Poetry critique thread
Post your shit to get ripped apart, then rip apart other's.
let's talk
what were ro happen if
train of thought is lost in mindless sweeps
car parts brought together by one crank shaft
torque-to-be disassembled to form an imperfection
there is pressure behind each relief
a shape in the dark, absence
each line is by itself, spinning
at 70-120 miles per second
shapeshifting
in the mind of the beholder
lo and behold,
an absent sun

I'm going to type
random thoughts
with
random
line breaks
And post it
on a Chinese moral philosophy board
And the psueds
will eat it up

What's a genre that seriously needs a good book? Im thinking giant monster...
I'm writing a new book (my others have sold quite well, you may have seen them on TV) and have decided to let a group of internet people choose the genre!
>>8810568
Why would I lie about my lack of inspiration? Heh, it's alright. I just want to challenge myself this time, so I'd like your help!
>>8810562
Erotica. Smut. We need something contemporary on par with De Sade or Bataille or at least Apollinaire.
Hi! I need any suggestion of a romance book.
I just finished reading "the art of loving" and i need to belive in love again.
Even poems are good

Pablo Neruda's Love Poems

Sometimes, I'll be driving my car, and I'll wonder to myself, how am I even doing this?
As a matter of fact, what am 'I'? I move my arms to turn the wheel to direct the car how it should go. I press my foot down on the gas with the right pressure to make the car go as fast or slow as it needs to go. This all occurs in real time. My body is doing these things, and it almost seems out of my control. Do I really have any control at all? Do I have any free will at all? And if my doing these things subconsciously means that I don't, then what would be the most basic action I could do? Move my arm from one point to another? Even this involves the muscles contracting in ways I do not consciously will.
Is 'driving a car' just an abstraction of these many little actions which make up driving a car? Is my will just the intention to 'drive' and then my body does it, out of my control? What the fuck is going on here? Should I drive my car into this wall to test whether I have free will at all?
Back to my point. I will often deconstruct and overanalyze things in this manner. Is there any sense in doing so? It leads nowhere, and the thoughts just start to seem insane, yet at the same time, they seem to be valid thoughts and questions. Are our everyday actions just the manifestations of holding an intention in our mind, a visualization of what we want to do, and then our body doing all of the little processes subconsciously? Is there some paradox going on here that I am not grasping? Even as I type on my keyboard, I don't know what the fuck my hands are doing. Jesus Christ, I'm tripping out right now.

assuming this is not ironic I think you should probably finish high school

>Is 'driving a car' just an abstraction of these many little actions which make up driving a car?
Yes. You will find this analogy in a lot of computer programming courses to explain the concept of abstraction.
>>8810419
I still do this anon. My advice would be to start reading and studying more - philosophy, science, whatever. It can provide a structure within which you can analyze things, thereby making it actually somewhat useful. I'd recommend nonfiction instead of fiction for this purpose tho.

Does /lit/ thinks that Dirty Realism is a contribution to literature?
>>8810372
Is Bukowski's "The Fiend," with its graphic depiction of child rape, still in print? It was in the Erections and Ejaculations collection, but that's out of print.
Dirty realism is okay if the writer has something on the ball, as Bukowski does. On such terms, it offers a worthy contribution to the world of lit, although its grunge and stank might debar admission to more upscale joints like /lit/.
>>8810416
Censorship doing his thing.
I can't find The Fiend neither online or in print anywhere.
>>8810455
Amazon have it available in paperback format..

