Dear /lit/,
I have come here to seek help finding a book.
A book I first saw on my mother's bookcase when I was little, haven't seen it since. I am really interested in reading this book because for some reason the picture on it made an imprint in my memory and it's been bugging me ever since.
I've attached a picture from Dune, because the cover looked nearly identical except for the giant worm being a crashed spaceshuttle/craft embedded in desert sand.
I know this is like finding a needle in a haystack, but I figured 4chan would probably have the answer.
Sorry for the long read
Thanks,
>>7821858
did it look like this?
>>7822815
It looked 99% like that , except for the placing and fading of the spacecraft being wrong.
It really was like the picture I've placed.
It really does look similiar though!!
Thank you!
Also, whats the book called???

Rant is interesting. Fight club is great when you're seventeen. Lullabye was hard to trudge through, reading snuff was like getting gayraped. Survivor was painful. Then I discovered /lit/ and decent writers.

Does /lit/ have any opinions?
/lit/ has lots of opinions
>>7821678
every opinion of every topic in /lit/ is wrong
Except mine.
A fucking mess.
It's nothing but a mindless incoherent rambling of bullshit with sugar coating.
I'd say it's the best example of when pop-science is taken too seriously.
“Films are for everyone, collective, generous, with children cheering when the cavalry arrives. And they're even better on TV: two can watch and comment. But your books are selfish. Solitary...A person who's interested only in books doesn't need other people, and that frightens me.”
What did he mean by this?

>>What did he mean by this?
>Literature is too much of a chore but I don't want to part with my elitism so I've convinced myself that I'm above it and it "frightens" me.
You can enjoy a film alone just as much as you can enjoy reading with other people.
Sounds like he's butthurt some girl likes reading more than him.
Cinema sucks,TV is for proles. If you want to be propagandized to just listen to NPR and read sociological journals.
is Literature a way to express unexpressed-because-repressed feelings and situations?
is it that why times of Historical and social crisis and transition give the best works?
>>7821479
Language as a whole is an attempt to come as close as possible to expressing the inexpressible.
>>7821531
says who? language is just a a tool for social life. its implications are irrelevant in practice.

>"The nigger Jew is in the process of toppling over the Aryan in communism and robot art to achieve the objectivist mentality of perfect slavery for Jews (the Jew is a nigger, the semite race does not exist, it is an invention of the freemasons, the Jew is only the product of a cross between niggers and asiatic barbarians)." (Bagatelles p.171)
What did he mean by this?
>>7821401
He means that Jews are bad.

infinite jest
harry potter
>>7821200
This joke has been made at least 20 times by at least 20 retards who don't read books and shouldn't be posting on this board
how are you supposed to pronounce it? the way they do in the show bothers me for some reason.
>>7821196
Loo-si-fer
[ˈlu.sJ.fɹ] (LOO-si-fir, dactylic) or any allophones of the same. Now go back to /tv/.
>>7821211
For whatever reason, the near-close, near-front unrounded vowel gets autocorrected to a capital-J. Think of the "i" in "bin".
>The Anarchist Library
>Mikhail Bakunin
>God and The State
>source: marxists.org
Can I really trust this edition? I don't think so.
Marxists would do sabotage on anarchist texts!
Yeah you have to be really careful, Marxists are always hiding IEDs in Anarchist literature.
>>7821141
So, this means I can't trust this edition, right?
Where should I get a proper edition?
Wikisource? https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/God_and_the_State
>>7821145
No, that one will literally give you HIV through your computer screen. Those tricksy marxists!
>If pleasure is connected with the mere apprehension of the form of an object of intuition without a relation of this to a concept for a determinate cognition, then the representation is thereby related not to the object, but solely to the subject, and the pleasure can express nothing but its suitability to the cognitive faculties that are in play in the reflecting power of judgment, insofar as they are in play, and thus merely a subjective formal purposiveness of the object. For that apprehension of forms in the imagination can never take place without the reflecting power of judgment, even if unintentionally, at least comparing them to its faculty for relating intuitions to concepts.
>Now if in this comparison the imagination (as the faculty of a priori intuitions) is unintentionally brought into accord with the understanding, as the faculty of concepts, through a given representation and a feeling of pleasure is thereby aroused, then the object must be regarded as purposive for the reflecting power of judgment.
What did he mean by this?
Nice novel there OP.
What do you mean by "mean" OP?
>>7820864
First off, that's not a picture of Kant - it's Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi.
Has /lit/ read Bob Woodward?
What are your thoughts on his books, his "narrative nonfiction" writing style, and what are some similar works by other authors.
I loved the Brethren, great inside look at the Supreme Court in the 70s. I am also a huge law nerd tho, so your mileage may vary
>>7820792
narrative nonfiction is a massively varied area, what are your interests? because you have everything from roman history to modern sports to global politics and everything inbetween
>>7820796
I'm reading "The Choice" right now. I'm probably going to read "The Agenda" next, then tackle "The Brethren."
>>7820801
Probably election oriented, or just generally political. Honestly, I wish there was a "narrative nonfiction" book for every American presidential election of modern times. Unfortunately, I can't find many other than "The Choice" about 1996, and the John Heilemann and Mark Halperin "Game Change" books just seem too gossipy and flashy.
Although non-US political narrative nonfiction would probably also be interesting to read.
