Not exactly in favour, but if you're interested in the current state of democracy in the world, check out Joshua Kurlantzick's Democracy in Retreat, about the decline of developing nations in the 2000s after a decade of relative peace and hope of development in the 1990s.

Are there any novels focused on it because I want to write about it but maybe some has done it better already and would like to read about it anyway.

For native speakers of English, is it not better that we start with Shakespeare and the King James Bible rather than the Greeks?

No. It's good inside cover art, but I can't remember ever using them. I've tried, but you have no connection to the place, or the names, so it just ends up being jumbled nonsense. I'm sure some people use them,if they're autistic enough, but honestly, where the characters are doesn't actually matter. Each scene happens within the setting. It doesn't matter if the setting is west of Jambala or north of Kendra.

Why not? I mean it is a fun exercise in creativity but that is about it.

Of course she wrote all of Harry Potter. It's garbage, though.

I'm really considering a bohemian-loser lifestyle as the way to go. Like, don't ever marrying or having kids (which would most likely grow fucked up by the care of a mentally unstable father), renting some small and shitty apartment, sleeping on a mattress, feeding on pasta, rice and some chicken every now and then, delighting in the books I bought when I lived with my pops, in writing, in cheap alcohol, in the sporadic use of other drugs and in the Internet. I'd get money from shit like textbroker, maybe some lesser literary contests, smuggling small quantities of drugs (if I get caught with this one I wouldn't have to face a nigger infested prison since our jails, criminals and convicts ain't like those of you americans. I would have quite of a chill time if locked up) if necessary.
I'm useless and depressive. Both of my med-taking pops are chronically depressed and so seem to be me and my brother, so I guess we and our offspring are cursed. I cannot get myself to put any work on anything I don't want to. Only things I enjoy are art and drunkness, and I don't want to go through the struggles that getting into the market after I finish my useless degree will imply, while all my ambitions are having the time and calm to read on shit I'm interested on and, luckily, give birth to some decent writing.
Opinions or advices?

Bumpin on this bih
I hate how society tells me I have to read 500 Western canon books or else I'm dumb.
I hate how I'm not allowed to follow my own interests in reading. People love books because they offer a discrete experience and people love completion.
Why can't people just let me read what I find interesting? I think there is a large intellectual component to boredom and interest.

when you're writing what do you do in this situation?
>a STD
>an STD
because S is spelled 'ess' which is a vowel?

S is no vowel. therefore it's "a STD"
>>
>>9476075
An. Go with the sound of the word or the acronym considering how it's pronounced.
An hour. A history. Same letter but dependent on the sound. Why not google this?
>>
Always go by pronunciation. It's 'an STD'.

When does a novel becomes "too complex" that it just turns bad because of it?
Is there such thing as "too complex"?
5 Posts / 1 Images

There are no limits to art or expression. You could ask when a novel becomes too complex for its readership, or too complex to have a readership at all.
>>
>>9476034
But how can we tell the difference between complexity for the sake of being complex and meaningful complexity?
>>
>>9476028
Yes.
See: Works by Pynchon/DFW.
Then: Realize that this exclusionary complexity is why /lit/ likes these works and authors.
