wtf is mouth

>>7700136
I think it would be style, but I can't be sure.

I am OP and I didn't make the graph. Just took it from here years ago in a thread. Though I remember finding, by accident, the blog of the person who made this.

So feel free to guess where they would fit.

>>7700213

I guess I'm just having a difficult time comprehending what heart and mouth are supposed to be and if the overlap even matters.

>>7700115
Head = Writing attempting to be rational or constructed by means of analytical skills.
Heart = Emotional content & writing from the heart.
Mouth = Prose & Style

OR

Head = They focus on what they think
Heart = They focus on what they feel
Mouth = They focus on style.
?

>>7700218
I would say Head writers are writers who write a lot about ideas... They have a more philosophical aproach.

Heart writers are writers who tend to give a lot of feeling into their writing.

And Mouth writers worry a lot about their style.

Not all writers are only one of these options. Sometimes you can have a writer who is very philosophical but has also a very strong aproach for their feeling (Heart).

But whatever, I may be wrong and this is not about the thread.

I'm going to give you what I have, not going to shove in more to fill it out. I'm a pleb but I actually do read the books and philosophers I talk about so that's a little better than most of /lit/

>Diogenes of Sinope
>Kierkegaard
>Marx
>sniffingslovenian.jpg (I know he's just quoting Lacan and Hegel most of the time and I'll get around to them but for now I'm enjoying Slavoj)

>Hemingway

>TS Eliot
>Yeats
>Walt Whitman

Okay now tell me why I'm shit

>>7700115
Plath should be in mouth

because the gas didn't enter through her heart

>>7700256

Did that honestly sound funny to you or were you just hoping that was "edgy" enough to amuse other children?

>>7700255
Do you only read English speaking authors (outside the philosopher ones)? Try the Russians, the Germans and the French.

Just some rec:
>Cortázar
>Unamuno
>Nietzsche
>Tolstoy
>Octavio Paz
>Céline

>>7700234
Again, I didn't make the graph. But I would bet on the first.

>>7700264
Sorry I'll put it in a way that's as humorless as you. Plath was all talk and her suicide was the most notable thing about her writing.

>>7700285
Gonna read some Tolstoy next. I've also read Dostoyevsky(sp?) and he's English speaking but Joyce, Notes and Portrait respectively. Loved both books but didn't feel right saying they were some of my favorite authors having only read one of each.

Also, I only speak English and I don't hear great things about translations.

>>7700306

No need to go full 14 year old just because nobody laughed at your "joke"

>>7700202
Hello gasskun

>>7700308
Don't be afraid of translation. They cannot be the work in itself, but that doesn't mean they are bad. The work of the translator is to rewrite the book. It's a fine art.

And don't worry, you just need to read more. Take your own time on that.

Why do you chose these categories?
Why not mathematicians? Filmmakers?
What about physicists, physicians, philanthropists and psychologists?

Who is your top theologist and who is your top preacher?

>>7700332
St. Augustine is my top theologian.

I like you.

It seems the infantile children of this board can not handle the "real" literature discussion where we post our reading list without comment and would rather post "jokes." When will these babies "learn"

>>7700376
Who are you angry at?

>>7700378
Someone told me my admittedly lame joke was bad in the most pretentious and faggy way possible, so I assume he wanted a flame war.

>>7700180
He's good, I'd say he's my favourite nationa writer. Most people here hate it or find him boring because his stories and characters tend to be a bit depressing.

I'll try...

I appreciate that, and thanks for the recs

I mean uh yeah I'm totally assmad saltcare that some dumb undergrad scoffed at my post and twirled his hipster stache. Don't mind me I'll just be waiting for this master of wit to show me how it's done by reposting shadow the hedgehog screencaps or something.

You just heard he was the best living philosopher, didn't you?

I don't read enough poetry to have an informed opinion. I liked most of what I read from Machado, Parra and Lorca tho. I guess some recs in this regard would be nice.

Actually, I dunno what I was thinking. Kripke needs to be scrubbed out and replaced with Kant. What a dumb omission.
