When you write something do you use your real name or a pen name? I like to go by the name of Benito Camelo.

Why are Light Novels so popular when they are so incredibly poorly written?
What I've noticed through basically every LN i've ever read from Spice and Wolf too Haruhi is how much fucking narration is on literally every single action or event, instead of writing a scene and letting it play out naturally letting the reader interpret it in whatever way they wish, LN's handhold the reader too an overbearing extent with narration on what is constantly going down. You will never learn what a character is like from their actions, the novel will always tell you...

Can you read Japanese?
If not, what are you yapping about? You read two translated light novels and act like you know everything?
>>7740586
Because they are easy to read, and have anime girls in the cover.
Why else?
Kino's Travels is up there with the best of Borges.
What's your guilty literary pleasure, /lit/?
Pic semi related
Genre fiction apparently.
God I love Hitler so much
Lovecraft in general. I have a thing for the incomprehensible and the pre-Cambrian horrors that Lovecraft dreams up. They're also cozy reads
What are some novels that accurately portray pirates? I'm talking about full on scurvy, rape, and man on man butt sex.
Ok, so I got Catcher from a friend, this edition, and, first, I gotta say, the first pages, "ow the edge" and second, is this edition pic related worth having or is it heavily edited? Also, second pic I post is older, with a much more interesting cover, how much is it worth on good condition?
This one is the one I'm asking if it's worth anything.

It's his worst book, but it's also better than anything Vonnegut ever wrote.
Thinking of writing a novel based on a dream journal I've been keeping. I don't know if it would be interesting though. Recently, every dream I've had and been able to remember has been very trippy. I want to write a novel that has no apparent plot or storyline and is completely up to the reader for interpretation. I want the audience to be able to make what they want of the content. Is this a good idea, or a destined flop?
hard to do well but if you don't try you'll never know.
You will never be able to write it. I always have dreams where I have great ideas for movies or books and I'm so hyped on them in my dreams and they seem so good. Then when I wake up and think about it they make no fucking sense. Dreams are weird. Although lucid dreams kick ass. Every time I go lucid the closest person to me in my dream ends up getting there head pushed down to my cock and is forced to give me a bj. Good times.

It sounds like the kind of thing I, for one, live to read. Mind you, most people do not share this taste and even in the unlikely case that your little Traumnovelle is well written, it is destined to obscurity and "cult status" among a few weirdos and neetos.
The Brothers Karamazov were originally published chapter by chapter in a journal. Isn't that the 19th century equivalent of having a youtube channel? Does that make Dostoyevsky a pleb writer (at least in his own age)?
Several chapters, like the Great Inquisitor, got published individually later. Was this something like memeing back then?
Pic unrelated.
In that sense Ulysses would be a plebian book as well
Yes, that's exactly what youtubers do nowadays, tell stories about religion and humanity in general.

That would probably be me

Book orders are due today, class
What are you ordering?
>>7740322
Fuck, I remember getting my first GooseBumps book from one of these.
I would buy whatever book came with the coolest gadget and then never read it
the meme trilogy
I really enjoyed this book. could someone recommend me something similar to this?
>>7740415
shut up

You'd really like Emmaus by Baricco, if you can't find it or don't wanna buy it I'll link you to an epub or .mobi when I wake up (^:

>Those noble free-spirited women who have made education and elevation of the female sex their task should not overlook one consideration: marriage, according to its highest conception as a friendship between the souls of two human beings of different sex, in other words, as it is hoped for in the future, concluded for the purpose of begetting and educating a new generation-- such a marriage, which uses the sensual, as it were, only as a rare means to a greater end, probably requires, I fear, a natural aid: concubinage...A good wife-- who is supposed to...

How do you get to that conclusion?
All he says is that women don't like sex as much as men because they have too much other shit on their mind.
>>7740255
He says *concubinage*, which you can't really equate to sex in general. Concubinage means being sexual loyal to one man.
do you know what the word concubine means you dolt
Seriously what the fuck was this about?
WHAT THE FUCK BOOK IS THIS
>>7740211
A banned book that was last printed in 1987 but copies have been floating around since then.
is this a real book cover?
am i being meme'd?
is that the real title?
Does anyone else almost always skip the introduction of books when they are written by a different person? I just don't care, I want to get to what I actually bought, not some 30 page rambling by someone I don't know that only vaguely relates to what I'm about to read.
I go on /lit/ and do that all the time though.
I was close to skipping the foreword in steppenwolf
Invariably depends on who's writing it.
Is this the power of latin american literature?
>>7740158
Fuck off, dross
>>7740158
I still would read that before that cancerous piece of shit that faggot sissy boy Rubius published.
Fuck youtube
>>7740158
Youtuber's books are fucking terrible. Those faggots get popular and that helps them to sell shit books like that Rubius retarded "troll book".
Which is the better FOSS ePUB reader?
>>7740140
Are you talking about software since you mention FOSS, OP? If I'm reading an ePub on a computer, I just use the one bundled in with Calibre, although it's not the most robust. On my phone, I convert to pdf with cropped borders.
>>7741154
Yes, Free and Open Source Software, FOSS.
Why calibre (lower case) is the best?

I'm not really enjoying your tone very much.
“. . . the discovery of the Jewish virus is one of the greatest revolutions that has taken place in the world. The battle in which we are engaged today is of the same sort as the battle waged, during the last century, by Pasteur and Koch. How many diseases have their origin in the Jewish virus! ... We shall regain our health only be eliminating the Jew.”
was he right?
>>7740108
wow, this is the first thing he's ever written that makes sense.
>>7740108
Yes.
Read the Culture of Critique, the Jewish Revolutionary Spirit, and Jewish Supremacism.
