/lit/ confessions thread.
I write, and publish (under user names created via anonymous emails) fanfiction... a lot of fanfiction.
I unironically enjoy YA lit as an adult
I used to say "yes ive read it" to every book they ask me if i had read, then only the ones i was planning on reading or heard about. Then i stopped.
I've yet to read the Meme trilogy
I read books.
Six signs that you are reading a bad book: 1) you are on page 500, and you only have a slight idea what the book is about; 2) you find yourself skimming several pages, because you know the whole point of a passage is contained in the last line, which is simply a rephrased version of the sentence that ended the previous three passages; 3) you don't care about any of the characters; 4) you don't know who the hell the narrator of a particular section is (you may have come across him or her before, but (see #3) you didn't care about him or her, so you don't even remember; 5) you find yourself in a bad mood, because you're on page 500, you still have about 150 pages to go, and you feel like you've gone too far to give up now; 6) you keep discovering more signs that you are reading a bad book while you are writing your review after (FINALLY) finishing Roberto Belano's THE SAVAGE DETECTIVES.
I'll spare you anymore details. Suffice it to say, I think this is a bad book.
Lol pleb
I'm at page 50 of catcher in the rye and I wonder why the fuck did I go into a book store with the /lit starter kit and showed it to someone working there.
Bought How to kill a mocking bird with it.
What have I done...
Why the fuck is the catcher in the rye in the lit starter kit?
Post recommended conservative writers or texts.
Some of my favourite conservative writers:
Joseph de Maistre
Anthony Ludovici
Carl Schmitt
I believe these write with perfect clarity and reach to the essentials, much more so than any abstract liberal theorist might.
I also like Heinrich von Treitschke for his rugged, vigorous conservatism.
For modern guys, Roger Scruton is good.

Get out
Pene, poronga, pinga, polla.
Quisiera llamar a un ángel
Que rompa mi monotonía.
Hace años que mis pasos
caminan junto al silencio.
No pido mucho, sólo compañía
y que sus alas me protejan
de las lágrimas de esta vida,
y que su mirada me haga
olvidar que yo nací,
y que su manos me cubran los ojos
cuando ella no está ahí.
Serás fantasía de un alma desdichada
¿O es que acaso vuelas junto a mí?

'Booktubers' are mentally ill by default.
I know this one girl who started reading 3 months ago and now is a full blown 'bookworm' with a youtube channel and all the other shit.
They just do it for the attention and mostly read shit books

Eyes looking at me
seeing through my lies
waiting for my demise
I'm sorry I lied
I just want to be wanted
But now I'm haunted
by scars that show
who I really am
I walk in these darkened streets
thinking the world so bleak
tonight feels like just for me
no strangers to be seen
"I am glad" I scream in my head
"I am glad" I whisper, feeling dread
Then I am surprised
for there is an echo outside
calling a response
yelling to be heard
yet, it is only the screetch of a bird
(I push away the empty space
reminding me that sad place
behind that loud school
behind the disgraced fools
I silently curse my well off life
trying to act like I have strife
But this feeling of dread keeps gnawing on my bones
making me feeling oh, so cold
I wish I could yell "I am glad"
To the windowed strangers, behind my back
to the people I will never meet
even If I see them on this busy street)
I saw these old poems on a computer I'm getting rid of. God, nothing has changed. Nothing has changed at all.
Please don't leave me alone guys.
Do you embrace your weirdness?
Do you smile?
Sometimes we find it difficult to word our feelings
By looking up new expressive words, you may discover new words that reflect your exact feelings!
Use shapes, colours and images to reflect how you feel

Stoop, then, and wash. How many ages hence
Shall this our lofty scene be acted o’er,
In states unborn and accents yet unknown!
>Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas incardine, making the green one red.
>All that is won and lost. Give me a kiss; even this repays me.
>No, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church door, but 'tis enough, 'twill serve. ask for me to-morrow, and you shall find me a grave man.
