I'm not a huge fan of DFW but this movie was really damn good and now I wish I could have had a 3-hour conversation with him.
I can't decide if Ready Player One or The Martian is my #1 literature for 2015.

The forced relationship drama really killed it for me.
>he doesn't buy hardcovers for books with 500+ pages
how are you enjoying that cracked spine?
How dare you insult my choice of cover hardness
>>7487789
I'm enjoying it fine. What the fuck do I need an uncracked spine for?
>>7487789
I don't use books as a fashion accessory so it's fine with me.
Anybody else exprience this problem with hardcovers? How to fix this?
It's a feature.

How do you react to people who justify their shitty taste in literature with "it's subjective"?
Fuck off /mu/
Fuck off /mu/
>stop liking what I don't like
I've read that these are a bit of a Harry Potter knockoff. What does /lit/ think of the series?

I remember reading the first two when they came out. Can't believe they made that many more. I remember liking them, but I was young and had bad taste. They probably suck.
>>7487313
Seems pretty derivative of other fantasy novels.
Have not read anything about them that said they are horrendous.
>stupid shit you wrote as a kid
The Mayans said that one day; someone will show us a way. They couldn’t have directly told us so they ended the calendar on the day of his birth. A new world will be created by this man, who knows what will happen. It started today and the old world ends today. This is the journey of Marco Lionheart, man, leader… savior.
The midnight the apocalypse was told to be, everyone decided it wasn’t going to happen because it would not be happening, something else was happening in East London. At 4:00 AM Greenwich mean time Juliet Lionheart went into labor and was imminently sent to the hospital. Not only did she give birth to the savior, the apocalypse started. A bit light storm occurred in the sky, the light show attracted a million people. It was a bang heard all around the world, 10 minutes later Juliet was told about it and she looked outside. A scroll fell straight down from the sky, landed in her arms. It was the first thing good that happened to her since her husband died weeks before. Imminently as her got the scroll she opened it the scroll said the following.
“Centuries ghosts, calendars end while the stone army invades. We are all doomed, who is next?”

This is hilarious. I wrote some terrible stuff when I was a kid, but I think it all got discarded.
Could be worse 2bh. At least it's halfly original.

Hey so I want to start writing horror stories, and dipping in what other people have wrote too. The reason I'm doing so is because I feel like every horror movie made is retarded or family friendly level. I want to make my own horror story that will push the envelope and boundaries. Books should be a better medium because, you don't have to be rich to project your story to a huge audience, and be more liberal with your ideas. I'm buying these books from amazon, anyone have good recommendations.
Revival: A Novel by Stephen King
Survivor by J. F. Gonzalez
Brain Cheese Buffet by Edward Jr. Lee
The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum

Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis was... readable.
The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea was oddly haunting.
>>7487123
There's plenty of terrific horror movies, OP. The Shining, The Babadook, Nosferatu, Let The Right One In; just to name a few of the wondrous films.
Even though this board gives him some flak, really enjoyed the H. P. Lovecraft's work. Also suggest Pet Cemetery by Stephen King. King's not the best author but his creations have sometimes had some interesting uniqueness to them.
>>7487166
>The Shining
But the movie was garbage as a horror film. It was a dumbed down slasher flick where Jack loses his mind for no reason, it butchered (pun intended) the characters and completely fucked up Kings masterpiece.
Dropping 2 tabs of acid next week.
What book do i take?
>>7486989
Take 1 instead of two
Dont fucking read
Dont stay inside go outside
Seriously there is a good chance that youll have some sort of shitty upper cut into your acid so you arent going to want to sit around and read
>read
Hahaha what. Go outside, sit in grass.
>>7486996
I plan on being outside with friends but seeing as its going to last all day I dont see the harm in bringing something to read here and there

By the way, if you'd like to make your own meme, here's the template!

Is this the only thing that /lit/ /tv/ and /v/ likes?
>>7486711
I only like the film.
/v/ doesn't like anything it's dead.
/tv/ and /lit/ share a passion for post sincere shitposting and awaiting their inevitable demise.

Hi Reddt. No one uses that chart. Use the big un.
>>7486680
I haven't read many of those books, and sure as hell I won't in any time soon.
Do people really FOLLOW /lit/'s charts?
>>7486680
Of those I've read American Psycho, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Do androids dream of electric sheep, and the picture of dorian grey.
I've also started lolita.
I'd rate:
1: PoDG
2: DADoES
4: AP
4: tAoHF
I prefer AP but I could buy an argument that Huck Finn is better written, so I've put them as tied.
Hey guys,
So sometimes I get real high and try to read The Hobbit. It's amazing.
What are some other great high reads?
dude books lmao
Go take a walk in the woods or something. Who would waste a high on fucking reading?
DUDE I like to rip the bong and read some bukowski because he reminds me of myself with his cynical outlook and his deep intellectual sadness. I only get wasted because I have all this inexpressible rage most people will never understand.
sometimes on the weekends I go over to my friend Tyler's house and we drop acid and listen to terrence mkenna and alan watts on youtube. thats some pretty dope shit as well man they really make you think.
ps. vote bernie sandrs he'll legalize it LMAO
What is the most epic cover art for a book and why is it Goosebumps #33: The Horror at Camp Jellyjam?
I remember masturbating to Goosebumps #33: The Horror at Camp Jellyjam when I was a kid and I don't remember why and I'm scared to find out. What's the weirdest, sexiest shit that happens in Goosebumps #33: The Horror at Camp Jellyjam?
He looks like Jeb Bush in a couple of years.
