Probably some stupid classic you only got to show off when you could have gotten it for free on public domain.

>What do I read?

The abundant Nietzsche threads already in the catalog

That's 95% of what he wrote about anyways

Read the Untimely Meditations

>>9224857

Nietzsche solved philosophy. Talking about anything else is a waste of time.

No one gives a shit about your opinions. Increase your knowledge of food. It's an evolving and unending art. Saying that the pizza place uses too much sauce isn't interesting to read.

People who review food are fucking dumb. People who read food reviews are barely passable for human beings.

Read white heat by Marco pierre white to make my post /lit/ and not hateposting

It's not about the reviews. Anyone can write a "good" or "bad" review, but who will be listening and what will make you worth people's time are the two things you should be worried about.

If you mean how to write technically good Food reviews? Become a chef or start cooking and taste good and bad food. Then you will know what you're talking about instead of just using cool descriptors of what people should be tasting for themselves.

They are for Google btw and I am dumb hahah. Thanks though.

Show us the inside.

I don't have any more photos unfortunately

>>9224616
any context for the photo? Why do you have this photo? Do you have any idea what kind of book it might be?

My guess is that it's a religious hymnal. The warped binding indicates it's been opened and held open regularly and repeatedly. The cloth bookmarks are also common in hymnals.

The symbol is a harp, which would also line up with it being a book of music.

discussion on /lit/ is the gold standard of literary merit

if you dont see it on here, it sucks

Is that Lorde?

He does. Far and wide. Go away.

Nietzsche really wanted to suck his dick.

He gets a ton of love.

Go to school young man

Why would you not read Amazon or GoodReads reviews instead of coming here to ask?

Yes.

>>9224533
Because he might value the opinion of the wise sages from /lit/ more than those of random people who review books on amazon

perhaps you answered your own question

I am the Eggman koo koo kachooo.

Do you realize the illicit sensuous delight I get from picking my nose? I always have, ever since I was a child. There are so many subtle variations of sensation. A delicate, pointed-nailed fifth finger can catch under dry scabs and flakes of mucous in the nostril and draw them out to be looked at, crumbled between fingers, and flicked to the floor in minute crusts. Or a heavier, determined forefinger can reach up and smear down-and-out the soft, resilient, elastic greenish-yellow smallish blobs of mucous, roll them round and jellylike between thumb and forefinger, and spread them on the undersurface of a desk or chair where they will harden into organic crusts. How many desks and chairs have I thus secretively befouled since childhood? Or sometimes there will be blood mingled with the mucous: in dry brown scabs, or bright sudden wet red on the finger that scraped too rudely the nasal membranes. God, what sexual satisfaction!

I know so many people who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads and stay in their saftey zones

Now what can you tell them
And what can you say that won't make them defensive

I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself

They come on like they're peaceful
But inside they're so uptight
They trip through their day
And waste all their thoughts at night

Now how can I come on
And tell them the way that they live could be better

I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself

Now how can I come on
And tell them the way that they live could be better

I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself

Easier question:

>A chemical odor that is putrid and metallic, like burning onions and sulfur in a frying pan, trails from the kitchen to her bedroom door.

Is this grammatically correct? My nerves are killing me right now

/lit/ help me out pls

bunch of pseuds on this board

Haven't read any Borges, but PKD (from the ~5 books of his I've read) always writes firmly in the sci-fi idiom and uses sci-fi settings, tropes, etc. (e.g. "I got into my hovercar") even if his themes are different.

This sort of thing can sometimes be a result of the writing as well. For instance, if Borges is good enough to be lumped in with "serious literature" instead of sci-fi. PKD is cool but honestly a poor writer, stylistically.

>>9224186
are you calling borges scifi writer ? lol

genres are just marketing techniques. A publisher/author looks at how they think the book will be best recieved by people who hold steadfast to their preferred genres.

Sometimes it also has to do with what else the author has written. By the time Burroughs wrote Naked Lunch, he had already written Junkie. He established himself as a writer of "literature" and not "science fiction".

If Naked Lunch was his first book, he might get classified as primarily a science fiction writer who wrote a few non-fiction autobiographies.

Beat literature and poetry was good because they were revolting against the conformist society of the 1950s. So what they said was defined by that society and culture and their rejection of it.
Whereas hippies weren't really revolting against society- they had created a new subculture. It was also a much more populist movement. So they were really exploring new ideas, like Eastern religion, psychedelics, new music, etc. I would say they didn't really have any passion or need for literature.

Many of the beatniks also attended prestigious universities, like Ginsberg and Burroughs. The hippies were too busy living their culture, not mediating their feelings through art.

You might think the Beatniks had a superior culture from the perspective of creative output, but the hippie movement had a much greater impact on society and politics as a whole. The beatniks inspired many hippies, but they didn't do much else. Whereas you can consider the hippie movement responsible for a new era of sexual politics and the end of the vietnam war.

What years are you referencing as bad? Gravity's Rainbow was published in 1973.

Keep in mind that Orwell was for a time a failed small farmer and developed a disdain for pigs from the experience.

I hear that burning human bodies smell like bacon.

>hmm I really don't like how the Soviets are running things
>I know! I'll right a novel about the Russian revolution and subsequent corruption using barnyard animals as metaphors! Stalin is a pig haha

Why didn't he just write like a paragraph, writing a whole story seems excessive
