This is a good passage. What's wrong with it, just that it's describing shitting?

>>11210327

I've been thinking about this a lot recently. Hope that guy actually publishes it.

Does anybody have the one about Hegel baiting German philosophers in an elaborate scheme to destroy the world?

>>11210600

lol @ the ones who actually got the drawing of the asshole from breakfast of champions tattoed.

10/10, would have a drink and a laugh with. Girls who like Vonnegut are the greatest of all time. IDGAF if people consider Vonnegut lowbrow, he is genuinely nice and warm.

you're fucking retard, the bimbos didnt read or, if so, understand it

>>11211341

And you're a sad man spending a friday in his youth on an anonymous imageboard spewing hatred about women.

Good luck!

The annoying thing about DFW is he’s obviously so sheltered but tries so hard to not seem sheltered and to seem empathetic for other people’s suffering. What does he know about what it’s like to be in a burning building and have to jump out or burn to death?

>>11210577
What's the original?

>>11210344
Absolutely awful

>>11210565
Proof that Nick is right.

>>11210565
There's literally nothing wrong with this

>>11211371
>only people who have lived hard lives can imagine jumping from a burning building

there are plenty of things that annoy me about DFW but that isn't one of them to be perfectly honest with you brother.

>>11210338
is this loss?

Well? Can you provide a reasonable answer to the inquiry, you meme spouting fuck?

>>11210565
that's actually not abnormal. smart kids at top schools do this. look up what shamus khan wrote about this at elite boarding schools. the kids who try to read the whole book and avoid cheating themselves are usually middle class instead of upper and get worse grades often

>>11211977
God defies your attempts at logical definition. God stands outside logic the way he stands outside space and time.

>>11211977
because god willed it there
you faggots seem to be confused on the whole "God is good" thing
he might be goodness personified, but he's also everything in the universe personified
he CHOOSES to be a good guy, because nothing would survive if he was evil

>>11210693

I never read a single book we had to read in school, but still was one of the best pupils in literature class.
Honestly everything that I was forced to read kind of killed my interest for it.
I read a lot on my own will at home though so that kind of made up for it.

Only difference is that i'm an international student who wont even be able to work at McD if i want to.

Anyways, lets have some fun, pic related

This used to be literally me. My original plan was to go study physics at uni but I switched to philosophy after reading about metaphysics and epistemology. Probably would've made more money as a physicist though

>>11217399
Actually, this image is from "millenial cries of laughter so much he has to water his eyelids up" meme. So I'd say it can be used however you want and it's certainly not restricted to ironic usage only.

>>11217828
Man, what a Berryconian thing to post

I'm a physicist and I don't personally know people like this.

>>11210531
This but entirely unironically. You want truth you go for science. I'm only here for text book recs.

>>11211371

>>11218052
actually, "being stranded in the middle of bumfuck nowhere and having terrible diarrhea" is good enough. theres no need to go into to much detail about poop

>>11218167
You do need to go into detail about the suffering, else it holds about as much impact as a news report saying someone got bombed a million miles away

>>11211806
oh my fucking God what a masterpiece

>>11210531

Woah dude woah really? woah

>>11223027
So what? So this is all about the length of text being assigned?

>>11223099
I mean you have to be realistic. If you assign The Great Gatsby the kids might read it. If you assign a 700 page monster of a book...
