JUST

I borrowed one from the office, there were sticky pages.

It is worth reading. It is also only momcore because of the obscenity trial. Check out Sons and Lovers and Women in Love or the Rainbow as well, and his stories.

I enjoyed it
Some of the sex bits were weird. Mellor's wife and her beak tearing at him for example.
I felt bad for the poor cucked husband even if he was a bit of a shit.

stumbled across this trilogy in a thrift store, bought it on a whim, then moved and somehow lost vol 1 (still have 2 and 3) before i started it. i've seen complete sets since then, but don't want to just snag the first and leave the other two to rot. would love to know if it's worth pursuing more aggressively.

There's a whole thread called the slum for retards like you. I'm sure you can find it.

nope, sorry. too retarded. staying here.

but thanks for the bump. :)

I thought Ideology shut down? Are they still operating? They haven't even put out Issue One yet.

Anyway, cheer up, OP. I got rejected by them too (I think), and within a month a magazine wanted to publish one of my stories, and in ANOTHER month I got a website to publish one, too. Just keep at it.

post the piece?

>>7642103
If you want to get published somewhere online just as an ego boost go on medium. Some of the publications there will literally take just about anything.

There are threads about him all the time.

I think he's a great writer who has unfortunately never produced a great work.

Underworld and Libra are really good in parts though. His portrait of Lee Harvey Oswald is fantastic, makes me wish Libra weren't a conspiracy book but a straight character study, because he gets the whole 'Travis Bickle' type down perfectly.

the names is by far his best

Post the paragraph before that, which includes "quit your books- no more hankering: this is not your gift."

Quit trying to illuminati the truth bro

>>7637443
I don't have it. Maybe you should post it?

Everyone knows jokes are spontaneous, not written down. That's a pleb way of being funny. Stand-up is shit.

Something you wrote as an early adolescent was bad? Wow that means you'll never amount to anything in life, you might as well kill yourself.

Idiot.

all i'm getting from this is that you've improved enough to see the failures of your past work

in which case well done anon!

Mein Gott so reddit's completely in charge now

Can someone post the hilarious edits? I loved those.

Because he's a moron clinging to a morality that, if he were honest with himself, is indefensible to him.

How so?

>>7643229
Hume, Nietzsche. Is-Ought Problem. Christians can escape the trap by saying "God says so." Atheists can't. For atheists morality can't exist, at least not the way Harris wants it to. Nietzsche hammers this point.

>I write novels for teenagers now—such books are colloquially called “Young Adult books” or just YA—and whenever I’ve had about two beers and find myself with other YA authors, I always start in on this soliloquy about how the contemporary young adult novel was not invented by J. D. Salinger or Judy Blume or Robert Cormier but by David Foster Wallace, whose ETA scenes more closely resemble what most YA writers are after. Like, for one thing, the best contemporary young adult fiction moves effortlessly between high and low culture in that way that only teenagers and David Foster Wallace can. I mean, my favorite books when I was eighteen were IJ and The Babysitters’ Club #43: Claudia’s Sad Goodbye.82 DFW proved that one way to bring readers to complex ideas is to utilize the sentence structures they hear every day; YA fiction has been trying to do this ever since.


Does it ever end, /lit/?

As if we needed any more confirmation that IJ is garbage.

Do you recommend taking it in real slow and trying to comprehensively understand it all or brushing through it at a normal pace and letting my subconscious figure it all out

Last question goes to anybody actually not just the dude I replied to

my personal favorite is a midsummer night's dream. i just love the magical atmosphere that is created. whenever i read it, i get very vivid images of a magical, enchanted forests, fairy sprites, and the like. it almost seems to put me under a spell. what's amazing is that there's no real physical description of the environment and i still find it more enchanting than almost any other fantasy I've read.
