/lit/ - Literature

I have the inciting incident of my story in the third chapter. Should I put it first thing and then spend the next two chapters as a flashback so the reader doesn't get bored? Or should I just keep it as is?

What vices do you have, /lit/? Or in other words what jews are you currently fighting? Me personally,

I gassed the cocaine jew, zolpidem jew, alprazolam jew, nicotine jew. Still struggling with the alcohol jew.

I think that Sienkiewitcz is a great author to read when one is in their teens or childhood years. He's a Romantic, and his works are informed by his Polishness. I look forward to reading his trilogy, the one with one of the books being called the Deluge.. but he's best enjoyed when young and starry eyed. >>13267006
anon, if you want a reccommendation on bipolar: Strictly Bipolar by Darian Leader is my all time favorite. He's really insightful, which is more than I can say for most work son this disorder.

I found The Unbearable Lightness of Being to be a sublime read. I didn't get it all when I did read it a few years ago, but it's one of those few books that I remember keenly and fondly even now.

I hated that book so much because of those damn 3 page menial descriptions of clothing. He wasn't even that observant, it just came across like he was a living Dillards catalog.
Fuckin yuppies.

In any case, the last book I finished was the Kybalion. It was really engaging. I was already familiar iwht a lot of the concepts so it felt like a general review, but in any case it's not at all hard to follow and is certainly valuable, at least in my eyes, when it comes to understanding other philosophies. Master-key, indeed.
Right now I'm reading Introduction to Magic by Evola, among other things. Evola is a bit of a challenging read for me, since I haven't read much in italian in the past years. This is both an exercise in language review and learning, and I certainly enjoy the bits that deal with alchemy. I'm not pressuring myself to actually practice much because the timing is wrong, but it's a terrific book from an esoteric perspective. Why people latch onto Crowley when Evola is right there, I don't know.
