As somebody who use to bonk skanks and now has a loving girlfriend, can confirm. What do the lovers of /lit/ think?

it is natural for men like you to crave the validation of their existence and get depressed if they fail to feel relevant, responsible, dutiful.
The best way for a man to cater his need for approval is to serve some woman (and some of her children) through emotional&financial support, which he sees as ''a childish useless submissive woman'' [or whore and he feels betrayed by her]
Men are pleased to contribute to someone else life, to support their family.
Why women are a good way to feel relevant? Because women love to be provided for and each woman will always find a man ready to please her.
[for most men, the best feeling of feeling real is when the girl moans from your cock in her pussy, or for the most impotent, their tongue in the pussy]
THe problem for men is that they are disposable in the eyes of each woman, since all men wish to serve the few women who talk to them.
Men must thus invent several ways to please women, invention and creativity which strengthen their feeling of being worthy, relevant, in touch with reality.
Men are too impotent to find other way to feel real.
Once that the a woman replaces a man by another provider, the man gets very upset and depressed.
THis leads men to think that they are better than women, stronger, smarter and that they must built a life outside women. Some men manage to indeed built an empire, but they will always loose it for some women.
Women give meaning to men and betas, no matter how successful outside women, will always give up everything for some relationship with some woman who claim to fancy them.
Uh... Duh? Do men not get this?
This passage is truthful but hardly insightful.

I know it's a meme to hate George RR Martin but I like the way he handles Magic in his stories
Is there a really good book about someone overcoming the desire to commit suicide?
Really need it at this time, /lit/. Please help.

I'd tap that.

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/aug/19/modern-version-of-don-quixote-declared-against-literature
>A new edition of Miguel de Cervantes’ 17th-century novel Don Quixote, which sees the classic story of the would-be knight errant adapted into modern Spanish, might be making waves in Spain, but Don Quixote scholar Ilan Stavans has said that Andrés Trapiello’s new version is needed if Spaniards are to keep on reading one of their country’s most celebrated works of literature.
>“Was there a need for a modern translation, then? Of course there was. Shakespeare is updated, adapted, modernised, and otherwise rewritten all the time and nobody makes a fuss. Those approaches, in my eyes, are a tribute, a celebration, an acknowledgment of the enormous debt we owe him,” said the scholar, drawing parallels between the situation in Spain and the uproar that greeted an Alabama publisher’s excision of the word “nigger” from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
>Trapiello’s edition is introduced by Nobel literature laureate Mario Vargas Llosa, who writes that the new version “rejuvenates” Cervantes’ novel, while allowing it to remain itself. Many readers, said Llosa, are discouraged from reading Don Quixote from beginning to end because of the “antique vocabulary” and the scholarly footnotes
Do you think they have a point here? Should we strive to keep classical literature up to date?
Updating spelling and punctuation is ok. Changing words, phrases, etc. is not ok. Rewriting with only the plot intact is abominable.
I prefer reading the original spelling though, I find it interesting.

It's not that deep: the board
>>8355966
Heh pick up Gravity's Rainbow and see how deep a book can really be.
There's cock imagery and pop cultural references.
You'd have to be really trained in literature to understand such genius
Well, obviously? Believing something is beyond your reach makes you a bad reader and exceptionally uninteresting person to talk with.

It is funny that there's disdain of plebs on /lit/ when most here are plebs themselves. They read mostly meme books that plebs have read for centuries. Sad.
Hi /lit/.
As you can see with the picture, I am more of a /mu/ guy.
However I would like to get into literature.
I checked the /lit/ list of essentials but I really don't know where to begin.
Here is what I like :
>Music
MBV - Loveless
Radiohead - Kid A
>Video games
Silent hill 2
Dark Souls
>Movies
It's such a beautiful day
Virgin suicides
American beauty
>TV series
Six feet under
The Sopranos
I love what makes me think about life itself, and how sometimes time can stop on very simple and short moments of everyday's life beauty.
Thank you very much for any recommendation, however I think I will need something "fairly easy" to start of reading as I've almost never read besides in school.

Is it even worth it to read for recreation when you're not very smart?
I like reading and language, however I just feel like a pseudo-intellectual reading for leisure. Like one of those glasses wearing, bearded hipsters loitering with a book in coffee shops.
I know I'm not smart. I'm shit at STEM, graduating with a meme degree soon, have a 110 IQ, and have zero lateral thinking skills. I feel like a phony when I pick up a book. Who am I kidding? I'm not smart.
>>8355811
You're being unnecessarily hard on yourself.
Just keep on reading.
just go to /r9k/, sounds perfect for you

Am I the only one who writes only to entertain people? I've been making fiction for a few years now, and I do it for the sheer joy of it and the joy that it brings people. Am I a pleb?
To be specific, I write horror stories on Reddit and erotic stuff in various other places. I really thrive on the idea of people getting pleasure out of my work.
>>8355649
>Am I a pleb?

Do you really have to ask?
>>8355654
Reddit provides me with clear feedback and an interested base of people. What exactly is so bad about it, great tripping one?

I'd love to give this to a feminist.
"Women are directly adapted to act as the nurses and educators of our early childhood, for the simple reason that they themselves are childish, foolish, and short-sighted—in a word, are big children all their lives, something intermediate between the child and the man, who is a man in the strict sense of the word. Consider how a young girl will toy day after day with a child, dance with it and sing to it; and then consider what a man, with the very best intentions in the world, could do in her place."
>tl;dr "women are children"
I'm sure she'd love to read Arthur's rant on noise

women are simply inferior
Is this a /lit/-style /r9k/-'woman-hate'-thread?
Would love to see a daily woman hate thread on /lit/, to redpill all the feminists and nu-male cucks on here
All women are mere holes; they're worthless whores.
>inb4 is your mom a worthless whore too?
Absolutely, a prime example of the inferior sex.
