>tfw you realize that this board has nothing of any intellectual

fun

>>9495095
Laughs.

Plus I like to entrench myself for months in different culture to get a feel for the land. What can I say, hate is mysterious.

Begrudging habit.

Most of us are smug narcissists with delusions of grandeur and compulsive lying habits.
You would think this is one of the better boards on 4chan because of the assumed self-respect and knowledge but really this place is just a place where hurt little men try to seem strong

>>9495095
I'm an autist and this is the closest thing i have of a group of friends for discussing literature.

To depress people

I just started coming here. I saw the fine thread about critiquing writing and so I decided to stay for more.

>>9495095
to witness (and participate in) shitposting with a more loquacious flavor

so basically just fun. pretentious fun

>>9495115
Youch.

Does smug narcissist mean being smug about describing yourself as a narcissist?

And doesn't delusions of grandeur just mean hope, and compulsive lying habits storyteller?

Cause I'm doing a story set in ancient Greek times about a bard, and I want to find the humane side of this tragic character, especially want makes him worthy of our pity. Possible there is no pity except for the bard's stories that are carried on. Maybe for every one poet that we praise there's a thousand cunts.

>>9495095
For the puss.

>>9495095
Though there is nothing of any intellectual value, it is the least degraded of all literary boards on the internet.
What do you suggest instead? /r/books? Goodreads clubs? Don't make me sick.

>>9495095

Funposting desu family.

I enjoy the shitposts

You are right I am done with /lit/ this place is too depressing.

Because I used to think this was a place for discussing literature. You know what, this is going to be my last post on lit. Wtf happened here? Why are booktuber threads, Shit poetry critiques and angsty blog posts so common?

This board is full of pseudos who read difficult books so that they can brag about it and have a sense of superiority over Chad's who regularly Fuck sluts, something the pseudo lit user desperately wants to do but doesn't have the balls to. A board full of losers who think more about girls and friends and their own inferiority than books, who hate to see anyone having fun and compulsively SHIT on anything remotely popular just so they can have their sense of superiority over the "plebs" and the "normies". What a bunch of fucking losers, the majority of you.

Am extremely small minority here is very good, and the they are the kind of people I want to regularly interact with. I've only stayed on this shithole for so long because of those people, but the influence from the rest of 4chan is too strong these days.

You are wrong senpai. There is nobody good here, we're all scum to the last one. Leave now.

>anime poster
There was a time where they were just called "posters." Maybe you should talk to your pals on Reddit about this instead.

>>9497359
fuck off nerd, anime sucks, and even back in the day it was called "avatar fagging" kys

>>9495095
it's a good jumping off point from pleb books into literature. Also offers help to improve your writing and offers discussions on books in general with people who aren't totally retarded.

>>9495095

>Why do you still post here?

I only post about non-literature related topics which get deleted as soon as the discussion starts getting good. Exempting the memes, the only productive thing about this entire board is the fantasy/sci-fi thread. Everything else is literally a repeat of the same thing over and over and over again.

Also, compulsive habit.

>>9495115
You are right you fucking asshole

>>9497364
Back in my day people actually knew what avatarfagging was and didn't throw it around every time someone replied with an image

>>9495114
This.

>>9495095
I try to get people butthurt because people here take winning arguments very seriously so when they get mad I actually know they're mad IRL.

>>9495095
Idk why everybody is always complaining about this board. I've gotten more reading recommendations from here than from my university syllabi. I've learned a great deal from people's interpretations of various works. I've been encouraged to learn that so many people share the same passion for literature and philosophy as I do, because aside from the basic white girls reading Milk and Honey or We Should All Be Feminists on the subway, I'd have no indication that any living young person had any interest in the arts.

There are of course some good for nothing shitposters, chads, brainless, and shit-tier /r/bookers on this board, but on the whole it's excellent. It's like a forum or a salon in the old days, like the one CS Lewis and Tolkien sat around in, sharing ideas, jokes whatever.

Yeah, I love this board. Fuck you OP

>caring about pseudo intellectual discussions on the internet

I come here to discuss books I've read because reddit is full of bleeding heart liberal faggots.
Despite past invasions, /lit/ still has some of that classic channer mentality that makes conversation here worth something.

Let's go to /r/canonade, make it home, then make it private.

Anything more than what?
What are you even getting your knickers in a twist over?

>>9495095
1) I came across a quality thread a while ago and I stayed and it became habit.
2) Even with all the shit posting, there can be the occasional gem.
3) The little that I do post, however, I hope helps bring the board upward. I want to do what ever I can that ennobles and upbuilds. (Chances are your post will be deleted because it's not about a book. I would appreciate a meta-thread once and awhile seeking internal improvement).
