My books if anyone cares
https://publish.sweek.com/site/index.php?r=userwebsite/bookdetails&id=260975
Volume 2 of the essays should be out next year, although most are posted here:
codadig251
Getting around the literary world during my studies has been fascinating and difficult at the same time. Like the complex storylines in the novels, there are turns and turns in my academic journey. Through these difficulties, Edubirdie https://essays.edubirdie.com/do-my-assignment has been a source of support for me; they've become my literary friends, helping me to understand the intricacies of assignments and essays. We write academic success stories together. I therefore have a secret weapon as well as books when I venture into the world of literature: Edubirdie, my academic ally!
Prussian literature
Hey /lit/.
I have never posted here even once.
I need recommendations for good books written by Prussian authors. They can be German as it would help with me read German but need a english translation as well. Also I prefer fiction to non fiction unless the non fiction is an old time analysis of art or political theory.
Due To Law Of Karma Lack Of Support Connection From This Society, I Must Leave Now
Due To Law Of Karma Lack Of Support Connection From This Society, I Must Leave Now
As I have said before, I did not want to release the Divine World Peace Solution document without receiving anything in return.
But I still chose to do it, thus the karma back is coming after me almost instantly now.
Thus I must leave now.
This society and civilization are too corrupt, not worth for me to sacrifice everything.
If you really want to support me, send all the money donation you can within the next 24 hours for my works so far.
After the next 24 hours, without support from you, there is no reason for me to continue to wait and give out my godlike wisdom for free anymore.
I will 200% leave after the next 24 hours without any money donation from you.
Full announcement will be come next after that point.
Such a terrible world and society.
When the corruption and problem at the top, then words are pointless, thus it must be a real fight !

The Savior

Shambhala Kingdom, Hollow Earth Civilization ?!
Who, what beings entities who that civilization ?
Go and tell your King/Queen that you guys are just bunch of idiots losers who do not have gut to face, to debate, to battle directly with me the real Savior Legend.
Mostly like the beings entities who did give technology to this civilization is come from the Shambhala Kingdom or the Hollow Earth civilization (the group who has escaped the biblical floods).
Do not obey them for they are not the most high beings/entities of this Universe !
There is a very high chance some of the so called “referee” beings entities that come from the civilization, probably there were some kind of secret agreement between all nations about it in the past.
If that the case, then it must coming to an end now !
I do not surprise with all of those.
If I want I could easily break all the secret barrier, the gates to enter the secret hidden civilization inside the Hollow Earth !
Most mortal humans cannot but I can easily !
To all the messenger, go tell your King/Queen contact me immediately to either transfer the throne to the most high one or the power to monitor the surface civilization, his/her mission is completed and over !

The Savior

The Forbidden Personal Human God Evolution Document Offer Is Reopen Again Till The End
The Forbidden Personal Human God Evolution Document Offer Is Reopen Again Till The End
Source, More Info: www. ascension joy .com/11/2023/the-forbidden-personal-human-god-evolution-document-offer-is-reopen-again-till-the-end/
So I have shared and revealed the divine world peace solution document with all of you, especially the top entities. Whether they read it or not, whether they have send/forward to all top national government, world military or not, I am do not know at all.
Now all I have to do is wait and maybe some other related articles about that Society Civilization Development Vision.
Even some of my articles about that solution got deleted in many big forum, which mean they are too sensitive and not a joke for sure.
It is pretty boring to wait and I do not sure and do not have official access to know the current all world affair.
So I have decide to reopen the special offer: Forbidden Personal Human Evolution Offer to all of you.
Because some of you may want and like it.
But this time, there is some change:
– Not guaranteed selling offer.
– The price is set by you.
– The using rule are still the same which mean not allowed to buy/sell/share/trade under all circumstance.
This offer will end after either my final departure of the internet or get contact by world military, national government of this realm or I no longer need money/wealth.
So it is very open but very limited time offer. Whether I decide to sell or not, it is up to me but not you.
If you really want to buy this sacred forbidden document, then contact me as soon as possible with your proposal, the sooner the better because the time is running out quick.
If the recent Divine World Solution Document are great, then the personal human evolution is probably out-of this world.
Best Regard,
The Savior

Only The Old Religions Can Save This Civilization From Total Collapse Destruction

I was absolutely correct about the overall solution to end the corona virus COVID pandemic event at the very beginning.
I still remember I had made some article telling about using multi religions to end that events.
For various reasons like I did not receive enough financial support, got attacked by many stupid low level beings entities both inside and outside my living country, that is why I did not spend more time to go deeper to craft more new unique strategy.
My old strategy can only have a small number of population while if want to work for the mass public then must using new method.
With the new war in the Middle East between Israel vs Palestine, Jews vs Islam, then I can confident to say that “only old religions that can save this civilization from total collapse destruction”.
There won’t be any other working “tools” for this dying society.
Even before the new war in the Gaza, I already crafted and found a new method to save this civilization and I have just shared it yesterday “The Sacred Divine World Peace Solution Document”.
Religion is great, but if want to make it work for the mass public useless eaters then you must merge it with financial economy system for the mass public people only care about money.
All other “language” such as evolution, development, ascension are pointless !
All the old religions such as Islam, Jews, Christianity, Buddhist, Hindu, etc. have their own unique lesson about life which people should learn, whether about protecting the Earth planet environment or for personal health.
But in order to make it work, it must be done in an elegant way, you just cannot force the sleepy mass public to study, to follow all those religions in this modern today world !

However, services that offer 'Law Assignment Help' can be a lifesaver for students pursuing legal studies. These services often provide expert guidance and support, helping students navigate through intricate cases, statutes, and legal theories.
Hi 2 and 3
Oh look, an unmoderated board that's getting worse
What a splendid opportunity to bring all the attention to myself
Intellectuals, i want you to make me wiser. In exchange for that, if you are capable of making me wise in a manner that I wasn't already, then i'll reward you in some way, like blessing you or teaching me about a subject you request.

IS RYAN A GIRL?
IS RYAN A GIRL?
Ryan was seated, somewhere. He had a question. He thought of his mother.
"Ma, am I a girl?"
Ryan's mother paused, I guess. But, really, she was kind of busy with other thoughts, or things. She didn't look at her son. She remained quiet.
Ryan started touching his dick. Again.
"Stop that," said Ryan's mother. "Why do you always have to do that?"
She was so fucking sick of her son. She considered she might need to drown him in the bathtub again. Extra bleach in the water, this time. She usually added some amount of bleach to the drowning-cleanse water.
"It was an itch, Ma. I swear," Ryan lied. His Autism was showing through his lacking expressiveness. His unnatural, and slow, way of being.
"Ryan, honey, I do believe you to be a girl, but what's that between your legs?"
"It's a little 'dog boy!" squeaked Ryan, excited, a bit happy, for no good fucking reason.
"What kind of buns do you want, sweetie?"
"Baby buns, Ma."
"That shit again?"
"Yeah, Ma, always."
Ryan's mother then proceeded to beat the shit out of that Autistic fuckwit, and Satan grew sick of writing this story.
In conclusion? Ryan is, in fact, a girl.
Raped the wrong buns, bitch.
-
Years later, Ryan's mother was grateful he finally moved out at the age of 39 or 40. She didn't really want to spend her retirement with Ryan listening in on her through the wall. Ryan's mother had murdered all of her dogs, all four, and if Ryan were to come back, he'd certainly be the fifth.
Ryan was especially happy with his beard. And the free kid buns to put in the wrong spot. He 'dogged them a few times. Perhaps many. His son William was jerkable. William became an A-list actor who pretends to be Billie Eilish, a famous and successful musician. Billie Eilish, the real Billie Eilish, was the oft-raped buns. Aforementioned. Another of Ryan's sons, probably jerkable, became an actor who portrays the musicians Dominic Fike and Ashnikko. Those raped baby buns grew up to be… Many musicians, many names.
And, Ryan? He grew up to be… Someone who finally moved out of Billie Eilish's house, for good. Ryan wanted to be a champion, not a choker.
But, to this very fucking day, Ryan still stalks the real Billie Eilish, without cessation. Ryan is keen to rape it. Ryan also wants to murder it for its assets. Even though Uncle Billie Eilish left Ryan nothing, just like Ryan's mother. No one left Ryan a thing, for some reason.
And now, Satan really is done with this story.
AND DONE WITH RYAN.
-
Ryan's soul, his true self, can be felt and observed in this short story.
I am standing on the edge of the battlefield, my body shaking and my hands trembling. My heart is beating too fast and I can't seem to breathe right. I am sweating from all over my body and I have to hold my head down to keep myself from throwing up.
The smell of blood and burnt flesh is heavy in the air. It is suffocating me, and I want to get out of here. But I can't. I have to watch and protect my people.
I look up at the sky. It is a beautiful day.
The sun is shining, birds are chirping and I can feel the wind in my hair. It is a beautiful day.
I don't understand why the people are fighting. I don't understand why we are at war.
The only thing I know is that they want the crystal dragons gone. And I have to help them.
It is important to me. I have to protect my family and friends. But I don't know how.
I'm scared. I don't want to die. I want to go home and be with my mother.
I want to sleep in my own bed. I want to eat my favorite foods. But I can't.
I have to fight. I have to protect the people. I have to defeat the crystal dragon.
I don't want to die. I can't die. I have to live. I have to protect the people.
I heard a scream, this is not the first one as we are in the battlefield, but this sounded different, like a girl screaming.. in pleasure.
The Fate Of This Civilization Will Be Decided In This Month May 2023
The Fate Of This Civilization Will Be Decided In This Month May 2023

This civilization is heading toward to an end unless a real miracle occur.
But miracle only come with hard works, you cannot find miracle by just praying or doing any kind of ritual/practices.
As I have said, you can only change the way of what people think about life by new unique creations.
The big problem is many top secret controllers, governments are still instead of find the solution, they are waiting for public sleepy people solve it own problem.
But the current society system is not even ready since it only designed for certain nations in Western world (Americas, Europe). Unless you are living in those nations, you will have a chance to setup, run a new international business.
Otherwise, no matter how talent you are, how your products, ideas are new unique good, you still cannot do anything.
That’s is pretty much what was happened and are still happening to me.
I have a lot of great new unique ideas, books, products that can change this society for the better but I just cannot make it become reality because I am living in a restricted 3rd world nations where I cannot open international payment account and you just cannot run a new giant company from a low reputation nation since most people will laugh and ignore by just seeing the jurisdiction name.
That is also the reason I am seeking to “franchise”, collaborate with any other groups, entities from the West but still cannot find one that “match” my standard.
Frankly, if I run new startup business in Western world I would easily become multi millionaires if not billionaires within 12 months. You can check my books, my ideas, my new unique project introduction to see, to check for yourself.
My personal situation had gone from bad to worst so I cannot find any new desire, motivation to do anything for this world anymore because money is not my objective, I only want to make money just to give some of my relative member who are still in sleepy mode like most of the public people.
I as the real Savior Messiah Buddha cannot continue to wait anymore.
I will must go completely silence and abandon this civilization or must do like what I am thinking in my mind.
There is no option of waiting anymore.
This month of May 2023 will the be final one.
Only me can change the life perspective of people (both the public and private elite group) but at the moment I do not have enough “ingredients” to make that happen.
If there is really groups entities who are fighting for the better society better world then they MUST contact me in May 2023. Otherwise, all the entities in this civilization are corrupt and not worth to be saved anymore.
I won’t be suprised if the Bible floods like event or any natural disaster will occur again after May 2023. They will be made by super gods/deities.
This time I did not come with plain warning but I came with real products, real ideas, real visions. If the top secret controllers, groups, governments, etc. cannot understand, do not even just invest in me to give it a try then there is absolutely nothing I can do anymore.
And since when I the only beings that have enough power and talent who able to “save” this entire society civilization no longer in the game of life then all super gods/deities will come and destroy everything.
This is a very possibility, whether you can accept it or not it is total up to you.
It is risk free to invest in me with little money but the reward could be enormous.
Do you see any beings who can talk like me, who have big ideas like me?
Probably not.
This article will be my one of very last message to this civilization.

