>make a books thread on /pol/
>the only reply is "fuck back off to read it"
For about a year I respected those autists
Where did I go wrong?
Also political lit thread
>>9972348
>>9972348
Your first mistake was thinking people on /pol/ have ever read a book of political theory.
>>9972353
Do I need to read anything before?
you're fine, it's not too full of allusions
no it's a really easy read. pretty funny too. just pick it up.
if anything: the denial of death by ernest becker
This guy's writings are a total slog. He makes me appreciate how comfy Plato actually was. NE started out alright and now I'm halfway through book 7 and it's just so...dry. Are any of Aristotle's writings comfy? or is he just a methodical robot?
>>9972210
He is pretty much confined to the dialectic of his Organon and his four-fold causational theory. He is a methodological systematizer through and through, about as dry as it can get. Like cigarettes, it's an acquired taste.
>>9972210
What do you think philosophy is, retard?
>>9972244
Can you not comprehend how one philosopher can be dry and other not?
What do we, as a society, believe in? What are our ideals?
I don't know, dude.
Money.
>>9972130
we dont believe in anything
i believe in some things
you believe in some things
some of those things overlap and where they overlap we can voluntarily agree to work together on them
Are there any literature about Tomb of Jesus Christ in ShingÅ, Aomori?
It's been formally, officially recognized and endorsed by the State of Israel, so of course it's bullshit.
>>9972062
>is there any literature about the blue bluff i found under my bedside table.
not lit related fucktard
>>9972230
lit related because I like this myth that can be reinterpreted in some books
why are virgins so easily impressed by this drivel?
What the fummy is up with so many pretend writers? I want a GF who writes but then when we finally meet up, I find out they just wrote a fimmy poem from middle school but never did anything beyond that.
Where the heck are the actual writers? I show up to writer meetups and everyone's just a bunch of weirdo's with fim taste in mainstream content and fimmy as fummy opinions suggesting I just go write an erotica/zombie book like everyone else.
I want a WRITER GF who will write books with me and actually care what I write. Do I have to get famous first?
I try starting out as friends first with girls who claim they like writing, then they ghost me when it actually comes to talking about writing.
You might come across as autistic.
>>9971993
Writers write. People who have time for your shit are unlikely to take writing too seriously. Depending on your standards, you can always give a try with writing groups or even fucking blogs, just don't treat these as dating sites.
>>9971998
Even if that's true, that has nothing to do with them being pretend writers. They clearly have interest in me but when it's their turn to talk about writing they go silent or talk about a dumb poem from middle school. (Following up with disappearing the next day.)
Even some chicks I been talking to for WEEKS, the moment the conversation changes to writing they mumble about stuff, and mention they are not currently writing a book and then they make excuses as to why they're not writing a book and how they wish they could or they don't have talent. Then they disappear when I insist they should try writing again. (Why are they showing up to writer events if they don't write?)
>>9972009
I take writing seriously myself, but not every person is a drone. We have different personalities. Mine just happens to be a social one. But hitting the bar with people is less interesting than writing or talking about writing.
Think about it, you are shitposting on 4chan right now instead of writing your book. Clearly you are displaying how you also like engaging in discussion about writing with people.
Is it so wrong that I just get tired of talking to anonymous people on a shitty board of people who don't actually write. And I just want to meet someone IRL I can spend some days with together in a room talking about what to write next?
It's better than /lit/ the question is how to get what I want.
This word has two contradictory meanings. How is that possible lol are there any more like this?
>Nora Roberts (born Eleanor Marie Robertson on October 10, 1950) is an American bestselling author of more than 213 romance novels.
>more than 213 romance novels
>213
>romance novels
What is Nora's endgame?
and I can't even finish one
exploiting women
>>9971927
My mom and her friends read her and Grafton. My Dad reads le Carre and history texts
I am Catholic, should I read this?
if you dont want to stay that way
Eliot loved it
>>9971932
Eliot was Anglican.
I NEED books that explore similar themes to Serial Experiments Lain.
Give me all you've got
Cheers /lit/
La search for things past by Mark Prost.
You should read McLuhan, anon-san ^_^
The Invention of Morel
The Third Policeman
/lit/, what program/medium do you use to write?
Of course there are so many choices and forms that for many there is a very hard choice present. Of course we may say that paper is superior, or perhaps you think that it is important to pay for an expensive word program on your computer. Then also there is the choice of computer. Mac or PC, which can limit you or perhaps expand the amount of choices and freedom you have. So what is it for y'all? Paper and pen, clay tablet, or Word?
Why do we hate postmodernism again?
>>9971790
Because it falls on one side of an asinine 'culture war' and Jordan Peterson hates it.
And yet /lit/ still likes Pynchon and Calvino. At least not understanding it doesn't get in the way of enjoying great literature.
>>9971790
but I don't
that Peterson faggot and the alt right are giving it a bad name, but you can't takeaway the fact that it gave birth to so many good books.
Hi /lit/ can someone help me find a PDF for this book:
Belinsky, Chernychevsky, Dobrolyubov: Selected Criticism, ed. Ralph Matlaw, Dutton, 1962
It seems to be out of print, a used copy is available but its too expensive
I need the essay by Vissarion Belinski: A View on Russian Literature
Learn how to use google famalam

>>9971730
Holy shit thank you so much! I have been googling for it for quite a while now and all I was getting was adware websites.
So you just searched for "Book Title + archive.org"? Is that it?
>>9971730
Hey! The PDF is encrypted and is asking me for a password. What do I do now?
What good sources of information exist on Fascist Italy?
I have already read the Doctrine of Fascism by Gentile but I would like info on the economic strength and situation of Italy.
Other books by Gentile would also be nice
I seriously hope this doesn't degenerate into false flaggers false-flagging other false flaggers
It's an interesting topic OP and I'd also like to have reading material
>>9971665
Not sure why it would be degenerate into such a state.
Does that usually happen when Fascism is brought up?
>>9971675
Yes very consistently which is a shame
Sometimes it's people from /pol/, sometimes it's people pretending to be from /pol/. One of the main problems with this board is how quickly threads can be derailed, which I think is due to the fact that it's a slow board.
