This is fucking ridiculous.
All the posts are gone.
Months of posts and some niggard just gets rid of them all on a whim.

Just then something long, round, limp and black fell upon her shoulders and slithered to the floor beside her. A great terror took hold of her. It softened her knees and dried her mouth so that it was a full minute before she could cry out or move. Then she saw that it was the big bull whip her husband liked to carry when he drove.

Just start with capitalism and Schizophrenia and I think it can be enjoyed even without reading the huge list of titles referenced. It would be interesting at least. Tough at the beginning but once you get ahold of their style you'll love it I'm sure.

Brace yourself to be called a pleb. In any case, check out Brave New World, A Clockwork Orange. Also, read the sticky. There's a lot of great books in the starter kit that you might enjoy

I can't read books unless I'm either in bed or sitting in a bus. As long as there's absolutely nothing else to do, I will read books. But as long as there's something else to do, sitting down and reading becomes impossible - my mind wanders and I keep thinking of doing something else, and consequently have to re-read every sentence 5 times.

Does anybody have the same problem? How to fix it?

How does it feel to know that you aren't even real, you faggot? If you were born after 1989, you LITERALLY don't exist and you're only a figment of my imagination projected from my mind to keep me from going crazy.

Have you read it? What did you think of it? I found myself having to flip to the index almost every page to remember names and terms. Overall I found most of it to be pretty intriguing.

I read it twice a few years ago, was pretty good, quite tragic stories but i guess that's the point.
The Children of HĂşrin is quite nice as well and tragic of course.

I'm considering buying a mechanical keyboard. I don't game at all, I mostly plan on using it for typing. I do a fair amount of writing and my laptop keyboard is starting to become very annoying.

Any writers out there that have experiences with mechanical keyboards? Are they worth getting for primarily typing over conventional desktop keyboards or are they primarily for gamers?

When I was a college freshman, I brought an IBM Model M to school with me for writing. I love using mechanical keyboards, but hooking up that monster to my laptop wasn't worth it really. I'd say mechanical keyboards are preferable for writing overall though. I definitely wouldn't buy a new expensive one though. You can pick up really nice vintage ones (that are built like tanks) on ebay relatively cheap.
>>
>>7667262
Yes, they're incredibly comfortable.
Just do your research on switch types and try some keyboards at a shop before getting one.

Any opinions on Signet classics? They are are 3€ here and I cant find anything on the net, except that they used to be a branch of Penguin. Are they simplified versions of classics?

Doesn't look to be simplified. The signets ive had experience with are the Shakespeare ones and I don't like the size and covers of them. They just feel cheap.
>>
signet classics does a great job with shakespeare

convenient size, good font, good annotation, and they hold up just fine over multiple re-readings—my copy of the sonnets has been thoroughly beaten and it's still fine.e.

there's no better option for shakespeare if you're just starting out. grab ten or twenty of them, and whenever you don't know what to read just pick up one at random. You should be able to read a full play in a day without any rush. if you take transit you can just carry it with you in your pocket and read it on the bus or whatever.

I don't know much about them outside of shakespeare.
>>
it'd say simplified if it were. does it?

For you writers out there, What tools do you use for writing and stuff. I'm currently looking into journalism and am curious as to what tools you might use or are useful to an amateur like myself.

I carve huge slabs of rock, lay a sheet of homemade papyrus over them and gently rub charcoal over them. The biggest hassle is cutting down the trees for the charcoal because I live in the city. I have to take the train with big piles of charcoal in the front of my shirt.

Does /lit/ read many biographies? What was the last one you read, and what did you think?

I started 'My Life' from Bill Clinton and I stopped somewhere after page 80. That was almost ten years ago but I haven't started anything from a politician after that and will not unless I know that it is going to be useful directly in real life.

I would read a biography about Hesse though, in a few years maybe.

rip the archive, there was a great thread just last week.

Napoleon the Great, Black Jacobins and American Prometheus was what I took out of it.

Looking for best biography of Ivan the Terrible btw