World War 3 WW3 Is Going To Occur Because I The Savior Is In Bad Mood
World War 3 WW3 Is Going To Occur Because I The Savior Is In Bad Mood
The only person that can prevent World War 3 is me, the real Savior Messiah Buddha.
But now I am in extremely bad mood (over the last several months already).
And I have decide this month May 2023 will be my last patience and waiting month for this society/civilization.
I have showed and given many proof such as unique ideas, books, courses, humanity projects that will great benefit this civilization.
But no any groups/entities want to collaborate at all either for money, wealth, good karma or just for their jobs.
My personal situation is terrible, I cannot open new international business from my low tier country which have too many restrictions.
Thus, it is better for me to give up, to stay silence and let this civilization sink and collapse.
If you know any beings, entities who truly want world peace and better society for all, then you should tell them to contact me or make big donation to me before too late.

Description
Money or gold or any type of currency is the root problem of almost everything on Earth since ancient times till modern today.
Money is an evil force, that what many people have been said.
But no, money is not evil, money is not the root problem.
The problem is the people, human !
Because they cannot control money in a correct way, many of them, at least 90% of total world population in my opinion if not 99%.
Why?
Because lack of education, lack of information, lack of guide.
No any class or school tell you or teach you in correct way about what is truly money, how to control, master money to the point that you never need to be worry about it.
I used to be love money like many of you but no longer anymore because I have fully study, understand and master it to highest level.
That is the reason I am writing this book “Learn Study Master Money To Have A Better Life”.
This book will give you new approach about money, new theory, new knowledge wisdom about money/wealth in the society.

Book I Keep Seeing But Can
There's this book, and its driving me insane that I cant find it. I can't even recall the name, except that it involved perhaps 8-10 dimensions.
From what I can recall, it was written by a younger man, but the book itself was incredibly complex and complicated. The cover was somewhat colorful and had at least a couple spheres/circles on it.
I've been looking for this book for years, and each time it's escaped my mental grasp. It's the only book I've ever truly wanted to read for its own sake, and I'm going to go insane if I don't find it soon.

The Best Public Way To End The COVID Pandemic Is Using Climate Change Reason
The Best Public Way To End The COVID Pandemic Is Using Climate Change Reason
Source, More Info: www . ascensionjoy . com/04/2023/the-best-public-way-to-end-the-covid-pandemic-is-using-climate-change-reason/
This idea belongs to me, no any entities/organizations allowed to use without receiving my special permission for this crazy good idea.
The real reason COVID pandemic is still a mystery to all.
In my opinion, they are come from a combination of difference factors such as the eco system (climate change), the society system, the technology machine, etc. with that direct result to the human development issue.
How the COVID pandemic should be ended in the public way?
The official public organization such as the UN or WTO or national government can declare from the official statement but then it does not bring any benefit into the society at all, especially in term of human development evolution.
So what is the best official public way to end the COVID Pandemic event?
My answer my idea is using climate change as the main reason.
Because climate change or eco system affect all beings in this planet in either direct or indirect way.
Example: when the weather rainy or sunny, people will have different mood different decision.
If I was the decision maker, then here is the plan I will use:
1. Declare COVID pandemic event started from a combination of difference factors and one of them is the Climate Change.
2. People can gain natural “COVID vaccine” by study learning about Climate Change topic, and the most effective way is reading Climate Change subject book or any type of material.
3. Force all technology company remove their algorithm of suggestion on the main website of celebrities or favorite habit of users, change it to Climate Change related video only.
4. Open a public Climate Change creator competition to all the public people in the most fair way. Where only single individual person is allowed, do not allow any group/organization (from 2 person) to make sure the fairness and equal.
People can create book, poem, music, video, etc. About Climate Change topic.
5. Open a public Climate Change knowledge competition.
This could be done via digital cyber and/or in physical in-person.
Of course only individual real person is allowed
In both public competitions above, there will be 2 types of league: national league vs world league.
There will be also big prize reward to attract users, players.
– It is better to “issue” the money via climate change competition (to direct good user who care about the Earth environment) rather than giving money to the people in national government.
– Technology is a big issue, especially the social media.
By deleting, changing the algorithm of suggestion, display on the default main application, people no longer in the cyclone matrix media of many rubbish video. They can still able to search those video if they like, but no longer by default display/suggestion.
It is better to display the default app as Climate Change topic or eco system topic than any other subject.
– When you have public individual competition, you will remove their stupid animal lifestyle behavior of team group working but heading them forward real human god living with solo individual decision maker that matter.
– If the Climate Change competitions receive big success, you can open more other type of knowledge wisdom competition.
– With big competition and length such as (20 years or 1 season 1 year), then you will give people a new way to receive money via knowledge, wisdom.
Thus people mindset now will be more freely and less worry about money.
Above are my suggestion my idea of how the COVID Pandemic event should be ended. It must be done in a smart way !
If you want to use my information my idea for public affair, then you must make minimum donation of 1 million USD/Euro to me.
If you want to know more information, you can contact me to talk debate more.
Best Regard,
The Savior

Just switched my major to english, what am I in for?
Realized that I'm not interested in business and I'll just fail my classes if I continue that route, so I'm going english, which I enjoy. I read a lot of smaller things like articles, poetry, and press releases. However I enjoy reporting and romance novels and other things. I'm not into retarded philosophy because its for incels and numales. I know english degrees suck for job prospects but I plan on moving to asia and being a teacher anyways and living extremely frugally in public housing. Thoughts?
So i'm a total newcomer to /lit/ and i want to to start reading by beginning with Crime and punishment by Dostoevsky because it's a strong recommendation by Jordan Peterson, i'm interested in psychology and philosophy but most importantly i want to read something at night that isn't harry potter.
Now my question is, is crime and punishment a good entry lever book for beginners?
As to my reading career, i really wasn't that big of a reader throughout my childhood as i spent most of my time on vidyu , i've only read the first two Hp books when i was like 12 and a few dutch books
.
My mom is Russian and she's a quite literary person who mostly read alot history books about the slavic culture and origin, she even used to write her poems a and also read me Germanic and Slavic tales before bedtime when i was a child.
Resisting the Trumpocaust
It's the 444th day of a Trump presidency. All day every day, members of the Trump Youth League in their khaki uniforms knock on doors, looking for illegal aliens. Armed with assault weapons and wearing red armbands emblazoned with a black "T" in a white circle, non-whites cower away in fear whenever they approach. After dark, roving bands of less official but even angrier white supremacists patrol the streets, enforcing the curfew for anyone who looks "un-American". People of color hide fearfully in their homes, their neighborhoods destroyed by white racist violence. Art deco-style statues of Donald Trump have been erected in every town square, with a live ticker screen beneath each one that reads off his tweets.
Everyone but Trump's rabid supporters fears "The Knock," when in the middle of the night people are taken from their homes and sent away to "#MakeAmericaGreatAgain Re-Education Camps", never to be heard from again.
Greek philosophy, where to start?
Hi. Does anybody has pics like this one, but for introduction to philosophy or a link to download these kinds of illustrations? I have also seen drawings with several possibilities depending on whether you have more or less appreciated a book/author. Thanks in advance, guys.
Anyone here writing a story?
I thought it could be easy to just write some crap on a couple hundred pages and make easy money, but holy shit its actually much harder than it looks.
Its been 3 momths, I rewritten my first chapter like 17 times already, and I still can't write something I would be proud seeing on a bookshelf.
Any writers feel the same way?
What is schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is defined at 19th century. But there was schizophrenia before. In each nation. At that time, nation tops have relation each other. At 19th the world become global. Schizophrenia is like Nietzsche.
統合失調症は１９世紀くらいに定義された。旧名、精神分裂病。ただその前も、あったのだろう。国の中に限られて。国のトップみたいなやつは、よその国同士で繋がりはあったと思うけど。１９世紀くらいで、グローバルになったからだろう。おそらくニーチェの感じのことをやらせるような
Can't remember the name of a book / author, help?
There is a book that I read when I was 13 (26 now)… I can't remember the name of it, but I do remember the basic plot. IIRC, seemingly everybody in the world save for a single class of college students vanished. One of the characters had a twin sister who she had an empathic link with, and she felt her sister just disapear. Meanwhile, even animals vanished, and the students begin vanishing unless they have someone to love - One of the main characters vanished suddenly as well. It ends with the class essentially splitting into two groups, the degenerates who just want to fuck all day, and the main characters who fuck off in a private plane to some other location, trying to meet up with people who contacted them via radio signal.
Really bad synopsis, but its all I can remember, save for one part where one of the main characters says he hates acid jazz because you can't dance to it.
Anyone happen to know what book I'm talking about? I know it was the first part in a series, but other than that, I can't remember. I'd like to try and read it again, just to see if the parts I didn't understand when I was a kid would make sense now.

/lit/ is MOVING!
Hey fellow readers,
We have officially moved onto our two bunkers: https://8chan.moe/lit/ and https://tvch.moe/lit/
Please do bookmark them and come join us if you want to have a good time!
Other useful links:
By the way, I've already discovered that finding decent telegram channels on how to enhance trade is far less difficult than I had anticipated. All that is required is for you to interpret the cryptocurrency signals https://safetrading.today/bots/cornix/ before advancing. I learnt a lot here, and I strongly advise everyone to familiarize themselves with it; your efforts will not be in useless. So, good luck, and I hope I've been of assistance.
I wrote a novel!
It's free to read on Kindle Unlimited, plus I posted an early draft of about 40% of it, so hopefully that satisfies your sense of ethics.
Plus, it's got a heavy anarcho-libertarian bent to it, which is probably more appreciated here than anywhere else on the Net.

Schizoanalyst
Treatment resistant schizophrenic here (trauma-induced, and not what Twitter calls "trauma"), with a 143 IQ (since for we've all lost our minds here & decided to start IQ-posting in a recent thread even though IQ is literally a nonsense metric) who is currently in a precarious housing situation w/ my family that has been abusive in the past, but my best friend is getting me up to his state to live with him and rebuild my life. I've been hospitalized 20+ times, countless meds, even got electroshock 16 times. I wrote a book of poetry about my mythologized history, and I got it accepted for publication. It comes out in July. I say all this to prove, maybe just to myself, that there is hope for me.
It is my goal to become a PhD. Clinical Psychologist (which I've had since before my illness, and every doctor & clinician I've had highly encouraged me to do so), and get postdoctoral training in Lacanian psychoanalysis. I am currently undergoing Lacanian psychoanalysis for an extremely reduced fee as part of a scholarship with a postdoctoral psychoanalytic school. (But right now I have never even completed a semester of university.) The analysis is, very slowly, transforming myself and my life.
Despite my capacities, I am unable to sleep or eat really. I take meds, minimally & as needed at the lowest dose, but I am finding it very difficult to literally just SLEEP or EAT because of my overactive mind. It's like I'm naturally high on methamphetamine.
Besides establishing a safe living situation in an apartment with my best friend, WHAT BOOKS can I read—fiction, non-fiction, or poetry—to guide me in my journey toward that second chance, the Gestalt??? Mainstream behavioral indoctrinating industrial complex, and family, has terribly failed me (and I sort of failed myself) — so /lit/ you truly are my only hope.
inferring content from ending?
lets say i am writing a fiction and i planned the ending ahead (cuz i believe it s good by research) but somehow now my content is now locked to the ending so it has to be within its "logical" realm
kinda like fight club, which has ending defined in the beginning of the movie and the rest follows…
so…how do i,say, " infer" the content
from that ending, moment to moment, character by character and so on,…. so that my story can follow the end cohesively into a logical story and maybe also satisfying?
are there sort of tools, formats, that has been used to solve this since time beginning cuz .. idk literature is old?

