It's ace, anon! Some great info in it.

What are you writing on?

Do you think Joshi is worth reading? Is there really that much to say about Lovecraft?

>>9267604
He feared everything that was alien to him. This is actually why his creatures often look like and relate to sea life. He hated animals living in water.

You could do like Flaubert, read them out loud, even shouting when needed, make it alive. Even better, have a small audience when doing this. It certainly seems weird but after all it can be a nice moment with a few close friends.

let's see some more flexible girls.

>>9267230

>the end

Those who commit the sin of treachery are damned to the lowest circle of hell.

>>9267307
That answers that, i suppose.
Although i don't think treachery and dishonesty is quite the same thing. I don't even think dishonesty an lies are quite the same.

>>9267420
Well treachery is using someones trust against them. Although in this case its not really hurting anyone, so I guess you're just deceiving them?

SAS survival manual?

>>9266863
You should really ask /out/. They would have the best information/advice.

>I have decided to live the rest of my life in the wilderness in order to become stronger, both mentally and physically.
spoiler alert it isn't.

That sounds fucking terrible, why would you want to read that again?

>>9266700
It's been stuck in my head for weeks now and I can't find it, I don't know why either

The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams.

>>9266503

You understand that literary theory doesn't intend to create art but to understand already created art.

Right?

>>9266514

You understand that "understanding art" has infinite possible interpretations and the ability to make unfalsifiable claims about art can be done by anyone, right?

You realise that the alleged special ability of certain people to "understand art" is not an ability that can be tested and authority is perpetuated through citation rings and social structures, right?

You understand that a possible sign that someone's version of literary theory is better than someone else's is that they can successfully create popular (either through numbers of people or diversity of fans) literature, right?

>grown out of lit

Yes, you have. Now fuck off.

>>9266403
It's just about the demented nature of human desire and relationships desu

>>9267393
Also the way power positions impact them (same anon)

Do your own homework. Think for yourself, faggot.

I spend most of my time on 4chan which probably does not bode well for my intelligence...

But the person you spend the most time with is yourself

>you're the average of the five people you spend the most time with
What a weird arbitrary blanket statement

she is very well known if you're not a pleb

Why is she known at all. Dumb writer imho

>Is there anything about them that make them inherently worse than actually reading a book?

Yeah a ton, chief among them is that audio is far more continuous form of communication in which propositions flow at an uninterrupted and connected stream.
Whereas in writing every proposition is available in clearly divisible representations of concepts available to you in any chose pace you wish to take. It allows one to think more critically and analyse the nature and implications of a given expression where in aural comprehension you have far less opportunity for such consideration.

It depends from there what type of book you are dealing with, but for instance the idea of trying to listen to serious philosophy is laughable.

>>9265771
I love them when I'm working. They're perfect for my concentration, so I find them on youtube- but finding ones where I like the narrator is kind of tough.

I get the feeling Audiobooks were actually made for that reason, for people to consume books while they're too busy to actually read it themselves, which is nice.

It's also comfy- sometimes I put one on even if I have time. It just feels nice to have someone read to you like you're a little kid again.

Anyway, yeah sure they're fine. Everyone absorbs information differently- so they're probably actually better for people who are auditory learners, but I still prefer reading.

>>9265800
has a point, but in the end, information is information and if absorb it, then it doesn't really matter how.

>>9265816
See there you are wrong and completely naive. Reading is not merely a passive receptive act, its a productive act. You're not merely accepting information but are producing an interpretation and analysis of it. To this ends writing is indisputably more effective when it comes to complex propositions.

Though I don't hold anything against them for experiencing most fiction where they may indeed be better for you

90% of every book or story ever

love is a spook

if you pursue a relationship for any reason other than reproduction or a political alliance you are a degenerate and should be gassed on sight
