Has anyone read this book? I am a quarter of the way through and I can not reconcile what is written other then the fact that his stories must be complete bullshit
>>7494668
Yes. It was a mediocre piece of fiction/pseudo self-help (I think).
>>7494668
Passable portrait of a profoundly damaged narcissist and a painfully gauche young man.
Hilariously misconstrued as a guide.
Emergency! was good.
What does /lit/ think about this book? I'm reading it and it's pretty decent.
>>7494640
I've read during college. It's well written.
>>7494640
Adler is great. He's written a book on Aristotle I might read this weekend. It's going to help me with a seminar.
>>7494675
Aristotle for everybody? Why does it sound unsafe to me?
This doesn't look good. Like at all

He did As I Lay Dying already, pretty mediocre from what I've read. No point in adapting Faulkner anyway

Is it good?
The movie has some good reviews.
nah, just watch the movie. There are better books to give your time to.

Is there any literature that deals with nofap?
I'm sure there is some that touches the subject allegorically.
asceticism is gay bro
>>7494052
No, because anyone intelligent enough to have the capability to write a book realizes that nofap is retarded bullshit right away.

>his mom coddled him, was massively anxious about his well-being, and dressed him as a girl until he was 6, when he rebelled and she cried bitter tears as his golden locks were shaved
holy fuck, no wonder this guy was an autistic sperg. He stood no chance at being normal.
stories about authors thread?
I hate how he is being demonized so hard, recently, because his works contained some offensive words in it... Our society is fucking cancerous.
>>7493729
nah man he rebelled. he was cool
>>7493729
>hating on based Lovecraft
Kill yourself.
Been on /Lit/ for about six weeks now. I'm confused does /Lit/ read for enjoyment or to better themselves. Discuss.
>>7492953
Maybe it's time you stop coming to /lit/
>>7492965
No it is my favorite board.
Bettering myself is enjoyable
Rowling just tweeted this.
It's over, mates. Black Hermione is now canon.
So? Big woop some character from a shit book can be read as brown skinned. Stop shitting up the board with this nonsense.
>>7492261
And no one gave a fuck, ever.
She is, and always will be, Emma Watson.
Take it to r/books
Why don't you already consider Alamut a God-Tier book?
Sorry, I don't read books written by vampires.
>>7492162
what the...
>>7492162
Fuck, vampires have been making books now?
Dammit.
Bastards trying to take my blood AND my hobby?
how do i skip through the greeks and the western canon?
i have other books in my backlog that i really want to read.

Remind yourself that they were slavers, murderers and pedo's, hypocritical in everything they wrote, and the mass corruption we see in our world today is mostly because of their model of democracy, which encourages hollow power hungry people to do anything to rule the world.
>>7492079
Read what you want, it's easier. When you genuinely want to read the greeks, go back to them.
The last two books you read are now combined into one book. That book...
>Needs a name
>Needs a paragraph description
>Needs a director for the inevitable film adaption
"Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Old English Heroes" - a combination of "Beowulf" and "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children."
Beowulf travels through time to the 1940's and kills Nazis with his sword. The British government sanctions him as a hero, and he goes around slaying the most evil monster of the 40's - Hitler and his minions.
Directed by Joss Whedon.
The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man + Dubliners = Dubliners
Various short stories of the lives of Dubliners at the turn of the 20th century with special emphasis on one Dubliner.

I call bullshit on that JKR comment.
Sur this is what look like the first comment on the appearence of Hermione.
But I am pretty sure in all the seven book, there must be one moment where a comment on her skin color from the narraor or another student.
I found it a bit simple and bullshitting to just say "no no, hermione were never litterary white colored, where did you get that silly idea? I never did :)"
Doesn't anyone know a passage like that?
How can we organize a crowd search to seek it in the books?
"Rowling loves black Hermione."
Hermione is a euphemism for penis.
>>7489738
She's just trying to copy Heller.
>mfw colonel korn is black
>>7489738
Honestly looks cute as hell. I don't know about you guys, but I prefer black women. This definitely explains why she's such a strong and independent young woman, she was fighting against racism before she ever fought against magical racism.
