Yeah Marx wrote several thousand plus page volumes, complete with dense footnotes and references to Feuerbach, Hegel, the French socialists, Smith and Ricardo in order to appeal to poor, dumb "loosers."

How much have you read about Marxism? Probably the same amount that about feminism, and your perception of both probably is equally correct.

I'm going to write a fantasy story that might as well be a Ligotti story in a fantasy setting. I'm going to take this genre beyond GRI, watch me.

>>8246726
Please do, I'm sick of everything being an edgy GRRM derivative.

Has anybody ever done an alien terraforming story before, or no, has the idea not been done before? If not, I think I just brainstormed.

So atheism was such a dubious and improbable position to them that it wasn't worth taking the risk of espousing it. Thanks for clearing that up.

Christians risked their life to spread belief in God, why couldn't atheists do the same for the god of materialism?

Come on now. I agree for Plato and Aristotle (although even then, it's very possible they did believe in a God, just not the christian one of course), but why these?

my diary desu

shieetttt

So, my friend gifted me infinite jest. Then my sister got me 2666.

I chose 2666 over IJ, and I'm roughly 100 pages in. Impressed so far, even though nothing really happens.

>>8243387
Damn fucking brutal. Ulysses is of comparable length and it's made me laugh out loud a couple times (call it 5-9?) at 412 pages in. The prose is gorgeous and you learn some daedal words.

Also, there's no DRM on cracked, local .epub files. Your copy of 1984 isn't going to disappear over a copyright dispute (This actually happened with Amazon Kindle - buyer fucking beware.)

After having to move twice in the same year, in and out of a 2nd story apartment, with a couple hundred pounds of books I am pretty dead-set on picking up a Kobo on Cyber Monday

Why would anyone need more? No point in having over 2000 books on one device at one time.

The rules the universe operates under are arbitrary and not designed but everything happens according to those rules

Accept Jesus

Everything happens for a random and chaotic reason.

He's not really any more accessible than the whole of the /lit/ starter kit.

His writing sucks

He's should be an inspiration to all 4channers honestly. He proves that you can spend your young adult years a bitter, degenerate virgin, and still have a successful and acclaimed life ahead of you.

>Romanticism

i dont think that means what you think it does. cause germans were perfect for it. i cant imagine how frenchies would have done it.

english romanticism was better anyways

Regarding the plural of you, "you" is actually also the plural. "You lot" isn't particularly common but nonetheless correct (however could be seen as condescending). The correct plural is "ye" but that's archaic (isn't used anymore).

Also, certain dialects include other variations such as "yous", which is used in the North East of England where I am from, and "y'all" which, as I am lead to believe, is mainly what American hillbillies use....

Also, colons (:) are used when listing something e.g.

There are many things to do in Switzerland: hiking, skiing, snowboarding etc.

Or when stating a clause that directly relates to the previous clause e.g.

There is only one problem with Windows: it is very unreliable.

Semi colons (;) are slightly more complicated. They can be used to separate things in lists when the things are sentences as opposed to words e.g.

There are many things to do in Switzerland: you can go hiking in the...
