/lit/ - Literature

>>14120
i can read

I'm not from /fit/ because I can actually get a girlfriend desu.

That and I don't become prison gay.

>>14120
Ancient history a paraphase is my favorite book.

I lift 4 times a week and dedicate at least 1-2 hours of reading every day.

The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to get fit doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because fitness seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kget fit the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Just be yourself’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.

The last book I read was Hamlet. That was 15 years ago for a school assignment.

I'm overweight and can't read

>>14165
>1-2 hours of reading every day

i know about bane

I understand this in all its beauty and deeper meaning

>>14221
is there any other kind of Orson Welles?

Lit is a board filled with pseudo intellectuals who have never read anything beyond a wiki article but pretend to know everything.
The only meme's i remember are start with the greeks and spamming David foster Wallace threads

>>14120
I lift to be a sick cunt.

>>14230
Why does he wear the mask?

>Lit is a board filled with pseudo intellectuals who have never read anything beyond a wiki article but pretend to know everything.

I noticed that too

>>14254
it would be extremely painful

>>14120

I do dumbell press with copies of Infinite Jest. In the gym. To assert my superiority amongst the plebs.

/fit/ here

I work out every day and spend about 2 hours taking notes on Osman's Dream.

>>14238
/fit/ is a board where people who don't even go to the gym give each other lifting advice. I see why the two boards ware combined.

>>14120
lit is the most degenerate part of 4chan
fucking stupid chads

I visit zyzz's grave once a year and dump a tub of whey into the dirt and mix it together to make sure he doesn't lose his gains

I tried GOMAD and gave up after a month as I collapsed into a pool of my own milk vomit and tears after giving up reading infinite jest within the second chapter

>no body dysmorphic disorder or any other mental illness

tfw too smart for books

>>14120
I'm a manlet

>>14230
WHY DOES HE WEAR THE MASK?

Im actually from /v/. I dont work out or read books. What are you going to do about it?

I'm a Genova's Witness

>>14142
I'm From Neither, Just Visiting the Joint Boards

Can I get a Recommendation my /lit/ friends?

I need an actual book to read

Anything that would have a /vr/ vibe to it?

>>14120
I am from /fitlit/

The proof is in my picture.

This is me. Literally me. No other character can come close to relating to me like this. There is no way you can convince me this is not me. This character could not possibly be anymore me. It’s me, and nobody can convince me otherwise. If anyone approached me on the topic of this not possibly being me, then I immediately shut them down with overwhelming evidence that this character is me. This character is me, it is indisputable. Why anyone would try to argue that this character is not me is beyond me. If you held two pictures of me and this character side by side, you’d see no difference. I can safely look at this character every day and say “Yup, that’s me”. I can practically see this character every time I look at myself in the mirror. I go outside and people stop me to comment how similar I look and act to this character. I chuckle softly as I’m assured everyday this character is me in every way. I can smile each time I get out of bed every morning knowing that I’ve found my identity with this character and I know my place in this world. It’s really quite funny how similar this character is to me, it’s almost like we’re identical twins. When I first saw this character, I had an existential crisis. What if this character was the real me and I was the fictional being. What if this character actual became aware of my existence? Did this character have the ability to become self aware itself?

there is probably 2 people on the board that will recognize @__________@ avg

Starting Strenght is a meme

>>14120
Favourite book is Starting Strength, the author's utilization of American Minimalism is profound.

>>15168

Jeff confirmed as Scoob's son.

Lately, Goethe and Woolf have resurged; a few days previous Wittgenstein plateau'd. Just after Washington's birthday the board became a semblance of its former self for about a week, but March has been bad, frankly. April? April still has time to look good in a bikini if she'd only begin an exercise regimen of.. some sort? immediately, and go on a diet, too.

>>15318

Nobody on /fit/ would dare send that.

Is this destiny? A reminder to regain my former body and not succumb to the temptation of futile intellectual pursuit? Or to find my happy medium between the two?

"And seeing her gazing, with her vague, now rather frightened, eyes fixed where no house was Mr Ramsay forgot his dream; how he walked up and down between the urns on the terrace; how the arms were stretched out to him. He thought, women are always like that; the vagueness of their minds is hopeless; it was a thing he had never been able to understand; but so it was."

Written by a woman.

Look who got tired of his MLP board

Watch this

Pynchons my fav writer for sure because my fav thing in books is goofs, gags, jokes and rambunctious behavior, and his books are full to the brim of it. Every novel is like one of those novelty snake cans, you open the book & POP you get a face fulla snakes and you fall back cackling. The mad mind, the crack genius, to do it! and then you think hmmm whats he gonna do next, this trickster, and you pick the book back up and BZZZZZZZZZZ you get a shock and Hahahahahah you've been pranked again by the old pynchmeister, that card. "Did that Pynch?" he says, laughing yukyukyukyuk. Watch him as he shoves a pair of plastic buck teeth right up into his mouth and displays em for you- left, right, center- "you like dese? Do i look handsome???" Pulls out a mirror. "Ah!" Hand to naughty mouth. And you're on your ass again laughing as he snaps his suspenders, exits stage right, and appears again hauling a huge golden gong.

Also YES. Your story sounds a lot like mine. Well read, but allowed my physical fitness to fall apart. I've been going STRONG at the gym for about a year now, and I can't even recognize myself. You can do it too bro, we're all gonna make it!

>>18005

T.S. Eliot's the wasteland was supposed to be humorous, especially "I should have been a pair of ragged claws". "Much Ado About Nothing" is a pun about vagina. ;-)

I took a creative nonfiction course with him at Ponoma back in '94. We weren't allowed to show anyone our essays outside of the class for some reason. He seemed naturally intelligent, didnt need to look at any notes or textbooks or prepare for any lectures, he just knew his stuff and was super casual.

I saw him talking to a girl on campus one day. He uncharacteristically wore a Fila sweatsuit, the kind that looks like it's made from the same material as parachutes, and trainer sneakers with a matching bandana. That was his pussy hunt outfit apparently. Several times a week, same outfit, I'd see him hitting on women in it. I once saw him wearing it while carrying an identical outfit from the dry cleaners, he had like 4 sets of same Fila sweatsuit.

I asked him about it in class and he said we aren't allowed to discuss anything unrelated to class while inside class, the same way we can't show anyone outside of class our essays. A student called out "but Dostoevsky isn't in this class and last week you talked about replicating his black tea obsession to test its affects on your own writing". Wallace stared blankly at the student with dead eyes for 30 seconds in dead silence then said "you just got knocked down a full letter grade. Any other smart asses? Didn't think so." and pushed up his glasses with his index finger.

I remember telling myself this guy will either be super successful or kill himself.

this merger could be big. /lit/ is undoubtedly the intellectual hub of our generation, if we introduced the positive influence of fitness and well being we could create a new generation of empowered enlightened Ubermensch

look at /pol/'s recent effects on world politics, and that's a bunch of insecure brainlet lanklet nazis.

imagine, we could hellenize the modern world.

>>18860

Thanky-doodle neighborino. No more /fraud/ talk needed. I'm not ready to pin quite yet, but I'll keep it in mind someday. I promised myself I'd be better than the stupid 1/2/3/4 meme before I considered it. I did it, but it still feels too early.
