Joyce, Woolf, Proust.
Now that the big three are taken care of, the thread can begin.

I'm new to /lit/ and I do not understand why Continental Philosophy is so unpopular here. Do people who post here study philosophy properly, or are they just low self-esteem wannabes who feel the need to denigrate a legitimate philosophical movement just to make themselves feel like they know philosophy?

I've seen coraline and read an issue of the sandman, I liked them.
My question is are his novels worth reading? He seems to be talented, but I am not a very avid reader.

His comics are better than his novels, you should probably skip them.
But he has good taste.

Ocean at the End of the Lane is good.
The Bible used to be the linchpin of Western morality, art and literature, but that's passing.
Is there any secular thought to another text that should function as this linchpin? Do you want one? There was a big movement for Shakespeare's corpus to effectively take the place in the Romanticist movement, but that's not as common now except among hold outs like Bloom.
Any thoughts on what would should be THE book?

Hey guys, I'm looking for a good English type of name. Between 12-16th century old, it could even be European. I'm writing a short story that takes place in medieval times - Nothing fantasy or anything like that. Reason for I'm asking for a good name on here because all those generators/yahoo's suggestions are garbage of options. I'm just looking for a good large selection of cool/badass sounding names for a medieval knight I could use in my story. It'd be great to see some cool ass names, thanks :)
His persona - Serious, Loyal, Steadfast, and always stern. He keeps to his chivalric code.

Yeah. The only scene with evil white characters is the surreal boxing one. Other than that, all the villains are black, including one who manipulates white people and another who is a black supremacist. Well, there is a white villain, but he's not racist, he's a communist leader who is evil for other reasons.
There is also a woman who has fantasies about the narrator raping her like a lusty savage, but she's not really a villain, just someone who makes the narrator feel bummed out.
It's a very good book. Race is a significant issue in it, but it's very nuanced and not the oppressed vs. oppressors of tumblr

What is "meme literature"? I always see you guys talking about it, but I have no idea what it means.

And people are surprised when I'm a "misogynist bigot" in 2016.

Give us the quote she used at least. If you were a real man, you would post both of them so we can critique it if not this thread isn't worth anything.
Any good books about someone going from poor, friendless, and unlearned to rich, beloved, and erudite?

stop reading based on geographical location.
By this point you should have a firm grasp on differing positions of philosophy.
Now you can just go absolutely ape shit and read w/e the fuck you can get your hands on.
try spinoza.

>geographical location
its more about the time period, faggot, when people say "start with the greeks" they mean the classics, not whatever modern shit greeks are putting out about how poor their country is
