Who else here can read shit written in other languages even if you don't know how to write/speak them? I'm spanish and I can easily read stuff in french, portuguese and italian. Never studied none of them.
this is bait

It isn't you anglo monolingual cuck.

The only romance language I can speak is French but I swear to god I can sort of understand Portuguese writing. I have no idea why but I just feel like I know what it says.

Which Philosophers do you think represent each individual 4chan board best?
I'll start:
/mlp/- Weird sexualised view of horses so Nietzsche
/r9k/- Absolute disdain for all women-Schopenhauer
/ck/- Epicurus perhaps?
/lit/ has been prominently represented in the Nausea by Sartre.
/out/- Heidegger
>>7868163
Nietzsches relation with horses wasn't sexual though ?
is the book worth reading?
>>7868032
As much as the film is worth watching.
>>7868032
Yeah, it's pretty fun. A lot of anons here talk about reading up on the politics of Russia at the time to get into the Brothers S but it's completely unnecessary. They're just enjoyable reads.
Roadside Picnic > S.T.A.L.K.E.R. > Stalker

How is the game better than the movie..?
I mean it was fun and all, but, how does it have any merit above that?

I'll try checking out as much suggestions as I can.
I liked the part where there was only one word on an entire page.
Totally not a gimmick.
>>7868767
What is wrong with using a gimmick? You could say poetry is using gimmicks
>>7867568
why is /lit/ so mad at this book? I liked it, yes it was gimmicky, but it was good.
“The first of our kind has struck fear into the hearts of America,” announced one commenter last year on the giddily offensive /r9k/ board of the notorious, anarchic site 4chan. “This is only the beginning. The Beta Rebellion has begun. Soon, more of our brothers will take up arms to become martyrs to this revolution.” The post, dated October 1, was referring to the news that twenty-six-year-old Chris Harper-Mercer had killed nine classmates and injured nine others before shooting himself at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon.
The night before the shooting,...

>I think this is the best piece of journalism I have ever read about 4chan, what do you think?
probably, but that's not saying much as journalists tend to be pretty willfully? oblivous about internet culture in general and 4chan in particular
Do litizens use Twitter?
I'm curious.
yes. I use to loathe all social media but I made a twitter because some promotion needed an account to sign up. Now it consumes my life

No, I already have more than enough ways to waste my time.

Why should I use goodreads?

You shouldn't.
>>7866196
I like keeping track of what, and how much I read for future goal setting and what books I'd like to revisit.

Don't say that.
Can we have a discussion about this? I just finished reading it and none of my friends have, would like to hear others' opinions on it.
I don't read many books, but I am glad I had the chance to read this one.
So much wit, the blurry line between
humour and fucked up scenarios, everything felt so good.
It has great characters, which is one of the book's points, and a very nice writing ( at least as far as I can tell from a translation).
Funniest book I've ever read. I really liked it, but there's not that much to say.
I really enjoyed it, especially the chapter toward the end where Yossarian walks around the city.
Give me a short story that will leave me in tears, a book or play will do too. Please no meme answers.
In Search of Lost Time is a book that will bring out a lot of emotions
>>7865944
The ones that left me in tears were: The Sorrows of Young Werther, Crime and Punishment, The Doll, the abovementioned ISoLT.
I guess it'd be my first honest post on this board, god, it looks plebe af. Sorry guys, I tried so hard...
>>7866003
I've forgotten to add Master and Margarita. I guess I'm just more emotional when it comes to classics, Balladina have made me cry too, but idk about the translations of it, I'm polish and have read the original.
