I am a open pop music fanatic, I think it represents the hopes and dreams of the common people yo
>I think it represents the hopes and dreams of the common people yo
why would that be good?
>>7367477
It's not the hopes and dreams of the common people. It is the hopes and dreams that appeal to the widest and most marketable base. It's artificial and inauthentic garbage.
If you are approaching it from that perspective, you are just out of touch.

so there have been a few /lit/ literary journals in the past, but none in the last few years
recently I've seen ideology and pinecone, which is exciting, but when I look them up in the archives/warosu, they've been deleted
what fucking gives mods?
the hypersphere thread has been bumped for like two weeks and been made several times in the past months
heaven forbid a literary forum should actually try to make some lit or a lit group
I think you have to send an email to get a response.
Anons were trying to put together a Satori Sedai /lit/ zine but it went nowhere as far as I can see. They stopped responding to me too. I'm sad.
>a few /lit/ literary journals in the past

How do you deal with cold logic /lit/? I love engineering because of the creativity and personal touch involved, but for me math and science seems too impersonal. It seems that it heavily relies on some brain functions that can be named IQ. That is no artistry involved and the leap of genius is something impersonal that could be done by someone else in another time. If it wasn't for literature i would be quite alienated and paranoid.
tss why's it so cold did it forget its jacket or somethin i dunno
You have to live with the conflict of both until you die.

I study electrical engineering and passed through similar things, anon.
Until I realized what makes math and physics "unartistry" is the student eyes.
I personally find beauty in eletromagnetism, specially when the fields variate with time. But this only because I tried to focus not in "how to solve problems and get a good grade" but in why the equations are that (deductions, proves and such).
If you study math, physics or chemistry only to understand the method of solving problems,...

Let's discuss this, one of the greatest things ever written

Halfway through the second essay. I enjoy the part about mans desire for cruelty. This is my secret love and glittering. It resonated with me b/c I only get off to rape videos on heavy R or intense Painal videos
>>7367715
I see...
I enjoy jokes where everything goes wrong for the subject.

get the masses on her side through propaganda that sound strangely like leftist political views
She needs to determine a method and form a plan. Does she hope to get away with it or is she driven by wreck less hatred and rage?
hopefully kill the author of such a hack story
What are some books that are both funny and heartbreaking?
City of Thieves by David Benioff. I mean somebody other than me has had to have read it.
Mason&Dixon
Cannery Row

I hated this. Either the English translation sucks, or the writer was really not that good.
What's a good place to start with Marx? Aside from the obvious answer of 'The Communist Manifesto', I'm looking for a good collection of Marx's work that gives a good summary of his views without making me read several thousand pages. I've heard the Marx-Engels Reader is a good starting place, but I would have no idea.
Stirner's Critics
start with "Hello, I must be going".
Marx-Engels Reader is fine but I like to recommend "The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte" as the best introduction to Marx. A little more complicated but really much, much more rewarding than the manifesto - I started with the Manifesto and it put me off from Marx but I now consider him one of the greatest and most profound political and economic writers in history.
What is worth reading by Victor Hugo ?
Notre-Dame de Paris is magnificent

>>7366895
If you like reading long descriptions of Parisian geography and history.
>>7366895
His poetry if you can read French
His prose otherwise
How can you retain information if you don't subvocalize? I can get the general gist but details become harder to pick up.

Ever catch yourself watching a mini-movie in your head, and then you forget you're reading?
Just keep reading.

Literally no

You mean like when your really into a book, and you stop paying attention to the words, and instead picture what's happening inside the book, in you mind?
10 pager on Brave New world due tmo
any advice on how to start it?
Prompt below
• Brave New World argues that the quest for “happiness as the Sovereign Good” is the path toward dystopia. The most unhappy characters in the book are also the most human. Discuss. In our high-tech cyber-age does Huxley’s cautionary tale seem more or less relevant and compelling?
>any advice on how to start it?
yes, start it earlier than the day before it's due
>>7366847
that's real helpful senpai
>>7366847
This.
That being said freedom > happiness.
You should have the freedom to not be happy.
SO my classmate wants to start this group where people submit recordings of themselves reading stuff for a facebook page. So far the only two people who have submitted are me and her. How can I get people at my uni interested?

Probably not. But if it makes you happy till you die, fuck it tbqhwyf.
>>7366802
If you need to ask you're probably physically unattractive.

>tfw my librarian of my k-8 school bought books for the library because I wanted to read them.
I don't know dude. Make like a raffle thing- everytime you check out a book you get put in a raffle and at the end of the year you get like- a big ass box of chocolate or something. I mean, I'm assuming you're a teacher or a librarian or something, because why would you otherwise care? Like, an incentive is good to get them to start, and then if you're lucky they figure...
