.