Castalia Library’s Build the Bindery Campaign
Any fans of Vox Day here? His Castalia Library leatherbound classics series is vertically integrating, gonna build its own bindery.
http://voxday.blogspot.com/2021/08/building-bindery.html
Supporters of the crowdfund can order copies of the first books set to be made on the new presses, Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, which will be specially branded Castalia Bindery. The Library quality books are set at $250 each.
https://arkhavencomics.com/product/the-iliad-library-edition/
https://arkhavencomics.com/product/the-odyssey-library-edition/
Better heeled classics aficionados and supporters of an alt-old tech reskilling can order the Libraria Castalia versions of each edition, in goatskin, for $1,000 apiece.
https://arkhavencomics.com/product/iliad-libraria-edition/
https://arkhavencomics.com/product/the-odyssey-libraria-edition/
The goal is to sell 500 copies of each book by the end of August to fund the Castalia Bindery. But there is no hard limit on the books until the campaign concludes August 31, so there are a few weeks to consider and save up before diving in.
Pic includes some of Castalia Library’s previous editions. The new bindery will allow an even higher standard for future volumes.
help resolve
i guess this is all mostly about "good feeling" but im trying to write a story and naturally somehow with the ending defined like the graph, i naturally expects anything before the "end"
to be canon and refers to the end of sorts, but i could quite find any logical idea about it means i cant evn choose a single fucking scene to write that will allow the end to be an acconplishment of sorts…
how do i deal with this?
i keep writing everyday but this thing remain unresolved like i will get somewhere and retcon things which feels troublesome
help i need a model to help connect these plot points to the ending so it feels good to do

Can anyone point me towards a magnet torrent link to a penguin graded readers mega collection? I live in Vietnam and its impossible to get hold of the original books here.
I'm an English teacher and my students live to immerse themselves into the classics.
Alternatively point me towards a board for downloading books.
I've tried to find the li k ở line,but I'm being swamped by fake links
Thanks so much in advance 🙏🏼
Selling taboo erotica?
Hey /lit/
I'm an erotica author who write a lot of taboo stuff, and as I've been seeing success in the erotica market in the past few months I'd like to consider branching out. The stuff I've been putting out there is pretty fringe but within Amazon guidelines; I know that some authors who write stuff like, say, incest, will post their stories to Smashwords, which is more forgiving of extreme content. As of right now it's not really a problem because my stuff is pretty in line with the two big retailershowever, in the past I've written more than a few stories involving underage characters, and I'm sure there's a market for this content somewhere. Nobody mainstream will accept and publish such works however, and when I search for information about the issue Google shames me with a big warninglike, Googling the phrase 'underage characters in erotic fiction' comes up with a big fat whining warning about depictions of child abuse being illegal, yes, of course, obviously. But this is FICTION.
Naturally in the process of this Googling I came across United States v. Fletcher, a 2007 court case where the defendant entered a guilty plea in a ridiculous obscenity charge brought against her for maintaining a website of fictional stories, text only, no pictures. The contents of the stories sound like they were very shocking (more shocking than my stuff, small consolation to me) but obviously that's no excuse for the charges brought against her. She was an old lady at the time, too, which makes it very sad and absurd. It sounds like this prosecutor wanted to make an example and from what I can see it worked because everywhere I look in fiction communities everywhere if you even have the audacity to write about a character who's, I don't know, seventeen having a sexual experience that's depicted as erotic, you'll be banned on site and your work thrown off whatever website you put it on. Never mind that if you write the same scene at a 7th grade reading level and call it YA an agent will snap it up in a heartbeat. Never mind that de Sade's Justine was twelve at the start of the novel and so was Dolores Haze. Never mind THAT IT'S FICTION. FICTION FICTION FICTION. It makes me want to scream.
Is there ANYWHERE I can publish, sell, advertise, whatever, erotic fiction or transgressive fiction with erotic overtones that includes an even slightly underage character? I'm honestly quite shocked that it's such a big deal. I mean, holy shit! My guro consensual cannibalism erotica is making me wonderful money and I'm so happy–is that really more acceptable than a story about a seventeen-year-old girl assuming control of her sexuality? I'm just baffled. Help me out here /lit/. More and more it sounds like the only answer is to stick my neck out and sell it on my own website somehow but if there's an option that will help me acquire more readers it would obviously be preferable. One must go where the readers are, etc.

Weird early 20th late 19th century fiction
I'm interested in reading odd non-Tolkien fantasy, which is preferably from early 20th, late 19th century sources, what can you guys recommend?
Thus farm I have been reading a decent amount of Lovecraft, and Conan The Barbarian. I just started getting into reading for pleasure I like Lovecrafts narration and general writing style, but I do not like the slowness of the story. My favorite one so far is The Shadow over Innsmouth, since the fish frog men lore was cool, the bit of action, and the twist at the end. When it comes to Conan I like the ease of reading. It so fluid that you automatically keep reading, even if you are not really enjoying it, due to Conan being a boring character. My favorite story is The Tower of the Elephant, since it has black magic, an interesting story, and a fast pace. I just finished Testaments of Athammaus by Clark Ashton Smith, and found it to be weak, but I will give CAS a couple more tries.
Looking for a franchise
Hej anons. I am looking for a dnd type setting in a book. It's kinda hard to describe. Like people travelling to unknown worlds and unknown planets, discovering older than ancient ruins that they have no idea the origins of, ancient lores and similar stuff. If you know about the pathfinder lores you'd know. A lot of ancient mystery, old ruins, descent into unknown and lost civilisations and that kinda thing. Thank you.
Post your story and I'll explain to you why it sucks
Here's how it's going to work;
-You post your story under 3000 words. I recommend that it's an introduction to your story, or a short story. Of course, you can post endings or middle chapters if you want, but you'd be a massive idiot.
-If you use google docs I'm not reading it
-If it's over 3000 words i'm not reading it.
-If you didn't upload to google docs and its under 3000 words I'll read your story.
-If you have shitty grammar and spelling, a terrible prose, or you write your sentences like
"Madamn's chagaron soul window fevered insibiously into the untransited elevate sunset as the moservier sagrated chivalriously in such-"
I'm going to call you out on it and stop reading
-If your story makes it past the previous checkpoints I'll finally give my opinion on what you actually want to hear
(Is the setting interesting?
Are the characters interesting?
Do I want to keep turning the page to read more?
Is your pacing good or bad?
Would I pay for this?)
Come on anon, I know your inner voice is killing your self confidence as a writer and you're secretly begging for validation. You know you want it. Post it.
Nonfiction Request Thread
I am going on a quest to stop being a retard. I've always scored fairly high on IQ tests, but when it comes to actual knowledge I'm pitifully uneducated and I want that to stop. I've amassed a fairly large library so far, and I've sworn off fiction reading until I've finished it all, but I need your help. Textbooks, political science, handbooks, anything you can offer.
Please /lit/ help me help myself
Self publishing this bitch

Pinecone 00000
Pinecone Issue 00000:
NotPynchon & He Rapes His Sister Phoebe compiled as interviews.
>What is this?
Pinecone Magazine is the /lit/ magazine that publishes when there is actual content worth anyone's time.
>How can I submit?
There are two ways to submit. AtticusPinecone@gmail or you can use the submissions form on the website.
>What's accepted?
Solid gold unpublished poetry, prose, erotica, letters, literary analysis, anything intelligent or funny. You won't be reading any shit, don't worry. If only 2 things worth reading is submitted, 2 things will be in the issue.
>Is this the first literary journal from /lit/?
There was The April Reader & there is Ideology. But this is already head & shoulders above them.
>These things always fail.
Have a look first. For what it's worth, this first issue is good & it's nice looking. That might be b/c there is no poetry/prose & b/c I have actual magazine experience. 00000 is just NotPynchon & The Catch Her analysis, and both are very interesting.
Here it is:
Hello, /lit/. I just wanted to let you know about https://kind.moe/kind/index.html . I'd appreciate it if you'd take the time to drop in and say hello. It's not really devoted to the discussion of topics pertaining to this board, but I think kindness is or should be a virtue valued by all, irrespective of our differences!
Is there a way to learn how to write? Like techniques and stuff? Similar to how artists have Loomis and other books to study drawing. Is there a book or something to study how to write without sounding boring?
All my shit is just sounds fucked when I read it back. Like pacing feels off. I'm not doing anything wrong, grammatically, but I feel like I'm stuck drawing inside the lines, when it comes to sentence structure.
Fiction recommendations?
I don't care what genre as long as it is good or likable in some way.
Examples of what I enjoyed: Harry Potter, Kite Runner, A Separate Peace, Little Prince, Catcher in the Rye, Song of Lioness/Tamora Pierce, The Outsiders, To Kill a Mockingbird, Lord of Flies
Examples of meh: Hunger Games, Narnia, My Sister's Keeper, Alice in Wonderland, Clique series, Uglies/Pretties/Specials
Examples of what I hated: The Magician, Alchemist, Lord of Rings, Jane Austin, Great Gatsby
Apocalyptic sci-fi.
I'm a moron who is trying to read more because my memory is garbage, and apparently reading can possibly help it. Are there any apocalyptic event books set in deep space, in the far future? I can find apocalyptic books, I can find deep space books, and I can find distant future books, but not one that combines all three.
Not Yet Titled Scifi
I've been writing a scifi story on my offtime, and I'd take any form of feedback.
Current Word Count: 32,018
Status: Draft (about 3 parts done out of 5)
I marked [R] for chapters I plan on majorly revising, and [W] for part/chapters that aren't done yet.

