How are you relaxing on this lazy tuesday afternoon, /lit/?
>>7789247
OMG! Get that cold can off that book!
I got memed so I'm starting with the Greeks.
Just finnished the third song of the Illiad and I'm liking it so far.
It's about as much work as reading the bible but it's way more rewarding and enjoyable to me (as an atheist).
Now I'm going to watch some Louis Theroux
cringeworthy cap to be honest
shitposting /lit/ at work
BEER AND BOLANO BABY
It's 23.52 where I am and I'm going to bed because I have to work. Might read some Batman comic though before I fall asleep.
I just got a short story rejected and was turned down from a freelance opportunity in the span of a few hours. I'm feeling kind of shitty right now, honestly. Probably going to go get some tacos.

Lol that hat

> lazy tuesday afternoon
Nah, editing my dissertation late at night, shit's mentally exhausting. I'd rather be reading muh Moby Dick or watching a film but I also really, really want to succeed, so y'know…
>>7789472
What's your dissertation about?
i'm about to walk down to a bbq place and apply to be a bartender there. might get a haircut. will probably stop by a coffee place and read some of the brothers karamazov and the critique of pure reason before starting an lsat study session
>>7789475
Shelley and the Hellenistic ideal
>>7789490
>shit's mentally exhausting
>editing my dissertation
>Shelley and the Hellenistic Ideal
it's like you didn't even read the book baka
>>7789247
I write for a living, does that count?
>>7789247
I'm shitposting on 4chan, drinking a sobe, waiting for my lack of antipsychotics to kick in.
>>7789516
Why are you on antipsychotics?
>>7789475
The other anon isn't me, my dissertation is on the depiction of the consequences of war in Japanese post-war cinema. Not /lit/ related, but it's what I'm writing.
>>7789533
Short answer: I'm psychotic.
Long answer: I had the subjective experience of having a dragon living in my head that sometimes took possession of me. In addition to that, I had extreme tension, cold sweats, delusions of speaking out loud when I wasn't, and delusions of speaking to crows and ravens.
>>7789540
What kind of dragon?
>>7789546
Western red female dragon
>>7789550
Nice
Fistbump OP
>>7789550
What did she tell you?
>>7789550
long as it's not the blue-horned eastern firedrake. those things are the worst.
>>7789555
Mostly that I was stupid, disgusting, worthless, pathetic, and boring, that she didn't want to be in my head, that I needed to do something important with my life, read more, take the initiative... stuff like that.
>>7789560
Sounds like she's a regular on /lit/.
I've been playing gta v all day long. Just got it. Lit related I've been off and on reading the Metamorphosis and Infinite Jest. Although I'm not doing any serious reading. Kind of be in a slump lately.
I'm working as a stand-in for CNN, while they set up for the upcoming GOP debate.
>>7789568
Yeah, she'd probably do a better job with my life/body than I would, except she might wind up killing someone first.
>>7789586
Sounds actually like she's giving you some solid advice. Why not trust her more? Just lay off the pills for a while and see how it goes. It mostly a scam of the pharma industry anyway.
>>7789247
>I'm a fag enabler
>>7789585
>working
>>7789593
I'm weaning myself off anyway because apparently in the long term they result in worse health outcomes and brain shrinkage, so we'll see how it goes. I sure hope she comes back. /x/ says she will, but they also said that the plane that hit the south tower was actually malaysia flight 370
>>7789585
Lump sum of $150, son
>>7789615
I wouldn't pay too much attention to what /x/ says but being in direct contact with your inner voice is actually a blessing. Let's hope you'll find her again and next time make sure you listen to her, no matter what. I'm sure you'll feel better then.
>>7789247
>>7789425
So we /drinksonbooks/ nows?
>>7789413
Same situation as you, was already busy with the Greeks but decided to do it all over and this time with some effort.
Just finished the second book of the Illiad. Fitzgerald isn't an easy translation though I have to say, he uses plenty of archaic terms that I am not familair with.
just about to roll out of bed now ...
>>7789685
lol faggot
>>7789685
"i woke up this mornin' and i got myself a beer..."
>>7789685
>LOL NEWTON WAS A FAG
>>7789685
Beware, that is an old as fuck pilsner. They've had red tabs for a few years now.
>>7789247
ugh, horrible taste. you're like the upper crust of /b/, and you should go back there. why did you buy such a small can of Arizona? shocking.
Can't be bothered posting a picture but it would be a can of fanta on an old penguin classics copy of crime and punishment
>>7789657
ayy how you liking it friend?
>>7789657

Just chilling with a decent indica.
>>7789495
It's from Stoner you pleb
>>7791986
>

>>7789615
Can you tell your dragon friend to come live in my head instead? I could use the company.
>>7789247
Old pic, I remember since I freaked the fuck out the first time I saw it since that is a Scribners first edition copy of For Whom The Bell Tolls.
>>7789247
>arizona sweet tea

>>7792013

>>7792013
Reading Joyce stoned is the shit

>>7789247
I literally just picked up that copy! Mine is a first print, cost me less than the paperback on amazon.
I just finished a paper for my metaphysics class and am lying in bed browsing for a while before doing some reading for a class tomorrow. I should do some laundry because I'm going to mexico city for a week, leaving tomorrow evening. Too comfy/lazy at the moment, might even take a nap.
>>7792085
really? I will try this in a few hours desu
Dabs and oil paints
>>7792076
I know the feeling
>you were born too late to learn in an era where you could master every discipline and become a true renaissance man
>>7792076
At least that is productive.
>tfw lots of great books
>tfw lots of great projects
>tfw spend more time thinking about doing these things that actually doing them
>tfw literally doing that right now
Just finished studying for my Phil midterm over green tea
Now I'm going tosmoke industrial amounts of marijuanaand enjoy this rainy afternoon

>>7793272

>>7793344
>>7793435
>>7792013
its easier to get into the atmosphere of the book
>>7792085
one of my favorite memories of last summer was biking up to a graveyard on a large hill with a view and smoking while reading Joyce there.
>>7789516

Woke up next to my girlfriend. Im on the porch reading Augustine, sipping coffee while she sleeps. This is the only life worth living
>>7795291
It gets even better when you get married, anon.
I got in a fight with my gf last night. Now I'm in bed alone reading stoner and feeling better about myself.

>>7789425
Is that milk in fucking tea? Good lord.
>>7795329
>feeling better about myself
Are you sure you're reading Stoner?Unless there's some schadenfreude going on qua Edith making any relationship problems you have seeming insignificant in comparison
>>7797166
That's exactly it. Schadenfreude. What a great word.
>>7791346
it's a water bottle. the purelife kind
Procrastinating on my last mid-term work. Browsing /lit/ but will probably stop soon.
Reading in bed. No drink desu, too much work and would make a mess.
>>7797418

Did you fake having nerve pain?
>>7792013
>he doesnt read pynchon while permahigh
