Worth the time and effort until you start getting erotic

At which point you might as well watch porn for the plot

I'd prefer not to.

Enjoy your ban.

If you don't empathize deeply with this quote, if it doesn't strike a chord with the inner child that all of us have, then idk what the fuck you're doing on the /lit/ board, go shitpost about the ez tv you just wasted 5 hours binge watching.

Radio Free Albemuth

Don't know

Perhaps, I can recommend you some hard terror books.

How come there are no good female writers?

I know exactly what you are doing and I want you to stop.

Isn't the market pretty saturated already so to speak? People also provide that stuff for free on literotica and other sites. Still I'd be interested to know if I could make my hobby pay :^)

I made a ton of progress by following King's hard-nosed work ethic for several months. I don't think I can write my best work that rapidly but it was really good practice and I'm glad he convinced me to do it.

That chapter where King just shits on the guy who ran him over with a van was dank as fuck.

>>7227131
Haha yeah he's bitter as hell, even includes the guy's name

And these reason I bring up the movie at all is because it frames the question in a plausible way, I know scholars argue over the intentions of crazy artists like Henry Darger, about the supposed gender/queer implications of his fantasy girls have dicks etc. and I'm sure they argue about other crazy artists

Look up authorial intent and the post-structuralists I cba to type

Thinly disguised homework thread.

On the off chance you actually care about the subject matter, all you're going to find here is a lot of goalpost-shifting between art having value as a medium of expression and art having value only to the audience.

Bhagavad Gita is definitely the most applied of all the sections of the Mahabharata, and it could be argued that it is the most significant portion. However, I think you'll benefit greatly from reading an abridged version of the Mahabharata as well as a full version of the Bhagavad Gita because it gives you more "historical" context. It's similar to how reading the Old Testament provides a foundation for the New Testament to deliver its message

>Also, for Buddhism, should I read the Dhammapada as well as Bodhi's In the Buddha's Words anthology, or is the former adequate on its own?

I'd recommend both. The Dhammapada is a fairly short read as far as Buddhist texts go, and Bhikkhu Bodhi's anthology is pretty much the best introduction to Theravada Buddhism out there.

Bumping with interest. Have been wanting to read the Gita since seeing Charles Lloyd perform an extremely moving reading at a concert last year.

Why would you pay that kinda money when you can just defecate on some computer paper

You can complete the trilogy if you can track down Dublin3rs.

>>7226745
Dubliners 4: the need 4 speed is pretty good tbh. The franchise didn't get tired.

Its structure was creative editing done by his wife disregarding his instructions to publish the books separately.

>>7226696
Thats really interesting, The Savage Detectives and 2666 were intended to be the same novel?

>>7226696
Oh I read that wrong. I enjoy its structure so kudos to his wife I suppose. What was the original format?

>>7226624
Yeah this is a board for LITERATURE.

Fuck off, Sadie.
