If you want to say the plate was broken out of anger, you can put a hyphen between anger and broken.

"anger-broken glass"

>>8920411
It took me a moment to see how that'd work.
I'd say it's correct, but you have to remember to write it as a compound word: anger-broken.
Moreover the use of such Æschylan compounds is a bit odd, so unless it's a consistent part of your style (and I assume it isn't) you'd be best off just using a different construction.

>>8920422
>Æschylan compund
What does that mean?

>>8920326
It would depend on if your knowledge of women stems from life or anime.

:_:
Certainly idealized imitation can go a long way. An author can describe idealized battles and soldiers without having ever seen one, why not idealized cute girls?

>>8920357
Exactly this. It's better if it stems from good examples of anime than any mundane real life experience of shallow catty girls.

>Does anyone else dislike YA?

No we all like it here

>>8920120
Yeah we have 17 threads daily, instead of posting threads about books or literary movements we actually like.

We need to constitute our idealized self-image against the evil normies, women, brainlets, etc. so this is much more important. Share away, can't wait to agree with you.

>>8920122
And your post is doing what, exactly? Constituting your idealized self-image against something? You're a pretentious faggot. Go start a thread about something you want to talk about. Don't come into other people's threads to complain they didn't start a thread for you. I can't imagine your mentality. Yeah, bro. Just go into every thread on the board and go "You didn't post exactly what I wanted? Fuck off, retard!!"

Well it's not really your traditional novel, and it's certainly not published intending to be one - if you sit down intending to read large chunks of it, you're doing it wrong. I probably read this over the course of a couple months while reading a bunch of other books, only processing 10 or so of those 'fragments' a day. It's really stuck with me since. Remember this is literally a pile of unorganized scraps.

It started out really well but became so repetitious as to be unreadable.

Even though I'm alumni, I still go to the University library to read. Local city libraries just don't do it for me.

If you can't show off what you've read, it's not worth reading.

So no, I don't read in libraries or borrow books.

I'm currently transitioning from buying to lending because honestly there is no point in having a wall of books I will never read again.

Hogg.

Babel-17 was pretty cool, and it'd probably make a good film except the lead character is a neurotic asian woman poet/linguist.

Yes, but it's tucked beneath his beard and he won't let anyone see it.

Gotta be something on those shelves

it is white, and it is trasch! nigga!

How do you rate the book on the right?

>>8919841
im gonna be honest it isnt it even mine, only the IJ is. i'd like to know how white trash is too, the title has me interested.

>>8919782
holy im so triggered thank you for posting this i hope a lot of people will join in the outrage, wish you'd found a woman though or someone who talked more about white men being evil because that would get us to 300 replies right away, but thank you for posting this it really adds to the quality of the board, i fucking hate normies. seriously try and go on social media and find people who say things that are against the redpill and post it here and youll see how much we can destroy. we need more threads about things that trigger us so we can really start a movement against women and normies

In sooth, I know not why I am so sad.
It wearies me; you say it wearies you.
But how I caught it, found it, or came by it,
What stuff ’tis made of, whereof it is born,
I am to learn.
And such a want-wit sadness makes of me,
That I have much ado to know myself.

BECOMES

ANTONIO
To be honest, I don’t know why I’m so sad. I’m tired of it, and you say you’re tired of it too. But I have no idea how I got so depressed. And if I can’t figure out what’s making me depressed, I must not understand myself very well.

By the by, he's so sad because he's in love with his friend Bassanio, soon to be married, who cannot requite that love for fucking obvious fucking reasons.

Sounds like you need knowledge less than you need a swift kick in the ass.

Read Plato

Marcus Aurelius, perhaps

Already?

Fuck, he died? I guess he was goodish, but I think his work was pretty simple. Not necessarily a bad thing but the asking of unresolvable questions gets a little tedious.

Best and most thorough autism I have ever seen. This is how to do it right.
