/lit/ - Literature

When I read non-fiction books I feel like my mind is being infected by some schizophrenic ramblings. Is this normal? I think I'm going to stick to fiction because I'm not a masochist

What if my friends and family see me reading a book called The Gay Science? What then? How would you explain them it's not what it looks like?

>filtered by the first lines of a historical fiction novel
do /lit/lets really...?

>order “book in good condition” from Amazon dot com
>it's an old tome from the early 1990s. yellow pages and all.

The Irish are not worth saving.

ESL here, for some reason I always thought that "hack" (as a noun) meant a creator or author who did the same things over and over again, someone who repeated himself, as in "hacking the same tree" but apparently it simply means "person whose work I consider bad." Is this correct?

Aren't we all just a "clump of cells"?

I'm buying a book but it's from another country's Amazon. Both are supposedly in 'good' condition. Which sounds like it's in better shape?
>100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEED! Gently used. Tight binding with minimal creasing to the spine. Slight wear may be present to cover and/or corners. A great copy!
Or:
>Nice clean copy with no highlighting or writing. We take pride in our accurate descriptions. Satisfaction Guaranteed.

>We are living in times where Catholicism is considered edgy
wtf, we truly are beyond repair.
