If you can read Spanish, go with Catedra.
Why are poorly written books so popular?
>easily accessible
>who doesn't love a written romance story that's been played out in your head
>simple themes mean you can feel pseud
But really it's just the writer being able to capture a niche market, but that market is a large majority of people.
I wonder myself
>>8964047
you don't know what a niche is, do you

It's insane how the libcuck/leftards managed, in their great cognitive dissonance assure themselves of this fake news narrative, while pushing out /pol/'s piss stories as something real.
wtf is this post-truth shit as if any of this is a new phenomenon
we never lived in a "truth" society. even this is pure political posturing.

'Nonymous: blight on my bliss, image of my id. My kin, my kind. Non-ee-mous: the sad soggy shitstain suggesting silly stupidity down the front page to sink, au revoir, into silence. Nawn. Eee. Muss. Xe was 'Non, poor 'Non!, in the evening, seeking validation from the void. Xe was afraid of blacks. Xe was in folly at school. Xe was deplored in friends' minds. But on my board xe was always 'nonymous.

Hi /lit/, following on from yesterdays successful thread:
Anyone in Melbourne want to meet up on Saturday and go to the Federation Square book market?
There were some concerns last night as to whether it still operates as their website hasn't been updated in a while, but I called this morning and it is still running
The Atrium, from 11am
I figure meet outside or maybe at Flinders St?
Maybe meet outside the open entrance to the gallery area?
12?

>The Missionaria Protectiva is planted by the Bene Gesserit
>The Fremen think Paul Atreides is a literal God
>Chani falls in love with Paul under this impression
>He impregnates her
>According to the modern definition, this is rape
Paul is introduced to Chani under false pretenses, and uses his privileged position to seduce her.
This is rape, right?
>>8963758
>DUDE STARWARS LMAO

>>8963760

Possibly, but it's still not as fucked up as a lot of things in the Dune universe.

Why isn't she /lit/'s waifu?
I listened to a podcast where she talks about her new book a few days ago and she came across as such a pseud with shit opinions. I was about to buy her book then cancelled it last limit.

Demons

I texted and snapped Syd, no response. Unless by chance she hasn’t read either messages for some unlikely reason, she doesn’t want to speak to me. She was one something that I had always set vaguely in the future just out of sight, something to move towards. But I never moved and she has. Too late.
If I were to be honest with myself, no matter how quick I could have been it wouldn’t have mattered.
How do write like the Pynchon circus pasta? I would read any book that author published. So full of energy.
The world is my oyster but I don't even like oysters. I had a wet dream for the first time in my life yesterday. I'm enjoying my new job. I'd like to be well-read without putting forth the time and effort that it takes to actually be well-read. Lucy is cute but she has a boyfriend.
this might seem weird but i'm looking for some lit that have the same style as pic related
