Cohen's defense of historical materialism is good stuff, although he gave up on it.

Study Narratology

Narratology
narratology.info/narratology/

Narratology is the study of the forms, structures, media, functions, and evolution of narrative, with a special emphasis on Story.

On one end of the narrative spectrum lies a mere representational sequence of events that may or may not have a beginning, middle, and end (an Arc). At the opposite end lies Story, with an Arc, an indivisible and universal structural pattern called a Narreme, and meaning over and beyond the mere representational (a Theme).

Story = Arc+Narreme+Theme

General Introduction to Narratology
cla.purdue.edu/english/theory/narratology/modules/introduction.html

NARRATOLOGY EXAMINES THE WAYS that narrative structures our perception of both cultural artifacts and the world around us. The study of narrative is particularly important since our ordering of time and space in narrative forms constitutes one of the primary ways we construct meaning in general.

The Art of Storytelling

http://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/the-art-of-storytelling-from-parents-to-professionals.html

Dr. Hannah B. Harvey is an award-winning professor, an internationally recognized performer, and a nationally known professional storyteller.

There are many reasons we relate and respond to stories

Professor Harvey calls the act of creating a story performance an “alchemical process” that involves an interconnected cycle of talking, writing, imaging, playing, and rehearsing

>why do you masturbate if no one can see you? What's the point of masturbating if you have no friends or a gf that can see the spunk coming out of your dick?

/lit/ is for the discussion of literature, specifically books (fiction & non-fiction), short stories, poetry, creative writing, etc.
Which part was too difficult to understand ?
Nobody gives a fuck about whats on your shelf

Of mice and men is the only one I've read. It's ok.

>>8343474
I've read the Pearl and of Mice and Men, both were solid. Steinbeck is a great writer, I'd encourage you to pick up the whole collection

They're all great novels imo, and that book itself is pretty high quality for a decent price

It's not shit.

The title is good. The book is dogshit

HAHAHAHAH SO FUNNY GOD, REAL NICE MEME, ILL DIE ALONE AND MISERABLE AND BALD LIKE A FAGGOT

I browse /lit/ on my phone so I can /lit/erally shitpost

I wait until I absolutely have to go. Then I sit and feel that shit squeeze and push out of my anus. I revel in it.

To spend time with your anus muscles loose, gaping, is asking for a hemorrhoid.

Don't you watch the news?

>>8343153
yes, leftists

Catholics will tell you, "yes."

Otherwise, it's a general descrip ascribed to overwhelmingly acknowledged bad things.

PPS: J'oubliais, encore, je crois qu'il existe une version (de l'époque) allemande qui excluait une bonne partie de ce qu'Hitler pensait de la France, et ce qu'il faudrait (nous) faire. Bien évidemment, je cherche la version originale traduite en français, et pas la version propagande de l'époque sans ces (nombreux semble t'il) passages.

No. Read Theory of Festivity by Josef Pieper. You can try to invent wonder and celebration that mimics those elements of faith, but you'll never get there.

Grayling did write a secular bible, however I have no time for that sort of nonsense (even though I respect Grayling). Anyway, I suspect you're just depressed.

Read some uplifting fiction if you're sick of life.

Also, this thread is about to be derailed by people pretending to be Christian. Enjoy that OP.

I find the photos of Dylann Roof to be quite touching. An unemployed and quiet young guy who couldn't rely on his family, filled with hatred, distances from his few remaining friends, who sought a kind of relief in the lonely surroundings of old, abandoned remnants of a by-gone era. I don't support what he did or anything, I just find it very sad.

>>8342887
Who would not want a picture of a hero on his hard drive?

>>8342854
Of Wilson's works - i found The Ants and Consilience the most intriguing. If I remember correctly, his other works are mainly cases studies of conservationism

>>8342854
After London by Richard Jeffries is an imagining of London after an apocalypse and he describes nature taking back its hold on the land.

Hey, OP! Where you the guy that said you'd start a natural history thread last night? I tried to start one today but it didn't catch on.
