Well I've certainly humbled you haven't I A**c? Remember that party you'd invited me to? Do you remember the sleepover? Do you remember that whole time where I watched Naruto, you all the while thinking you had me so fooled.
Then I brought you low.
I took your Naruto joke and used it against you. I took everything. Everything I could I would take from you and I'd do it again for what you did. My own blood, for who? Some unstable bitch and her money. Was it worth it?

Mandelbaum and Ciardi are the recommended ones here.

I know you want to make me angry, it ain't gonna work.
I feel bad posting him since it's not as if he pretended to be something he was not. He owned how dumb he was, to a certain extent. Kerouac is likely up there as well as Camus.

What's the difference between writer/author/novelist/etc?

Who the fuck knows. Words have arbitrary definitions defined in dictionaries because it's a general consensus of the word's meaning. A word's meaning can ebb and flow with the times making old dictionaries somewhat useless in the modern age.
The difference between a writer and an author or a novelist is as arbitrary and pointless as the words they are speaking.
So, don't worry about it. Write something and forget about labels and words, write what you mean, not whatever some dictionary tells you the meaning of.
>>9677046
everyone is a writer
just as everyone is an author
novelists are the above who write only novels
etc
i don't see what's hard to understand desu
What's the difference between fascism, corporatism, nazism, socialism, and national socialism?
Any books I can read to learn about this?
>>9677013
>fascism
Good, means white race is good for Hitler and white nationalism
>corporatism
we need to have capitalism with out corporatism because it's an attempt to breed out whiteness
>nazism
Great
>socialism
wants men to turn into women
>national socialism
that's nazi, so good for redpill and lord kek
>>9677038
Which one do you identify with?
tl;dr:
fascism: extreme nationalism, corporativism
nazism: facelift of fascism with anti-semitism
socialism: unclear and ambiguous, but it has something do to with an utopia of everyone holding hands together and working for a better society
national socialism: nazism
