Good day, gentlemen. I as a Russian virgin of my own literature was reflecting about whether or not should I start off reading this book or any other Tolstoy's work in particular? For it seems to me that this book was likely made either for little girls or stupid homy maids. Nonetheless if it's not so, could you explain why is this considered to be a classic with such a suspicious title on it? I mean I'm told that what was written in the book is all about stupid love and freaking ho Anna Karenina herself and her further suicide (fuck yea, I wish all whores did it prospectively). Anyways, the main reason me being here is your personal and independent advise regarding the book.

He asked for the martian, get him the martian.
Don't be a pretentious faggot.
If you want to get him another book, fine, but at least get him what he asked for.

It's an alright book, ignore the /lit/ circlejerk. If he wants it give it to him.

Just get him what he bloody wants, smartass.

I know this is the only one I read and I didn't get it at all.
They say the book is good and influential and shit, but I just can't see it.
Please, explain, why is it considered even slightly good?
>>
no. that would be the glass bead game.
narcissus and goldmund is also superior.
you can make an argument for journey to the east as well though it's not my personal preference.

How come /lit/ never talks about magazines? Are there any /lit/ approved mags? (Indie or otherwise)
Are there any journalist here (or anyone aspiring to be one)?

Depends on what you do there.
Reading literature? Live there for all we care.
Writing? Have a novel next to your laptop. No one will judge you too harshly for it.
Jerking off? Try to do it in the 500s. No one will notice, or care.
Jerking off near the kids' section? Lord help you, you deserve to be judged.

>The casting of a black actress as Hermione, a role portrayed in the films by Emma Watson, has garnered the most attention, leading Rowling to tweet, “Canon: brown eyes, frizzy hair and very clever. White skin was never specified. Rowling loves black Hermione.”

There's already a thread about it.
Also, who the fuck cares.

Rowling is a single mother and a hack
She has indeed been blacked

I'm not a huge fan of DFW but this movie was really damn good and now I wish I could have had a 3-hour conversation with him.

How do you react to people who justify their shitty taste in literature with "it's subjective"?
