There's literally (!) a chart on novellas in the sticky, you feminist cuck

>>7625089

By the sounds of it, pic might be very related, OP.

White people don't do it because white people are the Same. The Other (non-whites) does it because of ressentiment. In the long run, no one will remember any of the ressentiment shit, and it will come to nothing, and white dudes will keep churning out classics and further developing themselves. It sucks.

I'm black btw.

best works come out of interest in writing them
what interests a writer coupled with his ability is what makes the man

You'll get out of it what you're capable of taking from it.

It's written by a black woman.

It's pretty good. I think Beloved is supposed to be better.

i've literally explained this to you before, op ... you used pretty much the same wording

Slothrop lost his identity and so his character literally disolved.
The Counterforce went the same way, just sort of went crazy or whatever.
00000 is the missle pirate sees at the beginning. 00001 is the explosion at the end which lands on the cinema, I think, I dunno. I'm not sure about these things.

Didn't Sartre hallucinate crabs and lobsters following him around during a breakdown?

>Is this some sort of french saying?
No.

It's more a mescaline-induced obsession that's personal to Sartre:

>L'auteur de «l'Etre et le néant» avait commencé à expérimenter avec la mescaline dès 1935, intrigué, comme tant d'autres intellectuels et artistes, tels Aldous Huxley ou Henri Michaux, par les altérations, voire l'expansion de la conscience, que pouvait induire cette drogue. Mais, raconte Sartre à Grenassi:
>« Après avoir pris de la mescaline, j'ai commencé à voir tout le temps des crabes autour de moi. Ils me suivaient dans la rue, en classe. Je me réveillai le matin et leur disais : ''Bonjour les petits, avez-vous bien dormi ?'' Puis : "Okay les gars, nous partons en classe maintenant"... et ils restaient là, autour de mon bureau, tout à fait calmes, jusqu'à ce que la cloche sonne.»

So you are saying he means to imply they thought the proctor was mad, or hallucinating in some way.

I've always felt it to meant that he was without any form of human contact to keep his thoughts in line so had become dangerous in his thoughts.

Some money and an innovative and creative director (and a screenwriter) can work wonders

St. Paul

probably Paul the apostle

Chaucer

Feeling like Gertrude Stein
I press my feet
front of toe first like a full tire

Striving for Roman arches
mirror's movement creates a blob
imitating a starfish
internal exoskeleton becomes more exposed

I look pretty good

I wanted to start writing some poetry, or even some song lyrics but I'm unsure how to get started. Does anyone have any tips?

I thought reading poetry might help so I picked up a metaphysical poetry anthology and a Yeats anthology. How should I read these btw? Just read through each poem one at a time or analyse as I go or what?

>stopped from destruction, the despoilment of the land
If i'm scanning that sentence correctly, you're being redundant with destruction and despoilment, and they are quite ugly words
>fabric of my being
cliche
>leaving
you used this word twice, and in the same sense of: "cause (a thing) to be (a certain way)" which is, in my opinion, a juvenile use of the word and which could be avoided with simpler clause construction. I'm not certain about my prescription, but I know the use of the word in this way, and twice, sounds awkward.
>in pursuit of you
cliche
>fought for you
cliche
>idealistic idea
very silly and awkward to hear aloud
>flirtatiousness
there must be a better word--adding two suffixes to "flirt" overwhelms the original word
>web of lies
huge cliche

From Hell. Fun House. Like A Velvet Glove Cast In Iron. Black Hole (serialized, not the book v.).

>>7625163

Daytripper for a lifetime
Seconds by bryan o malley for cuteness

Take a lap m8

everyday

8-14 hours

>>7624969
Everyday. I read a couple pages of the bible then spend at least an hour or two reading whatever else I got going on.

>>7624969
Since reading is merely a hobby, I do it whenever I have time in my schedule, which can be a few hours a day to just a few hours a week. My reading typically varies between literature and news magazines like the economist.

If you want, it's not really /lit/s decision is it? Unless you are some kind if contrived autonomous pseudo who only reads books based of the opinions of others.

I hear it's better than 198four

Better written, less boring and more prophetic than 1984. What's not to like?

>>7624393
Just seeking a second opinion. It seems up my alley though.
