No one from the younger generations

I believe I'm the one, just give me a couple of years and I will rally the youth to build the next era of Modern Canadian literature.

I really liked Drop City

>>9781743

I liked it too. Yet, looking back, I wonder why. The story is unrealistic and forced and the ending is over dramatic.

Stil it was a great and fun book to read. Where does that ambivalence come from?

Man I only read Water Music, absolutely loved it, what a trip.

It's interesting to me that you have read atheist books about the bible because as an atheist I haven't.
Surely the biggest argument against the bible is simply that it was a book written by men thousands of years ago and people are taking it as gospel. Especially when you read about hte deleted chapters about Jesus slaying dragons and all that fun stuff.

Lol I am endlessly amused by skeptikooks and their antics. Always top sophistry too.

Is there a definitive version of the Bible? I asked a priest what he recommended but he gave me a list that contradicted what another priest told me.

bumpo

does no one here read LITERATURE? What the heck!

>>9781444
I've heard good things about it but haven't gotten to it. Considering the fact that it's 1. A sequel to a book you enjoy 2. Written by the same author 3. With a similar setting and subject matter and 4. short, you may as well just read it

Nabby had some very strange opinions

The ancient Greeks believed beautiful people were better than ugly people, perhaps one can say the same for those with a more attuned aesthetic sense.

>>9781396
You aren't wrong, but I kind of agree with him here. That being said, I'm also slightly pretentious, condescending and have difficulty making new friends.

Dostoyevsky faced a firing squad and did some time in a gulag.

>>9781330
What did he get arrested for?

Absolute freedom is state of nature anarchy,

Absolute equality is a nihilist dystopia.

You need to define your terms before I'll think about this.

>>9781493
This.
Generally speaking, it's freedom and love that are diametrically opposed because they often refute one another.
equality is not mutually exclusive with either

>>9781239
most contemporary authors dont deal with that kind of thing. Moreso they are infected by post-modern "questioning" of points of culture, and reflect that in the uncertainty in the narrative.

One of my teachers used to bring this to school every day for me especially because I loved the spooky holographic illustrations in the book.

Is metro actually good though?
I picked up a copy for 50 cents used but I haven't bothered yet.

>>9781033
not really. Just genre fiction with a somewhat interesting eastern spin.

>>9781033
It's good as far as YA genre fiction goes, but it's not exactly literature.

Why is "she" so jewish?
I'm sure "her" farts smell like money

Also, I forgot to mention that I want to plow Gwen Tennyson's tight teen tummy.

Lel, she looks like Elliot Rodger.

>>9780957
Grossman's good. You can find it easily on libgen.

>>9782274
But she's a female. I don't read anything written or translated by females.

You don't choose. If the subject does not choose you then it will come out badly.

you don't a writer writes. Every single dipshit idea until you find one you love. I have xthousand half page documents of random ideas I had and abandoned. I mean, you don't have to save them- but like they always say "for every finished painting, there are 10000 shitty sketches" it's the same with writing.