Advice
i m a 19 year old boy. i have read dostoevsky, Jack London, Maupassant and bunch of other good writers. I have a fairly good taste in music ( at least I think so). I am a NEET. I really want to be a singer and a writer. I,m broke, I can,t find a job, I don,t even have a penny. I can,t even tell my parents what I want because I,m afraid they won,t understand. Plus I,m super introverted, i don,t like seeing or meeting people. I don,t know what to do. Give me some advice for gods sake so, I won,t kill myself. I don,t wanna die!!!
How would I go write an alternate history novel about ethnic Europeans living under fascism, specifically under a victorious Imperial Japan in former Australia?
I've already got a vague idea of some of it, just wondering what lit could contribute.
> Europeans live at the bottom of the racial hierarchy "lower than chankoro"
> Europeans live inside ghettos, ramshackle and overcrowded. If they go outside the ghettos they are expected to be deferential to the Japanese colonisers and their second-class Korean and Japanese subjects. There are frequent lynchings of Europeans from Eucalyptus trees which the Japanese regularly ignore, alongside pogroms.
> Patrols of IJA often kidnap and whisk away European women who are never seen again or otherwise return brutalised and traumatised.
>The Japanese Empire is locked in a Cold War with the Third Reich which is about to go hot. The war will become a WWI style stalemate.
> Third Reich affiliated rebels constantly try to overthrow Japanese rule on the continent, only to be defeated and experimented on by unit 731. The only meaningful resistance is a couple of disparate communist cells which bide their time.
> The Japanese constantly bait their Chinese and Korean and other Asiatic subjects against the Europeans to keep them divided. The Chinese and Koreans don't have it much better than the Europeans, considered inferior to the Japanese.
> Karl Marx's memory and legacy is demonized as an evil white subversive who wishes to overthrow rightful Yamato supremacy over inferior Europeans. "Cultural Marxism" is a Japanese conspiracy theory about Europeans trying to corrupt "beautiful Asiatic souls" into joining with Europeans against "wise Japanese stewardship" . IJA propaganda constantly harps on about how "White Marxists" want "Yamato Genocide".
> Our protagonist, An "honorary Yamato" university student of indeterminate race who lives near the ghetto becomes fascinated with the white commies.
8/lit/ lives again
What you've been reading while 8chan was down?
I managed to finish some books from warhammer's time of legend series, all of the Nagash and vampire related ones. Had a lot of fun with that. Stuck on elves though, because they are kind of vomit inducing at times, but I'll eventually manage whole thing.
Is Literature Dead?
https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2018/08/27/is-literature-dead/
>I knew I wanted to be a writer, had begun to read with an eye toward how a book or story was built, and if this was what it took, this overriding sense of consciousness, then I would never be smart enough.
>Now, I recognize this as one of the fallacies of teaching literature in the classroom, the need to seek a reckoning with everything, to imagine a framework, a rubric, in which each little piece makes sense. Literature—at least the literature to which I respond—doesn’t work that way; it is conscious, yes, but with room for serendipity, a delicate balance between craft and art.
>That kind of writing, though, is difficult to teach, leaving us with scansion, annotation, all that sound and fury, a buzz of explication that obscures the elusive heartbeat of a book.
Gore Vidal would now butt in to congratulate English professors for a job well done. Anyway, I won't reproduce the whole essay here. Go have a look for yourself.
Is Literature close to an end?
We live comfy thanks to technology, which grows more and more, covers wider and wider patches of our life with each year that passes by; and obviously, people's way of seeing life changes with this cybernetic development.
Considering that in no time we will be entering into the robotic era already, what's your opinion about Literature's future? Do you see a bright future ahead for it? Are books going to die? Will Literature cease to exist at some point?

Words that annoy you
Irruption. Like I get it, by definition it's a gradient of eruption, but every time I read it I can't help but think "eruption" and why didn't they use "eruption" here and then I think about volcanoes and lose track of what I was reading in the first place.
your turn
What do you think about this opening paragraph?
The night sky loomed oppressively over the city, blanketing it in darkness. Each star an eye watching all beneath it. There was no moon tonight, it was too scared to show its face to the cold and merciless night. Few lights not destroyed shoned damply letting small parts of the city be colored a mute yellow. Electricity was too costly for it to be shined any brighter. The air was not but dust and iron filling the lungs of the weak and sickly. The man wore a grey nylon poncho with a heavy air filter. His face covered by his hood. He took soft even steps walking through the city. His presence was left for brief fleeting moments throughout each street he crossed. He moved from building to building and street to street. Each street flowing to the next endlessly and each dark grey building no different from the last. After 16 blocks of walking he felt close to his prey. Only given a brief description and a name this was enough for the man to find his target. He was getting warmer and warmer with each step, creeping closer to the inevitable. Gunshots sing in the distance, the first movement of the night’s orchestra. Stopping briefly at a crossroads the man sees a pack of children half-naked carrying shanks, chains, and pipes. The man was staring at what would likely be the last generation of humans on this planet. They stared back meeting his cold sharp gaze with an equally cold sharp gaze. Orphan's all of them grew up on the streets. They knew not how to read or write, they couldn’t do math in their head or on paper, and they couldn’t tell you the history or future of the world. The language of violence is all the streets taught them and the language of violence is a zero sum game. You either take what you want and kill your enemies or you get taken from and die. The boys started to take steps closer to the man. He flashed his piece on his waist a hunk of cold iron and hot lead. The six shooter, a rare luxury that few possessed, caught the boys eyes and they scurried off into the alleys to look for weaker bodies. The man continued on slowly and methodically to his mark.

Yesterday I cut a peach in half and it looked kinda like a vagina.
I licked it out from the inside until it was nothing but skin,
at the end she moaned and said
"This wasn't worth it"
I came in her corpse, and as peach juice burned the head of my errection, I had the same thought.
My eyes closed. and so did my heart.
They were both useless in this new world.

This is chapter 1 in my work in progress novel about fucking fruit, staring into walls like they were horizons, and being constantly lost and errect because your hormones are all fucked up. What do you think ?
Richmal Crompton's William
Many of the stories in this series can make me laugh out loud. There are 39 books, and so far I've found 20 of them online. However, many of these are modern editions which have terrible covers, and I think they may have messed about with the text.
So I'd like to find more, or possibly work with others to make a complete set of the originals.
Here is a link to the first book which is Project Gutenberg:
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. IMO one of the best books ever written and certainly the best living American author. If you can, listen to the audiobook narrated by Richard Poe. It is a life changing experience, especially when you are attempting to be an author yourself. You will never write the same again after listening to it. If you don't understand what VOICE is in writing, listening to Richard Poe recite the book will teach you.

I'm writing a short novel. Let me show ya a little passage so you guys can get interested.
John's face was always gloomy. When someone asked him a question, he would answer monosyllabically or pretend to be deaf. He'd never look into one's eyes, and his sweaty, limp hand felt like a sponge when he had to extend it to greet a new co-worker. His life was divided between his home and the office. He spent the weekends sitting on the old couch in front of the television, reading the late newspapers and drinking beer.
No one liked John except Martha, who thought he was a true gentleman. Finally, one day, he ended up inviting her to dinner. Marta blushed when she received the invitation, her heart pounding as she couldn't help but let out a shy smile from her lips. She swallowed and agreed day and time.
…
Two hours before the meeting, Marta took a long bath with scented salts and applied a hydrating mask on her face. She brushed her hair for a long time, but in the end decided to make a relaxed bun. She painted her eyes, stretched her lashes and intensified her lips with red lipstick, dressing in a tight skirt and a slightly transparent silk blouse that she had saved for a special occasion.
Inside the cab, on the way to the restaurant, Marta tried to straighten a strand of hair that kept peeling off her bun, running her fingers across the skirt whilst looking intermittently at her makeup mirror as to touch up the lipstick.
Suddenly, a block to the restaurant, a thought crossed her mind. What if John had only invited her to talk about work issues? As she got out of the cab, Marta used a shop window as a makeshift mirror only to ponder whether her skirt was too tight, or her shirt too transparent.
Literature Ranking Thread
Do any of you have a way of ranking literature?
That is, do consider certain genres and styles of writing better than others?
Pic related is what I'd consider my ranking system, although it's very rough and still a work in progress. Feel free to edit it in ways you think are better and share your own personal rankings when you approach literature of any kind.
Speculative Political Fiction
is there anything, left/right/authoritarian/libertarian/dystopian/utopian out there I can read? I read 1984 as a kid and wasn't a big fan, and we all know Brave New World, but what else is out there.
also, no Tom Clancy shit, I want something dark at least, a series would be nice
1st Reading Club thread
Book clubs never work!
Why this is going to work
I'm seen book clubs started on different boards and they always fail, which is why I created a reading club instead. No one wants to read a whole book of questionable interest every week, and no one can blame anons for not wanting to. My solution for this is to focus on short stories and novellas, so that plenty of anons have the time and will to finish.
You need more material to talk about than that
Thats a valid point and will be taken into consideration. If it proves to be true my plan is to include multiple shorts by the same author, so that we can discus him as well. This will allow anons who don't want to read a whole novel to participate, while still allowing a depth of conversation.
==The White People== =
by Arthur Mache
E. F. Bleiler wrote that the narrative in the Green Book "is probably the finest single supernatural story of the century, perhaps in the literature", and Michael Dirda has stated: "If I were to list the greatest supernatural short stories of all time, I would start with Arthur Machen’s 'The White People,' about a young girl’s unknowing initiation into an ancient, otherworldly cult." S. T. Joshi has called the diary "a masterpiece of indirection, a Lovecraft plot told by James Joyce", and H. P. Lovecraft himself wrote that "Machen's narrative, a triumph of skilful selectiveness and restraint, accumulates enormous power as it flows on in a stream of innocent childish prattle". I copied this off of Wikipedia, since I don't want to give away to much. I'm going to read it again before I write what I think.

Recommend some good apathetic /lit/?
Something good so that if my eyes gloss over the words I'll get it. It's become my sole mode of reading now. I find I like urban apathetic; I'm open to other apathies, too.
English or German. I've already read Naked Lunch, American Psycho, and a handful of Bukowski. and I want to diversify to other authors before reading more of Bukowski et al.'s works.
Race Realism/biological determinsm Books
I'm currently reading "The Blank Slate: A Modern Denial of Human Nature" from Steven Pinker.
It was published on 2002, so is it still worth reading today? Is it scientifically dated? Any better book on human genetic/biological determinsm of human nature, race realism etc?
Strindberg
Life is Hell for most, Purgatory for some, Heaven for none.
This man's works are great. They thoroughly go over the bleaker aspects of our existence. Anyone heard of him? Thoughts?

Do I have right ?
if people were deprived of individuality and ambition, the world could become a better place. There could be a world government that he
would provideto the world of stability. People would be happy without ever wanting something they could not get. Having a similar worldview and mentality, ride
the same cars, living in the same homes or apartments, having the same entertainment, living in a state of blissful ignorance about
passions and strong emotions could be so conditioned that they would practically be unable to act otherwise than they should.
When reading the book "Brave New World ", I always wonder: what exactly is wrong with the world described there? Wars, hunger and diseases have stopped.
Social hierarchy still exists, but those at the bottom are genetically designed so that they do not bother them, they even enjoy what they are. Blessed soma
it is enough for everyone, there is a joyful consumption and freedom of manners. Few visionaries get deported, but so what? New ideas, books or inventions
they would only destroy the previous harmony built with such difficulty. It does not sound like an dystopia, rather the opposite of dystopia.
If our goal is universal happiness and security, the individual's freedom seems to be a temporary, unsuccessful experiment that is an obstacle to his reached.
lazy fatass fuck
Hello everyone, I am a lazy fatass fuck. It takes me 7 fucking years to write a penny-dreadful, film-script based "novel". And it doesn't matter that it's my full time fucking job, literally the only thing I'm required to do, or that I jack off at 67 years of age by taking bum fuck vacations all over the world to live off the prestige of my now stagnate series that I can't fucking finish, that I'm constantly giving interviews and bullshit for the industry, and that I'm writing OTHER books that literally no one gives a fuck about. That's right, I'm not writing for the series that is the sole reason for all my fame and which everyone wants, no, I write other books that are truly shit and no one gives a fuck about. And when those that gave me all this money call me out on this shit, the best I can do is twiddle my fat fingers, flip them off and then whine on my blog about how ashamed I am of being a lazy fatass fuck. Oh, did I mention that I waste time playing videogames? I have all this responsibility, I'm 67 fucking years old and I waste time playing videogames, because that's really going to get the job done and get all these people off my back. Did I mention I'm a lazy fatass fuck?
Father Figure in literature
Is it fruitful to look for a father figure in literature? May be a fictional character or even the author himself? Recently i feel like i've lost the sense of purpose and i can't turn to my dad because he's just like the father from 'Rebel without a cause' - he lost his job, stays at home and slaves (not helps) for my mother. I grew up while he worked across the state, hence i never had the slightest of paternal care or guidance.
Where do i look to for some kind of a direction? Help me out brothers.
world domination
anyone know any good books/novels about world domination or something of the like. Something that wouldn't be afraid to be at least slightly bombastic/sexualized or have other slightly childish qualities?
to be honest, any books or novels which have the mc or mc's go for world domination as a goal without much regard for good or bad morals and wouldn't be complete pain to read. i suppose something like GoT, better or worse, just want something with a similar topic.
thanks in advance /lit

