You clearly don't understand the Hippie movement nor romanticism. They just about couldn't be more unalike.

DUDE OPIUM LMAO

Lol the one on the left reminds me of Jimmy Page.

start with the greeks is a meme no one actually reads those books

>>8482658
It's just like the bible, it doesn't hurt to know them. You'll understand where a lot of modern stuff has its roots. And understanding is always good. And yes, it might make you understand greek philosophers a bit better, although I don't think it's really necessary.

Homer is all you really need. Herodotus is actually a very comfy read that suffers the indignity of translation much better than Homer does IMO.

So like 99% of all artists?

even if you get published, or famous or whatever, you'll never like your work. this is just how it is.

No. I did that once and I still regret it and now I have love letter phobia.
Actually I don't regret it because

Charlotte love, it's not you I like, but your thighs. If I could separate you from your thighs, and take them home with me, I'd call your thighs: Paige, and I'd love them dearly more than I could ever love you. But for the time being, I love you too.

I've read this before

Sweet reminder that you're only "amazing" in comparison to the heap of trash she has to read every semester.

>>8482628
Probably this.
Been in the same situation a few times, might just be my inability to perceive praise as genuine, or that my half assed effort, was more than anyone else bothered to put in.

This. In my high school English classes I always got C's or low B's on all my papers. Then in college for all my classes that writing is involved the teacher can't seem to stop sucking my dick over my writing.

I honestly view my writing as unorganized without a unifying idea. It seems like I write whatever comes to mind and I find relevant. But for some reason I college the teacher's always give me A's when in high school the same paper would've gotten me a C.

>>8482608
The word "love" sure seems to get thrown around a lot these days.

>>8482612

>>8482617

Who is this

>>8482466
someone get this kid a girlfriend to shut him up

>>8482486
Perhaps the same could be said of all philosophers.

>>8482506
Isn't it ridiculous that all a man needs to shut up is a woman?

>>8482423
No they're too busy pursuing dick just like teenage boys are too busy pursuing pussy.

I Am Charlotte Simmons.

War and Peace, a significant plot point but not the focus.

YA and a critical eye is probably a goldmine but I don't have any specific recommendations.

They like handsome and rich boys around their age, especially if they listen to pop or hip hop.

What's the writer's hypothesis?

>>8482428
From the little I've checked out, it's along the lines of choosing the right industry to focus on, generally manufacturing. He basically says that the easiest route to a wealthy state is to promote stateside manufacturing instead of primary industry, such as China's development from preindustrial agricultural society before WW2 to the economic powerhouse of today, while many shitty europoor countries remain economically stagnant for hundreds of years despite long-term access to automation, etc. Or something like that. I'm a geologist, not a economist

>>8482435
Another good case study is North vs South Korea

It's this thread again

"With girls, Nature has had in view what is called in a dramatic sense a “striking effect,” for she endows them for a few years with a richness of beauty and a, fulness of charm at the expense of the rest of their lives; so that they may during these years ensnare the fantasy of a man to such a degree as to make him rush into taking the honourable care of them, in some kind of form, for a lifetime—a step which would not seem sufficiently justified if he only considered the matter. Accordingly, Nature has furnished woman, as she has the rest of her creatures, with the weapons and implements necessary for the protection of her existence and for just the length of time that they will be of service to her; so that Nature has proceeded here with her usual economy. Just as the female ant after coition loses her wings, which then become superfluous, nay, dangerous for breeding purposes, so for the most part does a woman lose her beauty after giving birth to one or two children; and probably for the same reasons."

ultimate mghow

is this book about childpornography? i havent read it yet should I?

Penguin used a Balthus painting as a Lolita cover? I see that image on two blogs, but I suspect it's fake.

>asking /lit/ for advice
your book will never get published.

>>8482132
yeah thats real shit n overplayed tbqh senpai

i know you've probably seen breaking bad, so think about how the writers portrayed gus fring. the real dangerous people are the people that know they shouldnt act in ways that would mark them as dangerous.

here's a toast to you developing a character past flatness.

>>8482132
Yeah, I feel I've seen this exact scene somewhere before...

And I don't know, if your intention is to convey how dangerous the villain is, then doing so in a humorous scene like that doesn't really work. Because it's mainly just stupid and laughable, and makes the villain and his forces look like non-threatening idiots. This kind of thing only fits a pirate movie for children.
