I'm still holding on the the likely false hope that he's got one more tome in him. He's probably already dead, though, and we won't hear about it for years.

shouldn't we make him a happy birthday card or something? if it is spread on the interwebs he may see it

he'll be fine

Why did you replace the actual chart with your pathetic attempt at shilling your book, Susanna Clarke?
People like you who rely on deceptive techniques instead of talent and hard work will never make a name for themselves, Suze.

Yeah seriously, my dude, hated it. One of the most boring 200 something pages of my life. My sister kept telling me it was great so I kept going. Am I a pleb and just missed something, or is it utter tripe?

yes
A minority of poets has like 3 or 5 good poems at most. The vast majority has none. Some, maybe a dozen, has ten or more. That means that in the whole history of poetry, more than 2.000 years, you'll find like two hundred great poems. 200 poems, that's what you should look for when you read poetry.
And follow Pound's advice, although every epic poem is boring as fuck, they have some punti luminosi. Look for them too.

I've read the synopsis and have heard about it being discussed due to the show coming out. What do you guys think about it? How do you think about it compared to other dystopian novels?

Hey /lit/.
I wanna fucking die.
Like, i plan on killing myself tonight.
I need books. Books on killing yourself, books to hammer home nihilism, or books that would make me choose life.
I want to die as i lived; locked in my room, chugging jameson and reading literature.

I'll never avoid feeling unfulfiled and see my pathetic momets of happiness fluttering by.
Read books that have nothing really to do with what you are looking for.

The real question is how you avoid these works even assuming a typical burger community college education
>>
>>9486019
Most of us are in STEM. I have never met another STEMbro in real life that's even read Shakespeare let alone any of these (in fact since most of my colleagues are Chinese, they haven't heard of him when I've mentioned him)
>>
>>9486019
It's easy nowadays, because colleges are all about brushing away the "old, dead, white guys" and giving students absolute trash like Oscar Wao.

Weight lifting has been shown in some studies to increase IQ

She looks nice. The more jacked I got the dumber and friendlier I became

After I started lifting, eating right and losing weight, nothing else in my life changed.
Being healthier and feeling better is beneficial in itself. But it isn't a panacea.
