Go get some help.
Not with the note, but your damn self.

Hello Mom and Dad,

I am a faggot who gave up on myself and my ability to do something with my life. I would apologize for what I did but that would probably only embarrass you more.

Anon

It's obvious I don't give a single shit about myself even to the point that I can't even write sincerely at the face of death. I'm a huge dissapointment even to you, dear reader. I won't be missed but I can't say I care. I don't care and that's why I chose this path.
Kys yourselves too and rip in peace.

Neoliberalism is as valid as a concept as "Cultural Marxism".

Young Noam was so kawaii

Nabokov is always right:

Dostoevsky, Fyodor. Dislike him. A cheap sensationalist, clumsy and vulgar. A prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. Some of his scenes are extraordinarily amusing. Nobody takes his reactionary journalism seriously.
The Double. His best work, though an obvious and shameless imitation of Gogol's "Nose."
The Brothers Karamazov. Dislike it intensely.
Crime and Punishment. Dislike it intensely. Ghastly rigmarole.

That's all I've read of him but I liked it enough to buy The Brothers Karamazov

Other than pirating, what real option is there?

Diary of a Country Priest

Sculpting with Time by Andrei Tarkovsky

Anything

Nothing

Think about it until you die, not accomplishing anything.
It's not like it matters.

Yeah, they probably wanted her to be reading Ulysses, but the prop department messed up. That's Stuart Gilbert's study of Ulysses, not the novel.

How do I get a qt /lit/ daughter like Rory?

>Yeah, I really like Ulysses, Dublin seems like an interesting place.

>"Why would Homer write about Dublin?"

Is that from one of his books?

The Bible

or The Quran, but be careful because that's a text that's meant to be taken literally (as opposed the Bible) - read some of the popular Sunnah's so you don't misinterpret the primary text and go full durka durka

on the heights of despair by emil cioran

it's only dismissed as edgy by the exact people that cioran dismisses as superficial fuccbois

Talk with people or listen to conversations and take note of things like cues, responses and the tones of discussions. It really isn't hard unless you have a condition which pertains to social retardation (ie Autism or Aspergers)

>dialogue
it's been played out

>>9254430

Just listen to the way people talk.

Also, rewriting. Don't be afraid to cut your dialogue or change it if you read it back out loud and it sounds retarded.

I feel like a lot of young writers try and set up "funny lines" they already had in their head with their dialogue. It always sounds forced. Don't try to be funnier than you are. And if you read it out loud and it doesn't sound like something you'd expect from a human being, then cut it.

I assume you've talked to human beings before. You should be able to tell when something doesn't sound like conversation.

Painful.

An anon here once described it in a way I really loved. He said love was like a velvet tourniquet, with all of what that implies.

delirious desire to destroy

No, start with roman adapatations of greek plays by Plautus and Terence, then read the greeks.

If you really think Kaczynski was right, you should move to a cabin in the woods and survive on what you can gather or catch. Not even memeing you btw, I have seriously considered doing the same.
