i find that there is no one best place cor literary criticism. it's hard to find a critic that has something worthwhile to say about 19th century Russian lit as well as 21st century American lit. Just work on an individual basis. You took the time to read the book, so you can take the time to find good critics for them.

>Words ruin one's thoughts, paper makes them ridiculous, and even while one is still glad to get something ruined and something ridiculous down on paper, one's memory manages to lose hold of even this ruined and ridiculous something. Paper can turn an enormity into a triviality, an absurdity. If you look at it this way, then whatever appears in the world, by way of the spiritual world so to speak, is always a ruined thing, a ridiculous thing, which means that everything in this world is ridiculous and ruined. Words were made to demean thought, I would even go so far as to state that words exist in order to abolish thought, and one day they will succeed one hundred percent in so doing. In any case, words (are) bringing everything down. Depression derives from words, nothing else.

That makes you smarter than all the idiots who don't realize how stupid their ideas are. It means you can actually tell when you have a good idea.

Anything, really. But the stuff I normally read is:

>Fiction
Literary Fiction
Fantasy Fiction / Sci-Fi

OR

>Non-Fiction
Historical
Political (often Marxist)
Biographical
Religious texts

The Sun Also Rises kind of.

>>9829263
The Sun Also Rises.

DH Lawrence "Lady Chatterly's Lover". Late stage TB causes incredible feverish lust, but also impotence. DH couldn't get it up unless his wife did anal. In a letter he called her "my little shitbag"; the dude was absolutely overwrought with lust and love. One of the most under appreciated writers in the language.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

I will never read his books again because of how much of a faggot he is on twitter about Trump. I'm fine with people shitting on Trump, but when a grown man is so completely obsessed and whiny about him I can't take them seriously as a person.

Yes, its fantastic

i almost ordered that off amazon for 15 bucks, glad i didn't cuz it's almost definitely stupid shit, and also i wouldn't really read it anyways

Its decent. cool reads.

Austen has the bantz. Stop being a retarded /r9k/-tier frogman

Y'know for ages Jane Austen was hyped up to me and I just never got around to reading her. Probably I saw it as too girly.

When I finally did I was surprised by two things:
>Austen writes in a pretty uncomplicated, accessible way. This isn't high tier prose.
>Austen's characters are often genuinely funny as fuck.

I blew through all her stuff really quickly once I got started, I enjoyed it a lot. I have to say the more active, more 'bad girl' protagonists (like Emma) are much more fun to read about than the really nice ones (I wanted Persuasion to have a bad end).

I think in terms of character dynamics and insight into the time period her books are great but not really in any other respect.
