Stop posting things related to literature. It has to relate to women, blacks, jews, plebbit, etc. to warrant replies on here

>>9638114
The best way to honestly engage with great writing, is to write something yourself. Essays are frequently useless. The biggest exception being when T.S. Eliot told everyone that using Joyce's techniques won't make them derivative, because his discoveries were equivalent to Einstein's.

It's all bullshit, but the good bullshit is the bullshit that is confident and convincing.

Junky and Queer are more accesible.

>>9638110
Thanks. How about Soft Machine, though? Is it as difficult as Naked Lunch?

>>9638066
Just watch the movie.

it's literally never going to happen this way.
you will just be a wanna-be cuck in the end.

this will link the entire middle-east for you, everything else comes from the desert

Forgo the Greeks? That's like asking me what is twelve, and you saying, "Don't give me any of that 2x6, or 6x2, or 3x4, or 4x3 nonsense".

Those Japanese survivors are great too.

context?

>>9638872
after a decade of world war against the zombies, russian with it's few survivors creates concentration rape camps to breed new population from all the women they government had access too

when I fucked your mom, little fagboy

>>9637961
Well that explains where his faggotry came from

>>9637957
When that guy with the Eyepatch modeled for shirt advertisement.

i'd say A Scanner Darkly, Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said, Ubik, VALIS, and The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch are all better

>>9637924
I've read this and Ubik. Ubik was much more interesting a concept. It's technology was much more interesting and "far out." I think DADoES had better pacing and was much more a "solid" book, but Ubik was subversive and surreal.

>>9637924
The Man In the High Castle and A Scanner darkly, definitely.

This is unironically good. I wouldn't call it Kafkaesque

>>9637912
Op didn't call it Kafkaesque

>>9637912
Oh, well I was baiting. If I write a novel in the style of a shitpost, will it be good?

like...the written word geography?

>>9637849
No, when an author describes a areas geography I get confused, I usually can't get a picture in my head. I also can't keep track of directions.

I'm not allowed to insult phoneposters

>>9637831
Thanks for your reply, you have certainly come off as far more intelligent than the multitude. I pray to God that you still have voting rights.

Why did his post give you cancer?

Like all American literary manifestation, slam poetry sucks balls. It's just the American way of life. You just don't have what it takes to produce high poetry or literature.

Saul Williams is the saving grace

The only slam poetry that is bearable

the chesterton meme is finished dude

>>9637804
It seems to be your proclamation that he is finished has little to do with him and very much to do with yourself. Further more, it seems to have nothing to do with me and anyone else who wishes to discuss him today.

He's always right.
>>9637804
no it's not now go back to facebook

God, I hope not.

>>9637791

what a stupid, reductive reading. all you've done is reify the trope of narrative

>>9638050
It's just one interpretation I thought of. I didn't say it's the best interpretation, or that I would even agree with it, it's just something I was curious about.

If you read my post, you would recognize all of this, you illiterate dolt. Go shitpost about Jordan Peterson if you aren't going to contribute here.

sounds like a DOS RPG from around 1993

What's it about?

>plz no heroes and tombs senpai

i think of gaskun for some reason when I saw that

It's the only good novel ever written. Hacks like Joyce or Dickens didn't even bother to specify the hex color code when mentioning a color in their novels.

it unironically "pushes the medium forward" better than the most overwrought postmodern pseud shit

no idea, not sure if i can find a book that would redpill him that he would actually bother to finish

>>9637642
a redpill book that isn't by Milo, Peterson or any of those other sellout, fame seeking, low IQ whores would be really good actually.
