I'm trying to use #bookz but the link in the sticky seems to assume a lot of pre-knowledge
I'm not sure what channels are, although I remember the previous sticky (before the board split) had way more information on how to access these channels.
Can someone help me out? I'm running through more e-books than I can afford. Thanks in advance

this is so well written. how is this considered high-school lit when the beauty of the prose would probably go over teenagers' heads?

Because the themes are easily digestible and everyone and their brother has read it.

Gotta have something for the youth to strive to understand instead of just spoon feeding them young adult shit. Also kids aren't stupid, they're just not experienced, and lit is something that takes time to really appreciate.

Of course it is. Actually books on story rarely fails to give you at least some nuggets.

That's literally the Oedipal structure. Freud meme'd it into reality so you can write as many books on Father/ Son conflicts as you like because it's "innate"

How do I fix my attention span
The internet has demolished what ever was left of my attention span; I read books on my computer, so I instinctively alt-tab to /lit/ or whatever I was browsing prior to reading. I can barely read a chapter before I alt-tab to my web-browser.
How do I disciple myself and rewire my brain to not seek instant gratification?

Easy. Cancel your internet. Use the library when you absolutely have to use it.

I'm about to take a course on Victorian Lit., and my professor just emailed me the list of books that we're going to read for the quarter; no explanations or introductions included, just a list.
There are eight novels here. Is she expecting me to attend the first day of class having already read all of these?

No but maybe the first one. I imagine it'll be a book a week.
>>
>>9937558
No, those are just the books you'll be reading over the course of the semester.
Here's a more valuable response: learn to stop being a sperg who is too backwards to email his prof with a question. You'll get more out of your education that way.
What books are on the list?
>>
>>9937558
Should give us that list, senpai.

Are fantasy and sci-fi books worth reading? If so, what are some good starting point for a complete newbie into those two genres? I've been thinking about reading Do Androids Think of Electric Sheep, but I'm tempted to just watch Blade Runner instead. Also, the only fantasy series I've really only read was unfortunately Harry Potter, so I really want to see much more of what the genre is capable of.

lower-case is the default of modernist vers libre.

What do you mean by modernist vers libre?
Modernism as a movement is not vers libre. The central modernist ...Pound, Yeats, Stevens etc. Used , even if in deviation from, numerous poetic structures, meters ,etc.
>>
>>9937511
free verse written in the modernist period. you know like the kind marquis was making fun of or the parisian hacks that harry crosby loved.
