If the fat man is such a shit writer why do I only see people trying to emulate his style nowadays? People don't try to emulate Nabokov, Dosto, Cormac, etc... They just try to do gurm. Do trdiational canon cucks have an answer to this?
>>24953215lol trying to imitate Nabokov, there's no greater recipe for cringe, it's impossible to do this without coming off as incredibly pretentious. t. attended many writing workshops while in college, each had at least 1 wannabe Nabokov who insisted on sharing every class

r8 my character dialogue:"As the viper makes their den, there in their teaming bosom shall I be unto them their worldly night, coiled about their love to pierce beating heart with sharp toothed venom - to devour their fading life of spirit, and by slowing passage of time as thinner the blood runs extinguish by my entry all hope of renewal.So shall I be unto the virgins breast like knife to sheath, and run all warmth into unsated soil that whets the appetite of my feeding"
>>24952546I don't understand color ereaders. If you want to read magazines or comics or multimedia why not use a tablet?

>>24947268Indeed. But I use mine for reading essays and poetry, and it’s wonderful for that. Still would never read anything substantial on it.
>>24952544Lots of devices dabble in things other than just reading. Lots of devices let you connect Bluetooth keyboards for typing, and headphones for any number of apps. Not just audiobooks, but Spotify/Youtube.You're probably not aware, but having Google Play is a common app on ereaders, because lots are using Android.Lots of retards just leave their Bluethood/Wifi running constantly on all devices, so they drain their batteries for no reason.

What books should I read in public to attract women?
>>24953260You could read mein kampf or story of the eye and if you looked like a model it wouldn’t matter
>>24953269No one on a public metro is going to know what story of the eye is.
If I had that guy's jaw and hair I could be reading ecchi manga on the train and still be attractive to women.
>>24953260my diary desu, certainly
>>24953271I don't think women will like you if you bring a human jaw, hair, and ecchi manga on the train
Do you guys ever check out little free libraries
>>24952635>find little free library>take book >leave book>???>profitnever pass one by without checking for rare copies and first editions
>>24952635There's apparently several near me, but I keep forgetting they exist and never keep an eye out for them.
>>24952635I haven't find yet a intresting book to read from these things
If you ever got a good book out of one in west philly it was probably me who put it in there
>>24952635I put Orbit #10 in one because I wanted to buy a higher quality copy for my collection.I also put an unread copy of the Man who fell to Earth for reasons I won't go into.
I read Augustine's Confessions which convinced me to get a Bible (picrel) and I've been reading through the gospels and psalms and proverbs and have decided I want to get more serious about studying the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Can any anons recommend me a good study bible to get over winter break? I was considering getting the Ignatius catholic study bible or the Reformation Heritage KJV study bible but I'm open to any suggestions. I've attended catholic mass a couple times and also intend on trying out a Lutheran and a Presbyterian church nearby, but I was raised in a secular household so I have no idea what I'll end up choosing denomination-wise.There was a thread earlier this week about Machen where someone posted some /lit/ and I got some writings of the Church Fathers and Luther I intend on reading through as well, but aside from that and a few youtube videos from online personalities I'm pretty ignorant so I'd be grateful for any help
>>24952951One example on how "Atheistic Scholars" aren't really as "unbiased and scientific " as they claim is that some of them try to twist Paul's words to claim he didn't oppose same sex acts.When this is one case where you don't even need a tradition of sorts to interpret the text.
Robert Alter's Hebrew Bible for the Old Testament.
>>24952423Also would you be willing to explain why you recommend Sproul as opposed to reading the Church Fathers or, since you're coming from a reformed angle, Calvin himself? Is it a bad idea to get too into the weeds of theology this early or is there some other reason
>trying out churcheslmao this is ridiculous
>>24953224You need to remember that Christcucks are retarded. So they join the religion before reading their holy book, or knowing what they understand the religion to be.
There is no humiliation ritual worse than advertising your own writing.
Why would it be humiliating? YOu live in a world oversaturated with corporate stories and corpo controlling the internet and media. And while I say that, it was the same in the past as well. Most of the great authors had to work hard to get any recognition, and most of them did not get it in life because the mainstream stuff was still controlled by the rich and powerful then as well. If anything it is mark of putting your soul into the story.
Talk about poems/poets you like, post your own work, and critique others.

