>I'm writing a romance novel.

why? why would you do that? i mean it's as if you posted "i am slowly gouging my eyes out with a potato peeler."

If I can sell it for at least a few bucks profit I will, otherwise I donate them.

I sold all my books to a second hand shop a couple of years ago when I realized that I don't want to deal with the hassle of storing and transporting them, since then I'm using ebooks.
What matters is the content.

This is interesting. I normally buy spools of ribbon and create my own. I am considering buying a small pocket sized journal and using a page per book, then at the end I will write a summary of the book for review.

I keep a log in Evernote of how many pages I read and from what book every time I read. I time myself when reading and log that too. Then I calculate how fast I'm reading, and estimate how much longer the book will take to finish.

I also make a note for each book with a list of characters and sometimes a few major plot points or things I want to remember.

And I have a couple notes for books I want to read. And I have a note for books I've read with what date I finished them on.

Should I have myself tested for autism?

Not unless you also decide to recollect all the books you've read since the point when you reached literacy.

>Telling your mom that you want to write something like de Sade or Lolita

I think she went off at him because he's a total sperg and she loves him. She knows that he'll be fucking ridiculed if he does it.

>>8955888
This.

People have tried in this day and age, and all have failed.

Neither de Sade nor Nabokov were writing erotica you moron.

Why put philosophy on this list?

And if you're going to there's harder philosophy to understand than Baudrillard and Heidegger.

I think there isnt a universal one

DFW was one of the greatest contemporary authors and the Harry Potter books were good kids' books.

Having either or both of these opinions doesn't stop anybody from appreciating Shakespeare, which is why Bloom is retarded.

>Harry Potter books were good kids' books
I have to agree with bloom that they are not good books, even for kid tier reading.
This doesn't exclude or oppose the fact that people can and will enjoy them, but they are simply not very good at all.

Also I don't remember the argument being that by enjoying x you would stop enjoying or learning from y, but rather about the limit of time and memory each person has, and how an abundance of mediocrity will overfill time and memory, in turn making the person more mediocre.
He goes more in depth and clarity in his stuff, I'd give it a read. You don't have to agree with him, but his arguments are not mere shitposting ala post-/pol/ /lit/.

"It's about time you read..." seems to be happening every single day, but I can read only that much.

>>8954813
No, because I haven't even started In the Heart of the Heart.

I bought it a while ago, so sure, probably. But I buy lots of books.

Personally i use a pilot fountain pen. My only real regular writing consists of reading notes.

He's a genius. It's a shame he was such an unpleasant autist in his personal life, or he would be held in the same esteem as Joyce, Faulkner, Woolf, etc.
