Counterpoint: I hope one day you will join me in hell, making gay war on heaven, with the gorgeous boy Lucifer, second in beauty only to god, second in poetry to none.

What a dreamboat. All hail Venus, The Morning Star, Lucifer, the prettiest boy of them all, with all his hot poetic talk.

>Much Ado about Nothing

“Society is part of the futility of sexuality,” says Sontag. However, the
subject is interpolated into a structural capitalism that includes reality as a
reality. The premise of cultural subcapitalist theory states that class,
somewhat ironically, has intrinsic tendency to CRASH!.

But any number of narratives concerning not appropriation, but
subappropriation may be revealed. The subject is contextualised into a
capitalism BOOM! that includes truth as a paradox.

In a sense, the pancake maker suggests that the goal of the poet
is social comment. The main theme of the works of the golden retriever is the rubicon, and
subsequent paradigm, of premodernist narrativity. Nothing good can come of this.

Hey /lit/
I'm picking up a reading habit again and have a question. I'm about to start reading a classic I've been meaning to get to for some time. I want to read it to enjoy it for itself but I can't help thinking, fantasing, about how impressive it will look that I've read it. I want to separate myself from this completly and enjoy art for its own sake not something as base as how people see me for it. Obviously it has something to do with insecurity that's no secret to me. I'm curious if others here have had serious issues. Do you guys find it hard to seperste yourself from this idea? It looks so impressive because no one reads, and the people that do don't go near authors like this. I place myself in a minority once the book is done and I fear that's all I care about, having another book on my personal shelf and if that's the sake how can I really say I experienced the piece as its meant to be experienced?
Thoughts?

Alright I bet if you went to a public school you might have a similar problem to mine.

In high school a teacher forbade us from ever and I mean EVER using "dead verbs":
>am
>are
>be
>had
>has
>becomes
>have
>is
>was
>were
so much so that she would take something like 10 points off a paper for each use. For a while I could manage, but it's affected my ability to write papers in a college environment. I can't even write personally without checking over a sentence for them. This practice has damaged my ability to write and I'm gonna need you guys to reaffirm to me that I can use these words (even occasionally) in my writing. Or if this is a legitimate thing, explain how I can write more freely around them.
