This guy's writings are a total slog. He makes me appreciate how comfy Plato actually was. NE started out alright and now I'm halfway through book 7 and it's just so...dry. Are any of Aristotle's writings comfy? or is he just a methodical robot?

He is pretty much confined to the dialectic of his Organon and his four-fold causational theory. He is a methodological systematizer through and through, about as dry as it can get. Like cigarettes, it's an acquired taste.

What the fummy is up with so many pretend writers? I want a GF who writes but then when we finally meet up, I find out they just wrote a fimmy poem from middle school but never did anything beyond that.

Where the heck are the actual writers? I show up to writer meetups and everyone's just a bunch of weirdo's with fim taste in mainstream content and fimmy as fummy opinions suggesting I just go write an erotica/zombie book like everyone else.

I want a WRITER GF who will write books with me and actually care what I write. Do I have to get famous first?
I try starting out as friends first with girls who claim they like writing, then they ghost me when it actually comes to talking about writing.

Writers write. People who have time for your shit are unlikely to take writing too seriously. Depending on your standards, you can always give a try with writing groups or even fucking blogs, just don't treat these as dating sites.
>>
>>9971998
Even if that's true, that has nothing to do with them being pretend writers. They clearly have interest in me but when it's their turn to talk about writing they go silent or talk about a dumb poem from middle school. (Following up with disappearing the next day.)

Even some chicks I been talking to for WEEKS, the moment the conversation changes to writing they mumble about stuff, and mention they are not currently writing a book and then they make excuses as to why they're not writing a book and how they wish they could or they don't have talent. Then they disappear when I insist they should try writing again. (Why are they showing up to writer events if they don't write?)

>>9972009
I take writing seriously myself, but not every person is a drone. We have different personalities. Mine just happens to be a social one. But hitting the bar with people is less interesting than writing or talking about writing.

Think about it, you are shitposting on 4chan right now instead of writing your book. Clearly you are displaying how you also like engaging in discussion about writing with people.

Is it so wrong that I just get tired of talking to anonymous people on a shitty board of people who don't actually write. And I just want to meet someone IRL I can spend some days with together in a room talking about what to write next?

It's better than /lit/ the question is how to get what I want.

/lit/, what program/medium do you use to write?

Of course there are so many choices and forms that for many there is a very hard choice present. Of course we may say that paper is superior, or perhaps you think that it is important to pay for an expensive word program on your computer. Then also there is the choice of computer. Mac or PC, which can limit you or perhaps expand the amount of choices and freedom you have. So what is it for y'all? Paper and pen, clay tablet, or Word?

Because it falls on one side of an asinine 'culture war' and Jordan Peterson hates it.

And yet /lit/ still likes Pynchon and Calvino. At least not understanding it doesn't get in the way of enjoying great literature.

that Peterson faggot and the alt right are giving it a bad name, but you can't takeaway the fact that it gave birth to so many good books.

Hi /lit/ can someone help me find a PDF for this book:

Belinsky, Chernychevsky, Dobrolyubov: Selected Criticism, ed. Ralph Matlaw, Dutton, 1962

It seems to be out of print, a used copy is available but its too expensive

I need the essay by Vissarion Belinski: A View on Russian Literature

What good sources of information exist on Fascist Italy?

I have already read the Doctrine of Fascism by Gentile but I would like info on the economic strength and situation of Italy.

Other books by Gentile would also be nice

I seriously hope this doesn't degenerate into false flaggers false-flagging other false flaggers

Not sure why it would be degenerate into such a state.

Does that usually happen when Fascism is brought up?

>>9971675
Yes very consistently which is a shame

Sometimes it's people from /pol/, sometimes it's people pretending to be from /pol/. One of the main problems with this board is how quickly threads can be derailed, which I think is due to the fact that it's a slow board.
