The Christians compiled their canon in the bible, is it time for /lit/ to compile our philosophical canon?
>>7665663
What do you want out of this garbage thread. People to fight over a consensus and accomplish nothing, or to samefag over and over to pretend to come to a consensus. What a shitty thread. Fuck you.

Hey /Lit.
I live in England and was thinking about succeeding Carol Ann Duffy as Poet laureate. Million to one shot, I know, but was curious. What kind of stuff would I have to do to get a cushy job like that?

>be a shitskin
>make poetry about oppression
>>7665075
Ahh. I can probably fake the second and third. Bit of blacking-up required.

Compared to existing "young adult" genre completely decent beach reads.
I dare to say it even promotes good morality, friendship and it's not pretending to be something it's not.
>bestsellers have always been top tier literature
Stephen King seems to have an issue with this, not realizing there are millions of others better than he is and always have been.
ya know the books are shit but the covers look kinda cool.
Do people are still writing fiction because afraid of being wrong
Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?
You can make the argument that non-fiction is more prone to wrong than fiction
Hi /lit/. I've been diagnosed with MDD and need something simple and uplifting to read until my next session. On a real downer at the minute. I've just finished Alice in Wonderland.
>>7663102
the little prince is bittersweet but uplifting i'd say
>>7663118
Thanks m80. Doesn't have to be child lit, but I have found it is very good to read when feeling down.
How difficult is this in comparison to JR or Recognitions?
>>7662773
Closer to JR - Recognitions is more ambitious.
>>7662773
It's his most difficult book and it's really nothing like those other two
It's just straight up stream of consciousness. If you like those two books you'll love it though.

Prisoners
BY DENISE LEVERTOV
Though the road turn at last
to death’s ordinary door,
and we knock there, ready
to enter and it opens
easily for us,
yet
all the long journey
we shall have gone in chains,
fed on knowledge-apples
acrid and riddled with grubs.
We taste other food that life,
like a charitable farm-girl,
holds out to us as we pass—
but our mouths are puckered,
a taint of ash on the tongue.
It’s not joy that we’ve lost—
wildfire, it flares
in dark or shine as it will.
What’s gone
is common happiness,
plain bread we could eat
with the old apple of knowledge.
That old one—it griped us sometimes,
but it was firm, tart,
sometimes delectable ...
The ashen apple of these days
grew from poisoned soil. We are prisoners
and must eat
our ration. All the long road
in chains, even if, after all,
we come to
death’s ordinary door, with time
smiling its ordinary
long-ago smile.
What is /lit/'s opinion on the Dexter book series?
>>7662408
It got him millions of dollars and made him self-sufficient as a writer. That's more than what most authors dream of.
Although the show was much better, specially the first two seasons.
>>7663024
Are the incestual undertones between Dexter and Debra also in the book?
