I don't know why I keep using a fountain pen to write stuff, and I have no clue why I always come back to it. What is going on? It's certainly not as convenient to write with as the ballpoint, nor is it erasable like a pencil. I guess I may never know why I always come back to the fountain pen.

I wonder why my cum smells like pancake mix. Or does everyone's cum smell like that? This sweater is starting to make me a little sweaty but if I take it off I'll be too cold. I want to tell my girlfriend I love her back but I'm not sure if I do. How do you know when you're in love?

It's 2017 and time to start using computers, friend.

I want to eat my girlfriend's pussy without forcing her to take a shower first. How do I learn to man up and be cool with it being all sweaty and clammy and musky smelling ?

>>8923991
You don't. You "man up" and tell that bitch to shower (and shower welll) if she wants that sweet, sweet tongue.

>>8923991
It honestly won't make a difference.

Less than Zero and American Psycho,from Easton Ellis.

I'm not sure how you could be asking for a book like this, be aware of your disappointment, and still need a book to explain it to you?

>>8923859
I'm wondering where to go from here.

Not much remains without consumerism.

If you're that easily upset, why do you read?

Don't read The Recognitions.

You don't TRY to convert yourself. The time comes when it comes and it will be natural.

Start with the Gospel; reading from the OT first is headache inducing for a newcomer, believe me. It will be natural when it happens, and it probably won't come from trying.

What brings you to want to become a Christian, dear Anon?

English is all you need. It really helps stemming from several global superpowers.

Naked Lunch,From Hell (isn't graphic novels literature?) and some academic books of history/architecture

>>8923696
how did you find naked lunch?

i tried to read it a long time ago, i remember finding certain images very arresting - but i didn't stick with it long enough to find anything in it except in fragments.

not sure if i want to spend the time giving burroughs another go just yet because there is so much else to read!

Any tips on how to read more each day? Usually, after 20 pages i'm exhausted... (except its low quality /lit/)

Do you guys take breaks? How it works?

>>8923578
Theyre all good at least the ones ive read but 40 and 60 are my favourite. Special s/o to 130 which was the first one i read and remains a favourite

That time of year thou may'st in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day,
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by-and-by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire
Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by.
This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

The imagery is simple but evocative, and it's one of the few instances in Shakespeare in which aging and death are not portrayed as outrages against human dignity. It borders on the sentimental, though, as a consequence.

And it reminds me if my grandmother.

this sort of 'art' is literally the lowest-common-denominator 'like dis if u ever loved some1 & relate 2 dis....' swill I have ever had the misfortune to read. I suggest anyone considering reading love poems, listening to songs about love, or watching a romcom instead save themselves time by thinking the words 'muh dick' for an equivalent experience I'm sure they will relate to just as much.

is that a backstreet boy or something

he made the disaster artist into a movie, can't wait to see that.

because my favorite movie is fight club. you're not your fucking khakis

The abbreviation of etcetera is etc. fyi.

Nothing bigger than the historical narrative of the working class vs. the wealthy elites.
