What does /lit/ read beyond books (e.g. news sites, columns, blogs)?
>>8256697
Ross Douthat's column in NYT.
>>8256697
every once in a while i like to read comics. carl barks, hergè, enki bilal, etc. i'm even getting a bit into manga again: just read all of "lone wolf and cub" and "path of the assasin", next is "samurai executioner".
>>8256697
Comics and interviews, mostly.
>>8256697
Local news, and a nationwide daily paper. Östgöta Correspondenten and Svenska Dagbladet but you've probably never heard of them. Also some scientific journals to keep up with my field of work
>>8256697
WSJ and the comments to porn videos
>>8256758
Brother I am in Östgöta County _right now_. I don't like Corren though, but I dislike most local news.
Svenska Dagbladet is the best though. I actually made this thread because I was looking for more things like SvD Under Strecket (well-written random essays about culture, philosophy, etc).
Comics, political journalism, music criticism
Mostly just local news and the bi-monthly articles published by Immanuel Wallerstein on the website agenceglobal.com
>>8256794
Under strecket is god tier, I got into it while studying for SweSAT (HP)

seriously?
>>8256697
SEP and Wikipedia binges are fun.
>>8256697
The NYRB and Vanity Fair are both pretty decent, especially when they are writing exploratory pieces into some obscure murder in Monaco by an exiled post-war Royal and a gun runner.
Longreads is a great website as well.
>>8256817
>2016
>using Wikipedia and not Wikiwands
Wikiwands has the same material as Wikipedia but presents it with a much better design, such as night mode, etc. Check it out.
>>8256815
Yeah it's kind of like the NYT for me. Mostly shit, but there are some bright spots every so often, so I read it semi-regularly.
>>8256812
I knew few things that are as allmänbildande. Have you got any suggestions on more things like this, which are great for your bildnung in general?
I mean, I'm even watching The School of Life on YT and they're horrible - so my standards are low.
>>8256827
That looks neat. I'll try it out now.
>>8256837
They have addons which turns all wikipedia links you come across (such as on 4chan or google) into wikiwand redirect links
super neat
Euronews is the best news source.
>>8256832
Ingen tidning har lika vass kultursida som SvD, men DN:s kolumner är bitvis bra (om man undviker Wolodarski) och sen vill jag även slå ett slag för Fokus. Vet inte om de har något essäistiskt dock
>>8256881
Aldrig riktigt läst Fokus, så väl värt att ge det en chans nu då alltså. Tack kompis!
Och när vi två landsbröder ändå stött på varandra, kan jag passa på att fråga: vad tycker du är den bästa svenska boken?
Jag tycker Strindberg är rätt oslagbar själv, även om det kanske är lite plebej.
>>8256813
Wondering how spooked you are desu
The patrician list:
The Economist--To know what the Globalist masters want us to think
The New York Times--To know what the standard American liberal wants us to think
Harper's Weekly--Good reports
The Atlantic--Interesting but also lots of shitty articles on politically motivated topics
Foreign Affairs--Actually educated views on politics and foreign affairs
n+1--Nice long form stuff
Lapham's Quarterly--Weird and interesting
I need more art and literature stuff. Oh well.
>>8256920
Pretty darn spooked desu
Well since I'm drunk -- and, thus, feeling generous -- uh, I guess I'll drop some knowledge for you all, or at least some links that're better than what's been posted thus far. In return all I ask is that you'll please forgive my rambling because, as I tried to mention, I've been slammin glass after glass of dr. Pepper mixed with alcohol.
Uh so anyways, after reading all my newspaper(s), here's what I view every day as I'm coming up on my adderall:
Arts and Letters Daily -- the name p much explains it
http://www.aldaily.com
Longform -- Curated list of well written non-fiction. There's no focus on any particular topic, so the content is rarely /lit/ related, but it's curated by a graduate writing program the writing is consistently solid.
https://longform.org
3quarksdaily -- similar to arts and letters daily, but also links to articles about science and politics.
http://www.3quarksdaily.com
>>8256986
You've got to post more than three, with that kind of preamble.
