Dystopian Utopia is the Utopia gone wrong, Utopian Dystopia is the Dystopia gone wrong/right (I guess this depends on your perspective desu).

"Been working way too much need to get out and get fucked up
Whats going on, where's it at
Make some calls to make it crack, lets see...
I need money, drugs, a ride
And a spot with hot ones inside"

Ever try thinking for yourself? I know it's an alien concept but trust me you should try it.

depends on what you mean by "doing timetravel right"

>>8263388
Timetravel tales that aren't inconsistent, paradoxical, and also shit.

I agree, Undertale is the first story to do time travel right.

It's shit.

Sure if you're a gf-less NEET this will make your peepee hard

The main character doesn't do anything and is utterly uninteresting but gets QTs throughout the whole book

Read it when I was 20 and sexually inexperienced. Was feelsy and the writing was Murakami, which I like. I am not nor have I ever been patrician. I don't think I've read any other books about love and relationships, at least not directly.

Banal contemporary realism. Pick pretty much any literary fiction book from the past year.

>>8263276
Raymond Carver?

Bright Lights, Big City

Yikes. I haven't read Tao Lin before but Jonathan Franzen is one of the worst writers I've ever read.

>>8263150
The Corrections is actually a good book.

>>8263150
Agreed, The Corrections is one of the worst novels I've ever read.

>>8263104

The Big Sleep, or anything by Raymond Chandler.
The Maltese Falcon.

>>8263104
The Postman Always Rings Twice

although I don't doubt you've seen the movie, id still recommend reading it.

>>8263104
You could easily Google for books.

someones gonna tell you your taste sucks just because you're new

Dislike him. A cheap sensationalist, clumsy and vulgar. A prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. Some of his scenes are extraordinarily amusing. Nobody takes his reactionary journalism seriously.

>>8263091
it's ok. I don't have much experience with classic lit. I'm just happy I decided to take the plunge with this one.

It's literally a book written for children. For your sake I hope you don't have any trouble reading it.

They're not immune to fire retard

>>8263001

>Immune to fire
Fucking moron showfag, they have a tendency to resist fire but aren't completely immune to it.

Targaryens used to be fireproof, but now it's a lost trait--or was until Dany, either because a) she's a genetic throwback or b) magic has woken up in the world. Probably a combo of the two. Several Targaryens have burned trying to prove they had the right stuff.

>>8262829
wow, such pepe. much rare

>>8262829
no

Probably not but it's all you'll ever know so may as well treat it as such

>>8262764

Dream of the Red Mansions

Just think more consciously about the tone you want to take. Everyone has that "phase" where they write in the way they think actual writing sounds, just practice.

don't write stuff and you'll be okay

>>8262664

Write down the "truth" in the clearest way possible , like you're talking to a third grader.

If you still think your shit is interesting after that, then start playing around.

I believe everybody wishing to study at the tertiary level should be forced to take a year in math, logic and philosophy. The essential problem with humanities these days is the lack of rigour, which comes from a lack of understanding of anything having to do with proper reasoning or epistemology etc.

I believe that waiters should tip customers who make less than them
