Nick Land fanboy @AngloRemnant just put out this piece on Jacobite about the coming demise of the female sex and its replacement by capital. A pretty good piece.

Getting in first so I can edit my response later in what will surely be a hot thread.

You can't edit 4chan posts.
It is mandatory to have at least 6 Nick Land threads on /lit/ at any given time.

Lol dumb EOP. Those Central Anime fansubs for LOGH are really inaccurate. I hope you're happy understanding very little of the dialogue.

if i bought us a warehouse in a mid sized us city, would you guys come read and write in it - you guys could each have a loft after proving some basic points of literacy/education
we can have a bar/cafe on the first floor to shell peanuts and shoot the shit
youd need to furnish/buy food urselves
>>9837257

Depends what city, if it's an hour away from Los Angeles i'd be so up for it.
How come most people feel that the Odyssey is better, and a more influential work than the Iliad? It's a more traditional story, but I feel the themes in the Iliad are much more far-reaching and wide compared to those in the Odyssey. Both books are absolutely brilliant, but I firmly feel that The Iliad > The Odyssey.

>How come most people feel that the Odyssey is better, and a more influential work than the Iliad?
Only /lit/ hipsters think this. There is a reason there are 10 Iliad quotes for every Odyssey quotes in Plato and Aristotle.
odyssey is very womanly and /lit/ is full of fucking PUSSIES who dont get fully erect when diomedes wounds BOTH aphrodite and ares

What does /lit/ think of annotations? I talked to some smart kids that say they hate them and find them a chore to do...despite the fact the teacher thinks we love doing them because we actually do the work.
Its summer now (obviously) and i have a project due monday...its on Catcher in the Rye..only have half the book annotated, does anyone have tips on annotating a book fast?
In my opinion I would just half ass them, especially since kids already do that and get a good grade
>>9837195
If it's something helpful like writing in definitions for obscure words or pointing out subtle details then I'm fine with that, but scribbling in a bunch of useless shit like in that picture should be a crime.
>>9837218
yeah...we also have mandatory stuff we have to annotate for...Diction, Imagery, Ethos Pathos Logos...stuff anyone with a brain can find with writing it down

These worked well for me. Just ordered the wheelocks intermediate reader.

imagine if William Gaddis' novels were each a season in a television show and the fans had to wait for him to finish the books.
I mean, really he's right. People should stop investing in long running fantasy series if they are interested in a conclusion. They should have learned this by now.
