>it's a 'lonely white male' poem

radical

>>9143074
Thanks for your comment.
Oh how I lament
your negative review
of my poem-oo

>>9143053

It's ok. Kinda hard to take seriously since the premise is basically
>I'm cool in the computer world
which is something that many 12-year-olds have also said. Try to be more insightful, and you might make some legitimately good stuff.

As a general rule, writing about yourself (unless you've had some incredibly unique experience) is setting your writing up for failure.

How much is this prize money?

I don't read women (I have taken the redpill)

>le different styles book

It's shit, don't bother with it. Masturbatory dross

>>9142988

Ulysses is very difficult, don't worry about it.

If you want to get into literature, I'd recommend you read Steinbeck. He's great for starters.

>>9143000
Thanks. I read Catcher In the Rye and The Stranger and enjoyed them both. The plain language appeals to me. Nice trips, also.

>>9142902
No, to get big boy points on 4chan you need to be either a redpiller or a Catholic (on /lit/ at least).

We are too consumed with hatred and bitterness to buy the humanism meme

It's pretty much a meme

>>9142907
>>9143440
Lit hates it, therefore yes you should read up on it and consider it a valuable option.

>"Lavender. So that's what the redpill tastes like," he muttered to himself as the pill started doing it'w work.

Also OP, yours is embarrassing.

Yeah, they should all be called memers

I know that feel, bro

>'this semester we'll be studying Moby Dick, by famed American author Melville'

stupid frogposter

>>9142504
I get laid a lot from pretending to be deep and well-read.

>It seems to me the only practicality of this knowledge is for writers and professors

Even supposing this were true, what of it?

Is there any use to looking at a beautiful painting?

No. It is merely contemplation of beauty.

Art for art's sake

Unironically IJ. Not because of the message of the book though, but because of the path I've taken since reading it.

>>9142453
I love knee chi!

>>9142453
Schopenhauer's 'On Women'
The Bell Curve

>>9142440
I've only read PC, AP, ST, and TH, and they were not a pain in the ass at all.

>>9142445

>>9142127

What's more iimportant is weather he was right on women.

And he absolutely was. What did you guys think about 'On Women'? Personally, it changed my life

he wasn;t wrong about women that's for sure
He might be the most red pilled philosopher to ever live.

>>9141758
I don't think he was amazing but he was alright and could've been great. I read The Chess Story. It was alright but I think there's a reason he's not very widely remembered and admired. Apparently The Chess Story is more popularly called "The Royal Game" in English translation.

Honestly, based on that book alone, I'm not too keen on deliberately going out and reading more by him.

Could you explain why you think this obscure and middling Austrian writer was one of the best writers of all time?

>>9141861
(((Stefan Zweig)))

>>9141861
He's not obscure. He's very well respected. It's fine you don't like him. No, I'm not saying these are reasons he is one of the greatest writers.
