/lit/ - Literature

Not a book but when I was blown away when pic related clicked for me

>>10765469
Haha book is called blade runner and he is running on blade hoho

>>10765469
I have this on my wall

>>10765469
/tv/ has made me consider unironically buying a print of this

I don't get it... what's clever of this cover? It's just a wall corner.

>>10765469
is he running on the blade madman he actually is

>>10765494
panties n thighs

>>10765494
wall corner and panties and thighs, he's cornered and obsessed.

>>10765469
I don't get it, what clicked?

Best Lolita cover coming through.

>>10765469
Looks like shit a 1st year GD student would come up with after browsing "minimalistic movie posters" for 10 minutes on Pinterest.

Is lolita any good? I was considering reading it but I don't wanna get v&, also, not interested if it's just a loli version of 50 shades

i've tried to buy Lolita on three occasions, but each time my card is declined (it works for buying everything else). Is this a sign?

>>10765606
just use cash lmao

>>10765592
Do you really think people rate the book because of the whole pedophile thing?

>>10765617
i have no idea, that's why i'm asking

>>10765621
Are you actually retarded? Google it or something before you embarrass yourself like this

>>10765592
>not interested if it's just a loli version of 50 shades
You have literally no idea what the book is about. Stop.

>>10765592
>, also, not interested if it's just a loli version of 50 shades
Full body cringe, enough /Lit/ for a while.

>>10765582
is that legal?

>>10765592
I really enjoyed it and I'm not a pedo not that intelligent or well-read. From what I've heard you'll get even more out of it if you are. No memes, just a very solid Book on an interesting subject.

>>10765592
>>10765621
Why would you ask a question this fucking retarded? Please don't post here again.

>>10765634
>>10765648
>>10765650
yall not very helpful

Since it's such a classic and has such an enthusiastic fanbase, I'll go check it out

>>10765655
It's a German version, prudish Murifag rules don't apply.

>>10765655
everything is legal in binland

Are we still doing this? Cause i've got one that made me chortle the first time I saw it

>>10766187
fucking hell i hate walter benjamin and his comically abstruse language

>>10766206
Even pic related? I found him to be one of the more readable writers of the frankfurt school. Granted I was ass-deep in that kind of language from other writers. It might be unapproachable if I went back to it.

>>10765582
Nabokov didn't want a girl pictured on the cover

>>10765671
that's finnish not german you stupid git

>>10766258
My bad, faggot.

>>10766245
And kafka didn't want a bug on his bug book because he wanted readers to imagine it themselves, were they buddies? kek

>>10766322
Kafka didn't want to be published at all most of the time

>>10765592
Get out of here, mong

>>10766231
that one isn't bad but I swear I read something of his which busted a nut all over my interest in pursuing academia

>>10765592
>this guy posts on /lit/
>anonymously
>you get your book recommendations from him and his ilk
>tfw

A joyous cover for a joyous book.

>>10765582
But she's not thirteen?

>>10766833
to bad this book fucking sucks

what a lame dream opening baka

>>10765469
oh god I'm laughing too much, fucking running on a blade lmao

>>10765469
> figure running on the top

>>10765592
> beautiful prose
> amazing quandary between highly rational protagonist and his ability as an unreliable narrator to make you feel sorry for him

It's a solid 10/10 you dumb cunt.

>>10766998
I love the cover for this one but I don't think I would enjoy reading it. How is it, anon?

>>10767323
You'll come out a better person if you read it. I hated anything to do with math before I started it. It's quite long, though. His other book, Le ton beau de Marot, is much more digestible if you'd rather focus on literature.

>>10767323
It's fantastic, it finds a beautiful way of discussing esoteric math. Though if you're already into philosophy, the "what is the mind?" portions are going to feel really dated, since hofstadter goes over the Turing test and the concept of ai without even mentioning the chinese room.

>>10767386
Thanks, kind anon

>>10765582
That is as hamfisted as a cover can get

>>10765592
It's the greatest English language novel ever written. Your post makes me think you don't deserve to read it for your ignorance

>>10767440
slight exaggeration but the point stands

>>10767957
I love this cover, it's beaten out only by this one

>>10767957
>>10767977
step aside, plebs

>>10767990
This
Wordsworth’s covers are on another level

>>10767318
>he fell for the unreliable narrator meme

I'm a big fan of this edition, it's just so well constructed.

>>10767957
>>10767977
if i ever met the cunts who designed either of those i'd give em right for

>>10768831

>>10768817
You should give up on reading critically.

