What exactly do you mean by reading level? Like lexile loves?
Reading level test? Are you really that insecure?
Just read this. I thought it was a great read, especially considering current events in Europe and the US.

Let's do a Pulp thread.
Doc Savage, The Shadow, Buck Rogers, Lost World,HP Lovecraft
I'm a big fan of old pulp stuff, and looking to finally read all the Doc Savage stuff. Is anyone else into pulp? What are you reading?
The destroyer series is pulpy as fuck. There was also another pulpy one about a lesbian assassin or so something like that. Maybe someone can post it here.
There's also a decent pulp scene on Amazon. If you like trashy writing, Amazon is the place to go.
I dont think anyone here actually reads pulp
I love pulp. Just read 20,000 leagues under the sea for the first time. Was shocked at how good it started out. Book stops dead in its tracks once they get on board the nautilus though.
Post books for men. I've had enough of the touchy feely nancy boy crap always posted on /lit/

Hello /lit/
I know this isn't /mu/, but I have a question about music for all the writers that browse /lit/.
What do you listen to when you write? Do you prefer silence when you write?
Whenever I do listen to music while I write, I've been listening to EAI and musique concrete stuff or sometimes instrumental jazz and chamber music.
I'm looking for recommendations. What works for you?
For a second I thought the question might be relevant. Another useless opinion thread.
>>7897298
I promise I'll post a thread where we can discuss the aesthetic qualities of music in the future.
For now I'm just looking for album recs.