>>8256986
Damn, I took too long to post and some real dudes posted some good shit in the meantime...
I'm laughing at the Ross douthat mentions thoug
>>8256989
Ok, let me get off of my fuckin iPad which, due to both ,u inebriation and this bullshit keyboard, is keeping me from unleashing the recommendations. Brb.
>>8256986
Being drunk is obligatory to confess something embarrassing and shameful about oneself, not just reply to common threads. So, Anon?
How am I supposed to concern myself with the news of 2016 when I still haven't even completed the Greeks?
Hey! It’s ya' boy: the Drunk-Dude. Please
excuse my rudeness, my absence and the fact that I’ve been gone long
I mixed a drink, and quelled my rumbling stomach by chompin’ on some hotdogs
all topped with dijon mustard, onions, and a tasty/toatsed bun…
I had at least 4, and a desert...
I guess I’m gluttonous and/or depressed and/or miserable, lol
Yeah, ok so, anyways
Let’s get this shit started with some of what, I think,
I hope, you’ll find as highly /lit/ relevant links.
>> /lit/-relevant links, I hope/think
Complete Review -- this site right here is, honest, all you're gonna need when it comes to world literature. Its scope asymptotically approaches exhaustive. Let me spell it out for you dopes: the Complete Review is, bare minimum, non-incomplete, at least w/r/t book reccomendations. So look, if you don't have this somewhere in your browser's history, or bookmarked,or just glistenin off your fingertips anytime you're jonesin' for that sweet release that comes with world-lit sugguestions, etc. then you cannot possibly be a truly /lit/ dude. Period.
http://www.complete-review.com/main/main.html
Quarterly Conversation -- this is the truest quarterly about literature that exists. It’s so true that it’s known for being about world lit without even trying. Enough said. Well, ok, one more thing: it pairs very nicely with the following:
http://quarterlyconversation.com/
Conversational Reading – by the same guy(~?) who puts Quarterly Conversation, has some great reccomendations, and ~trigger warning~ he just wrote a book about being gender fluid which, once I come into some money, I’m totally gonna order.
http://conversationalreading.com/
World Literature Forum – Since you all post on 4chan’s /lit/ you probably think you know where the good online discussions about literature can be found, where the online literature discussion is poppin’ off, or whatever. Yeah, ok. Prepare for falsification. Click the link for a taste of the truly good (read: world) literature discussion.
http://www.worldliteratureforum.com/forum/forum.php
Now, on to some less /lit/ relevant material. So, looking up at the thread I was truly, truly feeling this post:
>>8256927
I was feeling that post, truly feeling it, for two reasons. First, it is basically corrent (read: patrician). And second, it raises an important point: the necessity of of keeping tabs on what various ideological tribes w/in the “marketplace of ideas” are spouting on and on about. Like, as that poster said, you have ot read The Economist to keep tabs on what the neoliberal power elite are saying, and for that reason you should hold your nose, keep on swallowing the bile it arouses, and try to make it trough an issue of the Economist. At lest every once in a while. Here here is a sites to read in the same way and for the same reason:
HackerNews – link aggregator. Covers both the academic/technical side of Computer Science and, more importantly, Silicon Valley start-up disrupt-repreneurial bullshit. Owned and run by Paul Graham, Venture Capitalist and ‘thought’ leader dude.
https://news.ycombinator.com/
Paul Graham’s Essays – the aforementioned ‘thought’ leader’s attempts at thoughts. All-too-influential among the computer dudes.
http://www.paulgraham.com/articles.html
Ok Now I’m Just HURRY THIS UP. Some other things w/r/t/ ideology:
>>Alt-Right/Dork Enlightenment
Nick Land – You should ALREADY KNOW THIS. If you do, just follow the links to find the other Alt-Right/DE guys. If you don’t, start with the Dark Enlightenment Manifesto and then this site, then Moldbug.
