Sitting in the study of his semi-detached house in the Home Counties, tweeting and writing guest articles in obscure online publications as the few lingering synapses left in his brain after years of substance abuse slowly fade away into nothing, leaving a hollowed, middle aged living corpse.

Reminder that your taste does not matter nearly as much as your ability to justify your taste. That is, the reader matters more than the books he reads. If you go around telling everyone that your favorite authors are Shakespeare and Dante, but have nothing to say about them other then cringy co-opted paraphrases of Harold Bloom, then you are not as good a reader as somone who is able to deeply understand, say, a Faulkner or Hemingway book, and justify his liking for these books in a detailed, honest, and intelligent way. I have seen so many of these faggy "name your top 5 writers!" threads and I cringe whenever I see you idiots jerking each other off for your "patrician" taste. How much more pathetic can you get than trying to impress anonymous anime watching undergrads by listing off "patrician" authors? Not once have I seen any further justification for your tastes than embarrassingly cursory evaluations like "the prose was great."

Justify your reasoning.

I may be status signalling, but that doesn't mean I'm not right, and that many of you aren't fucking stupid and deluded cunts.

get involved with a craft to discover how infertile aesthetic concepts are for actual creativity.

>>9890716
What about always trying to find the most beautiful book cover and always remaining unsatisfied no matter which one you choose? How do I overcome that?
>>
>>9890720
you must create your own
Why are English speaking people always so patriotic? Are you really that jealous of the other great national literatures? Do you feel inferior when facing names like
D A N T E
or
G O E T H E
or
D O S T O E V S K I J
or maybe...
P R O U S T
or even
L E O P A R D I
or, well...
C E R V A N T E S
but also
B A U D E L A I R E
and of course
T O L S T O J
?

hey /lit/, im looking for fiction filled with paranoia, i just love it. Something where the narrator is literally bonkers... or is he?
Like the matrix before neo takes the red pill if you know what i mean, just the narrator questioning reality and his sanity

Is Jordon Peterson autistic? I mean look at the walls of text he sends. This journalist probably just got finished banging his 10/10 gf, checked his phone to make sure the latest massive check from Liberal Mainstream Media INC. cleared, and here's this dead eyed kermit the frog emailing him links to hour long youtube videos and talking about his metaphysical stance.

Yeah, as a journalist, this kind of shit is obnoxious. I've had people threaten lawsuits because I mischaracterized a stenciling technique as a print-making technique. We also don't get paid to engage in lengthy debates over email, and it's best to keep things short and concise. That journalists emails look just like the ones I'd send. "How would you like to be described?". If the guy couldn't give me a quick answer, I might just ignore him.
Though this is still on the journalist, you need to ask these questions before publishing.

Do the people you're interviewing get paid? Maybe you should shut the fuck up.
