How many of you fuckers are actually trying to write a novel?
>>9851323
I thought I was but every time I sit down to do it my mind goes blank. It's too big. Organization tips?
i am. if i ever get published and put on a bestseller list you can guarantee that i will let it slip somehow that i post here. if my work continues to do well then i'll use my connections to get as many of you published as i can. because i honestly think you're a great bunch of folks who care more about literature than any MLA committee we at /lit/ are a literary movement waiting to happen.

>trying to write a novel?

Aren't you a little too old to be reading fantasy books, Anon?
Do you recommend me this book?
I read some parts in a pdf and the style didn't hooked me, but a lot of people love it and regard it as a classic of the century.
I don't know really; I guess I am saying something like will be the drag worth it?
i listened to some parts in audiobook and it was dank as fuck, so dank in fact that i had to stop the audio and save it to read off the page
>>9851277

>>9851277
I picked this up off a buddy. Cracked it open, smelled super kill, started reading it, dank as fuck. So dank I had to save it and use the pages as rolling papers for my dank ass doobies.
This is my first post on /lit/. I'm guessing you guys are about 50/50 divided between Stephen King fans and Stephen King haters.
>>9851234
stephen who?
>>9851234
For every 1 good thing he's written, he's written probably 20 bad things.
>>9851234
Haha yeahb uddy yolu really hit the number... the number to PISS me off...If there's one thing we all hate it's steven king. he s worse than JK Rowling, or "JK Roastie" as I like to call her. Stefen King is a hack of the highest order. Your post was very offensive to me and all my /lit/ friends, we're on the /lit/ discord right now talking about how were goinna make your 4chan like a living hell...you're gonna wish you used reddit when we;re done with you...

Bottom's Dream might be just what you're looking for

I hang out with people that don't read, let along talk about books.
Also I hate looking through book stores, so I prefer word of mouth.
Also i'm looking for unknown books like it.
I want to become Eddie Morra, what do i read?

Economics is a pseudo science, kid. If you want to study an actual science, go STEM.

Thoughts on verbs?

Not as bad as adverbs. The faggots of the lit world.

If you could bring only one book to an empty island, what would it be?
In Search of Lost Time so I can have enough paper to wipe my ass without having to rely on leaves or some shit like that.
Werther, so I could pontificate to an imaginary audience about what I interpret parts of the book meaning.
...I already do that.
Swiss Family Robinson because it is actually a survival guide.
If your favorite book doesn't have a Newbery Medal award, is it really your favorite book?
Idolatry credentials are a marketing tool, and a soft kill to make sure authors stay within the lines.
But it did win a Newbery medal.
>>9850586
You're just mad your book favorite didn't get a medal.
i am depressed. nothing makes me happy or interested. i can't imagine majoring in something or having a career doing anything. are there any books that could potentially remind me there are exciting new things to live for or show me interesting things i could learn about or explore. everything just feels boring and like there is nothing to it. i am desperate so i am posting my best picture too

Go back to /r9k/, you fucking loser
sage and report
If you are white you should try to explore the racial consciousness that has been suppressed within you through schooling and media and socially outlawed or disincentivized. That will give you more meaning than anything else ever could.

Try the short story by Melville called Bartleby, the Scrivener.
