Fuck off, virgin.

a common misconception as to what Atlas is carrying on his shoulders.

trust me, OP. don't bother. It's boring as hell, nobody takes Rand or her philosophy seriously and its like 1000+ pages. It's a huge waste of time.

If you really need long meme books grab IJ or GR

Actually pretty good, like BeckettxBurroughs fanfiction (don't these two often end up associated together to describe other books, somehow?). Prose rhythm works well even in translation. "Inflate the sentence. Try to make it burst."

AP obviously, it was a specifically designed piece of literature. MTW is a case study.

>MTW is a case study.

I thought it was a symbol of a generation

It's like a worse version of Spanish

Because Latin is better in every way.

I rather learn elvish, if we're going for languages invented by a single man

You've already made this thread several times before. Search the archive.

Or I can end the thread by giving you the answer you're looking for: it's the kikes, Deus vult, praise lord KEK

>>8639283
I've never made this thread, fuckface

It's because of cultural Marxism, man! It's a way to breed out whiteness. They want to genocide you.

Watch your back, you've been warned

>>8639255
yep, lit has an amazing philosophy guide that I can only recommend

Start with the Greeks

What's postmodernism?

>>8639203
you can't quite define it.
what's 'what' btw?
'what's ''s', too?

Postmodernism is academia. There is no postmodernism. Only academia trying to fill its pockets, as it genuflects and calls itself 'skepticatheistfeministnopomo', it is the reverse of all these... Also... Grow up.

Wow, alcohol lonely church and too intellectual for plebs!??!?!!

You are so authentic

Take up cigarettes too and put on captain beefheart

Get your head out of your ass. Don't expect deep conversation with people you've just met or only talked to on the most casual terms, they aren't there to satisfy your need to discuss, so to discuss deeper, you'll need to get to know them deeper and to get to know them deeper please check out the first sentence.

give American Gods a shot, though

but you got 4chan bro.
what else do you need?

take into account the people that are small or intelectual was always a small elite.

I don't get it. If you've marathoned it, you've already read it? In this case, you already know what you were in for.
If you haven't read it yet:

Footnotes.

I'm sorry but you have to study shitposting a little bit more.

Authorial Interventions out the wazoo.

No one comes closer to disrupting the novel form than DFW. He uses the AI as a metacritique of metawriting. In Hegelian terms Infinite Jest is the negation of the negation of post-modernism.

Pay attention to the class.

Quirky xD!

What makes you think that?

Absolutely not

Whatever you think of the site right now, what was it's equivalent in era's gone? Bunch of teenagers talking shit about pretty much everything into their late 20s

What do you actually think our current leaders were doing in their formative years?

I've been here for longer than I'd want to admit, but I've had a lot of laughs and in between the shitposting witnessed a lot of wit and genius

I've met a lot of true golden era memesmiths too all over the web, all those pioneers who will never take credit for their work, something so melancholic in that imo

Take a look at /pol/, we're the intellectuals of today.

We're not afraid to call out anyone.

We are tired of political correctness

We are tired of being oppressed as white men

We will never fall for equality

Women are inferior

The redpill will be studied in future universities. They will not start with the Greeks but the cuckposting and calls for genocide on /pol/

Praise Lord KEK!

How does one check objectively if one's writing work is good and not just pretentious?

What's the recommended reading order for Gass/Gaddis/McElroy/et. al? I was exhausted by McElroy's "Night Soul and Other Stories" but want to get into more difficult lit (interspersing them into my regular queue).

>>8640242
Get feedback from people who don't know you (and who you don't know) personally. Bonus points if you've read other criticism they've written that you respect. Get a lot of that feedback to diversify opinions and form a consensus.

Bump for interest as I'm considering starting Lovecraft as well.

>>8639044
Lovecraft's starter kit :

The Call of Cthulhu
At the Mountains of Madness
The Dunwich Horror
The Shadow Over Innsmouth
The Colour Out of Space
The Case of Charles Dexter Ward
Herbert West–Reanimator
The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath

I read it first in that order, but it doesn't really matter
