hold on to your political views for now because they importantly paint your experience with any text that has any kind of relevant social commentary.

once youve developed this long enough, youll soon realize dichotic understandings of phenomena are to be transcended.

you dont have to rush. take your time and enjoy it. and in general, this board leans more towards left-centrist with the exception of /pol/ spillover.

You aren't allowed to oppose something until you understand it desu

IS NOT THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE COCAINE

the big gutsby

The Bible

I've come to realize that most of the stuff I was assigned to read/forced to read is stuff that--even if I didn't actually read it when I was supposed to--I end up wanting to read. The stuff you skip over in your academic career (even stuff from high school) ends up being a loss, a gap in your reading. Let's say you skip reading Woolf's Orlando (just as an ex); it will more or less haunt you until you read it. You'll feel like you've missed out, and it will feel like a bigger gap in your reading than some other random (canonized) work you were never assigned/haven't gotten to.

That's just how I feel. If you're at a good school, nearly everything they assign will be worth reading.

If you ever start displaying these symptoms, go to the doctor immediately and have him shoot you in the head.

Preach fellow redpiller, I too have been spreading the word of Kevin Macdonald but pozzed leftist cucks that is /leftylit/ attacks me baselessly. Leftists are mentally insane.

>>9909327
fiction i dunno. anybody that cites chomsky as an influence i spose.

We have this thread all the time. The general consensus seems to be "He's not very good, but some of us like him as mindless entertainment."

I've only ever read the Dark Tower series and the Dark Half. I thought Dark Half was meh. I loved the first 4 books of tower, thought the last 3 were boring garbage. I have IT, the Shining, and Pet Semetary on the way, if I don't like them I'll probably be done with King.

>>9909124
His concepts and ideas in the 70s and 80s, along with crippling drug use, created some fantastic stories. The first Gunslinger, IT, The Shining, and Different Seasons in particular are very good.

His writing is bottom tier, much of it are long streams of dialogue where every person gets their own line, and the descriptory passages are usually told in the third person, very badly.

>>9909079
Is that artwork by the Anamalia dude?

>>9909079
Those stories were awesome don't you feel guilty about it anon

Thoughts on rowan?
I'm considering going back and reading them all again though since I don't remember anything from them and they occupied a huge part of my childhood, especially the artwork.

You think that's bad?
I wrote "The Bible" and then found out that God wrote a book just like it called "The Bible".

nobody cares

I guess I shouldn't feel as ashamed as I do. I'm sure there's plenty of novels about a do-nothing lowlife living the bohemian lifestyle and stumbling onto a military-industrial-political conspiracy while a mysterious woman transforms from passionate lover to dangerous instigator. Hell, I'm sure a handful of those have an entire chapter set in a museum, right? Oh god...
