OP actually managed an excellent retort...
Still a faggot though.
Is Nietzsche a good read to help inspire you to do something great with your life?
>>8193760
Yes, go do something life threatening, its the only way to live.
no
philosophy isn't self-help for 'i'm so smurt' people. it's a field of inquiry.
>>8193760
no, his ideas are likely to act as a poison, alienating you from others while given you a false sense of worth.
but do read him. though only if you're truly curious so you can read him away by exploring others ideas.
....or are we too near to it to judge properly. "Greats" of the past were little more than popular culture of the past, so how will the future judge works of our current age?
Also, what do you think might be judged worthy of the title of literary in the future? Pic related.

>Is Literary and Modern Fantasy Possible?
yes but whenever something gets awarded with the literary label it sheds the genre ones
c.f: the fortress of solitude, delillo, 'magical realism' etc
>>8193740
If it's good enough to be considered literary, it's not genre fiction.
cf: Margaret Atwood making other scifi writers fanny flustered.

what's a good novel about falling out of love
The Lovely Bones
GREAT EXPECTATIONS
trust me. also, the tie-in between the book and the song by the gaslight anthem 'great expectations' is so killer
>novel
>good
The appeal to novelty (also called argumentum ad novitatem) is a fallacy in which one prematurely claims that an idea or proposal is correct or superior, exclusively because it is new and modern.
Is there any philosophy books about Direct Democracies or something similar?

>Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep,
> He hath awaken'd from the dream of life;
> 'Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep
> With phantoms an unprofitable strife,
> And in mad trance, strike with our spirit's knife
> Invulnerable nothings. We decay
> Like corpses in a charnel; fear and grief
> Convulse us and consume us day by day,
>And cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay.

What year is it again?
>>8193552
No because I'm not a hipster faggot and this isn't 1955.
Do you know anyone else whose /lit/ irl, or are you the only one in your life besides your professor who knows his shit? Are your classmates passionate about their major, or are they only quasi interested because their parents made them go and it was their only tolerable option?

I am out of college and I know 3 other people in my entire circle of collected acquaintances and family who's reading habits I respect. One of them is a partial in that I respect her for reading 300+ books a year, mostly non-fiction, but typical female pop tastes in literature, one is a woman who is undeniably /lit/ , and another is a well read hipster that spends most of his time in poetry.
>>8193518
Have you spoken about the 300+ woman here before? Aunt or some shit?
My friends are all smarter than me but would rather play videogames than read
Did anyone else catch the spirit to live after reading this book?
>>8193421
it was a bopping novel. got a bit long in parts but I really enjoyed it, especially the humorous bits. It feels bad knowing that hitchhiking is almost impossible nowadays.
>>8193430
That's not true
>>8193421
Yeah, especially because the first time I read it was in high school. I still read it every couple of years or so, but it isn't quite the same as the first few times I read it.

I just Fuking typed all this but 4chan said no. So I will give a shortened version. I have to pick 5 different myths, each form a different chapter. I read 4 chapters and have 2 different myths picked out. Where should I go for the remaining 3 myths
>>8193422
So this is an open book essay on subjects of your own choice, and you cannot move forward? Jesus christ just flip a coin.
Sorry. I'm never going to post on here again.
Good. Never come back.

See you next week, lover.

Share your biggest literary fascination with /lit/. This can vary from anything like your favorite author or writing style to historical era and context.
Early modernism makes my dick hard as fuck.
I write in a style completely inspired by Shakes, ee cummings, Joyce, and Pound. I will never be published. But I will smile now and then.
