You write as though you don't read.

Probably Prague. I rented an apt there for a few months and there were so many young, beautiful people all over the city.

Hard to say. Concord Massachusetts is a really cool place to go if you live on the east coast and are looking for a /lit/ sort of vacation. The place is totally fucking fantastic, I imagine in the autumn it would practically be sublime.

why bother using words at all tbqhwy

>>7932067
best prose uses only words that are necessary. The fewer words, the better.

>>7932075
You should shut the fuck up then, that would be some great prose

No because it's not something most people give a shit about. Literally such a non-issue nobody ever felt the need to say it. I want you to leave this board but go somewhere other than /r9k/, it's killing you.

You ruined it. Guess where.

OP posted no 4chan's literature board only to find himself transformed into a large vermin.

This is a little too much.

Sorry about hearing that man.

Gonna' break it to you if you're not college material truly /lit/ girls probably won't be into you or if they are it won't be to do /lit/ things with you.

Not as much because you didn't study English formally mote so because you're likely stupid.

What was your reason for not attending?

>>7933226
Are you saying you didn't get accepted to college? Try community college, exhaust your options.
If college wasn't for you then good luck because /lit/ girls are more fixed on the "idea" of an academic man and less fixed on the "idea" of a man who reads books.

>>7933252
I'm currently attending to college, dumbass. But I haven't find /lit/ girls there so far.

Faulkner, no? Either him, or Burroughs.

Faulkner, Pynchon, Barth, Gass, McElroy, take your pick. American lit owns

>opinion on reddit list
It's shit.

WoT doesn't deserve even a top 25
>harry potter

Pick one

At least Hobb gets a deserved mention in the top 10.

>Opinion on Reddits top fantasy novels?
Awful. The top 15 is full-on shit-tier "fantasy series" books.

The only entries worth reading are Guy Gavriel Kay, Gene Wolfe, Fritz Leiber, T.H. White, Mervyn Peake.

What do you guys think of "Demonbane" series?

I've often seen it mentioned in those power level discussion how Demonbane is supposedly so bad ass.
But it's really just a shitty story that's not coherent and just plain awful.

Also most of the claims people make are just misinterpreted shit.