This is the most overrated book i have ever read
House of Leaves was a book i remembered hearing about a lot from Silent Hill fans back in the early 2000's. They described it as the ultimate note taking mystery. A puzzle you needed to deep dive into and spend years unravelling. I always meant to get around to it but only recently did and boy was this an oversold product.
The 'puzzle' is that its a book about a guy finding a dead mans unpublished novel about a movie that doesnt exist and the junkie burnouts notes as he tries to put it together. Somehow this drives him insane though i think the point was meant to be that like his mother he was suffering an illness already.
The big let down however wasnt the story which was a fine enough piece of meta fiction but the sheer childish nature of the 'hardest book you will ever read' i was sold on. Sometimes you have to read a page in a mirror. Or turn it upside down. Sometimes the amount of text on a page gets smaller and smaller as the formatting squeezes it into a smaller box of broken words to convey the feeling of the characters in a shrinking hallway. Yeah i get the symbolism here. That doesnt make it a puzzle though.
I finished it in about 4 days of casual reading and left it with a resounding 'okay, that was it' but i see hipsters gushing about it on youtube who seem like they desperately want to be 'part of the smart kids club' about this and i feel like its a case of it since many say they took over 8 years to read it.
I feel like it was probably a lot more amazing at the time it came out with all the experiments in media at the time but compared to a game like Silent Hill 2 or a multimedia project like This House has People in it the whole thing came off as outdated and bland.
Am i crazy or is this just some hipster badge of honour shit at this point?
Wanting to explore Kierkegaard
Memes aside, anything in his books that make observations on the current situation applicable? Early or later works? Need something that might ease me into his writings. I think I only I have one book and an essay. So /lit/erati, point me in the correct direction…
Did literature studies may improve my writing?
I've been reading intensively for almost three years and during the last months I've taken advantage of being unemployed for writing some poems and short stories. In September I plan to follow literature courses at the unit next to my apartment, but I already feel tired of start off again the study routine (stressful exams, irritating classmates, boring professors) although the content of most of the courses really interesting me. The diploma itself has no significant value for me since I already have an engineer's degree, all I want is to perfect my writing in order to get published some day.
What would you do /lit?
Artemis Fowl
>book 1
>pretty interesting anti-hero book, some nice lore building and entertaining story
>book 2
>not too bad, but the muh father shit was really annoying at times, though I appreciate wrapping up that plotline as quickly as possible instead of dragging it out over several books, also Opal Koboi is kind of entertaining as a villainess
>book 3
>probably the best of the bunch, even if Butler aging by around a decade to save his life was completely pointless and does not affect his character whatsoever in the future books
>book 4
>kills off one of the best characters in the series, Opal Koboi is back again, and is probably the last entertaining book in the series that does not go full retard
>book 5
>goes full retard with demon shit, also more unnecessary aging of characters towards the end, and some really dumb antagonists
>book 6
>possibly even more retarded than book 5, antagonists are full-on strawmen so Eoin Colfer can spend half the book forcing his hippie environmentalist leanings on you, also it has a 14-15 year-old boy make out with a 100 year-old elven dyke just in case you didn't get that the author was basically writing fanfiction at this point
>book 7
>continues the series' progression towards full retard storytelling, villain is a whiny tool, the only saving grace were the occasional moments of Artemis having a split-personality as a wannabe Don Quixote/Casanova fusion and hitting on Holly which still doesn't negate the general stupidity
>book 8
>I don't even know what the fuck was happening here, it seems like the author just threw all logic out the window and made up shit as he went along, this shit is worse than Deathly Hallows, which is fucking saying something
What happened? It started off so good, and then took a sudden nosedive, kinda like Harry Potter did with Order of the Phoenix. Except with HP, the reasons are kinda obvious, with AF, not so much.
ITT: Books about sex, paraphilias and fetishes
I've always been interested in understanding why some people are attracted to things like pain, particular parts of the body (feet, hands, armpits and so on), being dominated etc.
However I only know three authors that could help me understand paraphilia: Frued, De Sade and Bataille.
I haven't read any of their books yet.
Are there other authors who talk about sex and paraphilia?
What are the best books about these topics? Where should I start?
Post the best writing you've ever read.
But at the same time I seemed to hear more than a teacher's switch as it came down upon a pupil's body. Sounds more serious and more strange intruded upon the hush of the classroom. They were faraway sounds lost in the hissing of rainy afternoon: great blades sweeping over great distances, expansive wings cutting through cold winds, long whips lashing in darkness. I heard other sounds, too, other things that were stinging the air in other places, sounds of things I heard but never give explanation. These sounds grew increasingly louder. Finally, Miss Plarr dropped her pointer and put her hands over her ears.

Did philosophy essential to fiction?
Did a relevant philosophical background is necessary to consider a fiction as a good piece of literature?
Russian author's example for affirmative answer: Dostoevsky, his novels are full of existentialism interrogations judiciously incarnated by his characters.
Another Russian author's example for negative answer: Nabokov, his novels have an excellent style of prose and many appealing themes, but they are not particularly challenging on a philosophical level.
On the French side, it's kind of the same thing that differenciates Sarte from Celine, for example.
So, what's your opinion on that question?
Which books of Agatha Christie that do not belong to any particular series, would you consider a detective story? I am asking because after finishing Poirot and Miss Marple series I moved on to "independent" books and I already disliked the first two books (chronologically), The Man in the Brown Suit and The Secret of Chimneys (although the latter was decidedly better).
I would consider those two as more of an adventure/light thriller stories. They are way too "action"-packed and I don't believe that these books are Christie's forte.
Are any of the books outside of any particular series a detective story instead of thriller? By "detective story" I mean a story like the books from Poirot or Miss Marple series.
Hello /lit/.
I am not a very well read man, i've barely read a couple of books; so you could say I'm very ignorant. I'm smart in that I can pick up on things easily but that's about it.
I'm 20something and I feel "insufficient" in the intellectual department. I know I should have read stuff like Plato, kant, Smith, heidegger and shit like that by now, but the problem is that I don't know where to begin.
How do I gain the philosophical foundation and 20th-21st century knowledge I need to be an above-average wise man who has a better understanding of the world around him? Which books and in what order should I read them? How can I stick to a reading plan that doesn't disrupt vydia+work time too much and is considered consistent and effective?
Which magazines or sites you read to stay up to date with geopolitics in a way beyond basic bitch pundit opinions? what should I read to understand Oil markets and gay jewish banker witchcraft?
Don't recomend me any fiction gay stuff, I'm not interested in reading some fantasy about the world through the eyes of some bleeding heart drunkard, I want more real stuff so that I can debate politics and philosophy like a real sexual tyrannosaurus. I'm currently reading crime and punishment but I find the descriptions of flowers on wallpaper and strange textile elements to be droll.
I've been memed into reading the following at some point in my life:
>The Ego and Its own
>Mein Kampf
>Harry potter 1,2 &3
>A bunch of Short Stories by Borges
>Promethus Rising
Other than that and a couple of mangas and Comics, that's pretty much it, as you can see i'm in a terrible position.
Thanks for your help.

"A /lit/ board without a writing thread is worse than useless."
Aspirant authors, tell me of your work.
Feel free to post excerpts or general ideas and don't hesitate to critique someone (especially if you want a critique of your own work in return).
To start it off, here's my post about what I'm working on from the previous thread: >>12848
Where to go to get feedback and improve?
Where do you go to get feedback on your writing? I'd rather not post my shit on 8ch or Wizardchan but they're the only places outside of Reddit I know with writing communities who aren't pozzed to shit.
I'd like to do self published short stories and I'm willing to put the work in to improve. I just don't know how to get there yet.
Where should I be looking?
Stephen King
Is he a hack? I've heard people say he steals ideas and overwrites. Plus he acts like a virtue signalling faggot on twitter.
How does his literature compare to others? Do they hold up on their own or is his writing an extension of post-modernism, hence it's (((popularity)))?
Disgusting
My dear anons… How about the book that you just couldn't possibly finish reading, not because it was bad per se, but due to sheer disgust. I want malevolent, disturbing, truly unruly books. If it shook you, share it
PS: on another irrelevant but still interesting genre, what was the realest book you read? Something like Bukowski or John Fante, some authors that exposed their guts without embelishing their opinions.
Byzantine Literature
I've been reading a lot of Chretien de Troyes lately, and decided to check out what literature was like on the other side of medieval Christendom, namely the Byzantine Empire. What do you guys recommend? Something from around the same time as de Troyes would be nice, but honestly I'll read anything.
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 just got an idea to overcome writing block, especially for the times when you got a vision or a detailed plan but don't know how to put it to paper because you just cannot find a good start. I've never heard this idea before but I cannot imagine I'm the first one to come up with something like that, but anyway, here I go:
>Write down scenes in your head in a somewhat chronological order
>Number them
>Throw a dice or use a random number generator to determine what scene to write
>Repeat until a good part of the novel is standing, then fill in the blanks
It's simple, it might turn out to be a shitty idea, but I'll give it a try. I'll let you know how it goes.
Assigned school reading
What are some books that you were assigned to read that you actually enjoyed? What are your "classics"?
I want to read more books that are more generally well known. Some of the titles I was assigned have been:
Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Frankenstein, The Great Gatsby, Lord of the Flies, The House on Mango Street
H.P. Lovecraft
What's a good entry point if I want to start reading some Lovecraft?
Should I just grab the Necronomicon and/or Eldritch Tales, read some random short stories and skip to the next if they don't catch my interest?
I'd rather read something lengthier like a novel but from what I understand even they are at most ~150 pages. Which is fine I guess, but I still don't know where to start.
I'm only vaguely familiar with his work but I think I'd prefer to read the ones in a more overt 'mystical' setting
I was talking with a guy that gave me a bunch of suggestions but he also said that it wouldn't hurt if I'd ask for some other people opinions as well (and here I am) since he had read far from all of it.
>Some random suggestions that I wrote down
Dagon
The Horror at red dread hook
The Dunwich Horror
The doom that came to saranoth
The case of charles dexter ward
At the mountains of madness
The shadow out of time
The haunter of the dark
The thing at the doorstep
The shadow over innsmoth
Best tools/programs to use with writing?
I'm talking all kinds of tools - from just writing to proofreading and organization.
I hear good things about grammary but haven't tried it yet.
Also, a program called Campfire that helps with writing books/novels, since it has maps, timelines, characters, encyclopedia, character arc and such to help keep things neat, organized and visualized. The installer is 200MB, kinda big for a program that just organizes text and images.
So yes, I'm writing a novel and am looking for anything that can help improve the process.
Post about stuff that pisses you off
I can't stop my autist rage. Whenever I mention reading books to people they inevitably start talking about how they used to read a lot but don't read a lot nowadays. I don't fucking care, pick up some Chekhov. Or don't, just leave me alone and stop trying to #relate to everything I do.
My dog died. I'm spiraling in existential crisis that our mind is tied to our brain's death. I need texts for a confirmation bias of continuing on conciousness to help me cope. Something that will confirm there is more to existence after death. I'm looking for babby tier books to understand dualism, or anything transcendental. Something with intelligence. No 'The 'Alchemist' bullshit. Is dualism philosophy? Many of the terms, I dont understand. Any other analytical subjects that will help my heart ache is welcome as well. Thanks /lit/.
I loved that dog more than anything. She was 2 years old.
what are some books that you REALLY want to read but can't find anywhere due to any reason whatsoever?
For me it's Milkbottle H by Gil Orlovitz
>American publishers weren’t interested in Orlovitz’s work, as either poet or novelist. Despite decades of productivity as a poet no major U.S. house had published any of his work. It’s no surprise that Milkbottle H was rejected wholesale in the U.S. after years of circulating among publishers
>Defining ‘Hard’ SF is a bit difficult. If we use the Millerian definition (scientific or technical accuracy and detail), it won’t hold water. The reason is not all sciences are equal in SF. In my experience, fictional works that focus on physics, astronomy, mathematics, engineering and (to a lesser extent) chemistry tend to be filed as ‘Hard,’ especially if there is an exploratory or militaristic aspect. The further the extrapolation of the science from what is known, the more likely the story will be classed as ‘soft.’ On the other hand, those that Jeff VanderMeer jokingly refers to as ‘squishy’ sciences like botany, mycology, zoology, etc. tend to be classed as soft SF along with the social sciences like anthropology, psychology, etc. Medicine can fall either way, depending on the actual narrative.
>That the definitions are problematic becomes obvious immediately. I find the terms intellectually uninteresting because they assume that social sciences use less rigor, which I know to be untrue. My background is in medicine and anthropology, and I have seen both sides.
>There may be other elements to the definitions. There may be a pejorative flavor to being designated ‘soft’. There may be some gender bias, although I have seen this in discussions, and not in print. Take a lot of the work of Ursula Le Guin. Many would not class her SF as ‘Hard’ despite her clear understanding of anthropology and psychology. The exploration of cultures should not take a back seat to the exploration of the solar system. Take Frankenstein, which is often regarded as the first science fiction novel. Few would regard it as Hard SF, yet it used contemporary scientific beliefs. At the time the novel was set, galvanism was a big thing. Reanimation was not thought to be impossible. The Royal Humane Society in England started with reanimation of the dead at its core, and its motto is a small spark may perhaps lie hid.
>At the root of the Hard-Soft divide is a kind of “I scienced more than you” attitude, which is unnecessary. There are fans of all flavours of SF and the last thing we need is to focus on divisions that were introduced in the late 1950s.
Do you agree with these sentiments? Curious to know what /lit/ thinks about this debate
Poems
Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.
There you can be sure
you are not beyond love.
The dark will be your womb
tonight.
The night will give you a horizon
further than you can see.
You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in
Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.
– “Sweet Darkness” by David Whyte
As soon as the art of the upper classes became separated from the art of the whole people, there arose the conviction that art can be art and yet be incomprehensible to the masses. As soon as this thesis was allowed, it inevitably became necessary to allow that art may be comprehensible only to a small number of the elect, and, finally, only for two, or one – a best friend, one’s own self. This is what modern artists say straight out: ‘I create and I understand myself; if others do not understand me, so much the worse for them.’
The assertion that art can be good art and yet be incomprehensible to a large number of people is so wrong, its consequences are so pernicious for art, and it is at the same time so widespread, so embedded in our notions, that no explanation of its utter incongruity can suffice.
Nothing is more common than to hear said of alleged works of art that they are very good but very difficult to understand. We are used to the assertion, and yet to say that a work of art is good but incomprehensible is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but people cannot eat it. People may not like rotten cheese, putrid grouse and other such dishes appreciated by gastronomes with perverted taste, but bread and fruit are only good when people like them. It is the same with art: perverted art may be incomprehensible to people, but good art is always understood by everyone.
It is said that the best works of art are such that they cannot be understood by the majority and are accessible only to the elect, who are prepared to understand these great works. But if the majority do not understand, they must be given an explanation, the knowledge necessary for understanding. But it turns out that this knowledge does not exist, that the works cannot be explained, and therefore those who say that the majority do not understand good works of art give no explanations, but say that in order to understand one must read, look at, or listen to the same work over and over again. But this is not to explain, it is to make accustomed. And one can get accustomed to anything, even the worst. As it is possible to get people accustomed to rotten food, vodka, tobacco, opium, so it is possible to get them accustomed to bad art, which in fact is being done.
Besides, it cannot be said that the majority of people lack the taste to appreciate the highest works of art. The majority understand and have always understood what we, too, consider the highest art: the artistically simple narratives of the Bible, the Gospel parables, folk legends, fairy tales, folk songs are understood by everyone. Why is it that the majority suddenly lost the ability to understand the highest of our art?

