I rarely come here but
Why do people on this board behave like this?
Here's the work in question that is for his "feminine audience"
So, /lit/, my girlfriend just broke up with me, and I wrote a big ol post about it (this is my only support structure, no friendz), and I had a moment of clarity and self-awareness before I typed "books for this feel?"
My post was completely banal. Suddenly, I saw every other "books for this feel?" I'd ever see, every >tfw no gf post, and remembered how little I, or anyone else, cared. How much those people got made fun of. The realization that something that effected me so profoundly got be so unimportant to literally everyone else in the world is a strange feeling.
For a second, I felt sympathy for all those people I've laughed at over the years. It didn't even last a minute. It occured to me that I wasn't wrong to not care about them, just as they wouldn't be wrong to not care about me. There's nothing exceptional about my circumstances, I'm just another person who will be dead eventually. I'm not even sad anymore about the breakup, now I just find it hard to care about anything.
So, with that said, books for this feel? Either why I shouldn't feel this way, or why it makes sense to feel this way.

Mrs. Dalloway gave me that feel; something that makes you feel immense, yet immeasurably small, both important and irrelevant
>>8747080
How is this not your default thought process? How have you lived so long laboring under the illusion that your girl problems matter?
Friendly reminder that your novel is still going to be shit in 2025

i bet someone told joyce something like that
Difference is he had a cute younger wife to sodomize at his leisure and a steady job working alongside his loyal brother in the warm climes of Italy. Meanwhile I'm a NEET living in his damp second-hand Volvo shivering in the showers of a local swimming pool each morning before spending my day in the library trying to write and read and stave off the depression that will undoubtedly claim my life by the end of this year.
>Of the colors, blue and green have the greatest emotional range. Sad reds and melancholy yellows are difficult to turn up. Among the ancient elements, blue occurs everywhere: in ice and water, in the flame as purely as in the flower, overhead and inside caves, covering fruit and oozing out of clay. Although green enlivens the earth and mixes in the ocean, and we find it, copperish, in fire; green air, green skies, are rare. Gray and brown are widely distributed, but there are no joyful swatches of either, or any of exuberant black, sullen pink, or acquiescent orange. Blue is therefore most suitable as the color of interior life. Whether slick light sharp high bright thin quick sour new and cool or low deep sweet dark soft slow smooth heavy old and warm: blue moves easily among them all, and all profoundly qualify our states of feeling.

Nice post.

What's everyone's favorite colors?
Mine has always been red.
Is that from "On Being Blue"?
Why is infinite rainbows such a shit book?
>>8746874
Why is Gravity's Jest such a hit book?
>>8746874
Are you fucking kidding me with this? This is so unbelievably asinine that I hope you never show your face around here ever again. Why don't you just go back to reading the wikipedia pages and then conversing with other pseudo intellectuals on r/Books? In fact why don't you head over to r/Belts and follow your stupid meme author to his latest book signing in 8th circle of hell where you get punished for Mediocrity and having no discernible talent? Why don't you consider lobsters at the bottom of the ocean with rocks tied around your ankles?

Name books that teach you how to persuade, change and influence people. So far I have 'How to Win Friends and Influence People'. This will be my first read. What else would /lit/ recommend? Pic related.
It's a talent, sorry.
>>8746713
However, I see you have a budding talent to win people over.
Why does EVERY female booktuber care more about their shelf than the actual books they read?
Their shelves are always full of shitty knick-knacks and are draped in Christmas lights. When they review books, they always talk superficially about how the story was "really good" and how the cover was pretty. They always have entire rows of unread Penguin library edition books, or the cloth bound classics.
Also, when they review classic books and discuss their favourite classics, they're always YA-tier pleb ones like Dickens, Austen, Bronte, Orwell etc.
Someone please recommend me a good female booktuber, they can't all be like this.
I can think of one, maybe two that are "pretty good".
>"What is a book that changed your life?"

Write me a poem using Rhyme, repetition, and alliteration. Don't make it too complex or long. I have a project for English due tomorrow and I need a poem.
Bright blossoms blooming in the springtime weather
Brown bouncing Bob on my best girl Heather
Bright blossoms blooming in the springtime weather
Neat little figure in an argyle sweater
My diary, to be true,
is something I wrote for you.
For you are me,
and here's your (You).
Hotheads have no honor;
real Redditors report these things.
So, go to bed, Connor,
and I'll get the last finishings.
Strings in the earth and air
Make music sweet;
Strings by the river where
The willows meet.
There's music along the river
For Love wanders there,
Pale flowers on his mantle,
Dark leaves on his hair.
All softly playing,
With head to the music bent,
And fingers straying
Upon an instrument.
Are there more of these, or lists in general, for other classic societies?
>>8746322
Do I have to read every fucking page of those last two? There like 2000 pages a piece..
I would like to see one these for ancient Egypt
Greece. consequently the Rome, wouldn't be shit without Egypcian knowledge;
>>8746326
If you want to tick the "Read" box on Goodreads then yes.
What is the self publishing scene like? Is it like in music where you make no money, never find an audience, never get noticed, and slowly hate what you loved?
>>8746250
I have no idea. But who is this semen demon?
>>8746284
google image search retard, it's 'hot girl in tight dress'
>>8746250
yeah, musicians always want to hate on record labels for taking a big cut of "their" money, but without the market and distribution work the labels the artists wouldn't even get a fraction of the sales...i remember that douche from NIN tried to do a tour without a record label "taking a cut" to promote the tour...and he was like "hey, how come radiohead has these giant billboards all over eastern europe and tons of posters on every bus stop, but my tour doesn't?!" it's like hey moron did you think those things come out of thin air? no, your evil money grubbing record label actually organizes that all for you so you can be an ungrateful little shit.

When will this god awful meme end?
When target markets for vidya isnt shit tier and when devs actually learn how to make a plot.
There are basically no writers in vidya because it supposedly can make development hell, but its actually a l2p issue.
>>8746110
Target markets for all mediums are shit-tier, and all the good games are often obscure because the medium is too young to have critical, deep analysis or influence people.
I was mostly referring to comics though.
Good video games =/= art, just like good books =/= art. Since most video games never try to be art, they wont be. Art is not defined by the medium. Fuck you OP. Fuck you and your shitty thread.

Dear lit, this is my first time posting on here so I may do it wrong. But I love survival stories. Always have since I was a kid with My Side of the a Mountain and Hatchet. Now I love stuff like The Road and pic related (just finished it half an hour ago). Do you guys have any recommendations? Google only pulls up children's novels or post apocalypse stuff
>>8745988
>the martian
>the road
if this is unironcally, people will tell you to go back to r/books.
I can at least recommend you a classic one, robinson crusoe.
You would like the revenant
>>8745988
you came to the wrong place, boyo.
but maybe The Revenant is what you're looking for
maybe, idk. never read it.
