What is the point of horrifying literature? Kafka wanted all of his work burned at the end of his life. It's possible he realized that his work could be detrimental to people. If you think there is a point to horrifying literature, what do you think it is?
Read it, that´s the point also earn some money. how can be detrimental to people read that kind of books?, be honest, who in the world get scared because horrifyng literature.
>>9124962
the world is horrifying. that's the point. Any good art has to reflect that fact.
>>9124962
There's nothing more detrimental to people than feel good mass produced movies and TV. Anything that keeps you from realizing the bleak, disturbing truth of this world is detrimental to you. Art should help you understand your environment.
>`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
> Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
>All mimsy were the borogoves,
> And the mome raths outgrabe.
>"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
> The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
>Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
> The frumious Bandersnatch!"
>He took his vorpal sword in hand:
> Long time the manxome foe he sought --
>So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
> And stood awhile in thought.
>And, as in uffish thought he stood,
> The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
>Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
> And burbled as it came!
>One, two! One, two! And through and through
> The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
>He left it dead, and with its head
> He went galumphing back.
>"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
> Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
>O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
> He chortled in his joy.
>`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
> Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
>All mimsy were the borogoves,
> And the mome raths outgrabe.

Is love a spook?
>>9124676
Love as social construct is, love as feeling is not
I believe in a thing called love. Just listen to the rhythm of my heart.
>>9124676
Yes, but not sex, that's biological.
Never get married.

Why is he so fucking sad, /lit/?
>>9124578
Why would he be happy?
Look around you.
:(
Because he thinks it makes him look more intelligent. (It does tbf)
>>9124578
Because plebs and SJWs took over his beloved area of study.
So /lit/, are we the Harry Potter generation?
You say The Hunger Games, I say The Sot-Weed Factor
You say Twilight, I say The Recognitions
You say Divergent, I say The Magic Mountain
You say Harry Potter, I say In Search of Lost Time
You say Perks, I say Women & Men
You say John Green, I say shut the fuck up
You say Cassandra Clare, I scream Thomas Pynchon!!
You say Fifty Shades of Grey, I fucken punch you in the face
92% of teenagers have turned to YA and memes. If you are part of the 8% that still reads real literature, copy and paste this message to another 5 threads. DON'T LET THE SPIRIT OF /LIT/ DIE
We are the desperately lonely generstion. Thats why when we want to feel apart of something, we go for the lowest common denominator.

Imagine being Foucault in that debate and having to be all like "damn, Chomsky, you fuckin' fine, all dialectical with your human nature and horrific language theory. I would totally write an article with you, both my literary persona and the real me." when all he really wants to do is write about relations of power in societal institutions. Like seriously imagine having to be Foucault and not only sit in that chair while Noam Chomsky flaunts his disgusting theory in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing his shitty haircut, and just sit there, word after word, hour after hour, while he perfected his argument. Not only having to tolerate his stupid fucking syntactic structure theories but his haughty attitude as everyone on the audience tells him he’s STILL GOT IT and DAMN, NOAM CHOMSKY DEBATES LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and hear this stupid fucking analytic contort his books into types of mental gymnastics you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been writing nothing but a healthy diet of critical theory and post-structuralist best-sellers for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the opium dens in France. You've never even heard anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on his dirty thick-rimmed glasses as he smirks suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in his "revolutionary (for that is what he calls it)" cognitive science, the cognitive science he worked so hard for with his anarchist buddies in the previous months. And then Fons Elders brings up another subject, and you know you could refute every single person in this room before the analytics could write a review of your book, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Foucault. You're not going to lose your academic prestige over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

I saw Chomsky in the grocery store near Harvard a few months ago. Dude looked like he was on the door of death. His much younger wife was leading him by the arm. I almost bumped into them trying to get my hands on some hummus. Their cart was full of vegetables.
Do you guys ever get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of good literature out there? I find myself wanting to read so many different things that I can never decide what I want to buy next.

go for authors that are white males with a redpilled weltanschauung and have been dead for at least 200 years
>>9124204
Start with everything you own but haven't read.
I'm about to read the entire Plato catalog. how will it affect my life?
>>9124158
Forget continental cucks and jump straight to Frege and be redpilled
You will lose a lot of hours for absolutely nothing. Then you will lose even more trying to justify this waste of time by shitposting here.

Is it red-pilled to live an ascetic life and live somewhere like pic related?
>>9124092
It's redpilled to defend whiteness and masculinity IN society.
We must never cower as whites

Redpill actually means being aware of the conspiracy that governs this planet, it is disinfo that had led to it being about race or gender. How new are you?

In ruck and quibble of courtfolk
This giant hulked, I tell you, on her scene
With hands like derricks,
Looks fierce and black as rooks;
Why, all the windows broke when he stalked in.
Her dainty acres he ramped through
And used her gentle doves with manners rude;
I do not know
What fury urged him slay
Her antelope who meant him naught but good.
She spoke most chiding in his ear
Till he some pity took upon her crying;
Of rich attire
He made her shoulders bare
And solaced her, but quit her at cock's crowing.
A hundred heralds she sent out
To summon in her slight all doughty men
Whose force might fit
Shape of her sleep, her thought-
None of that greenhorn lot matched her bright crown.
So she is come to this rare pass
Whereby she treks in blood through sun and squall
And sings you thus :
'How sad, alas, it is
To see my people shrunk so small, so small.'
I'm new to poetry, is this about getting some really good dick?

How do you use exclamation points without looking autistic?
Start by not being autistic. I think it's pretty easy from there.
My female superior at work sends me chastising emails with tons of exclamating points (like "Redo!") to sound more authoritative, I suppose. Shit's hilarious.
>>9122990
Never use them at the end of a sentence. If you use pen and paper, make them exclamation comas, not exclamation points. If you're typing on a keyboard it's not as simple, but you can still add a coma just after the exclamation point, and not use a capital aftrewards, so that it expresses momentary excitement instead of autistic shouting.
Anyone got recommendations on books on Slavic folklore/Russian mythology?
>>9122489
Read this to my kids, and got into it. Started researching english language books on ancient slavic folklore, and came up mostly empty handed. Polite bump as it is.
The Tale of Igor's Campaign is the place to start with slavic mythology.
