What's good /lit/.
I'd like to get into reading novels and shit and thought it'd be a good idea to start by looking for some good black comedy books about police/detectives within populous cities.
Any suggestions?

I see very little discussion about England's Jane on here. Emma is masterfully crafted. Austen is one of the greatest English novelists of all time, I would even put her above Dickens. This thread is for Austenites and those who want to know about Austen.
>Austen as a moral philosopher can also be discussed.

Is ham actually delicious, or have Jewish publishers published material promoting the food so much that we think it tastes good when it actually doesn't?

Hey guys, what are we going with for the new movement? Metamodernism? New Sincerity? Altermodernism? Post-postmodernism? Performatism? Pseudo-modernism?
For the love of all that is holy, can we please decide on a fucking term? Fuck.

Just so you know, post-modernism isn't as much a movement itself as an improvement over modernism. While its stance is clearly different it remains tied to the same topics.
>Intersubjectivity instead of universality
>Progression instead of utopy
>Defining morals on human actions instead of metaphysics (modernism had the same idea but stopped at rejecting christian morality and somehow ended up making its own metaphysical justification)
Post-modernims is just modernism 2.0 and we haven't even fully expanded its posibilities. Stop treating philosophy as if it were a new iphone you fucking diletante.

only read Axolotl. it's good. combines two approaches i tend to dislike, 1 the entire story is one focused, methodical observation of a basically mundane subject and account of all the rote activity involved, 2 this culminates in a metaphysical event within the confines of that mundanity. it reminded of one of the slower/less fantastical stories in Cosmicomics, like the one about the mollusc, except they are more deliberate in their "investigation", more conscious of its structure, and concerned with it more than with character/human psychology, as with Axolotl.
>>
62 modelo para armar is a nice novel and has some interesting things going on regarding its structure. If you enjoy post modernist fuckery you'll probably enjoy it.
Look, can we just put this book to rest? Or ban discussion of it? Both sides of the discussion are blatantly wrong. What I see most often is people claiming it to be terrible. Look, it's obviously not terrible. It's a decent work by a decent writer, and it is a good representative of postmodernism. It's not great, but it's certainly not terrible either. On the other side we have people who claim it as one of the best books of all time, which is also blatantly false. Can't we put it to rest with that?

Anyone down for a Quran read through?
IJ worked great during the summer but GR was a let down because so many people bailed when they failed to understand it. I'm fully serious in this. I believe a read through of the Quran might be the only threads free of people from imgur and reddit.

Why would you believe this? Im sure reddit is filled with "Quran is a hidden gem" and "Quran has absolutely stunning poetry."
Do something pomo and accessible so everyone feels like they're smarter than they actually are--a Barthelme collection or something.
