About to start it, my buddy claims it's the best Pynchon.
I've only read lot 49 & a failed attempt to trudge through GR (but i enjoyed the former). Is this a viable next step? What can I expect? Is it really dense?

It's not quite as dense or intense as Gravity's Rainbow, but it's one of his best books for sure. You don't sound like a particularly experienced reader so you might be put off by the grammar and vocabulary since it's written in a stylized reconstruction of 18th Century English.

Yes, it is his best. It isn't a novel though senpai, it's an epic poem

>Tanya Grotter and the Magical Double Bass
>Tanya Grotter has an unusual birthmark on her nose, magical powers, an upbringing by "Lopukhoid" relatives after her parents were killed by an evil sorceress Chuma-del-Tort, and goes to study at the Tibidokhs (Tибидoхc) School for Behaviorally-Challenged Young Witches and Wizards. Tanya's foster-family, the Durnevs, live in an urban apartment block, and Tanya is forced to sleep in the apartment's loggia.
>in Tanya Grotter and the Golden Leech, Tanya finds herself pitted against "Hurry Pooper" in the World Dragonball Championship. While trying to reach the ball, they crash, creating a new timeline in which Chuma-del-Tort has won, good and evil being reversed, and all the characters are speaking a Russian equivalent of Orwellian Newspeak. To restore normality, Tanya must defeat the Golden Leech. Mark Hooker, an independent academic at Indiana University's Russian and East European Institute, has interpreted the Golden Leech as capitalism

Does /lit/ write in a cipher?
I journal and take notes in regular English but will switch it up with Greek when I'm writing something sensitive in public to disguise any choice words that a passerby might latch onto for a chuckle.
Also, what is your favorite writing system?

I want to learn Spanish and then French. I suppose I would write my diary in French. Anyone know any good Audio CD's, the only stump in my plan is finding an affordable yet decent one. There are plenty I have bookmarked, but I want to ask around for at least a week before I lay down the money for them.

Good for you, Spanish is a fairly decent language. Just a tip: Spanish, as spoken in Spain, is fucking retarded. Spaniards are the laughingstock of the rest of us because of their retarded accent, so avoid it like the plague.

I'm not autistic and I don't keep journals other than my diary desu: the novel, so no.

Hello, /lit/
I am an unbiased, ignorant pleb when it comes to politics. I have somehow been able to ignore all the branding propaganda in the media with Trump and shit, but I just want to start from the beginning. Can you guys recommend good political readings like Marx and such? Possibility even documentaries.

Other people here may give you more classic texts, but it can't hurt to start with something like this.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Contemporary-Political-Philosophy-An-Introduction/dp/0198782748
I'd advise making a thread on /his/ too, we'll be more likely to give you left wing writers, whereas /his/ will lean to more right wing writers. Should give you a nice balance. Always maintain your undogmatic attitude though. Never get sucked into bullshit /pol/ memes like Trump, he is scum.

Does this book have some sort of literary merit, even if only on a pop level?
I know it's a fucking pickup book, but something about this really gripped me when I first read it. I don't know what it was exactly. But it really had that 'page turner' quality. I just wanted to read more and more.
The way he describes his moral dilemmas, his hopeless search for self esteem through sex, is interesting. It's also interesting reading about him getting pulled over by crooked cops in Eastern Europe. The whole 'project Hollywood' thing is portrayed really glamorously.
I dunno.
There's just something about this book...
Anyone here think there's something to this, or am I just deluded by being a pussy-starved beta who will hang on any word that promises me a cure to inceldom?

It's a genuinely interesting story and Neil Strauss is a competent writer. Don't worry, it's okay to like this book
I just read you are a little bit happier than i am, and the narrative voice is such a cunt.
His novels have to be better than this, right?

They really aren't. There's a small group of people here who jerk off to Tai Pei, but after reading Eee eeee Eee and Shoplifting From American Apparel, I'm convinced it can't possibly be worth reading even if it is "better" than those.

Can I get some writing, preferably non fiction resources? It's been about 5 years since I left school and I have no idea on the even the fundamentals of writings, wither in structure or even grammar.
It's really depressing that a man who barely finished primary and whose only qualification was an E on history can have more engaging writing about day to day things than I can come up with trying my damnedest.

If you rely on the technicality of writing then you're not going to be a good writer.
>>
>>7683868
This is false. Having a strong grasp of the fundamentals is key to developing a writing style. Most beginners do not even realize how many "rules" there are that affect their piece of composition.
>>7683854
You should check out The Elements of Style by William Strunk JR. and E.B. White. I never thought I'd look back 5 years after buying it for an intro English and say it was the most useful book on writing I had read. It's damn useful and dirt cheap.
>>
>>7684577
This is false. Just read a lot of books, then start writing. Everything will come naturally, or not at all.

How do you properly analyse a poem? What are some literary devices you can name-drop to get a better grade? I wrote 4 pages of an analysis of For my people and how it relates to injustice, problem is I was really sleepy on that day so I wrote half-assed and perhaps ironically. I said how the poem reflects on white supremacy. I think the people marking the exam may think I'm trolling. I basically explained the meanings behind certain lines in specific stanzas.