http://www.xenosystems.net/
Taki’s – contrarian, big into ‘Race Realism,’ but, whatever the case may be w/r/t/ scientific evidence for racial differences, they treat statistical tools as if they’re magic truth-diviners. Interesting example of mathematical fetishism, along with some articles that are worth the nose-holding, vomit swallowing purusal. Also, that butthurt vice founder lol.
http://takimag.com/#axzz4DsC8haHK
>>Leftys
Jacobin – if I’m feeling uncharitable: champaign socialists/clueless grad students. If I’m feeling generous: a solid attempt at coming up with a leftist alternative to liberalism, it’s just too bad that so few of their writers have the background to ever have some real policy chops to put this stuff into place.
https://www.jacobinmag.com/
Crooked Timber – liberals who think they are leftists, and leftists who have yet to articulate a non-liberal alternative.
http://crookedtimber.org/
NakedCapitalism – check out the link dumps for some occasionally good and cool shit. Sort of like if zerohedge had one foot in reality and the other knee deep in das kapital.
http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/
BookForum Omnivore – this one actually pulls up some truly good and cool shit, at lesat from time to time, just has a lefty slant
http://www.bookforum.com/blog/
>>Lolbertarians worth reading
bleedingheartlibertarians – too invested in academic philosophy/political science/etc., esp for a group that is comfortable with hollowing out the university, but some interesting ideas nonetheless. I have Brennan’s book that argues against democracy from an epistemological perspective on my library waitist.
http://bleedingheartlibertarians.com/
Center for a Stateless Society – Seems to be people who realized that ‘libertarian’ has historically (read: in non-American context) meant non-authoritarian socialism, but they only after they’d gone Full Rothbard. Now they’re trying to fuse anarcho-capitalist market worship with, like, Proudhon. So, of course, there are tensions and contradictions in their views and, in their efforts to distance themselves from BIG BAD SOCIALISM, they say really dumb (or, by ignoring 30+ years of scholarship, reallyignorant) shit about Marx, really existing socialism, etc. And so, of course, all other anarchists, socialist, leftist, sort of chuck. Nonetheless, there are some gems in there. SO: HIGHLY RECCOMENDED (AS FAR AS PROPERTARIANS GO)

I’m not gonna keep goin with the links. The regret is sinking in. Anyways: GL, HF, and stay gold, postin-boys.
>>8256722
Are you going to write a review on Ice?
One more... well, one last, truly final post from your man: Drunk Boy.
>>8257004
Here is something embarassing and chameful about myself: I am posting on /lit/. I've been looking at these boards for so long, and now they've gotten so bad that I feel like shit just spending my time reading them, let along making the posts. Sheit, I've been on these boards since they looked like... well, what it looks like on 4chan.org/frames
Either the boards have gotten continually worse, or they haven't. Either way, I have an an accurate judgement of them now.
If they've gotten continually worse, then, since I've been reading them for so long, they truly are shit compared to what they were when they hooked me. If that's the case, then, as I'm fully aware, it'sa waste of time to even read them now-a-days. Let alone make posts.
Now suppose they haven't gotten continually worse. If that's the case, then my fond memories of posting here were delusional, and I've been wasting my time for years and years and years.
Either way, I'm wasting my time. For those reasons, I'm embarrassed and ashamed. This place is a cognitive and volitional sink-hole, fit for idiots and masochists, and no one else.
anyone read radical philosophy?
The Paris Review Interviews, except I read them in a paperback so maybe that doesn't count. Other than that I read threads here and that would be the extent of my online reading.
>>8257476
You're completely right in that. In the Fall, Anon (Drunk Boy), let's not come back. I will leave this place after a fucking decade wasted on this site. Let's look for better things, waste our time on even just slightly more productive things. Like reading.
YouYube comments.
>>8257505
What's radical philosophy?
>>8258935
a journal you kekker, cant you google yourself
Foreign policy
New York times
Correspondent (Dutch)
Michael Weiss (What he has to say about the middle-east, mostly)
Steve Keen (Economics)
I read local news so I can respond with my fake facebook profile. It's funny getting people riled up or making them think.
