Make sure you know what a sonnet it and what kind you're trying to write. I mean, a Petrarchan with a volta at line 9 or a Shakespearean with a couplet at the end. Respect the metre, also.

chink shit has no meaning. I am convinced that chinks literally don't have a soul, or at the very least, they don't appear to have one
they're all shallow fawning retards
Their culture indoctrinates them into eating the asshole of the rest of the heard- so to speak- and being incapable of free choice. We know it's their culture because when a chink grows up in the West, they're actually an individual

chink cultures are some of the most putrid shit cultures to exist. You know how sometimes retarded people get annoying and you wish they would die, that's all of chink culture

Will it turn me into this?

A rambling mess of incoherence, claiming to be a science without having any understanding of what science is.

The answer to both is Michael Walsh/David Kahane's The Devil's Pleasure Palace.

I've already read that, looking for more stuff but I agree a good addition especially in terms of culture.

Where is she heralded as extremely complex?

I always saw her as a very shallow, out of control, con artist.

Why couldn't they be together? Was it really just his impotence that was stopping them?

Brett says something like "you couldn't live with me cheating on you with everybody".

Also has anybody ever heralded her as complex...?

I used it as a term to encapsulate multiple opinions, anon. Get your head out of your ass.

I dropped it at page 250 or so, he is a good writer but "muh aristocracy problems" isnt my cup of tea. Should I check out any of his other works?

I fixed his autism.

I was indifferent. I would read everything that was in front of me but ultimately I always had vidya (not that i saw them in opposition). It wasn't until i was 17 that i started buying and reading books on my own.

Of course everything related to English classes was nonsense.

I read mostly fantasy books and pulpy horror stories when I was young. It was only until the latter half of high school that I began to really care about more demanding literature. It would have been nice to have been exposed to a more classical education before that point but I'm not so sure my interest would have ever been as earnest were it forced upon me like that.

I had some bad experiences, but i thought that if there were awesome movies there had to be awesome books.
And then my mom brought me to local library and there was horror, action and everything. It was amazing to read about blood, guts and struggle after all those boring books.

pretty please?

I've read Giles Goatboy and Lost in the Funhouse. Funhouse was more accessible if you're into that.

It's like a less reliable version of wikipedia.

From what I understand most of the shit in it is of a juvenile understanding of politics.
And a lot of the "recipes" don't work.

Also when the guy grew up he saw how dumb it was and denounced it.

>>9316611
Actually, the original from the 70s had legitimate recipes for drugs and explosives that mostly worked. The popular ones that were traded online in the 90s and early 00s were edits of the original with different recipes that mostly did not work.
