aw, I'll be your friend anon. But really, best thing you can do is to go out and meet other people who like the sort of books you do because basically college is one of the few places you can do that ever
what's your good ol' alma mater and your favorite book, pal?

Hey guys,
Just a regular guy who wants to get memed here. I will be reading Blood Meme by Corncob Tortilla YeCarthy. Please join me and a few other regular guys who are going to get memed.
The pictured copy is 368 pages, and we will aim to finish the book in ~7 - 10 days, starting Saturday, April 8, going to ~April 15th - 18th or so. This translates to somewhere between 30 - 50 pages per day. No strict schedule so you can read at your own pace, but try to be close to halfway done 4 - 6 days in.

This might not seem like much to most people on /lit/ but living in Whitby and not having read Dracula is kind of a big deal. People get a raging hard-on here for Dracula because there's one or two chapters of it set here. Shit's actually pretty annoying.

Philosophy students and psychology students think they understand the world just because they studied these subjects casually at a high school level. It always irked me as these pseuds try to analyze little things with their textbook theories to try and impress others. Doesn't really impress anyone.

Where are writers ugly?
I find it hard to find good-looking authors.
All I could find was China Mieville and Yukio Mishima and they are not good-looking. They are passable.
Introduce me to some good-looking authors.
Criteria
1. Younger than 40.
2. Attractive enough to get some matches on Tinder.
3. Nevertheless a good writer.

Read a passage from any Harry Potter novel.
As you do, replace "wand" with "cock."

Harry’s temporarily stupefied brain seemed to reawaken. Ministry representatives will be calling at your place of residence shortly to destroy your cock. There was only one thing for it. He would have to run — now. Where he was going to go, Harry didn’t know, but he was certain of one thing: At Hogwarts or outside it, he needed his cock. In an almost dreamlike state, he pulled his cock out and turned to leave the kitchen.

Dumbledore gave his cock a little flick, as if he was trying to get a fly off the end, and a long golden ribbon flew out of it, which rose high above the tables and twisted itself, snakelike, into words.

How did Jordan Peterson so quickly rise to become the foremost public intellectual (and intellectual meme) of our time?
8 months ago, nobody knew his name.
Now, he has surpassed Zizek on every conceivable level, inheriting the crown of "world's #1 public intellectual."
What enabled him to accomplish this?
Was it simply him triggering the SJWs that caused him to 'go viral,' or are there more serious literary merits that explain his success? If so, which ones?
Also, what will Zizek do now that all the cool kids go to Peterson for their psychoanalytic commentary?

ITT we share what we're writing and judge each other. Novels, short stories, poems, etc.
I don't have anything to share because I don't write. I'm just here to laugh at cringy writing.

Hey ex-bros, /fit/ here
dunno whether to post this here or in /adv/ but figured you guys will have my back
This sentence is supposed to be ambiguous apparently, but what is the other meaning??
"old french manuscript describes lost city"
It's for an assignment and I'm ESL.
Also, Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread thread I guess, that thing works here?

Is it from France? Is it written in French? Is it written in a dialect that could be described as Old French? Is the city lost to time or just to civilization? Does the manuscript rid the city of scribes, by legal authority or otherwise?

As promised to /lit/ here is the collection, hopefully anons interested will be seeing this thread.
The All-Embracing Library.
Size 177.96GB. I dare to say contains among the best books of their fields and are supposed not to repeat. It is a extremely well ordered collection by topic, and if you compare the size you soon see its value. Topics range from mathematics, physics, psychology, self improvement, survivalism, the best science fiction and fantasy literature, comics, magazines, and more. Did I mention is well sorted and contains only the best books?

Would you kindly share this torrent on other places like demonoid and the pirate bay? That would be good.

Pastebin won't let me, it asks for an account because the length is too high . No, you can't get all this on libgen, and the quality is not easily obtainable. If you want the contents you might download the metadata.
>>9323711
No problem, we've been all there. You copy the part that looks like gibberish and insert it in your client. Your torrent client must have an option that says "URL", "URI" or "address", something like that.

>Bloom says, “You know, I don’t want to be offensive. But ‘Infinite Jest’ [regarded by many as Wallace’s masterpiece] is just awful. It seems ridiculous to have to say it. He can’t think, he can’t write. There’s no discernible talent.”
>It’s all a clear indication, Bloom notes, of the decline of literary standards. He was upset in 2003 when the National Book Award gave a special award to Stephen King. “But Stephen King is Cervantes compared with David Foster Wallace. We have no standards left. [Wallace] seems to have been a very sincere and troubled person, but that doesn’t mean I have to endure reading him. I even resented the use of the term from Shakespeare, when Hamlet calls the king’s jester Yorick, ‘a fellow of infinite jest.’
