I finished it last week and i want to discuss it.
What where you're favourite chapters?
Favourite characters?
Got any questions? (or better yet, an answer to mine?)
My favourite parts were:
the narrator explaining why castorp is a mediocre boy.
The first discussion between Settembrini and Naptha.
The part where the x-ray pictures get taken.
The end of the brave soldier.
Arrivining on the mountain.
The snow dream.
The ''Thunderstorm.''
Where the hell did Madame Chauchat go after the whole affair with Mr. Peeperkorn?
Haven't enjoyed a book this much in a long time t.b.h.

I've read the book last summer, it was an amazing ride. It's extremely comfy (at least until shit really starts hitting the fan in the second half).
>Where the hell did Madame Chauchat go after the whole affair with Mr. Peeperkorn?
I have no idea.
>>
>>9192935
I like how Mann lulls the reader into this comfortable slumber along with Castorp, making Settembrini's talks feel so important and elevated, that by the time it starts going down you want Hans to be able to stay in his soft, dreamlike existense.
>>
>>9192973
Yeah, that's definitely great.
My favorite moment is probably the one where Castorp and Chauchaut talk for the first time.

So guys, aren't you tired of such retarded comments?
>Attempts to build it went sour, but their faults are not that of communism itself.
Why if a commie says that it's ok and if a fascist wants to retrieve fascism but fixing its worst aspects it's not ok? Where's the flaw?
Is there any literature that envisages a return of Communism or Fascism in today's world and tries to analytically imagine the scenery and the implications?

Can we discuss this, /lit/? The occasional beautiful passage, but since the Quinten chapter I have very little clue who is speaking, the setting, why all the grammar and syntax is fucked, etc.
I understand some of the chaos is due to his fleshing out the stream-of-consciousness technique, but I find this book to be almost too disjointed and capricious to enjoy.
Did you like? What'd you take from it?

I enjoyed it immensely. Once you stop forcing temporal continuity it becomes a pretty easy read.

>>9192282
Quentin's chapter is all him, he frequently is reminded of mundane moments with Caddy and his failed masculinity, he desires everything to be full of order and purity. When the one person he puts on a pedestal fails him it destroys every single value he had left. There's a 90% chance I'll end up just like Quentin emotionally so his whole part really got me.

Any advice, tutorials, books?

1. Reading a screenplay should not feel like you’re reading a screenplay. Scene to scene, it should feel like a real-time transcript of an event.
2. Description is fine when it’s necessary...But always be economic with your words. You want the reader to read down the page, not across it.
3. Do not direct the script by detailing camera instructions or character performances.
4. What do we (the audience) see & hear, without actually writing “We see...” “We hear...”
5. Use active verbs.
6. Omit and delete every scene in which characters are voluntarily decapitated to create snuff porn.
7. Don’t even attempt to write scenes in which a character is voluntarily decapitated to create snuff porn.
8. Keep a dairy farm.
9. Keep a diarrhea fart.
10. Keep a daybook of personal happenings.

>1. Reading a screenplay should not feel like you’re reading a screenplay. Scene to scene, it should feel like a real-time transcript of an event.
I don't entirely agree with this. Screenplays are blueprints for a movie and are often quite technical and stunted. They don't always read well because they're not supposed to be read a lot of the time. Having said that you're right that they shouldn't be too heavy on direction either.

According to private correspondence Harris' IQ has been professionally assessed as too high to quantify (over 200).
Sam could easily win a Nobel prize in physics, a fields medal in mathematics and become the world chess champion in his spare time.
Instead Sam has taken it upon himself to solve THE MOST important problem the human race has ever encountered. How to scientifically quantify goodness. Harris is in the process of using science to finally resolve all moral philosophy, not even Plato, Jesus or Kant could accomplish this.
Sam is bringing a paradigm shift of rationality to the political realm, his works will be studied for as long as humanity continues to exist, an existence largely owing to Harris' accomplishments.
Frankly I am just happy to be alive to witness such an intellectual colossus.
Why does he threaten so many people on lit?

No. None of these activities is writing and they won't take you closer to being a fiction writer.

Very simple difference:
movies are for normies
movies make normies even more stupid than they already are

books usually make people smarter
