Nick Land fanboy @AngloRemnant just put out this piece on Jacobite about the coming demise of the female sex and its replacement by capital. A pretty good piece.

if i bought us a warehouse in a mid sized us city, would you guys come read and write in it - you guys could each have a loft after proving some basic points of literacy/education

we can have a bar/cafe on the first floor to shell peanuts and shoot the shit

How come most people feel that the Odyssey is better, and a more influential work than the Iliad? It's a more traditional story, but I feel the themes in the Iliad are much more far-reaching and wide compared to those in the Odyssey. Both books are absolutely brilliant, but I firmly feel that The Iliad > The Odyssey.

Only /lit/ hipsters think this. There is a reason there are 10 Iliad quotes for every Odyssey quotes in Plato and Aristotle.

What does /lit/ think of annotations? I talked to some smart kids that say they hate them and find them a chore to do...despite the fact the teacher thinks we love doing them because we actually do the work.

Its summer now (obviously) and i have a project due monday...its on Catcher in the Rye..only have half the book annotated, does anyone have tips on annotating a book fast?

In my opinion I would just half ass them, especially since kids already do that and get a good grade

If it's something helpful like writing in definitions for obscure words or pointing out subtle details then I'm fine with that, but scribbling in a bunch of useless shit like in that picture should be a crime.

yeah...we also have mandatory stuff we have to annotate for...Diction, Imagery, Ethos Pathos Logos...stuff anyone with a brain can find with writing it down
