The only possible answer is The Waste Land

Here's a better question:

What is the most important English poem of the 21st century?

Important in terms of the effect the poems had on poetry or the public? For poetry it's probably The Waste Land, for the public maybe Howl or I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

>Edgy enough to give Reggie Bush a wedgie
>So pass that ass to me let me squish the left cheek
>And press against the right one till it's smushed against me

what did he mean by this?

God damn Ive got nothing against this guy but his face is so repulsive to me that I cant listen to his music

Now in the Bible it says
Thou shall not watch two lesbians in bed,
Have homosexual sex
Unless of course you were given the consent to join in
Then of course, it's intercourse
And it's bi-sexual sex
Which isn't as bad, as long as you show some remorse for your actions
Either before, during or after performing the act of that which
Is normally referred to as such, more commonly known phrases
That are more used by today's kids
In a more derogatory way but
Who's to say, what's fair to say, and what not to say?
Let's ask Dr. Dre
Dr. Dre? (What up?)
I've got a question, if I may? (Yeah)
Is it gay to play Putt-Putt golf with a friend (Yeah)
And watch his butt-butt when he tees off? (Yeah)
But, up I ain't done yet
In football a quarterback yells out hut-hut
While he reaches in another grown man's ass
Grabs on his nuts but just what if
It was never meant it was just an accident
But he tripped, fell, slipped and his penis went in
His teeny-tiny little round hiney and he didn't mean it
But his little weenie flinched just a little bit
And I don't mean to go into any more details but
What if he pictured it as a female's butt?
Is that gay? I just need to clear things up
Till then I'll just walk around with a manly strut, because...

Haha yeah, I agree.

murakami is maybe my favorite writer of sex scenes.
I do think norwegian wood is probably the most powerful of his shorter novels, and I could talk about it at length. not really sure what it is you want to talk about about it.

Nigga he just did the End of Evangelion cause he felt like his dad betrayed him. Can't blame him for trying to find happiness away from other people, because if my Dad had two extra kids with his first wife after he married my Mom I'd probably do some stupid shit too.

He's a product of the burden of white privilege his struggle was internal. JK, he's a spoiled brat who got bored from living a life of mundanity and tried to stimulate himself by creating a fake struggle.

He fucked up but it's hard for me not to sympathize with his decisions and admire him in some ways

I was there once. What are some of your favorite books? Ease yourself into literature. Or, read Shakes aloud, like it's supposed to be done. Do it slowly and go back if you have to.

Imagine the motions and the stage if you have to, use your imagination
Just be yourself

I listened to malcolm gladwell books during the night shift. He has a good voice and the material is pretty interesting. Good luck anon.

>>8513950
That book is garbage. Did not hold up well.
Hope you like forced memes, faggotry, and edginess.

>>8513950
Pretty pleb, but you could have done worse. Read it and tell us what you liked or didn't about it.

Genesis, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, the Gospels, Apocalypse. For starters.

>>8513841
y not just read cover2cover

>>8513841
>Genesis
But Genesis is actually a great place to start! The stories are very short and are among the most heavily referenced.

After that maybe Job, which is also short and pointed, and then... basically what this anon said >>8513864


Psalms and Proverbs is for poetryfags though. Any one gospel is pretty short. Revelation is straight up sci-fi, honestly very exciting to read.
