Lolita, I think, I haven't read it

>>8967845
Yes, it is.

>>8967839
Junky.

>>8967845
good example of what I'm looking for, but I've read that

>>8967799
we call it the western canon in the biz

there is but it's generally books that are widely praised

not sure why music has the problem that the most well-regarded music (shitty dadrock and dadhip-hop) isn't the most artistically significant

READ THE FUCKING STICKY.

Not an argument.

Flaccid microgenres, desu. There is one method of categorization - cuck and non-cuck.

All writing can simply be filed under "writing".

Simple broad categories can be nice but they lack precision.

why are you posting such inane topics when your previous thread was so unsuccessful?

the only thing you're being is a menace, and /lit/ will punish you for it. not due to feminimity, not due to politics, but due to the nonsense you're cluttering this board with. please just go away. unless you genuinely wish to talk of literature, say, your favorite book, or author, then be my guest.

>>I ask of her, her favorite authors
>>She says anything post-modern or post-colonial

if it's any consolation she sounds far worse than you do.

>>"Oh haha, is DFW post-modern? I'm reading Joyce at the moment."

Is post-modern a real thing? It sounds like a made up term pseud academics use to sound intelligent.

You are a faggot
Why are you asking 4chan
For help with homework

You gonna lose, nigga

That is a haiku,
This is a poem only thread now,
You are a nigger.

You're looking for Philip K. Dick.

My asshole

>>8967629
Rowlingnesque

>>8967514
Kinda want to go but don't want to get laughed at or turned into a meme ala eggman.

>>8967537
Who would laugh or meme?

>>8967537
Obviously no photos allowed

he should have explained it clearer, being deliberately obscure is a bad thing

That in the end, death is also the end for bad people and bad institutions perish aswell.

>>8967373
Fear of death and what may come after it makes men repentant for their actions that might hurt others. This is a check on the fulfillment of individual desires but makes living together as a society more bearable than if this were not the case.

Don't.

Licensed media is shit.

Read something like Leigh Bracketts C.L. Moores planetary romances, they are both influences on Lucas - Brackett wrote the first draft of Empire and Moores character Northwest Smith is basically Han Solo on Mars & Venus.

You can try some other Golden Age space opera

Or move onto New Wave reinventions like Samuel R Delanys Nova and Babel-17 and Einstein Intersection, or Frank Herbert's Dune.

Then there is the modern nu-Space Opera. Vernor Vinge, Stephen Baxter, Ian M. Banks, Alastair Reynolds, Peter F. Hamilton, Dan Simmons, Anne Leckie, etc

Avoid anything published by Baen.

How's the thrawn trilogy? Bought the series used for cheap, still haven't read it - been sitting on my shelf for awhile. For some reason I tend to hold a stigma towards it because there was nothing really comparable to it when it came out, so of course its good at least we have star wars again

>>8967396
But i want to read star wars EU because i like star wars

>>8967272
no, he's a meme of who.

>>8967272

we're not allowed to admit to liking him here because 1) he wrote works that were anti-racism, 2) he is commonly taught in American middle school and high school, and 3) his books aren't 1000-page postmodern "masterpieces" with 100 pages of footnotes

This isn't some hivemind community like Reddit, you philistine.

>>8967213
Read them

>>8967213
get a copy of the reader's companion to world literature. fun book. will at least teach you general things about many authors.

>>8967213
Lurk.

Nah, it's good. Or maybe it isn't. Who cares? Why do you take it so personally?

I never know what people are trying to accomplish with these poorly researched and hugely speculative posts. Do you want to go "WOah! You're such an amazing psychologist. So impressive, my dude!"

There is not much content here. Just a lot of know-it-all retardation.

Just like Infinite Jest

maybe we'll finally move past gay shit like philosophy lmao

i like how it was funny, then became fuckin horrifying and made me wonder why i was lauhing to begin with.

Milo Minderbinder the cook is the most absurd. My favorite.

Yee I love, a long-term fave
>those chills at age 15 reading "Man is matter, cut him and he'll bleed" and realizing /s/ that was Snowden's secret /s/
Also when Aarfy /s/ gets mad and rapes Michaela /s/ and the animal significance of his name stops being funny
