You write.

You read.

You write and then you read.

Repeat.

I never really was interested in plays all that much. I only ever read Shakespeare because of school. I did really like Hamlet though.

Spookiest post on /lit/ right now imo famalam

How about you stop being a faggot and "debating" people. Just talk to them so you don't have to be third hand belligerent in a malasian rice spice symposium.
If we're not talking about the same thing, then it's really hard to have a conversation, there's nothing wrong with defining your terms.

"... a Malasian rice spice symposium..."

Kek, that really got to me.

You do have to define your terms in order to properly discuss most abstract ideas.

The pseud comment seems ironic or satiric.

your plan was "vote libertarian or republican" and there's still no chance of the welfare state being dismantled, now what you dumb fuck

Is that a list of books for every human being to avoid?

Thanks, but I knew that already.

A Recognition of Being: Reconstructing Native Womanhood by Kim Anderson

>>9369190
I actually meant why people decide to recognize things that have no being in themselves as being something.

>>9369197
Mine sounds more interesting

you cannot kill what is waiting at the end of the tunnel, moralist

"If any man should deny that saging and reporting non-/lit/ threads is necessary for salvation, that man is anathema."

>>9369127
that's not an argument

Be prepared to be bored out of your mind. Only good story is the last one.

>>9369121
That was really not good advice at all. OP, read about Joyce's relationship with Ireland and Catholicism. Also, researching Irish nationalism and the Irish revolutionary period is a good idea. The characters in each story come to some "epiphany," usually about a stagnating Ireland. If you haven't noticed, you should read about ireland (Hell, the book is called "Dubliners"). Skim Wikipedia on these things and you'll appreciate it much better than I did my first time going through it.

>>9369222
Can you give me a quick rundown on Irish nationalism? I'm tired and this wikipedia article is putting me to sleep

you're born with creativity and the kind of intelligence you're talking about, sorry. it can't be taught

>>9369060
Hopefully for you that probably means you can be a perfect wageslave.

read or study things you want to be knowledgeable. if Einstein or Da Vinci had been raised by wolves they wouldn't have amounted to what they were, don't listen to these faggots. you just need to practice.

unfortunately, if you didn't get a good education before puberty it will be harder to grasp further things, but it's not impossible anon! I believe in you.

>>9369035
It's really good, if you are interested in moral theology (and also helps if you have some notions of it) you should find it increasingly interesting with each song. However, if you don't truly care for christian thought in a certain level you may find it either boring or dense.

A goddamn treat. Highly suggest you read Aquinas along with that.

The greatest piece of literature of all time. You should really get the entire Divine Comedy though, and not just Inferno.

wtf I hate Chomsky now

>>9369096
Why?

watch Chomsky BTFO Foucault, he has no sympathy for posturing """"""""intellectual"""""""" who fill their philosophy with nonsense to sound profound.

Despite his radical political opinions, Chomsky has a rather ideologically conservative temperament. His propositions on worker-control and other anarchist principles would hold more weight maybe 100 years ago before the collapse of western culture.

However his critique of state capitalism and imperialistic tendencies is spot on.

Can't believe I said specifically three times in one minute.

I can believe that this thread is getting no replies, though.

/lit/ is mostly of the Henry Darger school of literary ambition, i.e. they intend to be published after their corpse is discovered on a bed of 10,000 pages of longhand worldbuilding.

If u are starving, find a normal job. If you want to make art, make art, and make It for yourself.
