I thought Camus was pretty uplifting desu.
From /r/ books:
Maybe stop reading classics then? Classics tend to either be polemics or very depressing, neither of which are that fun to read. They will, however, become much more meaningful if you reread them after you've gained years of the sad kind of life experience.
So how about reading something you find fun and enjoyable, like fiction, biographies, or nonfiction that explains science to the laymen?
Thoughts on classics not being worthwhile for the young?
Obviously you shouldn't read books you don't enjoy.
That commenter seems to think it's inconceivable that someone could find the classics fun and enjoyable though.

>Obviously you shouldn't read books you don't enjoy.
Pseud alert. Of course you should read books you don't enjoy, there's more to the project of literature than your immediate self gratification
>>8745694
>not posturing about why you read makes you a pseud
Pseud logic everyone.

any reason to read cormac's screenplay if i wasn't a fan of this movie when it came out? i'm thinking i may like it better in the fiction format because i didnt like the acting in the movie
The movie was great. Everyone but me is an idiot.
>>8745522
If you did like the monologues and the dialogues, then sure. There are some extended bits here and there. If not, no point in doing so. The movie does not change anything significative.
hola!
How does life experience influence the creative process of an author?How much does it matter?
>>8745452
Creativity is, to oversimplify, the merging and morphing of ideas to form new ones. The more life experience an author has, the more ideas he has to work with.
You could get by without it and write some pretty shit, but likely it won't be remembered.
O shit,cine esti?
Going off of their works, is this title accurate?
>>8745436
I'm not sure I understand what this picture is trying to say, but I'm convinced it's something very fucking stupid.
Whats wrong with Darwin? It was my understanding his ideas are still the basis of biology
>>8745469
It's one of those heartland America Facebook memes. You're supposed to think evolution is a lie peddled by the Kenyan socialist atheist president who wants to steal your guns.
That's how dumb it is.
What do you do for English literature?

What kind of translation is that?
https://quran.com/49:10
The highlighted word reads "muminun", which means believers, not the whole of humanity.
Why do people falsify the Quran through translation.
>>8746112
Jesus Christ it even says "illama al muminun akhouya", ONLY the believers are brothers, so make peace with your brothers, nothing about being "brethren" with the whole of humanity.
Jesus Christ this triggers me so much, it's so easy to verify.

Yes, read her book of poetry called Ariel. It's all about being sad that she fell in love with a dick. Really good desu.
Where do I start on poetry, /lit/?
Can I just go look up who are the greatest poets and read random poems or should I do this methodically?
Please give me some suggestions.
Just get a copy of the Dream Songs and go from there.
Step one: Learn greek
Step two: Learn chinese
??????????
Done
Stop being so poor and reliant on others.
Cheers.
Any books on free will?
Physicalist denial of free will in favour of universal hard determinism preferably?
You don't need to read a book on hard determinism. Dude chemicals lmao, the end.
Physics doesn't mean the choice isn't YOURS, just that the choice you'll make is predetermined by your own characteristics. It is still YOUR chemicals choosing it, rather than an external force.
But honestly this discussion on the 21st century is fucking semantics go for something better
