Bolano was right, he was a hack.

Not baiting, you don't even have to go outside of Colombia to find better prose.

Not even close. Ask again after you've read the whole of the western canon.

I just got into reading last year and didn't have too much trouble with it. You can read it alone for the sounds of the words and it will be enjoyable

another option is get addicted to heroin and then join NA/AA.

a third is simply pray, and try to be sincere about it. eventually poof! you have experienced God's presence. this is the best way

How's lit in uni? I'm applying this spring and i'm a bit worried for my lack of social skills and general anxiety.

>>7699631
Could be hard for you if you're ""quite"" socially inept. However people I've seen like that seem to get along alright, generally with other people similarly anxious.

If you're really worried go to the early university/college organised events as you'll meet people who will then be available when you're on your own.

Only had first lecture so can't give you a definitive answer, this uni is also has the best humanities program in the country so it could differ.

To give some info we're doing close readings of - The Winter's Tale, Mrs Dalloway, Northanger Abbey and Great Expectations

>>7699641
Are there lots of presentations or conversing in class? I would just prefer to shut the fuck up, go to lectures and write essays and my shitty novel.

I don't know, I only read heavy novels

They are Japanese ya for retarded autists, reported and saged

Anime is misogynist filth, it's time we cleansed ourselves of this problematic content

The bells rang quietly as the door closed behind her.

Rape is a point of view.

Regardless, she was just a child, she couldn't have been aware of the harm she was causing to such a vulnerable man.

The funniest part of this book ( and it is often very funny) is that Nabby sets Humbert up to be a murderer and then has the mom get hit by a truck do she is out if the way.

>>7702399
>Humbert himself admits in the narration that he catches her crying when she thinks she's alone near the end

Yes. It was definitely rape.

Now now, friend, I'm in favor of legalizing softcore child porn as much as the next sane human being (which is to say 100%), but rape is rape, regardless of age, sex, gender, really pretty much anything. Using another person sexually is pretty much the worst thing a human being can do. Other than scaphism, of course

but it's vonnegut

le so funny whimsical quirky reddit man

Vongut

>>7701698

Enjoyable and stylistic, over praised by hipster plebs and irrationally hated by bitter tryhards

I never would have posted this before your post, OP, but I populated a whole town in Sims with fictional characters. It's been over a year since I've opened it, so I don't remember all the characters I used. I tried to throw characters from different stories together, or indulge their assorted dreams. Twain provided a house, and Atwood. Others I forget.

A life simulator like the sims but more complex and not targetted toward teenage girls would be amazing

There are always 1 or 2 books every year that I really get into, and they usually include a touch of anxiety about getting to the next page.

>>7700468
Stoner wasnt one of them except possibly the last chapter

determinism
antinatalism
nihilism