No, really. Why is this book?
Reading multiple books
I was wondering if this is something common people do or if you prefer reading one book at a time.
I usually just read one at a time and move on to the next or take a break from reading, but at the moment I want to try and clear my backlog of books I have but reading one at a time is not really working out for me and was wondering how people manage multiple books at a time.
Panait Istrati books
Does anyone have free sources for this guy's books (can be in French)?
Say, Kyra Kyralina (aka Chira Chiralina), Uncle Anghel, etc. others in the Adrien Zogaffi series of books

Maybe also the essay 'the man who adheres to nothing' and other non-literary writings

For example, you can use the free e-book management utility, calibre, to convert .docx to epub/mobi, or you could use Writer2ePub, ePub Tools–a Word add-in, or pandoc (cross platform).
Holy shit, this works much better than the standard process with k2opt. Just open the pdf in word, save as docx and then use calibre to convert it to epub or azw3. You can then also edit the table of contents in calibre.
Classical Liberal / Libertarian / Austrian Reading Group
Hello everybody. We have a book club on Discord, where we'll be reading old and new works relevant to economics and politics, mostly from a libertarian or classical liberal point of view, although we also discuss leftist and fascist works or other classics.
The first two books we'll be reading are John Lockes Second Treatise of Government and Adam Smiths Wealth of Nations, first book. After that, we go on with Bastiat, Ricardo, Ayn Rand, Karl Marx, Rothbard, Eugen Richter, Sumner, Mises and Hayek. That isn't set in stone though, so feel free to propose other works.
No one has to read a particular work or participate in discussion, but we got a few members already, some new ones and some fairly experienced, so we can get discussions started.
Here's the link to discord: https://discord.gg/4MP7WA
If it expires, just let me know, I'll post another one then.
United States History
Could somebody give me the names of some decent US history books that begin in the pre-columbian era to around today? I will also appreciate book title's only about Bacon's rebellion, disease, medicine, or a collection of primary sources about anything previously mentioned. Thank you.
Ever read a book in which ...
Hey /lit/
You ever read a book in which the story is told about a number of independent characters undergoing different challenges interwoven – a chapter on this person, a chapter on that – but as the book draws to a close, it turns out they're all the same person maybe in different times of their life or different perspectives of them?
Did you read something like this?
Can you name it?
Did it suck?
What sucked about it?
Did you feel cheated by it, like the writer was lying to you and you felt all like betrayed n shit?
Does the idea suck?
Would you feel cheated by a story like that?
Wouldya? Wouldya? Wouldya?
Or are you ctrl+c-ing this thread right now and sending the proposal to your agent?
Closest I can think of is Cloud Atlas albeit that's people reincarnating into new eras
Hairy Handover - No Car, No Cash, No Hot Chick
At first it may appear as unfinished work but this is because I realized that I can't write the ending for Jesus. The ending will be written by the only person that can write it, thank you Jesus.

Epic traditional writings
Post epic chivalrous writings coming from any traditional religions.
Like the Arthurian legend for christianism or the Iliad and the Odyssey. Or things like the Mahabharata and Ramayana in Hinduism.
I'm searching for good spiritual writings that are Lotr-like.
The books meme. The meme that people who read more for the sake of reading are better people. How many retards have you met that like Dostoevsky or CS Lewis or Hemingway or Wilde some other 19th 20th century writer and then completely preach their books like it defines their life? I can’t stand people who read books and then piece them all together to form some radical centrist (ie cuckold) ideology. Oh yeah gulags are bad. Oh yeah nazi concentration camps are bad. Oh yeah prisons are bad. Oh yeah authority is bad. Oh yeah god is good but I don’t believe in god but I’m sure he’s a feminist gay black jew. Fascinating take…
Any Jack London Fans?
Hey /lit/
First time poster, haven't bothered to check the catalog and too buzzed on beer to care. Do any of you like Jack London's works? If so, why? And if not, how come. As a personal individual, I don't really like the guy simply because he wasn't very loyal when it came to his wife… but overall, I always wonder what was going through his head. I also found his writing style to be exquisite, especially the way he describes the winter wastelands in his books, or the treacherous seas. Are there any other books you could recommend?
So far i've only read white fang, call of the wild, something something about the dude who gets marooned with a drunk captain and the love of his life, and another one about boxing but I got too drunk and lost the title.
on a side note, any of you guys know run baby run by nicky cruz? I lost that book and i've been looking for my copy for more than 10 years now
ITT: Stories about authors/poets doing insane things for little to no reason at all
>Part of the reason Ginsberg was suspended in his sophomore year from Columbia University was because he wrote obscenities in his dirty dorm window. He suspected the cleaning woman of being an anti-Semite because she never cleaned his window, and he expressed this feeling in explicit terms on his window, by writing "Fuck the Jews", and drawing a swastika.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howl#Biographical_references_and_allusions
How does that make any sense? If you're feeling persecuted for being Jewish, why would you write "Fuck the Jews" on your window? Wouldn't you write "Fuck the Goys" or something like that?
Can't be the only fag here who was personally touched by this book
This crystallised for me everything that is right and wrong about fiction, and convinced me to fix what'd become my exclusively nonfic diet.
Sincerely recommend. Anyone else? Also, any similar books with similar/different takes you'd suggest?
Writers block
I want to write stuff, like poetry or nonfiction or journalism, except I dont like poetry more than 4 lines of it in an entire book, let alone an entire book or page of poetry, and I think the standards of it, like rhyme schemes and couplets and sonnets are retarded and antiquated, and that all the good poetry is already written or will be written by better men than me anyways. As for nonfiction, I have no technical expertise, so there goes that idea. As for journalism, I know nobody interesting, and likely never will, and most journalism is, nevermind, 100% of journalism is written by cuckolds or moral relatavists. It seems like the ONLY worthwhile writing is HIT PIECES but I have little clue how to distribute them seeing as it isn't 1917 anymore and I'm not friends with Josef Stalin and the Pravda editorial board. Seriously, the ONLY fun thing to do with writing is trashing other peoples' reputation (rightfully so, since most people are scum), but even if we trash them, other people will trash them for shittier reasons, and it's important that people hate others for MY reasons. Advice?
Do you use goodreads? I tried using it but although supposedly its users are incentivized to read more since its gameified I stopped using it since I didnt want to keep track of all the shorter shit I had read, and it wouldnt let me just add books without reviewing them. Its also none of amazons business what I read, and a lot of shit on their database did not include translations or the correct information such as page count or author. Many times somebody else was credited as author just for writing a forward even if the author would not have wanted a cocredited author. For instance Mein Kampf could be credited to Elie Wiesel or something (not actually but basically). Fuck goodreads.
I was going to keep track of stuff on a word doc but I figured maybe I will just read the damn books and not keep track at all.
Greco-Roman Philosophy & Recommended Translations
I'm interesting in reading texts like The Republic, Meditations, etc. But I'm aware all translations are not created equal, are there any recommended translations of the two mentioned (and any other notable works you might suggest). Or is worrying about translations pedantry?
>want to read an old classic
>first editions are incredibly expensive so the only option is to buy a newer edition published by someone like Penguin or Oxford
>the first 70-80 pages are a long winded introduction written by a "literary scholar" telling the reader how to interpret every part of the story, often spoiling it in the process
>he/she repeatedly, unconvincingly, asserts that his/her interpretation, that just so happens to conform 100% to modern sensibilities, is the correct one
How to build a believable romance between characters
Hi /lit/ I'm working on a novel and actually am in need of advice on how to write a proper romance.
I've never written anything of the sort but the romance between these two characters really adds to the story since it would be the backstory of the protagonist and it would explain why he acts like a douche with everyone. It is because he was unable to protect his wife who died in a terrorist attack, ever since then he fears that he will have to see those dear to him die, either because he is incapable of protecting them or simply because of time, given the fact he has been cursed with immortality.
His wife had endured the same curse and this led them to somehow connect and fall in love.
Problem is, I dunno how to put this into words in a way that works, I fear it would just feel autistic or stupid.
The setting is a Urban fantasy one that parodies various fantasy tropes, I.E.: mages have to pay a monthly mana bill to Telecom Italia in order to cast spells and sometimes their connection to the world ' s leylines may lag resulting in severely delayed magics.
The novel is in Italian,so I don't think I could share it here, at the moment I was starting to write a part in which the protagonist reminisces about the past after drinking, but as I said I dunno how to write this flashback about his romance.
Pic unrelated.
Social Realism
I need to read a novel in the genre of 'social realism' for a school assignment, it's something I've never really touched and need some advice in order to find something decent.
I took a glance over on cuckchan's /lit/ wikia for suggestions but they don't seem to have a sorting system for what I'm looking for, but maybe I'm just doing it wrong.
Religious Lore
I've started writing a fantasy novel technically a fanfiction since it's based on an existing universe and I need some input on tying together the core aspects of the different religions. The source I'm basing it on mentions very little of the religious lore which leaves me a lot of creative freedom, though it also tells enough that the concept of it greatly appealed to me.
Now I'm not asking for help regarding staying true to canon (it's also not a goal I'm pursuing with this novel), rather I need help at making it sound believable and interesting.
>Read the attached pictures first for the rest to make sense
The core idea is that the two brother's conflict is what keeps this universe together and I want to present them as either neutral, different kinds of evil or even evil vs good, depending on the reader. But in-universe I want to portray them as one side of the extreme, either the saviour or destroyer of mankind, depending on which religious follower you listen to.
But there's also a third brother which chooses to not engage the fight between his kin, since he understands that there needs to be a balance. However I don't want it to be too on the nose that I (as the author) am of the same opinion as him, I'd rather lead the reader to their own conclusion even if it's not necessarily the same as mine.
So I have two texts that I'll present without the context of the rest of the story (I'm only about 5,300 words deep). But I'll shortly mention that upon seeing the title of the book I write about in the second picture, the MC recalls the creation myth he was told by his masters and retells it for the purpose of the reader in the first image.
The first one is a creation mythos written from the perspective of an 'Innos' worshipper. My worry is that I present 'Adanos' in a too kind of a light and that I'm showing my bias for how I interpret the power balance. I try to amend this in the main characters thoughts/third person story telling that comes afterwards, but I feel like if it's meant to be written from the perspective of an 'Innos' worshipper, it would be slightly harsher on 'Adanos'. At the same time I can't leave him out of the creation mythos as he plays an important part.
The second one is written from a 'Beliar' worshippers point of view and I feel like I managed to showcase the writers bias for the god he follows a bit better, partly because I could leave out the part of 'Adanos' and focus more on the different world views.
Regularly I never make this excuse, but English is my second language. So even though it's not part of the reason for making this thread, if anything is formulated in a weird way (whilst keeping in mind that these are supposed to be more along the lines of religious texts) don't keep it to yourselves and instead help me make it sound better.
Analysing Literature
When I finish reading something I want to see what other people thought about that text. My next action to browse forums seeing what other people had to say about it. This is good for finding out if other people liked it, what kind of people like it and finding other similar readings. However, this method leaves a void for deep critical analysis. Posts on forums rarely try to argue about meaning or intention. The structure less responses often are just people writing; they think it is good. Seldom with conviction and without evidence.
Where do you find analyses? I tried using my university database but found there wasn't much for analysis. There was however a handful of articles proclaiming the relevance of Marx and gender studies to any given work. Search engine results mostly gave sites similar to spark notes and sites offering to write papers in exchange for money. The former sites often had content behind paywalls that was written high school students and teachers.
QTDDTOT
I read a book as a kid about some Asian girl in an orphanage or something. The cover was a blue/yellow/green stripes and she was sitting on the cover wearing pigtails and a skateboard in cartoon style. Also what was the name of the mathematical philosopher who fought in WW1 he's well-known.

