You are my sister, we were born
So innocent, so full of need
There were times we were friends but times I was so cruel
Each night I'd ask for you to watch me as I sleep
I was so afraid of the night
You seemed to move through the places that I feared
You lived inside my world so softly
Protected only by the kindness of your nature
You are my sister
And I love you
May all of your dreams come true
We felt so differently then
So similar over the years
The way we laugh the way we experience pain
So many memories
But theres nothing...

every. august ames. thread.
Who wrote that short story about carving up an ape for dinner? I'm only asking here because I'm all out of options, pretty much just Googling "[name of American short story author] + ape" at this point
Are you talking about the cuck story?
>>8268109
Maybe, which one is that?
>>8268109
Lmao
As a pretty hardcore right-winger, I want to open myself up to left-wing texts because I don't like living in an echo-chamber.
I have picked up Madness and Civilisation by Michel Foucault, and I am enjoying it so far even though I'm not very far into it, and it's a bit complex and hard to follow since I'm very new to Philosophy.
So, is it worth it to continue on buying Foucault's books and exposing myself to Leftist theories that way or what? Does he provide solid arguments?
Foucault is as left wing as nietzsche is
>>8267883
Foucault was basically an Anarcho-Communist, which is about as hard Left as you can get.
if you're Christian right-wing you might try Belloc
Which version is best version?
>>8267829
Leaves of ASS heheh amirite?
>>8267829
i've been wondering too
>>8267829
I don't understand why this is such a common question. Why wouldn't it be the deathbed version?
He spent his life writing and rewriting these poems, why wouldn't you get the complete and final version?
Do you have any authors that you read all of their books /lit/?
Poe, Lovecraft are the only ones who (have) actually released more than 1-3 titles (I won't bother mentioning cases like that)
Also, I won't promise I've read all their material, but I've read very complete collections of their works etc. There's surely a chance that I've missed something small.
>>8267796
No.
Yeah actually, John Kennedy Toole and Barry Hughart.
Thanks suicide and rage quitting!
How does /lit/ feel about "the" list?
Too heavy on Faulkner, in my opinion.
>>8267735
Too much Pynchon, Infinite Jets shouldn't be number 1.
>Moby Dick.
Into the trash it goes.
>>8267735
Don't touch it until summer is over.
So I just finished reading part 1 of Atlas Shrugged. Should I keep going or just call it quits? I heard that the rest of the book is shit.
>>8267678
The fact that you made it that far is a feat in and of itself. You've earned the right to bow out and read some literature rather than pulpy ideology.
>>8267678
I though parts 1 and 2 were good and part 3 was disappointing
>>8267678
the whole book is shit
>read this book assuming that Achilles gets shot in the ankle at the end
I got fucking meme'd, lads.
>>8267670
But it explains to you what's going to happen to Achilles and to Troy, so Homer doesn't have to explicitly narrate it
>>8267670
It's funny that most posters recognize the meme trilogy as such yet they still don't see the biggest meme of all, that being "start with the Greeks"
What did you think when they wheeled this thing in?
What are some good sci-fi books where there's a totalitarian ultra-nationalist space empire like in Warhammer?
Not sure there really is OP. That's why 40k was such a success. The fantasy setting was just Moorcock plus D&D and was good but nothing the world hadn't seen before. Then they mixed in Dune and WW2 and suddenly had something totally new. Big success.
there's the Catholic church in Dan Simmons' "Hyperion" books. they even got power armor, for when they have to arrest unarmed girls.
