Why on bloody earth is the new 4chains like this? Why do you take yourselves so seriously? Can't you just have fun and talk about literature? I don't understand how anyone well read can say things like that to anybody.
Can't we all just have fun and talk about literature?
This is just a daily reminder to be nice to people. If you want to be mean, go to some other board, please.

I just tried this thread in /mu/ but it didn't quite work. Hopefully you people are more interested in words then them.
Post songs with the best lyrics you know. Any genre, any time, they just have to be good. Also any language, so long as we can find a translation online (or you feel like providing it yourself).
I'll start with a few of my own favourites.
> "The end" - The doors
> "When the music's over" - The doors
> "Thunder Road" - Bruce Springsteen
> "The house of the rising sun" - original author unknown, most renowned version is by The Animals
> "Jah live" - Bob Marley
> "In a manner of speaking" - Tuxedomoon
> "L.A. Woman" - The doors
> "La guerra di Piero" - Fabrizio de André
> "The sound of silence" - Simon and Garfunkel
> "Guns of Brixton" - originally by The Clash, I prefer the version by Nouvelle Vague
> "The Hurricane" - Bob Dylan
> "Stairway to heaven" - Led Zeppelin (mainstream as fug but I can't leave it out)
> "Wild Horses" - Rolling Stones
> "Sister morphine" - Rolling Stones
> "Feathery" - Milky Chance
I guess that'll do for now, although the list could go on a long way.

How come when people accuse Chomsky of supporting Pol Pot they dont quote him or cite the work?
Isn't that a somewhat glaring omission?

>The question of whether or not Noam Chomsky supported the Khmer Rouge is not as clear as either his critics or his defenders would like to pretend. His critics frequently extract a handful of quotes from "Distortions at Fourth Hand" or After the Cataclysm and suggest that Chomsky was an enthusiastic advocate for the Cambodian communists. His defenders, meanwhile, limit their collections of quotes to Chomsky's disclaimers and qualifiers, conveniently ignoring the underlying theme of his articles: that Khmer Rouge Cambodia was not nearly as bad as the regime's detractors claimed.
Lots of stuff here bub.

Excerpt from debut novel:
>"He had been dreaming of the cats when the scratching of the dog at his door awoke him. He awoke, by degrees and blearily, to find himself ensconced on his couch, awash with a medley of tins and tang of staling booze, his mobile phone numbly clutched in his porky palm, the metal now wet with the sweat of his clasp, glistening from the slimy balm that fell from every oozing pore all over the skin of his body. For he had fallen asleep in the midst of a message he had been typing, with no small struggle (so fat were his fingers, so tiny the keys), intended for Arsene, which so far read:"

What does Nagel refer to when he mentions the first kind of way to address this question?
In the book this is from (A Very Short Introduction to Philosophy) he makes it clear that he has no interest in getting into which author said what but would rather focus on what was said and the "puzzling questions" of philosophy themselves, without reference to individual authors.
Even so, I want to read up more on this particular view. If it is even something that is commonly held.

The OP was meant to refer to THIS image.
The description of the idea he outlines under the title of "First", I'd like to know what it is conventionally called in academic circles, a quick name that people use to refer to it? So I can read more about it?

I have this story. I have this story. I have this story. I can’t break free from it. I am woman. I am divine goddess. I am Gaia. Your mother, your sister. Your lover. I am womb. The portal to all life. Pure, consuming love. I am of this body. My supple breasts, my sturdy legs. My feet that have danced me through life. My sexuality. My heartbreak. My story. My story. My lineage. I am love. Sending love and receiving love, daily.To myself, to my tribe. To my god. In a state of continence, yes. For now. Without touching. Just to feel. Just to feel. Just to feel each other with our subtle bodies. An invitation.To be present in spirit. To connect in a field of vibration. My most invigorating work. Watching desire. Patterns of affection.Things are good as they are but desire comes, does it not? Is it safe? Tell me your dreams under fluffy down blankets. We wrap tightly into each other. Our frequencies touch. Just two months. Just two months. It is important that I reach this goal. For myself. For Gaia. For woman. For Mother. For Sister. I am harnessing my divine and sexual power. For me. To Share. One day with you. And you? You meet me with fear. With needs unmet. I am confused. I feel panicked. Trust. I had trust! Are you not practicing free love? Are you not exploring lovingly with all? Why can't we just be what we are. Love how we love. For now. Willing to wait. Willing to develop trust. Willing to love. Fully, unconditionally, openly. I am crying inside. What is the cost? What is it all worth? My body? My lips? My scent? Receive now and receive only part of me. But allow me my journey and I would be fully yours for the moment. In my power. In my full body; with you. I wanted it. I wanted it all. But I can't meet your needs. Though I stop you not from meeting them elsewhere. Please, please, please. See me once for more than my soft, youthful skin. For more than my soft youthful curves. Oh, the day when man will be able to hold me. To hold us.Sisters. For who we are. For our full selves. Unleashed, empowered. Fully open and alive. I wait for you. I wait for you. I wait for you, still.

Yes, but how do your farts smell?
I'll be honest, being on /lit/ makes me feel shit about both what I read and write. I'm a crossboarder from /tg/ and can handle the bantz there, but here the entire attitude feels toxic. Enjoyment, no matter what you're enjoying is incorrect. Don't know, can I just not take the bantz or is /lit/ actually a toxious community?

I've found this to be the most unilaterally accepting board. My literary opinions are enthusiastically accepted, my critiques are found useful. and my subtle shitposts get many keks and (You)'s.
You need to read more. Try and stop subvocalizing, kid, it's slowing you to a snail pace.
>>
>>8667266
you just have to come to terms with the fact that, at the end of the day, what is "good" and "bad" literature is completely up to you. stop caring so much about what other people think, read the things you like, and realize that the opinions of people on this board literally don't matter. it's fun for discussion, but don't take it so seriously
>>
What are you a woman? Fuck this "toxic environment" shit, every board is plagued with elitism shitposting. Why do you care so much what other people think?

Don't worry, critics didn't appreciate it at the time it was published, either. You're just another wrong critic in a long line of them.

So what happened with the samizdat? I just finished the book tonight and more or less loved it up to the end, where it felt like 100 pages were just plain missing. I reread the first "Year of Glad" chapter, and the bit about Hal and Gately digging up J.O.I's head was enlightening, but it seems like there's too much of a gap for the book to feel at all complete.

Or was absolutely the entire book narrated by J.O.I. out of some conceit of wanting his final film to be viewed as Entertaining, or something?

i'm not reading this because of spoilers and i'm leaving the thread after this, maybe view this in the archive later on because i'm reading IJ right now, 43 pages in and loving it except wardine be cry.
>>
>>8667105
Eh. Spoiler's don't actually spoil this book all that much, as you'll find out. The things that are surprising in it will surprise you either way, purely by the way that they're written. Glad you're liking it so far - honestly, it took me getting halfway through before I was really into it and catching most everything that's going on.
What books take me away from this nightmarish reality?
