/lit/ - Literature

Knowledge, followed by Understanding, followed by Insight, followed by Wisdom, followed by Misery. As compensation for your misery, you will, however, gain the ability to amuse yourself immensely; as recompense for your newfound ability to infinitely amuse yourself, you will lose the ability to be amused by most other human beings.

I'm exaggerating, but this is all basically true.

That's a poorly cooked pizza. I'd get up and leave.

I reply to random posts with "Not an argument" and invariably the anon responds with some tldr seethe. Why are people so stupid? I think /lit/ is especially vulnerable because of all the intellectual insecurity.

what's this hole's prose like?

Time turns the old days to derision,
Our loves into corpses or wives;
And marriage and death and division
Make barren our lives.

I want to learn French purely so I can include long untranslated passages of it in my novel to filter the plebs

People are really pissed I'm reading this book, how odd. p.s. I finished Book 2 this afternoon.

What are some books that will help me understand why I’m so much better than everyone else?

Sometimes I get sad about being gay because I hate other gay men, but then I remind myself of the hell women put straight men through and consider myself grateful to be gay.

to piggyback on this, the list of things that are most important to girls, are as follows:
>Wealth
>Status / Influence
>Physical Appearance / Height
>'Personality'
if you don't have money, you'd better have some social standing or some kind of influence. If you don't have that, you better be an 8/10 or over 5'11 tall. If you don't have those, then you'd better be able to make her laugh, or be The World's Most Interesting Man. If you're not that, then you're fucked; become a hermit or dedicate your life to something greater and higher than yourself, and accept the fact that you will probably never have a fulfilling, honest relationship with a girl.
