The golden age of comics was crazy as fuck

>>8793650
That's actually from the Silver Age, who was way way crazier than the Golden one when it was mostly about punching nazis, gangsters and corrupt politicians

george grant was super old-school and redpilled af for a canadian and i liked him. he doesn't seem to get much press these days

davies would be a good pick but he's establishment

if countries had civ-style /lit/ leaders it would probably be atwood for us right now. she's pretty cool

canadian humour is embarrassing to me. canada's time to shine will be after ww3 when we pick north america up from the ashes and rescue it from mad max cannibal primitivism. until then we're basically fucking milhouse

i haven't read can lit in a while tho, as you can tell

my opinions are garbage frankly

argh

What are you talking about, you can find really great books on that site.

There are three possible priorities to have:

1) Actually good literature (Houellebecq)
2) Ooga Booga Chatterjee-Goldstein's diversity novels (What they usually pick)
3) Shallow, forgettable schlock for teenage girls (Murakami)

Personally I hope they get taken over by non-bourgeois people with taste, so that they switch over to #1. But I suppose there's a chance they might get taken over by 14 year old girls and your favorite could win too.

>>8793533
>14 year old girls like novels about jaded 30 something Jap male protagonists in fantasyland

Judging authors you've never read really is a /lit/ meme isn't. I mean Murakami is not Nobel worthy but Jesus man..

Why does it trigger lefties so much? Why do they think people who adhere to objectivism are idiots. It seems like she just has a utilitarian philosophy. I read half of The Fountainhead but left it on a plane by accident, was actually pretty comfy tbqh i liked the architecture element a lot.

I think she is the least original author that everyone should still read. Her philosophy is a weaker version of those that inspired her (and their philosophy is not particularly interesting either), but she is indeed influential and to read her is a nice way to understand a lot of what is going on with the world right now (trump, government, migration, alt-right, sjws... of course she would be biased about those topics, but her bias might inspire you as a source of neutral analysis.)

It depends why you hate them. A character who is hated because they are a terrible person is very different to a character who is hated because they are terribly written

>>8793454

Depends on "hate the protagonist" means. If he's a genuinely unpleasant character but the book has reason for it, then no. If the book expects you to like the character and find praise in him despite being objectively terrible, yeah. If "hate the protagonist" means you just think he's weird and wouldn't want to date him, of course not. If the protagonist is just plain boring and shallow, then yeah.

Dorian Gray was a rel piece of shit but the book was great

>>8793412
I've got Armada by Steven Wilson here. It's an utter piece of shit in my opinion since apparently you already need to know what specifically named seacraft/aircraft vehicles are in WWII without any description. 444 pages and 31 chapters. If memory serves, that averages out to about 15 pages per chapter, no? I consider that to be VERY short chapters.

But yeah, I'm a fucking connoiseur of WWII firearms, but ships/planes? Nope, not a clue, and this book doesn't seem to have people like me in mind. If I actually KNEW about planes/ships of WWII, I might just enjoy it, but I can't visualize shit.

Co. K

Almost every chapter is less than 3 pages. And it's fucking soul-crushing

Anna Karenina. Chapters are rarely more than 9 pages, usually averaging at 3 to 5.

Eat a dick, statist scum.

Similar to yours, OP, but more specific: No "helping hand" bullshit, including flowcharts. We should not let people who need an "infographic" just to read literature to take root and make themselves at home.

Absolutely, the most stupid people in the world need a helping hand just to read a book, and you guys aren't doing any fucking favors indulging these retards. They come back for seconds, and thirds, and fourths, etc.

I like charts of literature of kind or by an author, but I agree that flowcharts are trash.

Charts helps us affirm and establish canonical works (within certain bounds, categories). It can help more advanced readers discover works by authors they're already familiar with, or works within a specific genre of literature. I use genre here to connote both kinds of genre fiction and genres of literature more broadly.

Anyway, I realize you only applied criticism to flowcharts rather than "charts," but I felt like that should be articulated. I broadly agree with your sentiments. Which isn't to say that my approval matters or that I could possible enforce such a rule.

What are you doing with my dairy?

nice. Interested to see it. Here's one of mine from tonight for example. Just pretty much started writing on something that popped into my head. No research when into it whatsoever either, as I'm sure Azazel would not be the figure I'm needing for that role. I was playing binding of Isaac though so its whatever

Here's what I got, you probably won't be able to read any of it, I just like to show what it looks like. If anyone cares, I might type it up, there's a couple more pages.
