This is perhaps one of the most beautiful things I have ever read.

/Lit/ please give me a list of 10 must read books written by Female Authors
Please avoid woman hate without citing the author and the book you read that you hate.
Frankenstein, Pride and Prejudice
Women are beneath me in every face of life
Consider these:
Maya Angelou - I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
Harper Lee - To Kill A Mockingbird
Virginia Woolf - To The Lighthouse
Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice
Charlotte Brontë - Jane Eyre
George Eliot - Middlemarch
Margaret Atwood - Wilderness Tips (she's written a lot of shit, this is the only thing that I've liked)
Louisa May Alcott - Little Women
That's as many that I think I could do. Maybe some more Jane Austen.
Is there a more boring and unrewarding author than hemingway? Why is he so revered?
Because he led an interesting life and then shot himself. That's about all it takes.
muh masculinity
I shot myself, means im interesting... duuhh herr
has there ever been great married couples that were both great literary figures as well?
The great pairs tend not to actually get married. Abelard and Heloise as well as Sartre and Beauvoir come to mind.
>>9045464
Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning are the first example that comes to mind
>>9045464
Whitman and a little boy
No memeing now, what's your all-time favorite book and why?
Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle just by how much it helped me in life
>>9045435
>>9045422
count of monte cristo. took me out of the dark ages and kept me safe and whole during a fucked up part of my life.
Any other authors who are incredibly fuckable?
(pic related is stephanie meyer)
Rimbaud
Camus
Kerouac
Steinbeck
Zizek
Tell me all about the sexual scenes you wrote in your stories.
>>9045403
Sure. It involves your mom and my diary, desu.
>>9045403
Unlike life here - less is more. The best sex is suggested between two scenes.
Sex scenes like fight scenes are all about buildup and the intensity of the emotion that goes into the action, not the action itself.
I had six sex scenes, all of them were basically magical sex and more of a sensual meditative experience instead of play by play sexual contact.
I figured that magic sex was the best way to do it because everyone ends up making it that way anyways where there's something vague going on and then penis boob.

wasn't one thread enough, slynxposter?
I would've just made this one but I was at work earlier.
Are the Drizzt books worth reading?
If you are 12
>>9045235
This. If you are 10-14, big yes. If you are 18+, big no. Between those ages I'm not sure.
>>9045243
And personally, I wish I could momentarily regress to a mental 12 year old to enjoy the Drizzt books again.
Is it worth a read?
>>9045112
Yes, if you're in 8th grade. Otherwise I'd just read a plot synopsis, considering the fact that it is a culturally relevant novel. But if you're into dystopianism, check out We by Yevgeny Zamyatin.
No. It's the sort of thing that's been taken out of context and elevated to meme status so hard by normies and Redditors that there's no possible way it can deliver.
yes. well written, imaginative, and I enjoyed the whole philosophy in regard to thoroughly breaking down the protag and making him betray his ideals and reality. .
and it's concise.
Are there any right-wing interpretations of Hegel?
>>9045069
Are you attempting to find evidence to validate your ideology instead of just interpereting hegel with an open mind?
>>9045081
I think he's trying to bait Stirnerposters
lately there are leftists on a scramble to piece a puzzle they can't get because they have sworn their souls to a specific schema. pretty spooky if you ask me
What went wrong?

Oprah.

As in, what caused the apocalypse? Who cares?
Hello what are some books with characters that survive on their wits and instincts, regarding memory-based themes like amnesia, schizophrenia, etc?
