He's not wrong though

Well it's not actually literature, it's theology.

It is a pretty beastly work, though. I think it's on par with the Summa.

I read Confessions expecting a saintly work, and it was Augustine complaining he loves to beat the pussy up too much, and then crying and thanking God for allowing him to not want to beat the pussy up as much anymore The City of God must be the Ozma of repressed sexuality manifesting as bumming young boys (boipu$$y ain't pu$$y).

>>9466275
yeah it's kind of sad augustine is the same as the buddha in that he was a normie who hammered vag all his life, then when he got old and his t dropped a notch, he decides to become all uptight and lecture everyone on how hammering vag is bad, it's like fuck off normie

Do it anyway.

Really? What's it about? I'm interested to hear about what sort of stuff people are writing about. I'm hesitant to share my own idea, for some reason.

I guess one of the biggest things that got me interested in writing something like this is that a couple weekends ago, I saw a friend of mine reading some stuff off FictionPress. I said that I didn't know people actually read that stuff, and a bunch of my other buddies all claimed that they did too on occasion.

They said that they liked how uninhibited and "retarded" it can get at times.

I have written huge amounts of My Little Pony fanfiction.

>The wife of Hephaestus changing between poems
Proof please, sould like horse shit.

>>9466028
"And Hephaestus, the famous Lame One, made Aglaea, youngest of the Graces, his buxom wife." from Theogony of Hesiod.

Or, this one:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hephaestus#Consorts_and_children

What's more confusing is that sometimes it's described as him marrying Aglaea after divorcing Aphrodite, but the Iliad predates the Odyssey, both in plot and writing, and it is in the Iliad he is married to Aglaea.

>>9466043
I was looking for the reference in the Iliad, I know the cucking story is in the Odyssey.

Poetry isn't conductive to egoism due to the very method it is created by. Actually, egoism itself is unconductive to art, because all artists are constantly surrendering themselves to a higher purpose to create their works.

get out of the 19th century you dope

Not always, but you have to master the rules before you can break them.

If you want to write a feel good dumb dumb mediocre comedy for children then these are excellent rules, but take it from me that Dostoevski didn't follow them.

>>9465837
You are not Dostoevsky though.

Hamsun, Hunger.

Not a book but "On Dumpster Diving“, by Lars Eighner is a good essay.
