We've been having these really mean threads recently. Where every poster essentially insults previous anon, quite harshly on that. Example of /lit/ conversation
>what is some good literature?
>guy posts war and peace
>but russian literature is all garbage
>no you, kill yourself
I've been on other boards since 2013 and I haven't seen kysses flying to eachother so frequently. Well, maybe /a/ is just as bad. What is it with you guys? Could it be that literature people are more neurotic than gamers etc?

Is this book better than 1984?
17 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
It's a lot deeper in my opinion because the world in the book is something that you could actually want, whereas 1984 is some interesting things about real life put into a setting that's just bleak and obviously bad from the start.
>>
Both were garbage.
I'm aware they were satire, it doesn't make them good.

What is your excuse /lit/? Why you are trying to compensate for your ignorance? For I hate that man like the very Gates of Death
who says one thing but hides another in his heart.

has anyone else lost their childness? I was late to develop, but i remember thinking to myself, at 11 or 12 years old, ill never loose mmy sense of childness. and im 20, and its gone. ive never felt a sense of wonder or imagination in years. ive got a small glimpse at it when travelling and seeing a new environment. but ive never felt the same since childhood. how do i return to this state? what is some good literature to spark that since of wonder and curiosity and imagination that ive seen to have lost since puberty?

This poster isn't joking. Do you do drugs? try smoking weed once a week or something. That's one of the reasons I don't do it anymore, it makes me into too much of a child. But if that's ideal for you, weed/other light drugs in small doses might work for you.

I used to own a used bookstore. I see a few posts every now and then asking about /lit/ jobs or asking about where to find some weird rare books. I can probably answer some questions.

I don't know if there's any interest in this, but I'll give it a shot.

Kindle because
a) I'm poor
b) my fingers start to hurt if I have to read a fat book for a long time
c) I don't jerk off to my collection like half this board

>>8739699
Physical always. Used books or a library are alternatives if you don't have money.
>>
>>8739699
Physical new. I'm pretty patrician that way. I will by used though I have a Kindle too, but it's just an inferior reading experience imho.
