What does /lit/ think of Marshall McLuhan?
I just picked up this book and have started it recently, I find him very interesting as a personality and he has some useful ideas from what I can tell.
inb4 form your own opinions: I'm curious to see (or rather read as McLuhan would note) a discussion about someone who isn't often discussed on this board.

An inner flame in between
A big heart we had
Formed by our kiss
Wildest Dreams
Didn't need zines
To tell us the state of our fashion

Is this worth my time?
How might we accurately judge the relative value of your time without knowing you?
it would probably be better to read amazon reviews than to ask people here.

How do I write a good suicide note?
Asking for a friend.
>>8264434
Use 'cuck' a lot
>>8264445
Alternatively write that you discovered something really terrible in the government, pack your things into suitcases, write that you'll notify your family of where you are once you come out of hiding, then strangle yourself with some cable or something and pretend you were struggling.

Yo /lit/, I came across an old collection of Twain recently. Which of these are worth reading and in what order?
>>8264369
Why would you read any of them in order?
The Joan of Arc one was Twain's personal favorite
>>8264403
Also, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn are his best known works and are a good start
Hello /lit. I have an academic question for you this time, and of course it involves the Ulysses. What can you tell me about the metropolitan theme in it? I seems to find only general analysis about the role of cities and urban settings between modernist writer, but I would love something more specific about Joyce's Ulysses.
Are you from India?

That's everyone here. I've only read about 70 pages of J R today while I've spent half the day on this shithole.
I'm having a dispute with a friend of mine. He had read Game of Thrones and is trying to tell me that this quote isn't in the book at all. Can anyone here source this with the page number for me please?
"Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up she was shitting brown water. The more she drank, the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew, and her thirst sent her crawling to the stream to suck up more water."

So you believe this was in the book? Which character, and in what context would this apply to?
>>8264204

>>8264638
>Which character, and in what context would this apply to?
Arya after escaping from Kings Landing or Daenerys being abandoned by most of the Dothraki after the death of Khal Drogo.
Your thoughts on this book?
I read it a few years ago and while it is by no means a "difficult" book to read I thought it was very enjoyable. I thought the best parts were the protagonist's flashback scenes.
>>8264173
it's fine. nowhere near as good or funny as american psycho.
He has a good mind for set pieces, especially when it comes to shock value. But I didn't find myself buying into his premise of society-wide moral decay. I never got the idea that I was watching something that could happen anywhere outside of a small group of rich kids in the lonely city of LA.
The edgy shock scenes started to get juvenile and tiresome, but not so bad as to be unforgivable.
