post-punctum, I choose to begin my stor(y) here after giving you a brief synopsis given the summary of the autobiography of The (despite that pre-punctum (putting that point, which from the outside, is already within the inside and put back into the outside of the thought) and thererfore. Now, I say with dreadful pride that crazy, absolutely crazy numbler of sheer sizes have put away our boastful fears away forevermore. Once thought is allowed to roam within the (certainly) bumbling forests of the metaphysical physic of the imagination, constraints are but no more to the more knowing butt of society. Not in a rambling fashion (innnnsssshhhiiiiittt) but o-p-e-n up the misconception misconceptions of them that are held against us your thought might come to the natural conclusion that ties the end about the situation of the mis-percieve-ance of us. However, now let us begin in the beginning of the beginning. Shall we begin? (Yes)

And so, it was a marvelous day, when I had recalled that a switch in my mind had not been pressed on yet. However, given the illogical content of my production, I quickly swayed away from it and moved on, brightly aknowledging fact of having conquested past foe. But as I reached house of the bricks which lay the structure in front of me, I noticed that the post-punctum, I choose to begin my stor(y) here after giving you a brief synopsis given the summary of the autobiography of The (despite that pre-punctum (putting that point, which from the outside, is already within the inside and put back into the outside of the thought) and thererfore.

However, now let us begin in the beginning of the beginning. Shall we begin? (Yes) and realized that in fact the matter was indeed very certainly my switch (oh the switch the switch the switch the switch!) had not been flipped, or turnedenrut to realize the distance of how literary galaxies of and literal galaxies could forge in the flow of the sword-pen.

Turn on the switch! the peasant cried not knowing what lurked behind the metamorphosis of the of the true self which had been defined in a period when it itself had not been realized, and bamboozled the little flick of a switch and wicked. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

cite works or go to >>>/his/

this is a good question

mine always becomes awkward with describing the character's actions or details during the conversation

i think honestly if you have that much dialogue to write you should maybe just let it go as it is

>>7377293

Write a story about mute people.

>>7377293
Dialogue is essentially exposition, you're telling the reader what you want him to know by having him listen in on characters talking. If possible, try to show rather than tell the reader the same information. If you're using a lot of dialogue to tell the reader that a character is wishy-washy and unable to make a decision, try instead to cut the dialogue down to a minimum and reinforce it with an action - our indecisive protagonist talking while trying to pick between two nearly identical apples, for example.

When possible it is always best to read authors in their original language. Hence why modern-English Shakespeare will always be pleb-tier.

Is there anything special about Library of America books? Or are they just another one of those "neat hardcover" publishers?

>>7377240
A mistake making a mistake. Yowch. But will it undo your parents's crime?

>>7377249
Check it out m8. These aren't the signature black books that a synonymies Library of America. They are really nice hardcovers tho and you get a 3 book set for like $10 to start then get a book a month for like $25 bucks

It remains relevant in many ways, though Brave New World has turned out to be a more accurate depiction of the future.

You answered your own question, pop science is made to make the subject closer to a layman understanding, but if you want the real shit you have to read the papers.

>>7377121
Maybe i worded it wrong.

I mean, is there anything bad in just relying in pop science if you don't want to skim through thousands of pages of papers to look for the results only?

>>7377138
if you want a decent understanding of scientific topics then just read textbooks for undergrads. only once you get the general knowledge of the topic and importantly vocabulary can you begin to understand scientific papers

It's not even fluffy entertainment. Millions of children were tricked into reading this product. It's entirely devoid of imagination. Looking back I'm embarrassed eleven year old me bought into it.
