Have you read the entire /lit/ starter kit? Is it dated? Aren't Lord of the flies and huck Finn legitimate children's books?

It's for people who are new to reading.

Everything except Catch-22. They're high school-taught books largely (with the exception of Lolita) but that doesn't necessarily mean they're bad. Imagine if they never got picked up by Western high school curricula, many would be widely discussed here on /lit/ likely. The only one that is notably awful is To Kill a Mockingbird
>>
Adults can get quite a lot out of those works, and I don't see why any of them would be considered "dated".

to the women of /lit/:
"Do you not know that you are Eve? The judgment of God upon this sex lives on in this age; therefore, necessarily the guilt should live on also. You are the gateway of the devil; you are the one who unseals the curse of that tree, and you are the first one to turn your back on the divine law; you are the one who persuaded him whom the devil was not capable of corrupting; you easily destroyed the image of God, Adam. Because of what you deserve, that is, death, even the Son of God had to die."

I'm writing one myself at the moment, I don't know if it'll ever be adapted but I just don't really bother thinking about that since its the writing itself that matters to me at the moment.
Here's the first scene if you're interested:

"Conflict may be painful, but the painless solution does not exist in any case and the pursuit of it leads to the painful outcome of mindlessness and pointlessness; the apotheosis of the ostrich."

What did he mean by this?

putting your head in the sand like an ostrich. refusing to face your problems because the solution could be painful, preferring instead to skulk away in your cocoon where life is void of problems but also very unfulfilling and pointless.

the real question is, Why must we aspire to be anything but ostriches?

>>8086665
Because it's easy, in the abstract, to gravitate towards an aesthetically pleasing ideal of bravery, but in reality it's best to just de-spook yourself and choose comfort.

What does /lit/ think of this long ass series? I just finished book 4 (wizard and glass) and i honestly don't feel like the series interests me anymore. Some parts of it are so captivating but sometime the plot feels so slow I put it down and read other stuff. Is it worth continuing this loooooooooong series?

Do you like wasting large amounts of time on unintelligent drivel? Do you find that your life is so devoid of meaning that you fill the hole with a figurative candy like a compulsive eater, and become metaphorically obese with useless drivel pouring from every useless hour you spend on earth?