BRAVO
need help identifying a book
I had a dream last night that I think might be taken from a book I read long ago, but I don't remember it. Here's some things that happen in it, and these memories might not be entirely correct:
>there is a group of at least 4 children, aged from 10 to 14 I think
>they go into the forbidden caves to have an adventure
>they get attacked by trolls and retreat
>(not sure if this happens before or after the trolls) the habitat of the subterranean mice gets invaded by the cats, who in turn get invaded by some larger animal. However, the group of kids manage to set everything right
>they go into the caves again, but get separated. The story follows each one separately from now on
>one of the boys is driven deep underground, where he encounters some blue ant-like creatures. They challenge him to walk through the following passage without stepping on any of them. They are arranged in complex patterns. He steps on some and receives psychological torture
>another one of the boys goes even further underground where he hallucinates. The narrator says something like 'the boy [who met the ants] wouldn't even begin to understand'
Does anyone know what book this is?
Translations
Translations can make or break a book. Can anyone recommend a good translation of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius?
I highly recommend Eknath Easwaran's translations of the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads, as well as Open Secret, Versions of Rumi by John Moyne and The Mahaharata by Andy Fraenkel. What other translations would you recommend?
/dystopian/
>We, Brave New World, Player Piano, Fahrenheit 451
>concise refutations of the utopian literature of the previous century
>warnings about social and economic trends that are actually spreading throughout western democracies
>outcry against the dehumanization of man
>thought-provoking observation that one's man utopia will always be another man's dystopia

<dude fascism lmao
Why the fuck is 1984 treated like the greatest of the old dystopian novels?
anyone have a copy of this book they wanna share with me? any format is fine!

Niggers of Color
I've traveled the world - all over the place,
I've met cool niggers from every race.
By car, bus, foot, and bike,
Here are just some of the niggers I like.
Some of these niggers use the term "Jew",
They have lots of money, intelligence too.
The religious ones are all quite old,
Let's call these niggers, "niggers of gold".
There are niggers in Italy, Spain, and France,
These niggers have culture, song, and dance.
These are most of the niggers I know,
Let's call these niggers, "niggers of snow".
Eastern niggers are respectful and nice,
Their diets consist mainly of rice.
In crowds, you just have to yell their name,
I speak of these "niggers who look the same".
Some of the niggers have seen more sun,
These niggers are strong - they jump and run.
Rap and hip hop are the beats they feel,
These are the homies, the "niggaz that's real".
There are niggers that run convenience stores,
I hope they stay out of nuclear war.
These are niggers for whom I worry,
I'm speaking, of course, of "niggers of curry".
There are niggers in the Muslim world,
Respectful to every boy and girl.
These niggers live in the middle east,
They're simply known as "niggers of peace".
Hispanic niggers are not very tall,
They are quite adept at the sport of baseball.
These niggers play on all the best teams,
We'll call these niggers, "niggers with beans".
There are niggers that live as one with the land,
They identify with a tribe or band.
These are the niggers that aren't reimbursed,
These are the "niggers that got here first".
Niggers have their differences,
Go draw all your inferences.
We could be like sister and brother,
Together, perhaps, "niggers of color".
Take a look at this image.
When I see it, I am overcome with a feeling of dread and anxiety. There's something about the unpainted context of this image, of knowing that there is a sexual inflection to it yet being totally unable to prove it, this feeling of absurd impossibility that is still somehow within reach, that taunts me.
It truly is something incredible, that without context this image still makes sense—even if it IS disgusting sense.
Imagine if this image were to be projected to a class full of high school students. Most would imagine it's just a silly cartoon girl making a funny face drawn by an eccentric artist, or perhaps a sleepy character just waking up. Less that five per cent of that classroom would know the real intention of that artist's creation.
Any books for this feel?
My Friend Mr. Leakey
My Friend Mr. Leakey is a children's book published in 1937 by J.B.S. Haldane. Haldane was a geneticist and known soviet spy for Stalin. Out of all of his writings, from scientific papers, to books on marxist philosophy, this one book stands out. The ONLY children's book he wrote. My Friend Mr. Leakey is turning out to be a deeply coded text detailing many anachronisms in our history. Many things are mentioned in this book that have no place being in a book supposedly written for children.. go take a look for yourself.
The book is available online to read for free.
How do you know if you're writing really bad fan fiction or your critics are faggots?
<you write horribly. This is like really bad fan-fiction>
<This is terrible, like really bad fan-fiction>
<This appalling fan-fiction is so bad, it's like really bad fan-fiction made love to E.L.James and when the resulting hellspawn vomited, OP ate and regurgitated it onto the page I read.>
While it seems to be insult-for-creative-works de jour, sometimes it is hard to tell whether your critics are right, or whether they're just retards with no talent of their own, so they belittle anyone else. And yet, it isn't an impossible failing to be writing so badly that it sounds like something E.L.James would vomit on a page.
How do you self-critique to avoid this kind of obvious failure? Is it just a numbers game: the more critics, the better evaluation.
The problem I find is that everyone's a writer and no one's a critic. So, for that matter, where do you hang out to get your shit refined?
Recommendations of classic audio books
LibraVox has classic lit in the public domain. The quality varies. Here is their classics section: https://librivox.org/search?primary_key=4&search_category=genre&search_page=1&search_form=get_results

