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.

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.

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?

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".

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.

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 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.

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
