Infinite Jest is the Appetite for Destruction of literature.

If he took it off you would see maggots festering inside his skull, that's what pushed him to suicide. He couldn't the constant wriggling in his cranium so he hanged himself. It's why we meme for him.

I read a book before a movie I was planning on watching and found out that literature is far superior to any other artistic medium.

Always liked books as I was young and the most patrician things I read in those days were Roald Dahl and part of Gulliver's Travels. The scene where he's tiny and he is with the giant princess changing being revolted really stuck in my head. I would read everything.

Then I had a phase where I didn't read because it wasn't cool. Then I read again, reading everything bad and good. Then I got into my one and only serious relationship and left reading mostly. At some point we broke up, and I became Muslim and read a lot more. I also had a really cool professor that got me into the Greeks and higher things. That and Bloom's Closing of the American mind made me have a more discriminating taste. Then I had some opportunities with some other languages and started reading in other languages.

My parents loved me enough to read high-tier YA (Kipling, Tolkein, Wilder and Lewis) to me when I was little in addition to the Bible and various ancient mythologies, and provide me with books that would challenge and entertain me. The only thing I could ask for and be given without a word was a new book.

There has never been a question of whether I like literature or not.

Literally who?

hi
what happen to your lips, you pretending not to be white or is that a glass window between us

You're right, that's why stories like Eragon and Twilight are so good, the characters are uniform throughout and the authors have such descriptive prose for describing events!

This thread feels like you got criticized or rejected from something because of static characters.

Can you tell us why you think static characters are better? Can you provide some examples of decent static characters?

I don't know, but I'm buying it anyway in hopes that one day I can be more like The Donald. So that I can learn to not only make America great again, but also make ME great again.

If I wanted absurd I'd simply take another look at the nude photos your mother sent me.

wrong leneration?

Is posting on /lit/ an effective way to get your homework done for you?

sigh

>define immoral

yes, it's a meme, but if you can't properly explain yourself when using such a loaded term then you deserve it.

I've only ever heard the term post-ironic used ironically. The circle remains a circle.

>>7564253
Think of it this way:
Shitposting is shit like Chris-Chan unironically posting his sonic oc.
Ironic shitposting is people satirically acting as if they have sonic ocs.
Enter anime chalkboard, "It's still shitposting," maymay.
Postironic shitposting is not caring and intentionally destroying something you care minutely about 4dalulz.

post-irony is where I do something I'm ashamed of at an ironic distance but I still genuinely enjoy it.

Enjoyment.

Because it's good.

Will I be able to meme about it on /lit/? Otherwise I don't see how it has any value.

>>he only reads 800+ page maximalist novels
How many of those even exist? I can't imagine there being that many of them unless you lump in scifi/fantasy garbage that's "maximalist" by virtue of taking thousands of pages to tell a story in.
