Ok

Books are already adaptations of anime, pleb

Or where did you think they came from?

Those are called light novels

are you retarded mate

>>9598963

Maybe I just didn't get it. Seemed like Maas was calling a ton of bluffs made by the society. Pretty much felt like a btfo to me.

The government outlaws McDonald's.

A leftist reaction to trump in 2020/2024 facing off against an extremely conservative supreme court regarding any number of issues

>>9598941
This is a better idea, but replace Trump with a made up conservative president. All of Trump's supporters are going to die of burger overdoses since they'll be unable to pay for the Healthcare that would save them, so he won't get reelected.

Joyce

Finnegans wake

Read Hemingway and get the absurd idea the loose collection of campfire stories in pic related has any artistic value out of your head, then >>9598794

Yes.
I'm not.

I started reading fairly modern philosophy out of a genuine interest and found I simply had to read a lot more before I did that. It's no big deal for me, more of an adventure, but I've realised I'm going to have to pick up the pace reading to get through it all yes.

Personal taste isn`t allowed anymore because of literally critiscim. Since it became a university thing, it is much more like a science now, meaning that reasearchs can`t hold personal tastes.

And we are in an age where literally criticism dictates our readings habits.

>>9598622
Kek, nice shitposting.

Were you in the Discord last night, OP?
Be honest.

won't make much sense unless you've read Hegel

it depends on the size of your brain, whether or not it is glowing or exploding, etc.

>>9598581
I don't understand.

Probably a good idea, might be better to put the audio on 0.75 speed to make it easier to read along.

The guy who lives next door is a pirate. Well, i’m pretty sure he is. He has a beard and an eye patch and smells like rum. Next to him is simon, the resident junkie, who pops out of his house for a sniff around literally every time he hears someone passing. I don’t mind flicking simon a couple bucks or a dart if I can tell he’s really stinging. I remember that feeling, man. That squirming itch.
Below me is debbie, a skinny old thing, who moves more pot than anyone I’ve met before. She seems like she’s got it all figured out. She hangs with her little dog and sweeps up our block and sells weed to a fairly respectable clientele who rock up probably every hour or so. And finally there’s malcolm, who’s jolly when he’s drunk and a kind and respectful guy when he’s not. Yeah, he has PTSD, and you can tell it’s hurting him, but he’s a funny fucker and he helped me move pretty much every piece of furniture i own when i moved in.

I’m the straight man. I stopped using like a year ago, and since then I’ve crafted this new character, this guy who goes running and cooks for himself and works and studies. I’m gonna be a paramedic in a couple more years, so keep this story on the downlow. No one I know in this new city has any idea that i’m a recovering heroin addict, and i'm pretty sure i’d blow some fucken minds if anyone found out.

I think that’s the point of this piece. I really just wanted to brag. Normal people don’t get it. If you’re an ex junky and you don’t play guitar, talking about your past is a great way of getting someone to stop talking to you. I actually do play guitar but that’s not the point. The point is that someone who actually does get it is gonna have to read this.

So yeah, look at me. I’m a fucking warrior. I have 2 jobs, bout 40 hours a week (ok, 30. Some weeks 25), I study full time, I’m healthy as a zebra (made that expression up just now but feel free to use it), i quit smoking, i do this and that and whatever. I’ve gone from stealing from my mum to buying her dinner. I got a blowjob a little while back from a girl on tinder. I’m living, I have a life, and i contribute. It’s a big deal. But I can’t tell anyone. I’m terrified of telling anyone. I don’t know if anyone can relate to this, guys, but it’s like that saying about how the most painful thing to bear is an untold story. I feel like batman or something.

That sounds like your diary desu and not a story. I'm not saying to stop or anything, but maybe just making it autobiographical would be more honest. Like a 21st century Junky.

We have critique threads for this sort of thing.

I would say fill them with dust

If you don't like them then just throw them away. Otherwise store them in a box or something.

keep them in a large binder with sheet protectors

Doesn't matter.

Theres nothing wrong with frogpoasting

>>9598212
agreed

>>9598212
This. Childhood is frogposting, adolescence is hating frogposting, adulthood is ironically frogposting.

He's a mix between Keruac and Joyce - obectively of course. So take that into consideration before reading him. Also if youre in French, visiting or otherwise, you gotta read him haha well whatelse can be said. Adventourous, grandiose, and daring hmm need I say more? It begs the question doesn't it - who exactly was Proust? A blue collar dad turned world renowned writer and visionary. Or something deeper maybe? Whatever the case I'm just glad we're alive to see him writing and i know I'll be alive to keep reading what he's alive for and writing his works to be read.
