/lit/ :
60% DFW
30% Ulysses
9% >memes
1% valuable content
Is there another site like this but somewhat serious?
Uhhh where is Pynchon........
for every molecular drop of seriousness, 99% of the 1% valuable content evaporates
would you rather have 1% valuable content + memes, or an endless reddit universe of
>Uh, I take posturing about literature on the Internet very seriously uh excuse me sir uh I think you'll find my opinions are very serious indeed
>UPVOTE UPVOTE UPVOTE UPVOTE UPVOTE UPVOTE UPVOTE UPVOTE UPVOTE
THOSE ARE YOUR TWO CHOICES
ENJOY THE HUMAN RACE
FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>/lit/
there has to be more
...right?
>>7851564
This is actually a good point, a focus on serious discussion would just encourage blowhards to pretend they know what they're talking about.
When there's a quality post on lit, it's an extremely quality post. I recall a thread about Nietszche from about a month back that was some top tier shit.

Books. Somehow people have it in their minds that you must go on 4chan or reddit. Most people go on neither.
thanks for posting this thread and adding actual valuable content though OP
>>7851575
I just called out a blowhard yesterday
>>7851575
The way I've heard it put best is that 4chan is full of smart people pretending to be stupid while reddit is filled with stupid people pretending to be smart.
>>7851756
>smart people
>here
>>7851756
Actually 4chan is full of stupid people pretending to smart people pretending to be stupid
>>7851756
Reddit has some smart people on like the science-related subs btw. But they're science-smart rather than smart in general

>thanks for posting this thread and adding actual valuable content though O
Never was my intention, I just want to find a better place
>>7851786
you're here forever. sorry.
>>7851763
4chan is full of people. there are thousands, lets not generalize
>>7851818
4chan can't be full of people, it's not a physical space. There are no people in 4chan.
Have you tried looking outside of the internet?
>>7851825
no humans here, only disembodied shitposting
>The fourth stage is pure simulation, in which the simulacrum has no relationship to any reality whatsoever. Here, signs merely reflect other signs and any claim to reality on the part of images or signs is only of the order of other such claims. This is a regime of total equivalency, where cultural products need no longer even pretend to be real in a naïve sense, because the experiences of consumers' lives are so predominantly artificial that even claims to reality are expected to be phrased in artificial, "hyperreal" terms. Any naïve pretension to reality as such is perceived as bereft of critical self-awareness, and thus as oversentimental.
>>7851829
How?
I'm 100% serious here. I have friends; none of them read what I do. Now what?
Do I just go up to people in a book store or a coffee shop and ask them what kind if stuff they like?
Seems a bit weird.
>>7851873
stop grasping for connection you autistic filth
>>7851878
You missed the point completely. This thread is specifically about finding a place to discuss literature. Some guy suggested looking outside the internet.
I'm not "grasping for connection" and I'm not devoid of all human contact.
It is a bit imperative that the people you discuss literature with actually read and enjoy it.
>>7851923
rather you missed my point and through that confirmed it
>>7851756
4chan is stupid people pretending they don't go on reddit
>>7851999
Can you please explain?
>>7851873
>I have friends; none of them read what I do. Now what?
this
isn't the internet THE tool to find people akin to your tastes?
>>7851573
Man I got downvoted once for posting an author's opinion. I did not say it was my opinion, but apparently that was the implication.
where are the rainbow cocksuckers haha u see what i did that senpai
>>7851841
Now you are just tryharding bruh
>>7851756
/lit/ doesn't count in that definition though. /lit/ is more like Reddit than the rest of 4chan because it takes itself too seriously
>>7852088
Nah, you're just not good at recognizing irony.
look what I just got
>>7852105
Memed?
>>7852112
lol nah it's good so far you cunt
Tbh guys do you know of any other sites for discussing literature. Not that /lit/ is that terrible (its no /ck/ tho) but I was wondering if there were other decent options.
>>7852117
yeah TPK is dope af
>check the catalog
>0 DFW threads
>0 Ulysses threads
Are you sure you aren't exaggerating OP?
>>7852085
>proving his point
