I would love to see him, once, just once, with his ass gaping open the height and width of a beer can.

that's a pretty pessimistic ideology you've got there yourself, friend.

This thread is about literature, Max Weber and Kant ya dingus.

Why would someone work to write a book to speak ill of working? Id like to think there is no one that hypocritical but I'm sure I'm wrong.

>Hey /lit/, d-do I fit in yet?

>>7459967
/lit/ has a pretty fucking big portion of people who love murakami/will defend him, which isn't surprising since a significant portion of /lit/ is comprised of said pseudointellectual retards

Lit generally dislikes it. Harold Bloom called it the death of art

The reasons I'm not a fan are that it rewards easy, immediate engagement rather than depth or complexity, the importance of rhyme is inflated, the current culture is all about oppression and mentioning that you are oppressed instantly makes your poem better, regardless of content, it makes art into a competition, and the fact that judges are chosen from the crowd makes for a weird system.

It'll be forgotten before—well, I wanted to say before the end of this sentence, but that's not quite true. It'll be forgotten before the people who currently do it are dead. And they'll all be forgotten before they're dead, too.

They got to be so powerful and they're privileged to such taboo things exactly because they don't go confessing their sins to anyone.

Especially writers.

You gotta go buddhism if you want to eliminate desire
read the Dhammapada and learn to meditate senpai.

Of course.
It's full of good shit, even if you're just reading it so you can catch all the allusions other works make to it.

because kjv is to english literature what homer was to the greeks. it's the cultural foundation of the whole thing.

and by whole thing i mean western civilization
