> Greatest book you read last year

Cervantes' Don Quixote, no doubt.

> which do you anticipate will be your favourite for this year?

I'm most excited about reading Anna Karenina or Les Miserables so I would hope they might be my favourites this year.

> Worst book you read last year

Yevgeny Zamyatin's We. Found it tedious. I understand and appreciate how it influenced 1984 (and BNW from what I've heard) but I feel those later novels polished what We struggled to convey.

> implying judging personalities isn't a 4chan-wide thing to do

where do you think you are, son

fuck you

It's fine, but not as good as any side-by-side version with the original. If you don't want to put in the time for the real thing then that one was the best of all I've tried.

please get a 'translation' w/ the original text on the verso you stupid cunt, it's not even a different language

It's your work, do what's best for you.

Read "Daily Rituals: How Artists Work" by Mason Currey. It'll give you an idea about how many approaches there are to writing and other pursuits. Hope it helps.

Thank you.

I suppose it could be done online, but only by someone dedicated enough to throw out any low-effort people and shitposters (i.e. not me)

Would it really work online though? A large part of their group was sharing their stories at the pub, reading things out loud and such.

You should read Owen Barfield-- certainly the most intetesting of the bunch.

don't do it. there's no point

the only reason they used to make magazines before the Internet was because that was the best way to distribute stories. now stories don't need to be clumped together arbitrarily, as anyone can find them on their own.

It's a bit of a shit idea, mostly because you'll just kill your ambition when it dies down after a few months (assuming you get a readership in the first place).

But if you're going to do it, try and imitate sites such as humag.co (even though their success is really just because of the physical magazine's success), and keep a Twitter & Facebook, liking and speaking to as many fellow poetry magazines as you can. Hopefully you'll get a few people to shill your website.

But, realistically, if you want to do well - try and go physical. I've seen Kickstarters go well for poetry magazines, but you'll probably have to do a bit of legwork outside, getting poetry reading groups to recommend your Kickstarter, or even convince them to run a fundraiser for you. Again, seen it done, and in a physical format your magazine is sure to reach, at least, literary circles around your area, and then you can translate that into an online magazine; managing both physical copies and online copies.

Like everything it can fail, but that's one way, I guess, of looking at it? Try and make friends with literary types, even pseuds, and get them on board with the idea, both online and in real life. If you want this to work be prepared to work like fuck.

He was depressed and his writing was an escape. An attempt to stave off suicide.

He had no 4chan to autistically shitpost like you.

Seems more like he was on the schizotypy spectrum.
Schizophrenia? Nah doesn't seem so. Schizotypal? Nah. Schizoid? Possible. Bipolar? Possible.

No. NO. Not at all. It is terrible and a waste of time and money.
Also every one in the field is a spoiled rich whore who is only there because J.K. Rowling majored in it.
I am filled with Rage.

certainly, especially when it comes to verse (there are some exceptions to this e.g. Tacitus)
Most of the brilliance of the texts are lost in translation. (the word order / grammatical constructions are so different that it is impossible to translate the meaning produced by word order, and this is only one example of the many losses in translation)

>this society is the best it could possibly be and needs to stay as it is

Also, if you actually read the book you may not make inane posts. That is not its argument at all.

bad thread, anyways

There are times when one anyway just won't do.
