How hard can you push that shit scribble? It's not even funny nor particularly observant.

>>7821323
>americans pushing the 'twain is worth something' meme

I'd be less embarrassed about Lovecraft than Twain if I were you.

>>7821323

how is any of that relevant to the quality of the writing itself?

>hurr HE FUGGED BITCHES XD

JUST AN AWFUL THREAD

NO REAL HUMOR THUS FAR

THESE THREADS ARE GETTING WORSE BY THE MONTH

I WANT QUA/LIT/Y TO RETURN

Posting my harvested lit gems

>>7822428
Hahahahaha xD

>>7822428
That's not even funny

Are you like 13 or some shit?

>>7822426
Trolley problem jokes are always funny, m8

>>7821777
This is not humor. This makes me angry.

>>7822430
How come? I find it funny.
Im 23 years young

>>7822431
The problem with that is it needs context. This >>7821289 isn't really funny on its own (the explanatory text was cropped out)

>>7821288
This however is funny, and an exception to this shit thread.

>>7822437
You're 23 points below the average IQ.

Stop ruining this board and leave.

Bait answer: DFW
My real answer: Fernando Pessoa, fuck him.

>>7822446
He wrote poetry, not prose.

>>7822443
It depends of your mood. When i took the screenshot it was hilarious for me. Im sure youll be able to apreciate some other time.
Also lol u mad bro?

>>7822447
What do you mean? The riddle only asks about a last novel, not poetry or prose.

Both writer's last novels (White king, book of disquiet respectively) were left unfinished.

>>7822455
Oops I meant pale king fuck all of you

>>7822439
Well, /lit/ jokes require a knowledge of the literary or philosophical context behind the joke, and that makes them funnier. Better than >>7822428 which is some shitty "ur mum" joke that could be understood by illiterate subhumans.

>>7821289 is funny if you know the idea of the trolley problem beforehand, because the guy holding the lever loses all control once the train begins multi-track drifting.

>>7821323
Twain is actually dreadful.

kek

I'm curious as to how the rest of the academic world views Zizek. Is he just a meme to them like he is to us, sort of like the court jester, the village idiot, the amusing buffoon? I can't imagine anyone taking him seriously.

>>7822534
Well it depends on the specific fields I suppose. Maybe lit theory professors take him seriously (and he definitely is being studied there, some friends that study comparative literature confirmed it), but I'm guessing cognitivists that dominate the psychological field consider him some Lacanian obscurantist. As for continental philosophy, most probably acknowledge him as a serious philosopher despite knowing about his jokes, obscenities and copy/pasted books. During my time as a philosophy student (bachelor's and master's) I rarely heard his name mentioned by actual professors, but they did take the discussion and concepts seriously every time a student brought him up (and they did quite a few times since he's popular).

He's mememing you, newfag
Funny isn't a property of an object, it's only ascribed to one.

>lel u activated his trapcard m8
every time

>>7822525
lol this represents /lit/ so well

>>7822572
Never heard of him in my social science course (Urbanism) but we did study many of his close collegues (Mouffe, Laclau)

>>7822525
the two types of /lit/ browsers.

which one are you, anon?

>>7822876
The second one is pretty spot on for me, except I don't drink, am good at things, control my body language to convey what I want and I don't believe other people are better than me. But the rest hits home.

>>7822896
you're a twinky little ginger mouseling?

this I cannot believe, anon

>>7822901
Well no, neither twinky nor ginger mouseling. I've got the standard issue brown-eyes brown-hair combo and the thinnest I've been was 'not fat'. I sometimes wish I was a thin fuck so I don't have to stare at my gut every time I look down. Do thin people really don't have abs?

>>7822922
>standard issue brown-eyes brown-hair combo

people like us aren't worth an overturned spadeful of earth

the LEAST entertaining thread ive EVER seen

>>7822922
>I sometimes wish I was a thin fuck so I don't have to stare at my gut every time I look down.
don't act like you don't constantly wish you weren't fat, you aren't fooling anyone but yourself

In literature class, kekked at this one the professor was like what the fuck, man?

>>7822668
Me finding it funny is a good enough reason to post

>>7822922
tfw no you bf

>>7822935
Even worse if you've got a really common like John or Jack. Like we're templates or something.

>>7822975
Hey you have a tripcode. Why do you have one?
Also I work out so most of the time I'm ok with my body. The way I see it it's Fit> skinnyFit > chubbyFit > twinky > fat. I'm right down in the middle.

>>7822471
You must be fun at parties

>Implying you get invited to parties

>>7823072
because i want to give my fans peace of mind

why don't you just eat less, then you can skip right to the top of your own hierarchy

>>7822471
>your physique is grand
>for yourself

>>7823119
It's pretty hard. I'm currently trying to do exactly that but it takes a lot of effort to go every day of the month almost starving

I get that you want your identity associated with your posts, but why don't you just fill out the name normally? Afraid someone might impersonate you?

>>7823149
don't listen to the rude goys
tfw no chubby fit bf

>>7823149
it'll be worth it when you join the lean n clean master race

i honestly just am in the habit of using a trip, i don't think anyone would ever pretend to be me and i wouldn't care if they did, the more of me the better

but on other boards i used to change my name all the time and keep the same trip so i'm used to seeing it and prefer how it looks

>>7822525
shit man that's kinda like me

>>7823097
i man i fucking loved these

>>7822958
Yes, but we had good threads like this, just last month. I don't know when the shitlords from mu/pol/r9k/r-eddit will fuck off, but I'll be counting.

I actually included this picture at the end of an essay I did on this problem. It was a pretty chill class.

>>7821777
I found this kind of funny until I saw the hashtag and realized that this is actually criticizing Dante instead of just being a humorous contemporary way to look at a god-tier classic

>>7822434
>>7822516

Because it is true.

>>7823074
Why is that penis there.

>>7822870
