Gewey Stedding here

Don't worry, it's just my first post on /lit/ not 4chan. I have come to expect abuse from /a/, but I'm unfamiliar with /lit/s hivemind. I just cant find anything beyond user reviews for these books.

The length of the base must be equal or less than that of the prism, and its width equal or less than the distance between the points of the prism's sides equal to its (the cube's) height.

>>7972529

That actually doesn't quite make sense, but I think my it gets the idea across.

>>7972482
Your father is a cube and a triangular prism is your desire to fuck your mother.

shameful bump. Someone here must know how to get this done.

Read "Everything That Rises Must Converge" by Flannery O'Connor to gain an understanding of contemporaneous works of generational differences in the South during the 60's.

Don Quixote is the basis for Ignatius but that's a pretty big read.

Re-watch Forrest Gump or read the awful book, Confederacy and Gump pair well for comparative analysis.

>Any help to "get" the character of Ignatius?
Dude, Ignatius is basically an exaggerated /lit/izen neo-reactionary from before the internet was a thing. Every time I see those dudes sincerely posting about degeneracy and Christianity I just imagine it's Ignatius on the other side of the keyboard.

do whatever works for you, man

yeah it's better to read summaries than not if you need to. 'pure literary experience' is a meme

There's nothing wrong with using a guide or Cliffsnotes. Just don't read the commentaries until after you've finished, but also don't let the commentary decide what the book is about for you. If you haven't figured it out how the puzzle of the books comes together for yourself, commentaries are pretty helpful guides.

Time.

It's a really stupid question.

Destruction and rebirth? Man always destroys and rebuilds each time. Repeating the same mistakes.

>>7972208
it's a short story about things getting too hot so everyone climbs into a refrigerator and can't get out

this describes maybe 5% of /lit/.
you're the one who cares enough to write a whole paragraph about it, buddy. keep yelling at clouds though, if that's what makes you feel good.

Fuck off, frog faggot

Go back to your anime and 'vidya'

Also, everything is narcissistic posturing

Either that or it's just part of the agreement with those publishers.

>>7974283
This, its a publishing thing

Theres a huge ass pynchon poster at one I frequent but i gurantee only 1/20 people has heard his name

Making my way through the Witcher series now. Really enjoying it. The whole Witcher concept is pretty unoriginal. I feel like the "white wolf" thing has been done to death in general.

>Moorcock
>accusing people of plagiarism
He's a proper prick, he's an autistic manchild who calls everyone out. Hell, he called Morrison a plagiarist. Moore says morrison ripped off moore.
>no one calls moore out for ripping off moorcock.

I know, right? Even I, in my early teenage years wrote (very) short (and very shitty) novella about guy with nicknamed Silver Wolf, who:
>was changed by magic (mutated)
>was part of secretive brotherhood
>fought supernatural creatures
>used enchanted sword


>>7972149
>ell, he called Morrison a plagiarist. Moore says morrison ripped off moore.
I don't get it. Who ripped off who.

nice, would be interested in seeing it. I've butted heads with you in quite a few threads, I hated Middle C and just finished the Tunnel last month.

I'm glad you and others have been pushing Hawkes, Gaddis, Gass, McElroy, and Vollmann on here, its been great.

Stop being stupid.

Complete cuck

His writing style is godawful. Inexcusable for someone who claims to be a philosopher.

Damn, that Shakespeare looks good.

It's old af. It says bought on a bazaar in 1995 so it's probably way older than that. Was able to cop it for just 50 cents.

you'll probably be raped and killed by muslims before you get a chance to read it.

read this for a creative writing class and didn't hate it

On backlog for three years now.