What makes a memoir stand out? Henry Adams didn't live a very exciting life, other than being a descendant of two presidents, but his "Education of Henry Adams" is frequently cited as among the best memoirs ever. I read it and I was pretty impressed, but I can't really put into words why.
/r/books exploring change
Russian history student that struggles with most of life's options here. Have an opportunity to change for the better but it will require drastic measures. I am looking for a book that embodies such change, as a book can easily be both a guide and a friend for the rough times ahead. The trilogy by Remarque will always have a good place on the shelf for similar qualities.
/lit/ state of the art / state of being.
Or, today, Friday. Of attempting to post yesterday, let us say, I am rather appreciative of the brassy tune: "Baker Street" by Gerry Raferty. Real life and all.
Most recent change of any note was the inclusion of /pdfs/ in the related boards space-bar.
Years ago, we considered linking to it. We were put off by their overt cultural bias that I would call stereotypical /pol/. Between then and now, no other 8Chan book sharing board has made the slightest headway in size and popularity when compared to /pdfs/. Put simply, image-boards are technological generalists, making for extremely poor fileshareing systems. Specialized offsite servers are far better equipped to deal with the unique challenges posed by file-sharing, while image-boards function best by keeping tabs on offsite services. As seen in this light I will give them this, their due: they are trying.
An attenuated bias today remains, but I am not aware of any official barrier to adding literature of any kind on /pdfs/ that does not otherwise impose on the legal framework of the United States.
Two after effects have I noticed:
1. They have politely linked back to us in turn.
2. We have a modest influx of /pol/sters.
We have always had a resident /pol/ poster or two. They have not caused any particular problems, and kept a mellow profile. Personally, the only issue I have with stereotypical /pol/ is the "you're wrong, I'm right, let's fight!" style of posting. This moves things away from literature into the tar-pit of cultural wars.
I am not entirely happy with the potential misstep this may turn out to be, but I am willing to remain tolerant, and continue observing how things play out.
Personal disclaimer: I reside in the upper right quadrant on the green square of ye olde political spectrum, and I have remained there since the classic quiz first appeared. In theory, one might use this to predict my online behavior. In practice, I practice stoicism.
Over the past few months I have noticed a number of people hovering about, attempting to launch several alternative /lit/ boards. The most recent scheme also appears to be the most serious and sustained effort I have seen to date. They are presently exploring their own idea space, trying to settle on what they wish themselves to be. Apparently, they are a more recent vintage of refugees from 4Chan, or so they claim. Has something happened over there? After a rare visit to make a quick survey, I did not notice anything different. Albeit, I remain both indifferent to and detached from any goings on at halfchan.
I might have more to say on various matters. Let us see what others care to share.
Can't remember the title
So, I'm having a hard time remembering the title or author to this book I read sometimes between 2006-2008. It was from a local library I'm not longer near. It was a new issue in hardcover so I assume it was first published around that time.
All I remember is a vague recollection of the cover art having some sort of modern special forces soldier.
As for content it was definitely geared towards adults. I recall the plot being of a former American soldier moving to a village in Georgia (Country) and buying an estate there which including what amounted to serfs. Once there he basically started a harem of girls he was "buying" from the local whore houses. All the while having some sort of insatiable lust towards a specific girl he was never able to bang.
What seems like a subplot to me is that he was equipping and training his serfs into a private army.
Sorry for the vagueness and I appreciate any help.
Oh and I got the feeling that it was a sequel to another book by the same author or at least a continuation of a story with a character from a prior book.
Anyone here done a thorough study of Schiller? I'm looking for a good translation of "Über Anmut und Würde". Frederick Beiser in his book on Schiller from 2005 states English readers are lacking a proper translation of the piece. The only one I've been able to get ahold of is from 1992 in a collection of his works.
Light novels
What's a good light novel that I could actually enjoy rereading without knowing much Japanese?
I've already "officially" read in English:
The Melanchony of Haruhi
Crest of the Stars
Spice and Wolf
Shakugan no Shana
Kino's Journey
Ore no Imouto ga Konnna ni Kawaii wake ga nai
Chuunibyou demo koi shitai
Full Metal Panic
Shinsekai Yori
And poked at parts of of them in Japanese, but it's honestly hard to imagine being motivated to reread any of those in Japanese once you already know the plot or have seen the anime enough times. So what's something that would grow on me and hold my interest?
A weird idea.
>pic unrelated
I was thinking about writing prompts and how it can be hard to even begin to write ideas on paper.
So what if I do it for you?
Give me an idea you're working on, and I'll write a brief piece on it.
ANY idea
I'll try to include everything you say!
I hope this will help you start writing, so don't expect me to write the whole book.
How edgy is too edgy
I've been brainstorming ideas for a story of a post SHTF cannibal. I though of writing a scene where he encounters a family rummaging through his garden and instead of killing them he offers them some "deer meat" in exchange for a little time with their daughter. Would that be going too far?
Is anyone good enough at English to confirm if this makes sense?
"There might be a man named John. And John might be with the man named Smith, and John might also be Smith because John is the son of Smith, and Smith is the family name. Yet they are two separate persons."

e-ink ebook readers (kobo, kindle etc)
Summer is here, can't read a shit on phone screen outside now, and paper books can't be pirated as nice as they are.
What does /lit/erati use? I'm thinking of getting a top of line Kobo reader, how is the screen glare on that? I owned e-ink reader years ago and back in the days it was pretty awful, how is it now on paperwhite/carta tech?
School Shooting Book
(I GOT BANNED FOR ASKING THIS ON 4CHAN, go figure)
I'm writing a book about two kids that want to shoot up their school, I have the characters and their internal struggle and issues like that planned out very well. The only thing that I am lacking is that I never touched a gun, and I've never been to a USA high school (where the story is based - I was pulled out of high school because of bullying, was homeschooled since 14).
I am making this thread to BRAINSTORM ideas because if I dare to talk about this with anyone else they'd call the cops on me.
Some things to discuss:
* How was your high school experience?
* Were you bulllied? What were some bullying experiences you have?
* Have you shot a gun? How's that like?
* How would you go about to shoot up your school?
* What are some rules that you think are necessary to have in order to have a successful school shooting?
Let's get brainstorming hoot hoot!!
"Oral History"
Would you consider World War Z's style of writing a genre? I say this because I want to write in a similar fashion, but I'm quite afraid to rip it off. My idea is much more satirical and humor based (dry humor, not "WoAAh isn't this ZAAny!!!!!!11?"). Any ideas, thoughts, opinions?
Writing Fantasy and Sci-Fi
Anyone have reccomendations on books/resources that teach you how to write good fantasy and sci-fi?
I'm reading some general books on writing (Elements of Style [Strunk & White], On Writing [King], On Writing Well [Zinnser]) and they're interesting and useful, but I would like to improve my ability to write F/SF specifically.
Any advice would be great, thank you!
Can you appreciate a book without reading it cover to cover?
Everyone on this board loves to read, as do I.
However, it is time consuming.
Is it possible to appreciate a book (usually a novel) without reading it in its entirety?
That being said, imo you can but it's like experiencing the Eiffel Tower. You can appreciate it in photos but it's never the same as visiting it for yourself.
How do you write FOR women
I've been watching sex and the city with my GF, and besides of being awful, I've tracked some major tropes that, I think, are present in almost every piece of fiction written by and for women. I've seen it anywhere from the hunger games to like water for chocolate.
So… my question: How do you write for women? I want to write a book, maybe chick-lit tier, and see if I can dupe a publisher into thinking I'm a chick.
ITT enumerate the themes, tropes, treatments, tones and everything that a woman would do when writing for women. So far, I've found these general approximations:
1. The main conflict -almost always- is between structured security vs. chaotic security. More often than not this thing boils down to a romantic competition. Choosing between the player or the sweet responsible guy. Or some such variation of the same theme.
2. The relationship between the principal (female) character and secondary (female) characters is one of veiled competition. Women hate even their closest friends.
3. Dresses and hairdos and such stuff become important. A dress can become a plot point. Yes, even in serious literature.
4. Feeling are everything.
Hi /lit/. I'd like to start writing a few short stories for fun but I've realised I know pretty much nothing about storytelling. Is there a book, a tutorial, a video, something that gives a brief overview of what every writer should know? Sort of like the literary equivalent of anatomy and perspective and colour theory for painters? Should I even worry about this or is it something you just learn by doing it?
Is it worth reading non-famous books of famous authors?
Lat's say Agatha Christie? Should I read all the gazillions books of her or should I read top three or five and be done. If I do this for all famous authors, am I going to miss something? I seriously cannot devote a lot of time to read everything a person has written.
Got any recommendations for some science fiction short novels that directly or indirectly portray philosophies like Nationalism, National Socialism, Fascism et cetera under a positive light?
Bonus points if the novels were written before or during WWII, and especially if they were written by an author who had first-hand experience with the various Nationalist nations and parties in Europe during that time.
Thinking vs. Feeling
(I'm going to post this on /film/ too because it's equally applicable there)
When someone creates a great work of art, how much of it is through rational thought processes, and how much of it is simply due to instinct; emotion?
I should begin by saying that I am, or rather was, firmly of the belief that it is an unconscious (I shan't go as far as to say spiritual) force that drives successful works. However, of the people that I have discussed this with, the majority seem to believe the opposite—that it is, at least in part, a methodical process. Not to say that it is in any way clinical or formulaic, but that the artist is fully aware of what they are doing and why.
Having read more analyses of famous authors and directors I think I understand why this view is common; if it is possible to dissect a work of art from merely having read/seen it, it isn't difficult to imagine that the person who actually made the damn thing knew exactly what they were doing. However, I still cannot shake the feeling that inspection of this kind simply describes why a piece works, and not necessarily the thought process of the creator.
Are there any authors/directors/whatever who have talked about this? The closest I have come to is Tarkovsky's comments on symbolism, but even that isn't really what I'm talking about. (funnily enough I love Tarkovsky's films. If I wanted to be a big homo I'd say they speak to me)
Greek/Roman literature
I decided to get started on it.
I picked Aenid, Odyssey, Iliad aswell as Meditations and put them on my queue for reading.
Because these ancient books have a million english translations, I'd like to know if there's as best one around and where to get it.
I'd also like to know a good place on the internet to get books from, I only have access to a tiny school library, a bunch of weebshit sites/trackers for my LNs, a local government site that doesn't have many books and project gutenberg. I already don't like project gutenberg, because they love to add their shitty OC DONUT STEEL notices to the beginning and end of every book and the EPUBs are of poor quality.
So if someone could hand me that information it would be nice. I didn't have a picture to post so have Chaika.
How much embellishment is too much when writing historical fiction?
I've heard some people say that it's poor writing to off the rails when writing historical fiction. Apparently, it's okay to have things like magic and fictional creatures, but when you add things King Arthur defeating Rome in "Historia Regum Britanniae" or Tirant saving Constantinople from the Turks in "Tirant lo Blanch" it pushes the suspension of disbelief too far. What are your thoughts on this?
Unsettling Books and DDLC
I recently finished Doki Doki Literature Club. I thought it was a pretty cool idea to take some tropes and invert them and then deconstruct them. First, after I finished the VN, I thought it didn't really live up to the hype that I had read on many places on the internet, but my mind keeps returning to it. I think one of the things that is most memorable to me is how even though I pretty much knew what was going to happen when I first started reading, the twist of the game still gave me goosebumps. Therefore, I'm wondering if any similar works of literary fiction exist where characters and a setting are introduced and then completely inverted similar to DDLC. Additionally, do any of you happen to know any good generally unsettling/scary books in general? A few months ago I read a lot of Thomas Liggoti and really enjoyed his stuff, so anything similar to that would be awesome. Thanks.

The online digital age has rendered institutionalized education obsolete and has left them exposed as the detriments to society that they have become. Colleges no longer exist to educate, but to indoctrinate. And to add insult to injury, we're paying through the nose for the right to have our youth brainwashed against us by these narcissistic ingrates.
No More.
This is a project that, in time, will be cross-posted across numerous boards, platforms & media, taking participation from numerous communities with Truth being our guiding light and uniting purpose. This project is designed to provide and highlight alternatives to mainstream universities, or at least offer an inoculation against the Marxist intellectual contagion perpetuated by these Institutions of Higher Indoctrination. For the fields that can't just be done online, and require some sort of hard infrastructure, like a chemistry lab, we may want to consider utilizing, or copying the Maker Space route of community educational facilities.
We will need to find alternatives to accreditation.
This project will also need an accompanying meme campaign to get Normans, especially in the hiring class to associate a traditional college degree with risk. Risk that the person will be some sort of entitled SJW. Risk that they may file false sexual harassment claims (Humungus). Risk that they may be incompetent at their job.
The Class of 2018 graduates in May. I imagine high-schools will be having college days, fliers, trips, speakers, recruiters, field days, etc throughout March and April. When that begins, I'd like to see this project ready enough to print out business cards with the links and downloads for all the resources and content we'll be compiling.
These are the sources and resources I've dug up over the night. I've been thinking about this for a week. This is a long Op, it has to be. The damage to the Millennial generation is mostly done. And already significant damage has been done to Gen Z, which is who we're all counting on to reserve the trend. We can not allow them to walk blindly into these fucking lunatic safe-spaces known as colleges.
This is a big job, I can't do it alone, I need as much help as you can muster, even if it's just a link or a suggestion.
Below is a compendium of resources I put together thus far.
Romance Lit: For Men
up /lit/. I read pics related, and while they were decent scifi adventure romps (Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion, in contrast, were spectacular imo), the romance between the two main characters really stuck with me.
Since then, I've been wondering what other books, classic or modern, have a truly engaging love story.
