What are some genuinely good erotic pieces of literature that will get my mind and penis diamonds?
Hopefully where the love interest is young.
>Inb4 Lolita

start with the greeks
>Be me
>3 years into what I consider my life's work
>4 books or so with 350,000 words total
>Go back to first chapter- Chapter that's supposed to hook the reader
>It's utter shit, goes on far too long before anything to hook actually happens
>Mfw
I'm so legitimately satisfied with books 2 and 3, I would love to see what others think about them... and to get them out there. But Book 1's opening is shite.
Can anyone else relate?
don't worry the rest is shit too
guessing it was the first thing you wrote so of course it's going to be shit
just rewrite
What is the most /lit/erary physical sensation? I'd say biting off a piece of silver filling.
walking home alone after a socially exhausting event
the coffee shits
How annoying and ugly are the ads on the kindle paperwhite?
Does the Kobo have any advantages over the Kindle? Such as not having to turn off the wlan to prevent remote detection of pirated content.
>>7802317
Buy a used Kobo, anon. Mine is from 2013 and it's incredibly simple to use. Just plug it into your computer and drag and drop the files into the device. SIMPLE.
>>7802317
>Does the Kobo have any advantages over the Kindle?
no ads
you can drag and drop anything without converting it first
no pirated content detection
For whatever reason I've never gotten ads. Not that I mind I've just never gotten ads or recommended books. For me the paperwhite is perfect.

>seems to have slightly better reading comprehension as well
>try to read faster but its like my inner voice can't keep up
>ask her if she says the words in her head while she reads
>replies with a curious "no?"
>she semi-self taught herself how to read very young (before she can fully remember) and never developed the habit of using an inner voice while reading
>tfw /lit/ lied and told me subvocalization was just a meme and not to worry about it
I want to read better, damn it. What resources or techniques would you recommend for unlearning this oppressive habit?
"the habit of using an inner voice while reading"
...? what do you mean by this? is this something that people do?
Just be happy that you found somebody smarter who cares about you.
The way you tell a story is more important than what happens in the story.
Fight me, /lit/
why would I fight someone for being correct though?
I'd much rather read an insightful philosophical concept written in greentext rather than a vivid description of your faggotry, homo
>>7802102
this is true
Hey /lit/, who are the best English translators of the following books?
>The Brothers Karamazov
>Crime and Punishment
>The Idiot
>Notes from Underground
translations are a meme you dip
>>7802106
As in, that there is any recognisable or substantial difference between translators? Or that reading books in any language beside the original is a waste of time?
If the latter, what languages do you speak?
>>7802106
Waterever you ugly cunt.
is there a liberal equivalent to this book?
i'm trying to teach myself economics and i want to hear both sides of the story.
not sure if this is a dumb question
You're trying to teach yourself perspectives of a subject by polar ideologies. Very smart.

>>7801987
Do you mean american liberal or proper liberal
Will reading this be a waste of time?
>>7801983
No.
>>7801983
Literature-wise... no.
Philosophically... yes.
>>7801983
Yes. He never even finished it.
I made an alt account just to say this but
I actually like Murakami. His novels are full of feelings and I could actually connect to some of the familiarity of life it captures.

God this is excellent bait, I was incredibly angered by it. Well done, OP.

I need to know why I was recommended calibre for ebooks and what's a better alternative
>>7801796
Calibre is the best, I don't even know if there are alternatives. What isn't it doing that you need it to do?
Who are some famous /lit/ hermits or misanthropes?
david foster wallace
Most of them
the classic lit misanthrope is Swiift
You are seated in an office in front of Tao Lin who is asking you for a plot for his new novel and possibly a few tips to help him improve his prose. What do you tell him?

Am I surrounded by heads and bodies?
All right man, so here it is. Now it's not fully formed but like its got the ideas they're. Get it. 'Course ya do. Anyway so it centers...right...centers itself on this religious group. But like it ain't a normal religious group. It's these nomadic group of people that happen to have chosen a life outside the norm. They just wanted to get high really. Get high and no responsibility. And who needs to be responsible in an automated world worked out by artificial intelligence, right? No one, right? Of course. It almost makes sense to rail a line of ambien and drive your mobile-home roaring with good friends burning good buds.
So we did that.
We kept the Bonsai Bus parked off road surrounded by trees. It's a sweet space, really. It was three of us, this particular time. In this particular place. That'll make more sense later. So...me, Rando, and Niece were under the makeshift awning we had connected to the bus. Night crept through our bullshitting.
Niece went into the bus and came back out with a plush owl. Rando lost it at the sight of the thing. He shouted at it "The Owl, man. The Owl." He grabbed the thing from poor Niece, she didn't like that so much. "The Natives," said Rando. His voice got deep. "Worshiped these Gods..." Ya man heavy. Niece went back to sitting down. Giving up on the antics all together. Rando began decorating. I guess I helped...haphazardly.We had lights, mood lighting, right. Made some faerie rings in the mud. It was kinda cool.
We about finished things up and Niece wasn't seeming so hot. It don't ever get too bad anymore but still no one wants the heavy. She seemed like she really was gonna catch it.
That's all I got so far
