How imperative is freedom of speech for writing literature?
>>7616313
not very.very few writers of quality write about political shit and when they do they usually can do it with double meanings and other cleaver,skillful tricks.I would say its good that we have freedom of speech but I don't think its essentially to writing political literature and is completely unnecessary when talking about literature of other kind. downside is usually the fact that when something is banned it has enforcers and those enforcers tend to read too much into things

* I have read the recommended books wiki but I didn't find anything that would help me.
I'm currently a first year Law student and I need some beginners philosophy books that teach it from scratch.
Also anything that could help me improve my understanding of International Politics (and roman) would be highly appreciated.
>>7616187
Any book that encourages laws or international politics is a book that should be burned.

Post your idea for my NON-CLICHE short story that will make me known for ever amongst my teachers and class mates. Any and all ideas will be extremely helpful.
Thank you /lit/.
Ten page, post-modern piece of a man contemplating the universe, while fishing a light bulb out of his colon.
You could have phrased that to not sound like a smug cunt and maybe I would have helped you. Instead I'm gonna tell you to choke on a fat one.
Hey /lit/! I want to read something that inspires me to do big things and to improve myself. Do you know any books that makes you feel like this when you finish them?
Pic unrelated.
the holy bible
The Bible.
I'm serious.
Start with Ecclesiastes, Proverbs, and then Job. They makes sense of suffering, humility, and generosity. Proverbs is chock full of practical advice. Ecclesiastes provides an answer to nihilism and existential angst. The most important lesson you'll gain from this is the value of wisdom. With wisdom and knowledge as your foci, you can advance through life knowing it only gets easier, and then you turn to dust. Really, it's quite peaceful.

Ya dude. Epic bost btw.
I need ideas for books to send to someone serving a three-month jail sentence. I can provide any further context if desired.
Preferably promoting HONEST introspection, self-analysis, and self-improvement.
This person needs a LOT of self-care and is on the precipice of cognitively realizing this - I'm looking for a text that will push them over the edge into "Oh, I CAN be better! I'm actually allowed to love myself and that's okay."
Something practical. Something that can't readily be argued against, even in the midst of severe bias and general prejudice of the external.
I really care about this person and this sentence is the culmination of a long history of self-hate and fear ruling their lives. This book could legitimately change everything for them.

is there any good place to find college textbooks in e-reader format?
>>7617230
just get pdfs off of bookzz and the libgen familia. If that fails bookz (irc) might have them. It's pretty rare that a textbook is on neither of those---if so, then hustle over the biblioteca (hopefully you're near a good college) and nab a copy there.
also why the fuck you want epubs? Figures are usually fucked up even in the 'official e-reader' version, unless you're looking at Diestel's graph-theory or another really high quality e-version.
>>7617233
I mean file formats for PC based reading. I don't really use e-reader stuff, I'm just looking to see if I can get the texts on-screen instead of a book. thanks for the reply btw, I'm making some progress finding what im looking for

What's your magnum opus going to be like /lit/?
A readable version of Ulysses.

A short pamphlet to my progeny and great...great...etc grandchildren somewhat prior to my death introducing myself and briefly listing what I have learned during my life, and wishing them best of luck in theirs.

Books you have bought recently.
Here is a hungarian copy of "The Tragedy of Man" by Imre Madách.
It was pretty cheap,and it's a good edition.
Does lit even buys books or you guys just use an E-reader or you just get presents based in a list you gave to mummy?

fuck off back to your 'i don't care if i'm a pleb' sci-fi general thread

What wrong did I say?
Why are you trying to imply that I belong in a fantasy/sci-fi general?
