>It must be a fearfully lecherous thing to see a girl with her clothes up frigging furiously at her cunt, to see her pretty white drawers pulled open behind and her bum sticking out and a fat brown thing stuck half-way out of her hole. You say you will shit your drawers, dear, and let me fuck you then. I would like to hear you shit them, dear, first and then fuck you. Some night when we are somewhere in the dark and talking dirty and you feel your shite ready to fall put your arms round my neck in shame and shit it down softly. The sound will madden me...

Who's your favorite Shakespearean villain and why?
finally the question which cannot be answered with 'my diary, desu'
I'd consider Falstaff a villain because he represents the bad that is inside Hal put simply and sloppily... He's also hilarious.

>What's your opinion on English instructors consistent use of the following literary theories?
much prefer it in philosophy rather than in shallow comp-lit
any interesting and revolutionary aspects of any of these theories are disabled exactly because they are made theories for literary analysis

How do I escape the stupidity of adolescence? I realize how stupid I am, but I just can't stop making idiotic decisions and keep acting like a cringy anime character.
And sorry for any grammar mistakes, english is not my first language and I'm still learning it.

Review brah?
Has an autismo ever produced great literature? What about decent? Serious question.
Finnegans Wake is a novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It is significant for its experimental style and reputation as one of the most difficult works of fiction in the English language.
Of course it has, guys like Houellebecq are evidence.

Does the entirely of analytic philosophy count as literature?
Is there anything else like this? I just love his style of writing. It's so rich and abstract and just sounds so incredibly human.

What do you "have to say"?
I hear it's important for novelists to "have something to say".
uhh... you literally posted a picture proving the opposite
paul auster has made a whole career on having nothing to say (and written some good books, too)
>>8138326
It's a retarded and deluded statement.
I want to write about navigating identity, living in the margins of society, on love and optimism, I want to narrate a dreamy aesthetic, breaking down barriers, being stuck in bed with depression like an anchor around your throat, double entendre and visual puns, why I'm right about everything, a soft touch on the nape of your neck, dead sparkling eyes, the sound of an ocean crashing over and over and drowning out your mind.
>author is ugly
>William Vollmann
I really like You Bright and Risen Angels but jesus christ if Vollmann isn't the goofiest hick looking motherfucker.

>In June, Mr. Patterson will release BookShots, a new line of short and propulsive novels that cost less than $5 and can be read in a single sitting. Mr. Patterson will write some of the books himself, write some with others, and hand pick the rest. He aims to release two to four books a month through Little, Brown, his publisher. All of the titles will be shorter than 150 pages, the length of a novella.
>Mr. Patterson said the books would be aimed at readers who might not want to invest their time in a 300- or 400-page...
