If the prose is dank enough, you can do anything. Don't worry about plot-plebs

I once found an old paperback copy of the Last Days of Socrates where someone had underlined EVERY SINGLE LINE. and not just in the text either, they'd underlined every line of the pages about Also Available In Penguin Classics too.

>hey guys let's not even waste money on a cover artist for our cheap mass produced paperback, we'll save a bit that way and it's just going in bulk to schools where the kids won't give a fuck about it anyway
>omg so aesthetic

>>8441197

shut the fuck up you phony

Hope it's good, but from what I've read about it, I'm expecting an overwrought chore.

>>8441127

Do you think that in the sense that it's going to be unnecessarily dense or that it's going to go on more than it needs to in a pretentious way?

I don't discount your opinion, Moore is known to ramble but I feel like the years of build up have edited it down to the good bits.

>it's going to be unnecessarily dense or that it's going to go on more than it needs to in a pretentious way
and this

Moore is primarily a comic author, a medium where saccharine and ostentation are embraced and although I've never read his novels I have my doubts that he'll break away from his usual shock and psychological turbulence. He set out to write a tome, and that alone makes me feel as though it will be overwrought. I'm sure his reddit audience will love it, I would doubt that it's aimed at us, I'm sure it will be critically successful and hailed as a classic "from the genius behind Watchmen"

As far as artistic merit, I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

so true lmao!

XD

ayyyyyyy lmao bast is getting taken for the ride of his life all because J R lent him $10 lmaooooooo

Can someone explain what /lit was like when it was good? I've been here for a few years but it's always been the same consistent shit fest. Was there a golden age of /lit?

>>8440675
no

>>8440675
Every board says this shit anon. Don't be fooled.

4chan has always been cancerous, more so after it became famous. The tumor will never go away.

>>8440658
Yeah thats how it is at first. Youll probably get through another 200 bad ones before theres one you really like.

>>8440662
This. It's actually a good sign that you hate your first work, people who love any old shit they put on the page will never improve.

I don't think it is only because it's bad.
I suppose it made me think about personal stuff that I would rather not to think about. The fact of having to write about it makes me sad.

I should write about something else.

If it's good enough for the cornfather it's good enough for me.

Bloom is right. I think you belong back on /mu/, friend.

>>8440185

Well how do I know he's right? I'm honestly ready to learn how to appreciate books better. English class in school was a joke, so I didn't really have a chance to appreciate it by education.

>>8440061

Index cards

Usually scrap bits of paper because I always lose them.

That's when I'm not folding the fuck out of the corners of my pages, of course.