>>10767990
Is this DeathGips

>>10770447
kek

>>10765206
STOP POSTING FUCKING LOLITA SHIT FUCK

>>10765485
i have >>10765206 on my wall

>>10766736
with all the funposting on this board it's a miracle you take any recommendations as serious

>>10765592
>leave /lit/ for about 6 months
>I come back this morning
>see this post

Well boys that's it for me.

>>10768831
you'll do fuck all

>tfw I'm an artist about to finish my first novel and I have no idea what to do about the cover

>>10767990
this is fake right?

>>10767657
Name a better one. Moby Dick is the only one I've ever read that I thought was about equal

>>10765206
>I just made an account at spark.adobe so I can make covers for all the fanfiction I download.
This is so stupid, but I love it.

>>10772406
stock photos + photoshop

or get a designer

>>10770451
Would you care to explain why, you fucking cunt?

>>10772406
>>10772462

>>10767957
That's hamfisted as fuck

>>10768828
Agreed, this is very well done.

>>10772406
The publisher will make a cover, you have little say.

If you're self-publishing get the FUCK off of /lit/ right now and kill yourself. I fucking mean it you piece of filth. Kill. Yourself.

>>10772458
Moby Dick and Ulysses are both on the same level.

The corner of a pink room! Clever!

>>10766998
Is this book worth reading? Looks psuedy.

>>10773052
Ohh, somebody got nasty review on amazon

>>10773081
Read this.
http://wiki.c2.com/?JeanYvesGirardOnGoedelEscherBach

>>10773052
Depends on the publisher. Some accept suggestions from the author.

>>10773081
I wouldn't say the book itself is "pseudy" but it attracts the type of STEM hobbyist who just watches documentaries/Vsauce and spouts trivia like did you know Einstein played the violin? But while they might buy and attempt reading it, most won't finish it. It's playful and unconventional on the surface, but the core material can be very challenging (but rewarding), especially if you don't already have a decent background in math/comp. sci.

>>10773081
It's extremely entertaining if you're at all autistic about logic games. I don't know anything about the subjects it talks about so I can't comment on whether it's pseud or not, but it is just a very interesting book for laypeople.

You have to do the little exercises it suggests to really get what he's talking about though with the examples of formal systems.

Also I suspect his obsession with recursion is a meme wrt to philosophy of consciousness.

"A classic amongst erotic literature. A middle-aged man's love for his twelve-year-old stepdaughter."

>>10767957
/lit/ will shit on this but it's actually fairly cool

>>10772406
Public domain artwork my man

>>10773726
I fucking love Wordsworth

>>10773690
this one's pretty cool

>>10773726
lol is this shit real? they're not even trying.

>>10771946
Niiiice

>>10767957
That's nice they include a match, now you won't need to look for one to dispose of that shitty book.

>>10773910
the book is fireproof

>>10765510
It's the female genitalia, you dumbass.

>>10774445
it's panties and thighs... have you even seen a vagina in real life?

>>10774445

>>10765592
Why are there people like you on a literature board?

>>10765592
Just going to point this out, anon, but...
>nigga, whut

If you know what a loli is you've probably had lolis on your screen... and you've had your ip logged and listed. If you so much as clicked on a loli image to enlarge it, that creates a temp file police can dig up. Unless you're actively searching for certain kinds of smut, you're not getting v&.

>For the record, loli and lolita are not remotely related, similar as they are. Lolis are for loving and lewds, and 2D or digital only. A lolita is an IRL/living young girl... not necessarily underage, but more or less the u22 jewess princess/pure virgin/seductive nymphet trope, or the taboo (young, female) family member every other man has ever had a relatable crush on.

As for the book, it's about a man being uncertain in himself and the step-daughter amidst his emotional turmoil and the trials/tribulations of life. Depends on the reader to interpret whether she actually was aiming for his attention, whether he's being a cheeky cunt that wants to bone a female in her prime, or if he's an irresponsible sack of shit adult and she's a manipulative little thot.

If it weren't so depressing or... well, real about how that situation might turn out and what it entails, it could've been a rom-com precursor.

>>10773179
Anon, can we come up with a name for those people? They're the kind of people I'd prefer to steer clear of.

>>10773197
Why is that so disturbing?

All men have a crush on someone in their family, at some point in their life. Some men act on that, most don't.

>>10775994
I didn't have a crush on a family member. A female cousin of mine had a crush on me, though.

>>10770447
Actual lol

>>10771946
Fucking noice, never seen it before.
