The Love's always free ?

They're pretty cool scifi. I remember liking the Corps of Engineers novellas.

The Blish books tend to be the cream of the crop. They're very pulpy though

Literally only read trek fanfiction

I thought it was a bit of a contrived mess, like the worst parts of the corrections (chips second half) but the whole book.

There were some good parts, the family drama. But the global intrigue always destroys my willing suspension of disbelief when it comes from Franzen.


Still, that scene... [spoiler/] I'm gonna fuck you in the ass [/spoiler] yikes. Intense.

Why would anyone read Franzen? The man's a complete hack.

I hate people who likes Rimbaud tbqh
9 times out of 10 they only say the like him because of that stupid picture where he is an 11/10 and haven't read anything written by him or if they have they have not understand it or find it moving at all.

I haven't read any Rimbaud but you can tell when people are pseuds with vague or "ohsoprofound" obscurintic responses.

Fuck Rimbaud.

It's cool because I remember seeing stuff just like that in dreams as a kid.

female sexuality terrifies me so i try to compensate by taking copious amount of prescription amphetamine meds

>plan and outline for work
>scared you'll fuck up a good story with your shitty prose

I'm hungry.

>>8328889

Would we? I imagine most of us would be illiterate peasants who knew nothing about history and wondered where the sun went during night.

What a pathetic fallacy.

FUG

This is how one reads deeply. Looking up critical angles on the literature you read is important. I would only suggest looking into sources other than Sparknotes due to its tendency to oversimplify things - but I can also understand the use of Sparknotes out of sheer convenience.

Lots of propaganda. They jail anyone who writes negative about the government or any politician, and the government censors all the media including the internet.

Interesting to see this. I speak Mandarin but I was under the impression all they put out is fucking trash. Could still be right but 1 of 440,000 has gotta be good.

>>8328845
in my experience it's predominantly independent stories from weibo writers and a lot of kids workbooks.
