Was Artemis Fowl popular in the US?
i read them and i am from the us :)
Are it fame also in the Russia
For sure. Lots of people read them. I think interest dwindled after the third or forth, though. Maybe I simply noticed that because I was in high school by the time the others came out.
What is your daily routine /lit/? green text how you would spend a typical day by the hour including:
>sleep, study, activities, meals etc.

here is the source image by the way
>Get up at seven, shower, try to get out for work as quickly as possible, have a small breakfast, maybe 5 minutes. No coffee
>Commute for one hour where i read in the train if i feel fresh enough
>Work from quarter to nine until noon where i drink an exuberant amount of green tea
>go get lunch (noon)
>After 30 minute lunch, work until half past 5
>Commute home for an hour where i try to read again, but i normally fall asleep on the tube
>Go shopping for dinner
>Chill at home for hour, maybe a small nap
>Cook dinner at 9 or so
>from 10 and on i read and relax on the computer
>go to sleep between midnight and 1am

>that chick that wrote a story about the Holocaust that everyone was initially too awkward to critique but eventually ripped to pieces in front of her for twenty minutes
>that chick who kept writing about rape
>that autist who cared more about his fantasy magic systems than writing believable characters
The worst for me was those who would insist their mediocre lives were some inspiring struggle against adversity.

Rewrite a line or so from your favourite author, in the style of the author you despise the most.

What do I need to read before I can read and appreciate Ulysses?

/lit/ is a fairly slow board. The only threads that seem to get replies are decent bait threads, stacks threads, and bookshelf threads. Or like top X authors threads. Plus most people on here are shitposters who haven't even read anything except Harry Potter and Wikipedia summaries. I doubt any of them could write let alone mimic an author.
In all honestly, how many novels should I read before making a serious attempt to write my own?
Either none or many, no in between

How do you cope when you feel like life is just a huge set of unfulfilled desires plus one fulfilled desire that's excruciating?
>money is flying out my bank account because I spend it all on junk food and coffee
>tfw I want to drink coffee but it ruins my sleep and therefore I'm weak at the gym
>tfw I want to not be so fat but I want junk food
>tfw I want to spend 100 % of my free time doing one of reading / learning / something practical and I feel pathetic if I don't do all of them
>tfw I don't want to sacrifice sleep
>tfw my main hobby is sitting, drinking coffee, browsing 4chan on my phone, watching normies, and feeling sad and pathetic about myself
>tfw profracstinated learning maths / programming / doing actual programming for months and now my wagie job has taken almost all of my time so I only procrastinate during evenings
>tfw my entire life, from school to university to now has simply been following the set path laid out for me with zero initiative, and I have reached this age and see that Chads and women go up the escalator of good times and success while the conveyor belt leads to the grinder for the non Chad males
>did well at school but my university was low quality and uninteresting
>have a respectable looking first job from the outside that is SO brain-dead - and if I was a normie who could interact with coworkers it would be pretty damn good but of course I am the ugly outcast
>tfw imagine my eyes are broadcasting a live stream and the commenters are 4channers and they have given up on me and consider me not even worth camaraderie
How do you cope with the fact that you're a retarded frogfaggot that keeps posting the exact same shitty thread full of autistic r9k pasta day after day without succumbing to depressingly gnawing yet ultimately correct impulse to kill yourself and rid both yourself and the world of the burden of your pathetic existence?
My life has mostly been large stretches of boredom occasionally punctuated by moments of anticipation and concomitant disappointment. My ability to seemingly dissolve my identity into great art or profound ideas sometimes seems to make it all worthwhile, but far too often even that eludes me. I'm trying to decide an age to off myself by if I haven't yet broken this shitcycle, maybe 35.
I realize that I'm a wrench in the gears and that makes me very, very satisfied considering my story.
Which are the essential books of the Bible to start a deep study on the Christian conceptions of Evil and the Antichrist's figure?
Taking the opportunity of the thread, can you guys recommend reading plans for the Bible?
Bump for interest.
I have 4gb of criticism of the Bible ebooks and pdfs. I can screenshot the names if anyone cares. I started with Frye & Macpherson - Biblical and Classical Myths; The Mythological Framework of Western Culture (2004)
What are some books that are devastating critiques of their country/culture and are also not merely "topical trash"?
The Labyrinth of Solitude - Mexico.

I'm a slow reader. How I do I become a fast reader?
Also, I can't read more than an hour. I lose interest after reading for an hour.
Help!
>>9546776
>I lose interest after reading for an hour.
do short bouts of intense physical exercise when the mind starts going dull, then continue
>>9546776
I noticed I got faster at reading when I started using captions while watching tv and movies because you have a short time to read the whole sentence. As for reading through a decent chunk of a book quickly, minimize distractions so you don't end up rereading the same sentence or pausing too much.
>>9546776
reading slowly is good though
>writes chick-lit
>seems the only interesting thing he can talk about is how he was friends with DFW

/Lit/erary confessions thread. Repent your literary sins and maybe you won't be such a pleb.
I dog-ear every book I read, specifically bringing the corner of the page to the end of the paragraph I just read so I know my exact position in the book. I do this especially because I commute frequently and I can't always finish the chapter in time before I need to get off at my stop.
Neil Gaiman can be good sometimes.
Cormac McCarthy is the greatest living American writer at the moment. I don't think we'll see him finish his final book though unless if he lives to 109 years.
Marlon James is fantastic and you're missing out on something special if you haven't read A Brief History of Seven Killings.Graphic novels have literary merit.But not capeshit comics.

aside from national literature, that rarely gets posted here, pretty much all I read is what I see here on /lit/, I almost never look for things out of here. However, the books I select from here always end up being great
Books about sexual relations in the family.
+10 points for classic literature.
Ada, or Ardor.
Oedipus Rex
