post some rare pinceones, thommyboy

>>8658269
You speak of those as if they're mutually exclusive...

>>8658269
read de Sade. It's the inversion. The voice of reason becomes its opposite, i.e. really imperative to enjoy

>>8658275
This.

>the voice of reason isn't advocating the pursuit of hedonistic pleasure.

You're #Spooked son.

>>8658169
Well let's not pretend he won it on merit.

Sorry pushkin and dumas were the only black authors reading.

Or that we care about literary prizes.

We only talk about the nobel because it was a hilarious goof, not because anyone cares that someone more 'deserving' didn't get it.

And yeah, this is a clear case of social programming anyway. The Sellout was a soulless, shameless exercise in hot-topic race-baiting. Readers are too smart to fall for that shit.

Then again, readers are too smart to care about literary prizes, so, good job, Beatty.

Invulnerable still has vulnerable whereas vincible sounds strong.

>>8658180
Don't know about you, but I'm feeling vincible.

>>8658133
Invincible. Invulnerable sounds more transitory to me, possibly from /tg/ word association.

>>8658130
wow really makes you think

In 2 days it'll be exactly a year since my puppy died. I'm sorry for your loss anon, I only have condolences to give.

Paul Jennings' short story The Busker from his collection titled "Unbelievable"

Look like it isn't written by a white man. I'm redpilled, so you know my answer

>>8658040
We can all enjoy this satirical shitpost and have a good laugh, but it's important to remind everybody that white men write literature that is objectively superior to that composed by every other identity.

I mean, it's not as if I think only white men can write well. I just think only white men have written well.

New Sun wasn't particularly hard, Wolfe makes his point clear.

>>8657995
It was convoluted until the end due the the narration style

>>8658010
It was confusing at times and needed piecing together, not convoluted.

>>8657889
Thank you

Spooks will spook. Go out and do something worthwhile, pissant.

>>8657889
Daily reminder that spook posters are mentally ill and have not read any of his works.

the haunting of hill house is nice

>>8657760
Neil Gaiman's short stories.

Don't bother with his novels though.

End yourself

There were best selling hacks throughout the past.
During the 20's 30's n shit.
You probably never read or heard of them.

Ever read Peter Kyne?
James Oliver Curwood?
Warwick Deeping?
P. C. Wren?

I haven't.

>>8657665
>Are extremely successful authors like James Patterson "hacks"?
Of coursh.
>do you think he will be remembered as one of the greats?
Of coursh not.

>>8657665
>There's something depressing about these authors who keep hitting the best seller lists, do you think he will be remembered as one of the greats?
It's that they assault you with their mediocrity. With most mediocre people, you can ignore it.

Are all these writing threads being started by the same person?

No, they probably don't think they're great when they start because in most cases, they're not great. That only sometimes happens after a few books. Ideally you want to be self aware about how shit your writing is.
