Make the chart consist entirely of American English dictionaries

Was just talking about this book yesterday

>>9636574
Currently reading this book called I'm her Son, by S. Hayes. Official rec. Pick it up in lieu? In chapter six he (the 'son') is sprawled out on the bearskin by the parlor room fire flipping through an unabridged copy of his favorite chapter book, which just so happens to be Leo's. FYI.

I'm going through Arthur Chopin's How-Toer right now. Is by a dude called Will Andidea. Its da best philosophizzle book in historeeeee!

>>9637348
Andidea? Is that Candy Andidea's bro? Under the pen name C. Andidea she wrote that weird dietary manuel that recommends eating TONS in short periods, vigorous exercise, and chewing tobacco (tres DFW) as an appetite suppressant. It's called: Gorge, Burn Hard, Chaw. Far more practical than Eat, Pray, Love [they] tell me..

Fuck you, I'm not going to help you finish your book. Try some LSD and be creative.

I wouldn't leave it out. More in Utopia, Huxley in BNW, Huxley in Island and Orwell in 1984, to name just a few mainstream authors, described the clothing but then Bradbury didn't describe much of the clothing except for the fireman and a white dress. So I think it is up to you but I would definitely recommend describing how the clothing is similar to ours.

I would definitely mention the fashion, but not by itself. For example, if you wrote a character dressing themselves, or seeing another character, you could comment on their clothing.
Have the clothing be a symbol for what you think the future will be like. Do you think it's gonna be a libertarian paradise? Do you think it's gonna be a communist paradise? Do you think today's social order will be maintained? Whatever you choose, the clothing should show this.
One thing to note: in more conservative periods (50s, 80s, 2000s) people wore baggier clothing to appear bigger, while in more "liberal" periods, people will wear tighter clothing. Use this as you wish.

read anti-oedipus first

he's writing love-poems to the process of capital that is already inscribed on his mind

land is only a mystery until you read capitalism and schizophrenia and then it all becomes clear

>>9636503
I've already read Anti-Oedipus, you cunt.

And I understood it better than that load of gibberish about cybernetics.

>It is ceasing to be a matter of how we think about technics, if only because technics is increasingly thinking about itself.

It's not even that complicated. Your unconscious desires become wired into capital, and that capital begins to become self-operative in the form of reproductive technology. We don't think about technology because first we think about money, and money runs on your libidinal desires.

The thing wakes up. We're wired into it. It's wired into us.

what would you read for instead? the prose? the character development?

>>9636453
Unironically the prose

No. Asking these types of questions shows your intelligence insecurity though. Think for yourself.

So you didn't understand the book?

>>9636430
what chapter?

And he ends the book with submission to god. Are you claiming he is right?

He was refuted in the epilogue

>>9636370
Yes I can:
He's a big fat meanie

>>9636370
Can I use reason against the characterization of human reason?

Get in here, mods!

I'll try and help you out while still saging.

What interests you? What ails your soul? What's a topic or idea that you believe would draw you in and attach you to a book?

Last I remember it begins in two days and we're reading roughly three chapters a day. With catch up days every six-ish days. (~30 pages a day)

there's none i'm aware of. i searched high and low and all i can find is books that don't even try to wrap the moralistic lesson in an enjoyable story.

the author that comes closest to stories for kids for pure entertainment that isn't just simple minded "penny at the grocery store" would be franz hohler. strangely, he's also from my country, but that's pure coincidence and he also has those "we're so politically correct" books, but i just ignore them.

thx

Hi OP.

>
Do more people being now more literate than ever (remember that centuries ago only 2% of people could read at best) means that literature is now more popular than ever?

No. The population is just growing at such a rate to pad the statistic. The average person these days meets the level of literacy required to dissect a paragraph-long or so Facebook post, which is still even too much for some people. There are psychological effects of Twitter posts being limited to 140 characters, you know.

>>9636069
there are more people born with mensa IQ than ever before as well.

>>9635703
I have no idea about Bulgarian literature, I'm just bumping your thread out of sympathy. The only authors from my country whom /lit/ ever discusses are those few who made a name for themselves outside the borders (of which we share one): Cioran, Ionesco, Eliade. The only name I barely know from your list is Hristo Botev, and that's only because I used to work in an office on Hristo Botev blvd.

Can you give some good starter novels that I can marathon?
