Not a problem. I researched Tara's case and wrote a story based on her
Anyways so you thread didn't kill
Something for nothing:
Does anyone remember a book that was based on mice who adventure through a cheese shop? It was a very nice read when I was in elementary school. I think they escape at one point or something
Recommend literature that focuses on courage, honor, or the nature of masculinity. Also, books that have a gritty, masculine feel to them.

Did you enjoy this /lit/?
i liked it a little
i will probably eventually read the whole thing because i am a filthy scoundrel plebeian wastrel who crawls in the lowest dirt like an impoverished worm
I know the world builing is one of the best parts, but are the characters good? I don't know why, but I feel like they are going to feel shallow if I read it.
If you had to recommend one book, which one would it be?
The King James Bible
The Golden Bough, Sir Jame Frazer.

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
Why am I so concerned about the length of a book while reading it. Even if I am enjoying it, I always glance at the page number or check how close I am to the end. I never feel totally absorbed. Is there anyway I can stimulate this?
I feel the same way anon. I think we're just brainlets

A lot of people have this problem. I used to have this problem when I was younger and wanted to be able to say I read a book. It's just a habit that can be broken. You're just going to have to practice concentration. I broke it by visualizing everything I read in descriptive passages, and in intellectual passages, just concentrating on understanding the entire argument, going back again and again until I understood exactly what the author was trying to communicate. At first you'll be checking yourself to make sure you're not paying attention to the page number, and thus paying attention to it. You might even feel like you're going nuts and you'll never be able to think about anything but page numbers while you read. But ff you practice this other way of reading, or your own version of it, just making sure that you are concentrating solely on the text, you'll learn to fall into the book and pay no heed to the number of pages left. I promise that it will work, but it takes intense concentration. You'll soon be interrupted in your reading by trying to turn the page and realizing that there's nothing left.

maybe you can turn off page count on some e-readers but i don't know really desu flemeli

Recommendations for crime novels?
>>9968775
six four by hideo yokoyama. im sure by now someone is gonna call me out for shilling that fucking novel, but fuck you. 800 pages and worth it. its slow but it holds your hand. you never get lost with characters, which i loved considering a lot of crime novels seem to throw characters around and just leave you to memorize them like you are about to take a test. the twist is one of a kind.
>>9968775
in my experience crime novels are a meme. Most are about the investigators personal drama with a tacked on killer who has psych 101 issues and a puzzle that makes heavy rain look good

Crime and Punishment

Love yourself.

Do what I did - transition from fantasy to historical fiction (still has big sword battles), and from there to actual history.
Who the fuck edited this? It has great world building but god DAMN at least half of the words could've been cut.
Neckbeards like pendantic masturbation. Martin delivers.
