Do I have to just write when I'm drunk?

>>7372290
No. You have to write while you're drunk and sad.

About 6 months.

60% of the Old Testament was just a fucking slog to get through and I read it on and off a lot, forcing my way through most of it. At least I can say I've read it from cover to cover now.

I have only read Genesis, John, and Revelations

>>7372188
damn...
you read other books while reading the bible right?

It is the abbreviation for the French opposition party you mong (L'organisation Libérale)

>>7372165
They wouldn't use that abbreviation so casually in the New York Times for an American audience, m8. Houellebecq is lmaoing.

>>7372159

It's the job of literature and journalism to reflect current culture. It can go nowhere without referencing popular slang, or internet memes.

>>7372148
not /lit/

>>7372148
The universe is not old enough to achieve this level of order by random chance.

>>7372162
That's a terrible argument though.

René Guenon studied comparative religion.

I fucking loved Rant and Invisible Monsters. His ability to recognize human desires and then to twist that until it becomes something unrecognizable is wonderful, his experimenting with style is fun, and the monotone drawl of his text is my favorite thing. But he's accessible to "normies", so /lit/ thinks he's stupid. I don't know, maybe it changed, but when I was on here, everyone scoffed at his name.

His biggest downside is that once you've read 5 or so of his books, you just can't deal with any more.

have you heard of richard dawkins?

I recommend "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins.

Did you know he also invented the word "meme"?

>>7371940

Have you heard of going to hell?

feel better?

>>7371601
Basically. No hardline, lifelong virgin religious zealot is going to be the headliner in a university class dedicated to making girls feel good about their decision to pay tuition to party and talk about feminism.

O'Connor was extremely talented, but doesn't fit the narrative.

>>7371601

Not worth reading honestly.

Also, I don't remember anything about space nazis.

>>7371565
