Writers of /lit/, have you grasped the power of iambs yet?
Have you learned to hear the bob and weave of English? Melville got it right. So did Faulkner. Have you?
Faulker was a manlet.
Yes, but my vocabulary is ridiculously small, because English is my second language.
I've fully absorbed the power of the decassÃlabo heróico, though.

Thanks for informing me. I will disregard him from now on.
Is she worth reading for the first time past the age of 20?

how does it feeling knowing even he is much more successful, well-known, loved, and respected than you?
>implying I have feelings
Loud laughter
He's basically fake-woke annoying ass Voxsplainer for little kids and probably got people to raise money for my disease even though he's a shitty writer. The point is that I have bigger problems to worry about that this insufferable memer.

humans BTFO.
When will you stop it with this LE SINGULARITY OMG XDDDDD meme? Robots are good at this because they absorbed a shitload of human content and then imitated it like the dumb fucks they are.
AI is nowhere as advanced as you redditfucks seem to think it is.
>>8218708
Last stanza is pretty neat.
>>>8218716
No need to get so upset because an AI can write better poetry than you.
i like joanna newsom's lyrics. what are some poets i might enjoy reading?
some bullshit that john ''i browse tumblr daily'' greene would like, probably.
I want to fuck this woman.
>>8218647

What do you listen to while reading?

How can i read faster?
>>8218435
Just skip every third or fourth word
And if you feel the paragraph offers you nothing, move on.
>>8218435
by posting better meme pics in the threads that you start
>>8218435
Read more, eat ass, stop subvocalizing
So basically you're telling me that Sol was sitting there the entire time, cradling his infant daughter in his arms, while listening to a 2 meter tall muslim man talk about how he thrust his giant turkroach cock in and out of said daughter while sucking on her erect nipples?
Shut the fuck up OP you faggot.
You're on 4chan, take your ethics some place where someone cares.
>>8218429
Yep!
Welcome to Hyperion nigga.
I read the book and don't remember this part. Please remind me OP, I haven't jacked off in a week.
What method does /lit/ prefer to read?
im curious
https://strawpoll.de/3773748
Books for reading at home. Ebooks for travel
i prefer physical books, but started reading on my phone lately. its nice having it at my fingertips all the time.
havent tried kindle/ereaders
anyone able to give good pros to using one? kinda want one but need to justify it
>>8218340
Kindle. The on-hand dictionary and x-ray features have spoiled me. We aren't more books available on it? I'm reading The Tin Drum now, and the other two Danzig trilogy books aren't available in English on it, only German. Same goes for most non-fiction books I want to read.
This guy's a fucking cultist.
Why did you post a picture of a book?
King James is?
>>8218374
I meant Jesus.
How long do you usually wait between finishing a book and starting another /lit/?
Or do you read 12 books at the same time?
>>8218301
>How long do you usually wait between finishing a book and starting another /lit/?
depends on how late at night i finish the book. if its late enough i will start another one the next day, if it's early i'll look around my 'fast-track' list then choose one.
>Or do you read 12 books at the same time?
only around four
Just finished Dorian Gray. I basically wait until I feel like starting another. Usually I'll take some time to think about the book I just finished for a few days and then I'll start another when that process is finished.
>>8218301
somewhere between 10 minues and 42 days
the phenomenon of man is totally next level shit. brilliant synthesis of theology, globalization theory, post-industrial theory, and transhumanism. so so ahead of its time. it (and the other works if Teilhard de Chardin) not only reconciles Religion and Science, it forms a rich independent theological theory around the reconciliation of the two. One that In my opinion is evidence for the extreme potential of religious modernism. Evidence that it can be something not about casting away of spirituality and religiosity in the modern world, but using the innovations of the modern world to enhance and protect religion.
prove me wrong
pro tip: you can't

Is this just more contintental guff?
Recently began writing female fiction erotica.
What I want to know is how do you identify the fantasies of a women through a male's perspective. Would I interview a handful of random women for insight on what to write, or would I try to reach the broadest demograph based statistically on what most women fantasize of?
Does anyone on /lit/ have any knowledge of how I would go about this?
All females want to be raped.
>>8217958
Check out that Secret Garden book. Can't recall exact name.
But in general, like 50 shades of shitty has illustrated so well, most women are total, 100% irredeemable subs.
>>8217967
Oh my I cannot believe you said that!
I'm trying to get into the King Arthur stories, but there are so fucking many. What are the bare essentials? So far I'm going on:
>Geoffrey of Monmouth's "Historia Regum Brittaniae" and "Vita Merlini"
>Cretien de Troyes' "Perceval" et al.
>Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
>Mabinogion
>Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte D'Arthur"
>Edmund Spenser's "The Faerie Queene"
>Alfred, Lord Tennyson's "Idylls of the King" et al.
>Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
>Howard Pyle's Arthurian stories
>T.H. White's "The Once and Future King"
>C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy (it has Merlin)
>Mary Stewart's "The Crystal Cave" et al.
>Marion Zimmer Bradley's "Avalon Series" (noh8, I thought it influential enough to include)
Am I missing anything or are these all the absolute bare necessities? Are there any I should cut out of my list?
medievalists are the ponyfags of literature go ask /his/ or some shit
>>8217926
Add The Wizard Knight by Gene Wolfe
>>8217933
You could have just said "I don't know, I've never read any of them."
>>8217945
Thanks, I'll check it out.

/lit/, what's your Ilvermony house?
>>8217855
Was a cool as shit Ravenclaw, now am a beta Pukwudgie.
I'm seriously thinking of killing myself.
>>8217867
After reading the school's backstory Pukwudgie seems like the most kickass house.
>>8217855
That is i-Lvermony. This bullshit is why serif fonts exist.
