There isn't one.

It's meant to mollify your logical mind so you're a good little bitchboy for the emperor.

They simply realized how fallible words and concepts really are, so they stopped trying to put the word in a bottle and decided to live the comfy life.

It is important to better understand Stephen's chapters.

Define "epic prose poem"

>>8299635
I read it in spanish and from that view, it did look pretty epic to me. I'd have to add Paradise Lost.

Prose /=/ Poetry

Only if it's something like fucking Thus Spoke Zarathustra. If the language is plain then I wouldn't, but DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, KNOW FUCK ALL AND I'M A RETARD. You have been warned.

Absolutely. If you dont read the wiki chapter summaries or use a guide on your first Ulysses rodeo, you'll probably miss oodles

I heard it was similar to J. G. Ballards 'the crystal world' is that true?

She's long been on my list and I've got three of her novels as ebooks but I haven't read anything yet. They were recommended to me on Goodreads. That site's not so bad btw when it comes to recommendations, especially with regards to more obscure authors. Of course, your have to know who to listen to, otherwise you can end up reading a lot of crap. /lit/ is a lot more elitist and it's where I learned that the classics do matter and are well worth the trouble, but it tends to discuss the same things over and over.

By going to schools that actually made you learn things to pass.

Most English majors today would flunk out of an old school English program.

You mean back when they didn't have reddit or 4chan or even Wikipedia? Makes you think. Like, where did Homer learn about "Homeric hexameter" to write in it?

It's very modern. Shows me how much the genre has passed me by.

Also probably belongs in the SFF general.

How do we stop him? Seriously, he's ruining young women everywhere. In today's culture, it's rare enough to find a girl who reads, but when you actually find one, she reads John Green. Even fully grown adult women are reading his nonsense.

Unless we stop him, girls will get their idea of romance from guy who wrote a novel FOR TEENAGERS in which the main character, who greatly resembles John Green himself, gets a blowjob from and hot girl, then makes out with a different hot girl, the one he really loves, immediately after. They will get their crash course in history from a man who is ashamed to be a straight white male. They will get their sexual ethics from a man who would eat a bowl of Cheerios that 48 men have stuck their penises into. They will learn about literature from a man who called The Catcher in the Rye "profoundly and disturbingly misogynistic". Their idea of great literature will come from the guy who wrote, "If people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane."

I don't even know if he can be stopped, but we have to try. The future depends on it. Looking for Alaska is already being taught in public schools throughout America.

'Young adult' is the most brilliant marketing ploy. Once people recognise those books as the teenage fiction they are.

Please fuck off