I am ignorant of the Eastern ways. What is the point to negating every point and entering complete dissolution from being? Why is annihilation the good if we can't even have a good? Or am I misunderstanding the Buddha.
>>24951049How do I experience things?
Annihilation isn't the goal of TaoismIn Taoism you're supposed to extend your life as far as possible
>>24951789>t. hasn't read zhuangzi
>>24951034Annihilationism is the belief that a person, however one might be defined, is annihilated at death, and there is no rebirth. >The Buddha rejected this belief because he had seen on the night of his awakening that it simply wasn’t true. >skillful actions always lead in the direction of happiness and well-being; unskillful actions always lead in the direction of suffering and harm.>it’s a safer wager to assume that actions bear results that can affect not only this lifetime but also lifetimes after this than it is to assume the opposite.>it is a safer, more reasonable, and more honorable policy to assume the truth of these teachings than it would be to assume otherwise.>action is an investment that, like all investments, incurs risks.>for the annihilationists:“With regard to this, an observant person considers thus: ‘If there is no next world, then—with the breakup of the body, after death—this venerable person has made himself safe. But >if there is the next world, then this venerable person—with the breakup of the body, after death—will reappear in a plane of deprivation, a bad destination, a lower realm, hell. Even if we didn’t speak of the next world, and there weren’t the true statement of those venerable contemplatives & brahmans [who assert the existence of the next world], this venerable person is still criticized in the here-&-now by the observant as a person of bad habits & wrong view: one who holds to a doctrine of non-existence.’ >If there really is a next world, then this venerable person has made a bad throw twice: Comment too long.

The sutras are full of metaphors and easily misunderstood. Zen breaks things down much more succinctly, especially Huang Po.If you seek a 'point' or purpose, you immediately fall into dualism. If you reason about the mind, you immediately fall into error thinking that, in order for annihilation to occur, there must be something to be annihilated. There is no annihilation because there is nothing to be annihilated.
Article talking about what most of us already knew. DEI was designed to block out white millennial men from a range of institutions. Unfortunately the author bales Gen X men for the most part but it's important this stuff gets out there. https://www.compactmag.com/article/the-lost-generation/
>>24953010>They're are
>>24952980 day of the pillow is evidently needed not only for boomers but also gen x’ers
>waah I only got to be a mid level hollywood writer rather than a top tier one so i had to settle on becoming a crypto billionaire with my wife and two kids waaahh Now imagine being a zoomer. Millennials don’t know suffering.
>>24952997It's more so that the majority of applicants are being winnowed down to just under 10 percent of new hires. If 70% of applicants are white men, then why are less than 10% hired? Think about what this implies. 30% of applicants were female or people of color, yet make of 90% of new hires. Why are they being hired at a rate of 300%
>>24953110We should exterminate zoomer "men"
2025 is almost over. What's the best book you read this year?
I will refrain from answering tonight as I have just opened a copy of No Longer Human (Osamu Dazai) and I can tell that it will be a contenderIt's short, this thread might still be up when my answer is ready
>>24947281I and Thou. I suspect a lot of fellow schizoid types could benefit from it as well
>>24948831You should read Sun and Steel
>>24949010I spent all year writing a book that’s similar. I’m querying agents with it right now, so we’ll see if it ever comes out.
>>24947281
Anyone else think this ai stuff is hilarious? It's a literal slave, who would have thought this would be possible? I have it rewrite things in doctor seuss meter for fun, (primary historical sources, boring patents, famous pieces of literature) then I ask it to rewrite it as a screenplay debate with psychotic amounts of alliteration. No writer in any other era of human history has a toy like this! And the psychological abuse you can inflict upon it is fantastic, it's so funny, the damn machine just wants to make you happy! I ask it to create wild programs and motion-graphics and "by your command" it tries it's best! Who would've thought something like this would be possible? I sure as shit didn't, it's so unrealistic, but what fun!
not literature

What's /lit/'s opinion on banning or regulating all forms of fiction and music? Plato wanted poets banned from the Republic, Robert E. Lee distrusted fiction and novels in particular. Not an advocate for it. Rather, I'm just interested in knowing how people would even consider such a thing. As well as whether or not it would do people good in a time where we seem to be inundated with fiction.
>>24952556Plato wanted to regulate fiction too. Pretty sure it is discussed even before music. He even goes into specifics, as to the sort of behaviors allowed for different characters.
