Models by Mark Manson

I recommend Masashi Kishimoto. He is a master of storytelling and everything he writes holds a tremendous amount of merit behind it.

Green, since we're naming writers in descending order of quality

a lukewarm bath.

I love Freddy, but he's not the second in this line of thinking.

>>7824335
i hate to be the one to break it to you anon but no one here actually reads.

>>7824344
I thought all the non-reading shitters left for /his/
I did, anyways.

>>7824376
Some of the reading c/lit/s actually flocked to /his/ for the humanities threads.

Write for yourself. If you write under the pretense of a "story" you are implicitly writing for somebody else.

I've tried doing this several times before but I always end up cringing at what I wrote 1-2 months later and give up. Not because there as anything particularly wrong with what I wrote, I'm not sure why I don't like it.

I just write whatever pops into my head. Normally I go over some things that stood out that day, like reading a good book or meeting someone neat. A lot of it tends to be about my relationships with certain people, and things that didn't happen that day but are bouncing around in my brain. When I started I tried to impress my imaginary audience with faux philosophy and big words, but I lost that eventually and now it's a really comfy experience. Don't try to recoed your whole day like a story. Release whatever's on your mind.

As for hiding, I generally put mine behind some tall books on a shelf, and hide the previous volumes by burying them in my closet.

I agree OP, it's quite the quixotic situation.

It appears you've already done it.

nothing about literature matters. it's a joke medium

It affects the role a character will play in society, how they'll be received by others, and some elements of how they think and feel etc. But gender is not the defining characteristic in someone's personality. Think of it as a framing device, and a pretty loose one at that.

>>She calls it a crucial difference...

Most of the time the ones who are really militant about identity politics mire themselves down in banalities as if they are the main arena. You know the kind when you talk to them. They hyper-politicize everything to a nauseating degree.

I've read the first few Gor novels by John Norman and thoroughly enjoyed both of them.

I like reading high brow literature as much as the rest of you autists on this board but there's something so genuinely comfy and refreshing to just escape back to Gor every once in a while and sink into the lore and action-packed absurdity of it all.

A true masterpiece of a series and one I'd recommend any of you guys get into.

Start with Tarnsman of Gor though.

How self contained are they? The used bookstore has several, but not in sequence. I've been thinking about picking some up when they go on sale.

>>7815288
>What are you reading?
Re-reading The Stars my Destination.

>Who is your favorite hero in SFF?
Andrew Harlan from The End of Eternity.
That or Conan...

>Which SFF girl would you want to be your "damsel?"
I guess it's Danica Maupoissant from The Cleric Quintett (Forgotten Realms).

>>7824211
Read Dune and nothing else there.

>>7824211
start with Starship Troopers or Dune

>>7824218
Oh ok. I'll take the others outback and burn them,

your high school teacher has the worst taste imaginable

>>7822026
Shut up, fag

>>7822007
It's a good book.

But it's written by a black female, so the frog people and redpillers on here aren't going to like it.

>>7815517
Who, in all honesty, would want their name to be associated with this place?

yes, that one that one anon who has a scifi young adult book coming out soon from penguin

also, Tao lin

and I'm sure many of us (including myself) have been published in various mags, journals, and won competitions and so on...

None that have really posted there work. I know for a fact there are some people in here who have been published in some lit magazines because I've met them IRL, but evidently they don't brag about it.

I've had a short story get accepted to a lit mag before, wasn't that difficult.

/lit/ - literature

>“Europe needs to demand of the incoming Muslims that they respect European values,” he says, and, “Europe cannot just open its borders, as some on the left demand out of a feeling of guilt.” Instead, “we” must ensure “that the streams of refugees flow in an orderly fashion,” and set up “reception centres in the countries bordering Syria, but also in Libya.” This, he insists, must be done “with the military.” In other words, Žižek wants to send European troops to Libya, Jordan, Lebanon and other states to imprison refugees there.

>Žižek explicitly defends European capitalism with its millions of unemployed and its dramatic inequality. “I do not want to bad-mouth capitalism in principle,” he says. “The European model” is “threatened by two types of capitalism, both undemocratic” –by the “fundamentalist market radicalism of the American model” and by “Asiatic-authoritarian capitalism, as practiced mainly in China.” But “Europe’s capitalism,” on the other hand, has “something to offer to the world.”

>Racist incitement against refugees, the demonization of the “lower classes,” the closing of borders, the defence of one’s “own” capitalism against its international rivals and a return to militarism—this is the programme of the new right, which Žižek advocates here.

>This is no surprise for the World Socialist Web Site. We have warned for years that the policy of the pseudo left represents the interests of more affluent layers of the middle classes and is directed against the interests of the working class. They have replaced the historical materialist method of Marxism with the subjective, irrational theories of postmodernism and the class struggle with various forms of identity politics, which focus on issues of race and sexual orientation.

>Five years ago, we wrote on the occasion of an appearance by Žižek in New York:

>“Zizek is an outgrowth of a reactionary anti-Marxist and anti-materialist tradition that descends from the irrationalism of Schelling, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Heidegger. He eclectically draws on the neo-Nietzschean and neo-Heideggerian thought of 1960s French post-structuralism.

>Zizek, “as with the post-structuralists and the post-Maoists, is a political opportunist, though crasser and ruder. Despite all the radical-sounding bluster he pumps off, when it comes down to real politics, not the political phantoms in his brain, his positions end up serving interests that are completely hostile to the international working class and to genuine socialism.”

>The sharp social polarisation accompanying the intensification of the crisis of capitalism forces Žižek and his ilk to show their true colours. They can no longer hide their right-wing politics behind pseudo-left phraseology. From that standpoint, Žižek’s transformation from an ideologist of the pseudo-left to an open right-winger is an unmistakeable sign that fierce class battles are ahead.

this just in, socialist movements are prone to fracturing and denunciations

>Not 'Well spooked, my property'

Can't meme with the best? Then 404 like the rest

You're right though, unspook yourself OP

>>7824437
I know my statement was vague, but this is not about anything in particular, but what this man was about. He's more of a symbol than anything. So far, I've learned nothing from him. Maybe that's why he shot himself. How long can you regurgitate memes of manhood without exploring the implications of behavior? Hemingway seems like he was an empty man.

A piece's objective should be determined by its creator.

Confronting reality and 'making it better' is escapism

>>7822994
sure, but take for instance a city where "everything is bad": could someone write something without addressing such problems? the city is the world

>>7823025
how so?
