I have amassed a large list of novels from Star Wars the novel series. I honestly don't know where to start because there are soooo many.
Is anyone here familiar with the books and what's the best novel to start out on?

None of the star wars novels are good, but the thrawn trilogy are the best.

When people say/write "the late [name]", does that always mean that that person is dead now or does it just mean he was late in his life when he did whatever is being talked about?
Sorry for not posting this in the /sqt/ but /lit/ doesn't seem to have any.

Unless they're making a dark joke it means they're dead.

And by that i mean, how fast or how slow? More than one book at a time? Do you leave them for awhile and then come back to them?
I was reading Crime and Punishment and it just dawned on me I haven't read a chapter in months. It's not that I'm uninterested, I just plain haven't picked it up. Do you think you lose something if you don't read a chapter everyday (just to use an arbitrary example, I could say 5 pages a day or something along those lines but you get the point).

I think most of the questions you asked are purely subjective, everyone will be different.
I personally enjoy reading a much more steady and balanced pace - I often go back and read entire pages again if I'm slightly confused.
>More than one book at a time?
I don't know how I feel about this topic yet, I haven't been "into" reading as long as I probably should have been, but at my current state I'd stay away from doing this, as I'm currently trying to get the most out of the books I read I really want to focus on one particular book and really dedicate myself to it.
>Do you leave them for awhile and then come back to them?
This one really depends, as mentioned I haven't been reading as much as I should have, and because of that there are obviously days were I just can't focus or just don't have the ability to read for whatever reason. I've for sure taken break-days and probably will for the foreseeable future - sometimes things just take alittle more time to sink in is all.

Depends. Usually I am reading one fiction and a couple of non-fiction. Tend to dip in and out of non-fiction as I read the bits that are relevant to my interests. I like a steady and consistent pace when reading fiction. If I end up putting a book down for an extended period then I will start it again when I come back to it.

I swear to god i there are more stupid questions on /lit/ than there are in a middle school boys locker room
How many days does it take you to decide where to eat?
Find the ability and then the confidence to think for yourself, read some pretentious French surrealist literature, and them come back here and be narcissistic and miserable like the rest of us.

You brace yourself.
Feet compelled to shift on the floor, sending a subconscious ache of counterbalance up your spine.
In another dimension simultaneous to yours, the teleological singularity takes a grip of your location, as it is want to do, and folds your desk, keyboard, and mouse into a place and time that happen to overlap with a biosynergentic compound that synchronises with electromagnetic waves pulsing through tiny sweat glands in your fingertips.
This message bridges your optic nerve, and you know that this is a moment to write that thing that you hold inside you. A necessary part hidden in your particular molecular structure that you are now compelled to press into the device. Finally, you can deliver this parcel. It is almost completely safe to do so. It is a test, of sorts, but one in which you form part of a much larger participant. You know who you are, but you do not know.
Write now. Then stop, and provide.

I've just signed up to take a class on ethics next academic quarter, so I'd like to get a little refresher/head start so as not to come into class as such a pleb.
Have you fine gentlemen any recommendations that will help me? For reference, I'm somewhat familiar with the Stoics, and a little of Spinoza.

Thanks for reminding me about these. The bookstore that I frequent carries a bunch of these near the register. I'll definitely get myself a copy.

"Your ass-of-hand is merely a trigger for my lightness-of-being to dissolve my separateness and merely watch as my body and self merge with each other and with the club-in-the-world, which becomes the club-as-the-world and delivers a lighting-of-place all over your face."

Please read this poem and tell me what you think.
Covered snug
beneath the years
under the fear
amber strings lay humming
when you are still
and I am here
we can listen to the world
whistle love
the nights come and we think black
but moons sail curious
and we are always there
the raging neon
and the shouting air
they shrink
at the stars alive
that walk through it
I've been writing poetry off and on for 3 or 4 years now and that was by no means my favorite. I pulled a random recent from my folder. I've never sought feedback for my work and lately I'm not sure how to improve. I try to experiment with different meters and perspectives but sometimes it's more basic than not. If you want some diversity I can post a few more...

Unremarkable. Trite and unimaginative. At least your conscious of meter, though obviously unversed.
Also, you're not in here, or if you are I suggest you don't admit it.

Anyone read this? So far I've really enjoyed it, one of the most interesting non fiction books I've ever read.
