How can he remember so many details of his infancy? What he did, what he ate and what he was wearing in a particular day thirty years before. Could you, anon?
He has to be making up most of the book.

If you had read Proust and understood his distinction between voluntary and involuntary memory you'd know the answer to this.

I have read it, I'd just forgotten.
What are the most beautiful sounding words, in any language? I like "Madrugada." It's Portuguese, referring to the time when the sky is blue just before sunrise.
C'est la d'or.

I am, and I'm very concerned about the state of my life right now. Do you have a clear idea of where you'd go if you did?

probably something like copyright law or soliciting.
Being a barrister would be awesome but desu it's probably dreaming too much.
So did aliens actually abduct him and is that why he's unstuck in time?
Or is he imagining it all in his head and basing what he believes off things he takes subconciously from his real life?
Because I think both arguments can be made.
or does it not matter.

You shouldn't even begin to read books unless you have your sound-proof earplugs secured firmly in each of your ears, so that no outside influence may disrupt the intellectual process.
Feeling pretty proud of my nation. What are some good russian authors? Not the big ones like tolstoy or gogol, ones that aren't discussed as much.

Is there a place where I can find like a bunch of autistic people writing what they believe to be self published literary masterpieces. not to make fun of them, But I just want to know what like super edgy people think is good in their perspective.
Just want to read self published shit but by really autistic people. As in autistic people writing what they believe to be Ulysses, not like an autistic person writing the next Dune. I only say that because i feel like autists have a penchant for science fiction and I want to see autistic literary fiction.
You're already here
>>7763892
But I feel like people don't actually post their self-published masterpieces
probably the closest thing you're going to get to that is the autistic super smash brothers fanfic, it's ongoing and also the longest piece of writing of all time
it's like the romace of the three kingdoms of autism
Finally just past the half-way mark, started in December.
Why do I suck so hard at Pynchon? I finished IJ + etcetera within 4 months or so.
Same thing happened to me with TCoL49, still took me like a month despite how short it is. I actually enjoy Pynchon but I feel like I revert to 1st grade reading level in his works.
Dune
its very long and I prefer short stories, but when I do read it I enjoy myself, so I'm sure I'll finish it.

And in general, did you see the world going this way (vis a vis technology, environment, socially, whatevs)?

Why are homosexual romances so patrician?
homosexuals are over-represented in the arts and spread this meme. it's not any more or less patrician than hetero romance.

The country of Ireland is approximately half the size of the state of Ohio.
Why are there so many more authors from Ireland than Ohio?
ohio is bland.
