But anon, my masterpiece is already self-published :^)

I post pictures of overly made up women on English language Japanese manga imageboards alongside poorly lettered insults to elicit disproportionate responses from others.

I've written one today, it wasn't very successful.

one of my ideas centers on a sales agent who learns how to emotionally manipulate his customers before he breaks ties with the shady group of multimedia institutions he does work for

another involves an international syndicate of person-to-person radio operators with convoluted ties to terrestrial and satellite broadcasting networks mapping out an undernet of global communication on the sly. an academic conspiracy complicates the network's regular broadcast and leads to government and cultic interference

the royal tenenbaums ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Probably some bullshit made by Resnais or Jean Luc Godard.

But I understand Lenin.
I fundamentally believe the Vanguard party will become corrupted.

Have you read Kropotkin or Proudhon?

>Yeah, sure
>Oh, sure.... I gotta go

I'm sure being bitter, inarticulate, narrow minded, awkward around women, dismissive and shallow has had a long history.

if this really happened (it didn't) it was because she thought you were a plebeian who didn't know books.

Always been you pretentious shit

Ivo Andrić, Danilo Kiš, Milorad Pavić, Desanka Maksimović, Vladislav Dis, Milan Rakić

Those are the first I could think of.

Poles and Chechz are the most cultured out of the bunch and have the most authors. Best known must be Lem and Hasek.

Escaping thoughts of you in mind,
beleaguers me to take the skies.

Enveloped by that world of blue,
these thoughts of mine take on a hue,
that no one man can stop or sunder,
these thoughts of you strike me like thunder.

In which with lies we tell ourselves.
This one, I beg, pray not you tell.

What should I do?

Monogatari. I mean it's a moot question since most animes do begin as light novels- by default "literature".
But Monogatari, even in the anime, focuses on literary elements such as dialogue, characterization and symbolism. Most importantly- it experiments with language itself, focusing on the written word. Now if that's not literary then I've been reading the wrong literary theories (and I haven't.) There's also booty and rape which is nice. (pic related)

Oh, and OP's pic related is not literature. It's beyond literature. It's more beautiful and meaningful than literature will ever be- it's politics <3

Because it's dark compared to the Renaissance and the Enlightenment.

>>6365630
How? It seems like it is considered dark because it is less known/studied.

>>6365639
It was the term used by scholars of the Renaissance to describe the earlier culture they were seeking to advance up and overcome. The values of the Renaissance have influenced latter thought so the term stuck. No legit historian would use the term "Dark Ages", though, nor would any legit historian claim that pre-Renaissance Europe was an age of total ignorance, and certainly no one would claim this was the case for the Muslim world or China in that period.

I became a pope like three years ago and I can't stop. I stopped riding the metro and I don't spend much time in my country anymore.

Here's how I did it.

-Remember the average pope condemns like zero sex abusers a year. If you deal with 5 a day, you are 5 condemnations above the average pope

-Don't force yourself to meet with poor people. Commit to washing the feet of 5 bums a day. I swear after three days you'll feel like washing more and after a month or so you should be washing 50-100 feet a day for pleasure

-Be nice to various degenerate groups at the same time. When I'm attacked by a difficult lobbying group of "Women should be Priests" degenerates or a tired argument from England about why "Being Gay is Okay" that makes me sleepy I start being nice to another and switch. This should refresh your head. Keep them thematically different. I support non-practicing homosexuals and moral atheists.

-It isn't a race. Being holy won't make you into the next saint that fast. Try to acknowledge what actions are for you to condemn and which aren't.

-Sell the physical copies of everything you own. When you give the things from your own money you'll feel like you're actually helping the world instead of making it a shittier place.

-Start with issues highly discussed in America and degenerate Europe so you feel motivated to help turn them to the light.
