suck my manky, uncircumcised, minuscule schlong.
sage

Hey Sam, you look like shit

>>9499147
If he is d-grade and edgy it is only a dark reflection of the quality of man our society produces

>>9499107
I'm 100% sure he had Aspergers. He had way too many traits.

>>9499107
No, he had a recluse phase in his teens and 20s but he mostly came out of it later in life. He had lots of friends and traveled fairly frequently. "The Outsider" is one of his earlier pieces, so it reflects the reclusiveness of his younger years and his love of Poe, which dominated his earlier fiction writing.

>>9499167
I see, but how do you explain the fact that he studied about sexual intercourse profusely before he consummated his first marriage? Was that just autism?

>>9499059
Actually it's a Jew club. Saying it's an old boys club implies that WASP males are allowed nepotism and the freedom to assert their group interests over others. The publishing world is controlled by Jews (often Jewish women) and their favored grievance classes

>>9499059
pretty much all popular media (popular being the key word and the reason why i feel a mix of disdain and pity for your bitter perspective) has included pandering in one way or another.
Circle-jerking is just a meeting of the minds.
We get it, you suck and still want people to like you for it.
Not how it works.

>publishing overwhelming dominated by women
>contemporary fiction overwhelmingly dominated by women
>majority of readers are women

What you mean is your experience of literature is a boy's club because you don't go near the enormous girl's club literature scene because it's trash. You try and spin it as we're a bunch of sexists but you're a sexist right along with us because to even formulate this opinion you must possess male taste and a preference for male literature.

you know too much too much too much too much

Jeremy Commonforth - The Urine Tapes

IJ is shit. Your kind is not wanted here.

>>9498779
the IJ hate on this board is mostly unwarranted.
It's a flawed novel but to deny his genius is kinda foolish.
You have to realize that he wrote this in his late 20s.
Broom he wrote at 22/23, if you've read that it's hard to deny his talents.

I don't know, I started it but didn't finish it.

Meanwhile, I just got this for eight bucks, and I didn't look at it too closely beforehand, I just assumed it did not contain IJ. But then it does contain IJ...but no, really just a portion of IJ, but I don't know which portion. And they don't say it's abridged in the table of contents, so IDK. Does anyone know what I just bought? I thought it would have complete works that are not IJ. Now I know that it as a fraction of IJ in it, so now I'm worried that all the other works in it are fractional too. Does anyone know how abridged the stuff in this volume is?

Say what you will about his writing, but 80s Stephen King paperbacks make me feel /comfy/

>>9498570

>bunch of Stephen King

it's not really an epic haul when you can find dozens of his paperbacks at pretty much every thrift store ever

Akright /lit/, what's the least worst book in OP's pic?

Start with the greeks.

>Neckbeardhammer
You don't.

I call my style "Post-modern Tyrannosaurus Rex" because it reads very heady, but doesn't actually hold any ideas.

wow op posting a page from an undergrad intro to computational linguistics textbook makes u totally not look like a pseud!

>>9498172
compling and all the other spawn of generative grammar are pseudoscience

>>9497655
Full stop after him. remove comma after blind.

It's up to you though punctuation is just a vehicle bro.

It's a run on.

>>9497671
It's actually a comma splice

>>9497655
Kinda wordy but you can't really rewrite that

>>9497668
That would sounds even more awkward
