What are some good horror books?
Gravity's Rainbow
>inb4 skepticism
for real, it's terrifying and deals heavily with the supernatural

Salem's lot
At the mountains of madness

I've been making a panorama of South American literature. I could find some good stuff, mostly from Chile and Argentina. Why is it that Brazil being such a big country hasn't produced anything readable?
Pic unrelated
chile and argentina is shit tier south america.
all the good stuff is either from central america or the caribbean coast.
idk try assis?
>>7367945
My definition of South America excludes both places you said.
Assis seems to be the only named classic writer they have, I read his two main books. Feels the same as other third world realism literature, too "inspired" on european realism standards.
>>7367930
There are no good writers out of europe and us cause they all belong to an inferior race. deal with it
Who's the best black writer?
Your father. Your life is one hell of a story.

What's the verdict, /lit/? Does the genderswap work? Is it better than the original?
>>7367748
I don't care.
>>7367748
I think you got lost on the way to Reddit. What is this anyway, she switched all the characters genders or something?
she made fanfiction of her own shit
wow
how long can u go
>reading 1984, Brave New World, Lolita, Fahrenheit 911, Catcher in the Rye, Lord of the Rings, or the Great Gatsby
>not having shitty reddit-tier taste

Stupid dfw poster

That's one dank meme f a m.
I never see this talked about here.
How is it?
Any good? Worth Reading?
That must be one of the worst covers I have ever seen.
It is good, I like Kundera, but I can see why people might think he is a hack. I think Immortality is his best book, but this is a nice start point.

bruh literally just had a thread on this yesterday
just read it, it's quick and easy and yet still manages to be engrossing and have multiple layers of depth and beauty
What do you think of my thesis statement?
In Junot Diaz’s novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao Oscar’s ability to appreciate love is always growing, which makes him dismiss his past perception of love as a misinterpretation of his feelings.
My worry is that it's too simplistic, but then again I don't want to overcrowd my thesis with ideas.
I'm a senior in high school btw
I wrote mine on Brief Wondrous Life, too. BHSEC?
I don't know how much that thesis gives you to work with, desu. If it were me (again) I'd pick something closer to a comprehensive lense to view the book through than a simply true statement about the narrative.
I'd give examples but desu I skimmed the book and bullshit-ed my paper so I don't remember anything.
You aren't really arguing anything.
>>7367730
I revamped it
In Junot Diaz’s novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao Oscar only realizes the true nature of love after he becomes disillusioned and forms a sense of self-awareness because love is about oneself as much as it is about the other person.
thoughts?
the lyrics, I mean
I am a open pop music fanatic, I think it represents the hopes and dreams of the common people yo
>I think it represents the hopes and dreams of the common people yo
why would that be good?
>>7367477
It's not the hopes and dreams of the common people. It is the hopes and dreams that appeal to the widest and most marketable base. It's artificial and inauthentic garbage.
If you are approaching it from that perspective, you are just out of touch.

so there have been a few /lit/ literary journals in the past, but none in the last few years
recently I've seen ideology and pinecone, which is exciting, but when I look them up in the archives/warosu, they've been deleted
what fucking gives mods?
the hypersphere thread has been bumped for like two weeks and been made several times in the past months
heaven forbid a literary forum should actually try to make some lit or a lit group
I think you have to send an email to get a response.
Anons were trying to put together a Satori Sedai /lit/ zine but it went nowhere as far as I can see. They stopped responding to me too. I'm sad.
>a few /lit/ literary journals in the past
apart from TAR what else has there been
How do you deal with cold logic /lit/? I love engineering because of the creativity and personal touch involved, but for me math and science seems too impersonal. It seems that it heavily relies on some brain functions that can be named IQ. That is no artistry involved and the leap of genius is something impersonal that could be done by someone else in another time. If it wasn't for literature i would be quite alienated and paranoid.
tss why's it so cold did it forget its jacket or somethin i dunno
You have to live with the conflict of both until you die.
>>7367229
I study electrical engineering and passed through similar things, anon.
Until I realized what makes math and physics "unartistry" is the student eyes.
I personally find beauty in eletromagnetism, specially when the fields variate with time. But this only because I tried to focus not in "how to solve problems and get a good grade" but in why the equations are that (deductions, proves and such).
If you study math, physics or chemistry only to understand the method of solving problems, you'll have a boring and repetitive study.
Let's discuss this, one of the greatest things ever written
>>7367066
Halfway through the second essay. I enjoy the part about mans desire for cruelty. This is my secret love and glittering. It resonated with me b/c I only get off to rape videos on heavy R or intense Painal videos
>>7367715
I see...
I enjoy jokes where everything goes wrong for the subject.
Does anybody know what kind of writing style is pic related? or books similar to this?
Would love to learn how to write in this style for fun.
>>7367008
>vomit on the paper style
It's shit. Try reading Witz by Joshua Cohen.
>>7367018
thank you !
yeah I know it's look shitty.but it seems like it is on purpose ? Just seems like something fun to try an attempt
thx again lad
