This is the degeneracy that descriptivism brings
Of course, the hypothetical people calling her out are probably spergs who can't in2 context and dialect as well

Demos comienzo a una nueva edición de estas ya habituales manifestaciones colectivas de hispanidad literaria y vergüenza ajena.
Que opinan ustedes de la obsoletizacion de los acentos escritos?
>>7641510
>obsoletizacion de los acentos escritos
Excusa para holgazanes. Los acentos escritos son una herramienta muy útil que YA QUISIERAN tener otros idiomas. Ahora postea un texto.

How much of most books are filler? I find that I'll usually only like / be willing to read 50% of any book or less, because of what I consider to be "the filler". Because of this, I'll skip or speed read 50%+.
You're right, it's generally far too much. This is why poetry and plays are superior to novels.

without googling, interpret the following dialogue

Without a metric?
Por que?

Alright /lit/, time to give me a prompt to write about in a timed write for Crime an Punishment in my english class.
Is Raskolnikov's portrayal of the Great Man Theory in C&P defensible? Why or why not?
>>7650787
thread
The dual nature of raskolnikovs personality, represented by svidrigailov and Sonya, that is redeemed through porfiry and Sonya, respectively.
Is this true, /lit/?
Maybe, but probably not.
more a question of selfpitying than appearance
no OP, it is not true, think about it for a bit and then you'll realise that it can't be true.

I was fucking around on a website built around Japanese cartoons while not wearing any clothes.

Where were you when American Literature was revived

The original still exists.
Also the original is British.

Do any of you take part in reading challenges outside of "read x books in a year"
Which ones do you participate in?
>read a horror book
dropped
>>7650520
>transforming pleasure in or love of reading into an opportunity for self-improvement, thus suggesting an overwhelming impulse to quantify the unquantifiable and to accrue life's moments like capital rather than to experience awareness in an intellectual or emotional sense

>Read a book with a main character that has a mental illness
Stopped reading right there.
What /lit thoughts on this guy? I took a couple poetry classes from him back in the time before most of you faggots wuz born.
I enjoyed the class even though I only got a B. His poetry form book totally trashed my "open verse", "free verse", "non structured" poetry style, and I started to feel comfortable writing poetry with structure.
Also, I want to state it publicly. I borrowed his book, "The New Book of Forms" from the college library, but I never returned it, because I was soooo frustrated that I stabbed it with a Ka-bar knife. I also spat on it, and threw it down the hallway of the dorm.
I still have it. And the college library charged me for the full retail value later, before giving me my degree. (Its good to vent anonymously)
Dirty Limerick style makes dirty poems easy.

Next time, don't include bits like these.

I'm writing a creepypasta. Any good, fresh horror ideas? I'm trying to break the pattern of dark roomed cliché.
>>7649985
>creepypasta
>>7649995
Hey, some creepypastas are well written. Borrasca for example. And Room 731. And The Chandelier.
>>7649985
That movie is the most cliché slasher I've ever watched.
Let's make an adventure game using tundra, hypersphere and/or other original content. We write the text and the virgins make the game.
(If in need of inspiration:
http://textadventures.co.uk/games/view/3cbedqimquselmanehhzxg/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy)
This is a good idea. Sadly, the execution will be poorly because people need an established story to work.
>>7649983
How the hell'd you go around making a videogame for Tundra, leave alone something as big as Hypersphere?
Part of me wants to believe it's possible.
If we can write a book we can write an adventure game. It's just about getting the virgins to cooperate.
what is a good starting point for al-farabi?
the Greeks
>>7648632
this. plato, aristotle, then al-farabi's commentary on them. after his philosophy you can go into his political writings.
