Dune
" Before you condemn the Web or counter-Net for its "parasitism," which can never be a truly revolutionary force, ask yourself what "production" consists of in the Age of Simulation. What is the "productive class"? Perhaps you'll be forced to admit that these terms seem to have lost their meaning. [...]"Culture is our Nature"-- and we are the thieving magpies, or the hunter/gatherers of the world of CommTech."
Hakim Bey, TAZ, pg. 106
This book is awesome by the way.
You're no artist! You're a no talent piece of shit!
That guy was great, he was like a cartoon character

Was it mental retardation?
You or me?

No.
One of the /lit/ "starting with the greeks" guides recommended reading a general overview of philosophy before engaging with the primary sources. Seemed like a reasonable idea to me, but now I can't find the link with book suggestions.
Only title I remember from the list on the page was A New HIstory of Western Philosophy by Anthony Kenny so I was going to go with that. Good choice or is there a new favorite in town? Thanks.

Scroll down shitlord.
Don't forget to sage this disgrace of a thread.
Some of you may already know this by your own common sense. Some of you are too stupid to come to the realization. Some of you are gonna get to it but I'll just break it to you now cause I like you /lit/ezens.
An information bank so readibly available such as Google fucks with your long-term memory making it harder for you to retain valuable information you may come up by in literature which may go against some of you's motive for reading in the first place.
The reason for this is not hard to get at but here's some more info with citations, sperg:

Hi
So, I'm interested in this and I think I will start reading him soon, what can you tell me about him ?
Make sure to read him in French.
Did this book exist? i can buy or download it?

ITT: Books about grammar, style, technique, theory, and writing in general.
I'm curious how much /lit/ knows about these subjects and what they use to improve their own writing or appreciation of literature. I'm preparing to write some fiction myself and would like to learn as much as I can before doing so.
pic related, it's all I have atm

Classical rhetoric for the modern student - Corbett

None of them because with contemporary fiction writing it doesn't really matter how technically correct your grammar is so long as it's readable.
I started a blog for my poetry and I'm working on it.

What do you think of what I've written so far?
Ah, OP,
Thy poetry
Is like pee;
It's obvious
That you're in
Some deep doo-doo,
You are in the number two,
Bathing in some urine,
For posting your shit here
Which no one wants to hear;
Reading your poetry aloud is a defilement of the ear
And punishable by up to ten years in jail;
Ah, OP,
One day the great hail
Of the retribution of the wrath of God
Shall thunder down upon your head,
And you'll be dead,
And blood that's red
Shall pour from your head.
Repent, or be damned.

Why do you do this to me OP?
has anyone here ever heard of this?
I think the only editions are the original french one (1906) and the italian one that was published in 2015
Interesting
Nothing in Russian?
Thoughts on this guy?
so good I'd be disappointed if the internet liked him
ive only read the marquis of umbria but it's good
What are some books of people turning their lives around?

Was Hesse the original furry?

this book made me happy and confident for one day
>Built into the act of return finally was this glittering mosaic of doubt. Something like what Sauncho's colleagues in marine insurance liked to call Inherent Vice

Even out of context, this is pretty good prose desu.
He should have called it Zzzzzzzzzzz
I actually agree, I was really disappointed.
Pynchons my fav writer for sure because my fav thing in books is goofs, gags, jokes and rambunctious behavior, and his books are full to the brim of it. Every novel is like one of those novelty snake cans, you open the book & POP you get a face fulla snakes and you fall back cackling. The mad mind, the crack genius, to do it! and then you think hmmm whats he gonna do next, this trickster, and you pick the book back up and BZZZZZZZZZZ you get a shock and Hahahahahah you've been pranked again by the old pynchmeister, that card. "Did that Pynch?" he says, laughing yukyukyukyuk. Watch him as he shoves a pair of plastic buck teeth right up into his mouth and displays em for you- left, right, center- "you like dese? Do i look handsome???" Pulls out a mirror. "Ah!" Hand to naughty mouth. And you're on your ass again laughing as he snaps his suspenders, exits stage right, and appears again hauling a huge golden gong.
