This is it, we're at the end. Parts 1-5 are pretty much completed, if you want to add more stuff put it in the dump doc. We're writing the final chapter, which covers the death orgy, the return of Trump and the royal gala, and anything else you want to throw in there.

OP the answer is that the imagery throughout the story requires a hugeass budget to film the special effects in a way that doesn't look corny and stupid, and the ideas in Inferno are controversial (in a bad way) enough from the perspective of milquetoast America that it can't really be turned into a mindless action blockbuster either.

Do you know anything where the protagonist is struggling through life with his retarded goals/ambitions, which lead to nothing but misery. Feel like I am wasting my time doing things that are important only in my head (career wise).

"Hey, Anon! You like literature? I love literature!"

"Really? Who's your favorite author? What's your favorite book?"

"Hmmm...gosh, I don't know...If I had to pick, I'd say my favorite author is [pic related] and my favorite book is American Gods, by Neil Gaiman."

So what authors and books make you roll your eyes and immediately dismiss someone, /lit/?

Hey /lit/, what are some books that'll make me look smart?

I'm not actually gonna read them, I just want to put them up on my bookcase so I could give off the impression that I'm well-read and intelligent.

No cliches, please. I don't want anyone catching on to what I'm doing.

I feel sorry for you if Kafka's style is the best you've ever experience. I feel even worse because you don't know French so you can't experience Proust's style, which is the best I've ever read. Feels good to be trilingual.
