Have any good book on it?

Poetry is the most retarded art form holy shit, at least write fiction

Emily Dickinson. Because she did absolutely everything she wanted to do, and more, anonymously. Also, was brilliant enough to see to it that History provide her the perfect cover. Also, in a slyboots kind of way, she was hot. Don't let that portrait of her taken when she was 16 fool ((you)).

People dont see the point of being mature, active parts of society anymore. They'd rather live in a fantasy world, the kind in which they can deny they are responsible adults.

I think the better question is "how do people become so delusionally obsessed with arbitrary hierarchies of value that they feel justified in criticizing others' literary choices when they spend a bulk of their time posting funny pictures on a Hungarian cheese-making platform"

Caligraphy is handwriting. You mean "typography"

I am so sorry, i'm trying to watch my spelling, for I am just a french pleb.

There's a fashion board and also a graphic design board, whuch deals with most things relating to fonts.

>writing out a character's thoughts in italics

I thought that special brand of sloppiness was restricted to fan fiction before I tried reading this.

it depends on how big your dick is

>>9334946
depends on how often you try to recall what it was in those books

>>9334946
I wouldn't worry about it. Long before your memory overflows, you'll realize that most books aren't worth remembering.

>>9334929
Read good literature. Okay, you're not going to bother with that.

In which case, read John Gardner's Art of Creative Writing, which is both actually good and deals with plot. Page it from libgen.

well understand that trying to write a game narrative is completely different than trying to write a regular narrative.

Books are on a line, while games are on a grid.
read up on ludo-narratives and basic story arcs and try to reconcile them

>>9334942
Dumb. Games are different, but they're not "on a grid".

He already knows that anyway. Read his post -- he knows what he's writing for.

Btw OP -- personally I'm a fan of the whole doomed-by-fate thing. Works really well in games.

>>9334903
Yes.

>>9334903
No.

>>9334903
Maybe.

He's more like a television-tier public figure than a writer.

Cute picture though

That's a real desperate attempt at looking intelligent.

It says a lot about the state of the left in West today when Zizek is one of the most famous leftist philosophers.

He is, quite frankly, intelectually empty.

Nobody speaks esperanto.

Speaking one language is fine. There are mountains of books to read in English alone.

I work with architects every day, and yes.

Yes. People are interested in profits above all, almost nobody cares about aesthetic qualities of a building as long as it's not completely ugly. Those few who do go to retarded starchitects who in turn build awful afunctional pomo trash with a rare exception. The profession will soon die out and be replaced by civil engineers completely.

Also atonality is shit.

pleb shit for pleb shits

Oh look everyone a clever person. I bet he goes to university and only reads philosophy. People like you make me sick.

I enjoyed it a fair bit, though I don't really understand why it is considered so "essential" or "magnificent". To be frank I find it next to impossible to comprehend humour in a book so maybe that's where I'm missing out, though I did like the concept of the Tralfamadorians and it did make me feel a bit nostalgic about my uncle, who used to always talk about different planets and how he'd go to Pluto when he dies. Probably the thing I liked most though was Vonnegut's humility when it came to writing a a character, as you say, Billy Pilgrim was just an ordinary person who couldn't pull any fancy tricks or snarky responses but rather made things more difficult for people, and in a manner that I'm sure most could relate to. It was also an interesting twist on war-themed literature in general in regards to time travel.
