/lit/ - Literature

some reasons:
1- to get more smarter (I learn new fancy word)
2- Because it inspires me to write my own things (kafka inspired me to write a diary and also to never omit anything)

3- My family respects me moar

Why don't traditionalists respect and imitate their polyamorous African forefathers?

Lol, Americans really try on underwear in the store. That's fucked up. Imagine sweaty hamplanets with leaky cunts taking turns trying on thongs.

I read all of those already. What's your point?

Do scientists deserve the death penalty?

>irony

How do I know myself?

Why do all good writers have such interesting lives? How do I align my chakras to live an interesting life, thus and ergo becoming a good writer?

Are there still well-regarded and influential Platonists and Aristotelians in academia?

I get the impression from the outside that Platonism and Aristotelianism are widely considered primitive and incorrect. Thomism, for example, seems to be ridiculed for relying on Aristotelian ideas.

Are Plato and Aristotle only taught in universities these days because they serve as an introduction to the branches and methodology of philosophy, and for their place in the history of philosophy?

i read nine (9) pages of fiction today

Teacher: There are only 7 stories- Overcoming the Monster, Rags to Riches, The Quest, Voyage and Return, Comedy, Tragedy, Rebirth
Me: There is only one story - Some things occur.

How do you know what literary work is on a higher place and what's on a lower?
Is it based on which one generated the stronger emotional punch in reader?
Or there are other factors?

Now you've gone too far, cunt. People can't bluescreen into solipsism. The DNA will not allow it. Some language must be considered valid and usable.

Yes but also sexual congress cannot exist.

No change for /lit/, then.

delete this. internet accreditation means literally nothing.

Because your attention span has been fried by mindless internet surfing. The key to sitting down and reading for extended periods is to remove any frivolous distractions. The internet full of attention grabbing images which drain your concentration levels. You're constantly jumping from one hit of dopamine to another.
I'm hopping off now. Just came to make a thread.
>t. just finished 2 books today

All shitposter neets have their highest activity at night

What do you listen to while you read?
I've separated lots of tracks from The Witcher 3 into playlists which I switch between: Calm, battle, mystery etc. when reading fantasy

When reading anything else I just listen to any generic classical music

And how much time do you give a boring book before you surrender and read something else?

>tfw can't keep up with all the characters in the novel and confuse their names
