Back when everyone was a farmer, everyone wanted to be a lord in the castle, having lots of delicious things to eat. Now, so many spend most of their lives indoors, eating delicious things, yet now everyone wants to be farmers. Is this just a case of "grass is greener?" Will I not be happier if I have my own land? I feel like it's hard to argue that raising a family is as easy in a city as it is on a 10-acre lot, out in the countryside…

Fuck off, Frank. No one reads your shitty books, no one cares that you're alive, you live all by yourself in a 540 sq. ft. studio apartment on the 38th floor of a 100-year-old building in a crummy part of Chicago, your parents ditched you there and fucked off to Florida, you have no prospects, and you're most likely diabetic from your awful diet of delivery food and alcohol, but you never go to the doctor, so you'll probably die, alone and unlamented, before you turn 40. Your YouTube channel is 100% astroturfed, you pay for views/likes/subscribes, you have zero organic engagement, and you're fooling absolutely no one, not even yourself. But to answer your question, people can decide for themselves by downloading your entire cacas librorum from https://files.catbox.moe/d9sukc.zip, or better yet, they can read two mean-spirited parodies of your work: Call Of United Airlines at https://files.catbox.moe/aw9gz2.pdf or Call Of Wells Fargo at https://files.catbox.moe/rpuvnd.pdf. Burn in hell, asshole.

The best depiction of femdom is SM Stirling's novel Drakon, which besides the femdom is clever and hilariously satirical. A close second is various episodes in the Flashman papers, which has two interesting things about it, firstly that the Flashie novels are well researched historical novels, so these women actually existed, and secondly that their author worked on the first two 1980s Superman movies and on Octopussy, so there's clearly femdom themes in there.

Sorry if you're not into femdom. Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty novels are pretty good.

The Captain underpants movie coming out lately has got me thinking.

If someone like say, Netflix, ever did another adaptation of the classic Wayside School books, one where Louis Sachar actually had input(like he did with Holes), which art style would be most aesthetically pleasing to use?

I would also like to read such a book. But everyone advises not exactly those books that interest me. And there is not enough time for reading. Recently wrote at university about costco, used https://graduateway.com/essay-examples/costco/ for this. I don't like to do this. When I wasn't in college, I had a lot of free time. Now everything has changed.

The author John Swartzwelder (the famous Simpsons writer) wrote a series of comedy novels that are a cross between 30's detective pulps and 50s sci-fis. They are strange and incredibly funny. The more art I experience, the more respect I have for comedic writers (who are actually funny)

Great writers don't have time for such nonsense. They have enough worries. I can't imagine how much effort it takes to write a whole book. I can’t just write an article at the university, but they have been doing it for years. Recently wrote at university about costco, used https://graduateway.com/essay-examples/costco/ for this. I just wouldn't be able to do everything myself. Well, in general, they read manga anyway, I'm joking.

It could work the other way:

* 4chan dies

* /lit/ anons, with literally no other option, read some books

* 4chan returns

* /lit/ anons are now the patrician men of letters they previously only pretended to be

* their brush with death has imbued them with a sense of purpose

* they put away childish things and crowdwrite

THE GUILD OF THE TAPIR

(Book One of The Tapir Chronicles)

* self-published, it attracts a series of excoriating one-star reviews on Goodreads from the usual suspects

* the Streisand Effect kicks in

I like it. It is sexy and the characters are sex havers. Thats one of the big differences between the virility of the pulps, and the almost incel sexual-frustration of the comics that stole a lot of their ideas from the pulps.

Spider-man, Batman, and Superman are all either incels or volcels, and I wouldn't be surprised if their writers were as well. But you know Richard Wentworth was fucking Nita van Sloan every night, and Lamont Cranston was running through all the young socialites. Heroes used to get the girl and fuck them. Now they get put on a pedestal.

Yup, I’m going through the full collection his Conan works (about as thick as the Bible btw) and I fully expected to be turned off by the 1930s prose and writing style and grammar even though I find myself having to look up a word or two every now and then it’s actually super digestible, Howard really knows how to make a scene and narrative flow smoothly in as far as I can tell. Also his humor and ‘sensitivities’ are very blunt by todays standards and it’s very funny. I want to give Barsoom stuff a try too eventually.
