Im new here. I searched the catalog before i posted and there wasnt a kindle thread.

I just finished God Emperor of Dune and want to finish the last two books but my eyes are sore as hell from reading on the goddamn computer screen. I assume kindle reduces eye strain. And if i can pirate books ill probably get one

Why is he so likeable?
13 posts and 4 images submitted.

>>7393614
Because he knows about all that popular culture that I also know about.

Soft-spoken, educated, attractive

Because he chose to be, at least publicly.

Does anyone on /lit/ find interest in autobiographies and memoirs?

I don't mean coffee table, flavour-of-the-month doorstoppers written by somebody on the chatshow circuit, but actually influential autobiographies/memoirs like Malcolm X's, Kurosawa's, Miles Davis', Michael Palin, etc?

I've always had a fascination for great ones but it seems they don't get that much mentioning around here. What does /lit/ think? Have you read any autobiography/memoir that you wished gained more attention/appreciation?

Pic related. I'm reading it at the moment, I never realised how tragic growing up was for him. He was immensely wise.

I read Charlie Mingus' Beneath The Underdog which was frustrating, distasteful, yet revealing, personal and pretty amusing too. It felt very much like James Joyce if he shot up a whole bunch. I especially liked how Mingus wrote it from the perspective of his consciousness rather than himself, and his discussions with his therapist were pretty interesting too.

Would recommend it if you're open to a lot of sex. I was a little disappointed that he didn't elaborate more on his music or creative process, but overall it's an unusual memoir.

I've just started this and I'm enjoying it. It's pretty interesting to see how he, Stein and others reacted to other writers works. Paints a nice picture of Paris too.

I bet you guys anything, If Harry Potter would have been written in this day and age, it would be labelled as fat shaming.

Back in the 90's it was still acceptable to poke fun at peoples weight, without: muh cunditions, muh feelings.

What do you think?

Is this not /lit/, a discussion of books?

I don't fucking care if it meets your standards, this is still a book, and the subject matter of my post, raises an interesting discussion.

Hey /lit/.
What are some passages or literary devices that show the theme of 'the meaning of life' in ''Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead''.

If matter is all there is then there is no truth, because truth does not have a material shape.

If truth is eternal and we can know it, then there must be a part of us that is like eternal, because like receives like.

What does that even mean? And how do you know?

All of my what

Also >>7392915 , but I'm in a humouring mood.

There is. It's not eternal, but it's eternal-like.

The reason why you don't see anybody claiming this, no matter how much their metaphysics point to it, is because it's a claim about human physiology. It's a claim for potentials that would unquestionably be labelled as paranormal in the current time. Technology can't measure it yet, so trying to push the idea is pointless.

What are novels with obsessive, anxious and emotionally unstable protagonists?

I would also like any supplementary info to either of the books. Stuff about the author during the writing of the book, or some hidden themes throughout.
