>styling it like a japanese light novel
In that case you don't need to know anything about writing.

Here's all I thought up so far
It's going to be a self-made novel about a group of teenagers living a high school life. All the characters are based on real life people, but in this context they are completely fictional. The story will be told in third person and styled like a japanese light novel. Each chapter will tell the story of a different character in his/her point of view. It's falls into the category of romance, drama and fantasy. Most of the events will be based on dreams I've had.

yes by light novel I meant the very simple amateurish writing style, heavy on dialougue, basically the stuff you see in fanfictions

>>9967144
This would. Pencilled or penned notes also get me. WHO does this in fiction books, and WHY?

>>9967156
people actually reading, retard

probably PhD students who write 'scientific' articles

It's Picnic at Hanging Rock. Maybe here was the answer to what happened, I don't know. Just found it.

Appreciate the post, thanks. I'm familiar with Crews and Gay but the rest is new to me. All exactly along the lines of what I was looking for. Got Town Smokes on order and the others added to my list.

He was an intense mothefucker. There's no way a rundown can be done, trust me. Just consider his post-doctoral thesis was rejected by Max Horkheimer at the University of Frankfurt because 'it was impossible to understand' and 'too obscure'. And that was just the beginning of Benjamin's career, a humble and synthetic overview of the History of Philosophy.
You could check it out, though. It's called The Origin of German Tragic Drama.

How 'mystic' is he exactly?
Makes me not want to read him.

>>9967224
That happened when he was older and paranoic (running away rom the Nazis). Also because of his heavy substance abuse. Anyway, he keeps ir interesting and philosophically relevant.

Reading it now, desu.
In brief: "The state turned me into a societal degenerate but then I found a socially degenerate religion and basically we wuz kangz n sheeeit, fuck white people"

>>9967073
It's fan fiction but aimed a different order of retard. Instead of teenage girls it appeals to self-flagellating NYT-subscribers and resentful black folks who want to blame white people for their personal failures

It's an interesting read, at least for insight to a mindset that I have no chance of encountering in real life.

>>9967029
You need to read it slower than most stuff. I have to be in the right mood to read poetry.

>>9967039
do you have any recommendations for interesting things to read?

One of Vargas Llosa's favourite novelists, and arguably the most influential on his writing career, is the American William Faulkner.[132] Vargas Llosa considers Faulkner "the writer who perfected the methods of the modern novel".[

Chaos theory was a very minor part of that book. I don't know what you're complaining about.

Just watch the movie instead of reading books like a loser.

Yes, you absolutely have wasted your time if you were expecting some kind of deep philosophy. I liked Fountainhead but I don't understand the Randian cult at fucking all.

>I don't understand the Randian cult at fucking all
why? it's really simple.
she's telling you that it is not only okay to follow your own personal interests in every single facet of your life, it's actually vital for the fate of mankind. selfishness is next to godliness.

ayn rand is for insecure losers. go to stirner if you want something more realistic.
not to say caring about yourself above all is a bad thing, but her moralistic take on it is fucking retarded and tailored for massive faggots.

>>9966959
'sort yourself out' is pure neo-liberal ideology.

No, because why focus on Jungianism, might as well argue with wiccans.
