What is the recommended erotic /lit/erature?
I'm horribly bored and I kind've wanna write some of my own but I wanna get a taste of what other authors are doing.
>>7552737
It would be more interesting if you went into it with no concept of what other erotic fiction writers do, honestly.
>>7552737
Anais Nin: Delta Of Venus, or any really.
Henry Miller: Any.
I like writing it and have had some top faps but it takes more effort than just looking at porn and I'm a lazy pleb. I'd also be scared if anyone found my "Special Writing Project."

I was reading a history book while in reality I was reading a book about myths.
I was in Argentina and pretended I didn't know Spanish. I only spoke English.
I once got lost in a library, thought it was endless.
I got drunk, lost my car keys and walked 5 miles to a friends house, knocked on his window and the fucker kept on sleeping bc he thought i was pranking him. Fell asleep underneath some shrubs
What's your opinion on Roberto BolaƱo?
>>7551569
I only read 2666.
He appears to like the phrase 'vaginally and anally raped'
Fantastic. Strange shaped head.
Sorta looks like a Mexican Woody Allen. Overall I'd say that's pretty cool.

Has anyone read a translation of IJ?
No one would ever bother.
>>7550652
I'm reading the brazilian portuguese version desu
>>7550781
how is it?
There's something that came up to my mind while i was reading this book, why didn't plato write it in such a form that it was more subtle? like, we know that the good city is an allegory to men's souls, yet he keeps talking about the soul itself throughout the book, wouldn't it be more aesthetically pleasing if he only wrote about the good city leaving it to us to conclude that he's talking about the soul and about individuals rather than just cities?
Because the dialogue was about the nature of justice, not some post-modern bonanza
>>7550141
I'm currently in book 5, does it get less dry than that or it's like that throughout the book?

How the fuck do you force yourself to read for any longer than half an hour? At a certain point, I just can't read any more words. They don't even register. How do you focus?
adderal
how long have you been regularly reading? like anything else it is a skill that requires repetitiveness to improve. Your reading stamina should increase the more you read
just make the half hour mark your ten minute break, digest the material, then return for another half hour.
thoughts on the literature of Neil Gaiman?
pretty shite
a study in emerald was cute
>>7577332
The Ocean at the End of the Lane was neat, imo. And I really enjoyedthe Sandman comics. He's good at what he does but has little literary merit.
>>7577346
explain exactly why's he's shit? i love his work
Tell us about some of your unusual literary opinions, c/lit/s.

No work of 'fiction' is truly fictional. It may be fictional in our universe, but every 'fiction' corresponds perfectly to events in the history of one universe or another.
