I'd honestly just buy them all if I were you. You'll probably end up liking one of them.

awww man you aren't shilling audible this week? kindles are shitty and tablet sales have been declining for 13 straight quarters. people will be more receptive to audible, sure they torrent a lot but eventually they'll sign up for an audible account when some great book they want isn't on any trackers, meanwhile the margins are tiny on the kindle and most kids will just download shit that's out of copyright or pirate mobis, don't get me wrong, amazon stock is sky high so obviously whatever you guys are doing is working, but is the kind really the best product to promote on /lit/? i feel like audible is a better fit, i'd push the kindle in genre fic communities more than here

Are they worth it? Of course not.

It's hard to tell how much this board has changed in that amount of time. I'm not sure if I accurately remember it very much or if my memories have been distorted. I remember DFW and Joyce posting dominated. This board seems to cycle between NEET friendly to NEET hatred. At that time it was very NEET friendly.

I came to lit during a period of heavy DFW and Pynchon posting. As it happens, I was lucky enough to almost be done with IJ before coming here so I wasn't tainted. The other day I remembered a phase this board went through but I can't remember it now... I wish I could though

Watch all these videos:
https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/world-history/history-beginnings/origin-humans-early-societies/v/history-and-prehistory
I would recommend a book on world history but haven't studied it much, maybe google search essential world history or college history textbooks.

Has anyone else noticed a phenomenon where you think something is bad or amateurish when it's posted to a crit thread, but if it was something you'd read on a PDF or a physical book you would have liked it? I'm not talking exclusively about the published poems/short stories posted on here for a reaction. Is there something about where you see a piece of creative writing that influences what you think of it?
DESU there's a lot of published things ive read that sound like they belong on here, and vice versa, but idk if any of you guys think the same.

How do you say his name, I've heard everyone saying 'Key-hotee' but in the book it says his name rhymes with biscuit, so it whould be 'Quicks-oat'

The Spanish pronunciation is Key-Otee, and the traditional English pronunciation was Quick-soat, though these days most English speakers use the Spanish pronunciation and quick-soat is rather old-fashioned

What about the traditional Spanish pronunciation? Didn't that used to include the "h" sound?
The one who no one called prince
He took another step as he was continuing to feel extremely cold, walked across the room and stood in the corner with his head slightly turned facing the window. It was raining outside, so that could be his excuse for spending another night like this. He used to feel let down when he saw the rain but now the rain brought a sense of relief to him. As if he could falsely justify his behavior to himself when it was raining. He thought about going out and talking a walk besides the river but he decided not to since he had a cold. he then walked away from the corner and went out of his room into the kitchen. Opened the fridge and looked inside for a while, he then finally took out a jar of olives. He then proceeded to open the jar and throw every single one of the olives in the trash. He used to love them when he was a kid. His uncle would play a game with to see who could spit the olive seed the furthest. He always lost so now he couldn’t stand them anymore. He couldn’t remember how the jar even got in his fridge since he would never buy olives anyway. He stared then at the empty jar and filled it with his tears. Meaningless tears but at least he was feeling a little sorry for himself. A little empathy for a change. “Why didn’t I never pick up the contrabass?” he asked himself gingerly. I don’t know but prince Bumbok was a man of her word and would do anything that she ever wished for. Even, if it meant buying olives.
