Hi /lit/, first time poster here; I recently made the decision to stop going to /v/ and /tv/ and start reading again.
I've acquired all of the work/books by Jung and I was wondering if I should read them all in the year they were released or if some should be skipped (for whatever reasons).
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Use an Italian last name. Put Di or De before a name with double consonants.

So Bob Dylan doesn't even want this fucking prize all of you are so butthurt about him receiving. And now all these literature fans are all pissed off he doesn't think this stupid award is even worth mentioning when all of them were crapping their pants about it.
Bob Dylan is truly far above any poet or author.

this thread is a fantastic contribution to the shit sandwich of /lit/'s current state. congratulations on being a prime example of the degeneration of literary fulfillment and community.

I don't read fiction books. I find it useless for writing.
What do you learn from those? They're basically stories constructed over world inspiration itself.
Reading a story leaves you with a deformed vision of the world. Reading about the world itself makes you able to write deformed stories about it.

Why are the themes of death and suicide so prevalent in J.D. Salinger's writing, Pham?

Maybe because he was preoccupied with death and suicide

>>8649959
I've never read a word of Salinger but I'm going to take a wild guess that it has a lot to do with the simple fact that Salinger was a human being.

This is an unironic post
Is there any literature that, for example, captures the feeling of extreme anxiety and overall madness as good as this tracks does?

Is it possible for a book series to get this big in the modern age? Or was that the last time it will ever happen?

Yes but nobody reads Twilight anymore and in 10 years' time 50 Shades will be forgotten. Harry Potter is still going strong.

It's for his short stories dumbass. Nobody in their right mind would sell the rights to their book for a dollar.

do you usually admit that you like to read when a co-worker asks what you do in your free time?
seems like reading is a huge cock block

Overlooked Literary Erotica
With all the trash out there, sometimes it's easy to remember that some writers continue to produce what is, for lack of a better term, literary erotica that transcends mere genre fiction.
Ariel Sands is the pen name of a celebrated writer of non-fiction. She has never revealed her true identity. Imagine a well-written BDSM novel—probably autofiction—that is what all the fans of Fifty Shades should have been reading.

Slave to Love, Jose Ma. Alvarez. The celebrated Spanish poet wrote only one erotic novel among a substantial corpus of accomplished work. The book's original title is "La esclava instruida" and has been available in a little-known translation for only a short time.

Mr., by Emma Becker. Emma Becker's novel about a 20 year old fan of erotic fiction and her forty-something physician lover was published to great acclaim in Paris. She has recently finished a new novel, Alice, which has yet to be translated.

It's the greatest novel ever written in English. Yes.

no, Finnegans Wake is.
