Write your autobiography and read it. Should do the trick nicely.

There's a documentary about him and a number of webcomics about him/his characters.

Don Quixote

First what we know. We know there are four stories.
>Bandits
>Brides
>Dead Samurai
>Woodcutter
FACTS: We know the story of the bandit, bride and dead samurai are all heard by the woodcutter. We know the woodcutter stole the bride’s knife. We know the bandit was found with the swords and horse. We know one person must have committed the murder.
REASONS: Each have different reasons for giving their story that we have to meet to find the true story. The Bandit’s story is justified by self-glorification; in it he describes himself as the killer. The bride’s story is justified by purity; in it she describes herself as the killer. The dead samurai’s story is justified by shock; in it he describes himself as the killer. The woodcutter’s story is a justification of his greed and in it the bandit is the killer.

It is a book tho

>>8615670
STORIES (From least to most credible):
>Woodcutters: His story is the same as the bandits, minus the glorification, one that paints all actors as flawed. This makes the story seem credible, but it maintains large holes in logic. Firstly, he has already heard the bandits story, so his is already compromised. Secondly, his story is told with the knowledge that he stole the knife, so he has an incentive to leave it out of the story, which he does. Thirdly, the bandit leaves after the wife, exhausted, so he probably wouldn’t have made it to the horse. Fourth, if the bandit is so traumatized by the event, why does he take the sword, and if so, why not the knife. Last, the bride incriminates herself when she could clearly throw the blame on the Bandit for the murder. Why would she do this?
>Bandit: At first his story seems plausible; it is already self-incriminating and he states that “I have no reason to lie.” The story throughout is glorifying, but other than that why should this story be dismissed? The reasons are multiple. Firstly, is the fact that he left the knife at the scene, something a bandit wouldn’t do if he collected the samurai’s sword for sale. Secondly, THE BRIDE LEAVES BEFORE HIM, this is important because if the bride leaves before him then she gets to the horse first and he should not be in its possession. Lastly, the bride incriminates herself and once again we don’t see a reason for her to lie. To seem less evil and fickle, then why didn’t she just tell a smaller lie. Last if he is to be blamed, why not put the weight of the deed honorable on himself.

Did anyone draw asses better than Frazetta?

Just read The Story of the Eye and you'll know what good erotica looks like.

>>8615987
Absolutely not.

Hiw women are always perfectly proportioned. There was one other artist who drew scenes like this particularly well, but I can't remember his name, now.

I have a real problem

I usually read how much I want to, I don't have any time goals. It can be just one or two chapters if the book is divided into chapters or stories, it can be an hour. I also read a lot waiting for classes or trains, so usually until the start of the class or until getting back home, it can be one or one and half an hour.
In home I read a bit in the morning, and some more in the night, sometimes I can read for two or three hours in the night, usually to the end of the book. I don't turn my phone off, I don't really use it anyway during the day, only in the morning as an alarm clock. I don't take it with myself anywhere.
I don't do anything while reading other than reading, sometimes when I'm out I'll check the hour because I'm waiting for the classes or a train, like I said before. Or I'll drink some water if I'm thirsty.

Just fuck my shit up

Dylan, Dylan, he's our man!
If he can't win it, no one can!

>>8615534

This makes me angry, and I am a third worlder.

Whitman and Poe are the greatest American writers.

Giving the Nobel Prize to Dylan is saying there arent writers anymore.

Cohen, Dylan, Beefheart the list goes on

>>8615449
Now that plebs are comfortable discussing their shit taste on /lit/, let's nuke 4chan

Nobel laureate Mark E. Smith.

It must be hard going from a somebody to a nobody but going full on crazy old guy screaming at people is pathetic.

>>8615399
>going from a somebody to a nobody
walking somebody on stage is pretty nobody-tier if you ask me, if this is his greatest achievement he's just pathetic

>>8616385
Oh yeah, well who the fuck are you?

Hey man just a suggestion. Maybe try writing about anarchism or an anarchist society since there are so many stories written about Utopian futures. Maybe go for the polar opposite, write about a crumbling society in complete chaos and someones experience or journey to survive. Or maybe talk about an anarchist society in the sense that although there are no laws and no authoritarian rulers; people still manage to live in harmony with one and another. Just a suggestion.

I wrote something just for you senpai:
I was aimlessly polishing the coffee machine, stroking its steam wand with my undivided attention, when my nemesis announced her entrance by slamming the entrance door. Its wooden frame whimpered like a wounded old hound. I turned to see her approaching the cashier cautiously with a steady pace. Fixing her eyes on mine with the concentration of a duelist on guard, she gently barked.
‘Single espresso with a chocolate brownie.’
She produced a purse from the dense forest of her fur coat and extracted a banknote. Clipping it between the tips of her index and middle fingers, she slowly extend the folded note to me, with the curiosity and hostility of feeding a tamed giraffe in the zoo.
‘Here’s your change.’
I replied as I dumped her coins to the empty space next to her expectant opened palm. With a soundless sigh, she scraped them up and found a seat under the air conditioner. I promptly turned up its wind speed, hoping the artificial gust would force her coat on. While the machine hummed and growled as it excreted its dark bitter juice into a bone china teacup, I was busy picking the most uncomfortable brownie for my nemesis. For you see, she has the habit of dividing brownies into bite size cubes and I need the softest one that would crumble under the slightest pressure in order to sabotage her ritual.
After serving her my own kind of poison, I turned up the music, allowing speakers to blare a cacophony of Katy Perry at her direction. She was not allowed to enjoy her chic novella, not in my shop at least. In retaliation, she grabbed the cup with her whole hand, an act as atrocious as a raiding viking grabbing a helpless damsel by her waist. As she made loud sips that pierced through the already deafening songs, she allowed droplets of coffee to descend along the external wall of their ceramic prison.
It took her a whooping 15 minutes to escape from my torture chamber. As she announced her retreat by slamming the door again, I leapt to her table to collect my tableware and assess the work of my nemesis. Atop of the polished teak, a galaxy of brownie bits orbited around a ring of coffee stain. I wiped away this world of mishap with the fury of a disappointed god and returned to masturbating a coffee machine.

>>8615642
More power verbs. More synonyms of nemesis. Make me hate to hate the woman by the man's pettiness and make me love to hate the man by further making him a spitefully 'just' victim

I'll kill you, faggot.

>>8615207
try Highway 61 Revisited

Only newfags will bite You but if you must know (as I doubt you've read it) it so happens that the Great Gatsby is indeed not very well written.

Bob Dylan is actually Thomas Pynchon

It died when HRH King Obongo I won the peace prize Tbh

>>8614404

It died long before that.

They've been nothing but propaganda pieces for decades.

Wolf deserves it far more than Dylan. Clearly, the Nobel Committee hasn't read Book of the New Sun, or much of anything for that matter.

sorry this is /mu/ now we don't do books

I spend 1-3 hours a day in the library looking at secondary materials on weekdays, but I don't check out novels or anything.