Try the sci-fi general thread.
It's one thing to make a recommendation request thread when we already have a fairly comprehensive sticky, but it's another thing to post a video game character under the assumption that its a universally known one and that we would be able to talk about its archetype and "philosophy".
Just kys already, you scum.
In the near future virtual reality constructs, genetic modification, and radical human enhancement are ubiquitous.
With increasing income inequality the quality of life of the underclass has deteriorated drastically. Communication has devolved to the level of profanity, bigotry, and racial slurs.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” I pant out of breath as we round the corner - Spic running on my left and Krag behind. Another gun shot and flash of light pierce the darkness. The bullet ricochets off a rusty fence inches from Spic’s head. “Mother fuck!” he yells.
The one shooting is no-good-shit-fucker Dino. He crouches behind a scum-fuck red dumpster that looks as if it hurled up its garbage filled guts onto the concrete. “Eat shit you faggot cunts!” he screams and pops off two more shots.
The gun in my hand is heavy and damp with sweat. Dino pops up to take aim. I fire a couple shots in his direction. He gets real quiet, like. All I hear is us breathing and the buzz of a nearby fluro-tube. “Dino, you nigga!” Yells Spic. “Don’t that whore money buy you no bullets?” Yells Krag. We laugh. Heavy breathing. The hum of the fluro-tube. “Oi, cunt!” Yells spic.
Nothing.
“Did you fucking stick him one?” Asks Krag.
“No fucking way.”
No way I hit that fucker. I’ve always been a lousy shot. Aiming the gun with shaking outstretched arm I creep up to the dumpster. I jump out ready to blow the fucker away.
“Holy shit.”
I lower the gun realising I’m aiming at a corpse. “Fuck, nigga.” Whispers Spic.His brain right there on the fucking street. Like pink and red cottage cheese. His twisted mouth open and filled with blood, his front teeth chipped from where he hit the ground. I try to be a tough cunt but I feel the bile rising in me and I hurl my shitty guts right on the dead fuck’s shoes. What a night.
All ‘cause Spic punched that bitch in the face. I ain’t saying he shoulda done it but she did spit right in his eye. Apparently it was Dino’s girl so he didn’t like that so much. Not that he gave a fuck about her, he just doesn’t like people damaging his merch. But, fuck nigga, he doesn’t like shit anymore.
His fucking brain. I still can’t believe it. The gooey shit that lets us think. I wonder where in the filth his childhood memories landed. His blood still spilling onto the pavement between banana skins and used condoms - the street light overhead giving us front row seats to the horror show - showing us everything with surgical accuracy.
“Hey, Krag, I wonder where his childhood memories landed.” I say and force a smile.
“Shut the fuck up, Dion.”
“What? You want me to show respect for this piece of shit? Didn’t you say he raped Christie a few weeks back?”
“Look… He’s fucking dead. Just… Shut the fuck up.”
I shut my mouth.
Krag’s a mad bitch but real smart, you know? She reads and shit, like paper books. She’s nice, kinda too nice with the shit we get up to. But she can be a mad bitch. She fucking stabbed me in the leg with a fork a few months back when I called her a grubby slut for getting mashed and fucking Spic. Still got a scar from that shit. She’s a hot number though, man. Hot as fuck. Curvy body. Cute face. A ring in her lip and nose. She’s always dying her hair. It’s green at the moment. Was pink a week ago. I only called her a whore ‘cause I wish it was me that fucked her. She sucked me off one time when we were rolling on X. If that ain’t heaven fuck knows what is. But she’s into girls mostly. We’re like family. Only I want to fuck her brains out. I don’t go in for that incest shit like some of the fucks I know.
Spic’s a Japanese cunt, fuck knows why he’s called Spic. I heard he used to run with some hardcore Mexican fucks, so it’s probably some ironic shit. Spic has a dagger tat under his eye. He looks at Dino’s body like it’s nothing. Almost smiling. I bet he’s seen some real shit. He looks at me like I’m the greenest cunt out for chucking my guts.
“Let’s bounce.” He says slapping my face playfully.
We’re all outta cred so don’t go back to the bar. Not to mention the fact people probably heard the shots and knew Dino was looking for us. We rock up to Steam’s. He’s a scrawny spec eyed fucker but the smartest nigga I know. He hooks us up with creds and shit. He’s codes like it’s nothing. He wrote an algorithm that generates cred cards number. Whenever we need money we talk to this Steam. He’s a weird guy, wicked dark sense of humor. Always talking about raping babies and shit. Collects weird old stuff, too. Krag gets her paper books from steam. Fuck knows where he finds all this shit.
“Check this. It’s called a record player.”
Should I keep writing this shit?

The Art of War | Sun Tzu
Meditations | Marcus Aurelius
The Prince | Niccolo Machiavelli
On the Genealogy of Morals | Nietzsche
Thus Spoke Zarathustra | Nietzsche
Nothing for me c/lit/s? last bump then I let this die i guess
just finished reading this for the first time and its honestly one of the most amazing things i've ever read
can anyone recommend me stories with a similar style of prose as well as gothic themes? i found it to be truly beautiful in this work and have trouble deciding whether or not the monster was in the right or the wrong for his decisions
i feel like his expectations are delusional but from an emotional standpoint are valid
overall im in awe by this story and want to read more like it
Ah, so you're a high school sophomore?
>>8810105

Oh I thought this was a troll post for a sec, but this is literally the same cover as thus spoke zarathustra.
