Propuso la fecha enviando miles de cartas a cien países, obteniendo gran respuesta, y la celebración se oficializó en la provincia de Buenos Aires en 1979. Friendship Day (July 20th in Argentina and other countries) was created by Enrique Febbraro, an Argentinian dentist and professor, inspired by the 1969 moon landing, which he saw as a symbol of human unity. He proposed the date by sending thousands of letters to one hundred countries, receiving a great response, and the celebration was officially established in the province of Buenos Aires in 1979.Comment too long.

This book changed my life for the better
>>24946749I shant
>>24947468Caring about a woman's feelings is gay
>>24947641Obviously a guy who would write a book like this doesn't have what it takes
>>24946749Reading how another man makes women cum and using that information is kind of like getting cucked for the rest of your life. Just experiment and you'll work it out eventually, it's not hard but it does require practise and patience.
>>24948225Does this knowledge hangup apply to any other topic, or just sex
What is there even left to read after him?? Why is his prose so good?
>>24947033I just know you pride yourself on the dullest pseudslop imaginable
>>24947080Like what? Stephen King? Is that the phantom that makes you feel good? The modernist I like is Yeats, and subsequently the post modernist I can enjoy (sometimes) is Cormac.
>>24947292>I'm too good for Nabokov>McCarthy on the other handIt's all so tiresome

>>24948130You have several formatting errors. I don't edit for free, pay me.
>>24947996One trick I stumbled upon is pasting all the text into a rentry or pastebin and feeding ChatGPT the link to it. Unfortunately, the response length is limited, so if you want specific editing, you'll have to paste in one small chunk at a time. And I don't trust ChatGPT for anything else. I wasted your time. :)
>>24947959bros I urge you in the strongest terms to not use GPT to get "ratings" about your writing. want to spot typos? tense slips? shit like that? go ahead. but what in god's name are you doing playing with imaginary ratings systems on your art. bros... you're not that dumb are you?
I want to learn how to write better prose. Which author is considered the best modern GENRE fiction prose writer. Any genre. No women.
The hard part about keeping consistent tense is that sometimes, writing sounds better in a different tense and I get greedy. If I didn't care, I could do a good job with tenses without help.
>another mid whore catapulted into fame and fortune for existing That's it. This has gone too far, the woman problem HAS to be addressed now. Simping is an epidemic that is destroying society and it's only going to get worse.

Can we fucking delete this threadLITERATURE BOOKS
In his 'Lectures on the Mind for Young Samurai', Mishima reflects on being called a nerd for his love of literature during the war.He argues that today's nerds use literature as a safety zone to hide from the real world.He distinguishes between two types of literature.The first, which he calls second-rate, is relatively harmless; it acts as a comforting teacher, offering simple moral lessons and inspiration to those who are struggling, giving hope to the heartbroken, teaching that money isn't everything to the poor, and comforting the weak.The true danger, he warns, comes from "real" literature. This first-rate writing reveals the frightful fate of humanity and teaches through beautiful and captivating prose "that in this life an irredeemable evil lurks at the bottom of human nature", leading the reader to a nihilistic precipice and abandoning them there without solace.The greatest problem arises when nerds who consume this powerful literature fall under the illusion that they arrived at its profound conclusions through their own effort.This creates a false sense of superiority, leading them to become cynics who mock all human effort, sincerity, and passion from a detached and powerless position.As a writer, Mishima knows this "poison of literature" intimately, and admits that he only found a partial antidote later in life through physical action.Comment too long.

>>24944696>He was dealing with dudes like Osamu Dazai back in his time. Must suck to be pseud dealing with actually talented person LMAO
>>24947151Too bad no one talented associates with you or else you could tell us about it.
>>24944969The mind can't be moved like that anymore. It's the 21st century.
>>24944475He died following his principles fighting for a world that could never be, while you cum on yourself lying alone in bed every night only to wake up still fat and gay and alone in the morning, believing in nothing.
it's pretty incredible that people still think that humanity as a species is benevolent even though we have destroyed over 70% of all wildlife on earth
Do Tolkiendrones realize that fantasy existed before Lord of the Rings and that it suffered greatly from Big Fat Fantasy and other sloppy derivatives that grew like viruses from Tolkien's wen? https://voca.ro/1Rwc7lMX0hfT
>>24948167That's the point tho, worldbuilding is something tolkien introduced. A fantasy detatched from tolkien's tropes would need no worldbuilding either, meaning it would have to return to the format of old fables where fantastical creatures and lands exist in the same world as ours.
>>24948156>I am le gigachad and you are le crying wojak, that's why I write walls of text everytime someone criticizes my slopGet real
>>24947856LotR is about defeating fascism
Tolkien is a master and Lord of the Rings is one of the greatest pieces of fantasy literature of all time.

I just finished reading Journey to the West for a book report. holy shit Chinese books are awesome. Does anyone have the china /lit/ recommendations?
ching chong bing bong.
>>24947522>>24947530Is it worth to learning some Mandarin for Chinese literature? Chinese history and literature is very rich and the language doesn't have any irregular verbs, conjugation, and genders.
>>24947747Learning enough mandarin/classical chinese to fully enjoy and understand the nuances of chinese literature as well as a native (or better than a translator) is basically impossible.
>>24947749you can still get to the ezra pound level of understanding, which is not bad
>>24947530>>24947549how challenging do you think water margin is to a casual reader? been curious about that one for a long time. also I guess which of the 4 great classics there are the most accessible?
How do you learn to philosophize? I read philosophy books but i never learn to philosophize. I never learn to use those fancy words like epistomoleogoogy; i only learn what they kinda mean but i never have a sure feeling of it and have to look it up all the time. Is philosophy only for high iq people? I feel utterly lost so much so i don't even bother to talk about it with other people.
When i put my writings into GBT it says im a philosopher with interesting ideas
>>24946932honestly? i think it looks great. suits her.
>>24946020its a bell curve. Master of philosophy uses simple and concise words. Midwit philosophizer uses the thesaurus with veracity of someone being paid by the word. You need a direction. Are you contemplating society? What counter arguments can others bring and what is your answer to them? How does the idea translate into reality? Generally avoid stuff that requires/is build on accepting an unsubstantiated premise.
>>24946020According to chatbot soon to be overlord, GenZ likes Aquinas, Nietzsche, Marx, and Camus. Dosto also made it in there too. I can see why these guys are popular.Since you're still hung up on IQ I ask you to consult pic related. You don't have to leave grog. People will always tell you that you might be better there or worse there but you won't know for sure. If you make it to Wittgenstein you fully understand the everything is an accident from linguistic confusion thing and you can't know if you were better or worse off regardless of what anyone says so keep that in mind. Enjoy the midwit phase while you can. Once that passes you're stuck and the best you can manage is a flattening into grogstein.
>>24946020You need a foundation of grammar, logic and rhetoric. Those are the tools of thought which we have been denied. The great philosophers didn't just sit and make up everything, they had a classical education as foundation.https://libgen.li/edition.php?id=137170227https://youtu.be/AOcy6RHw7A8

>>24946956>Greyjoys are overshadowed by Harlaws, Goodbrothers and Drumms (by prestige)But if this is true, why do irontards follow the Greyjoys into another war when they already led them into an embarrassing defeat well within memory?
>>24947379Emphasis on the "tard", because Nagga chose a Grayjoy 300 years ago, and because most Ironborn lords are retards who want to rape and raid, and no Harlaw would take that initiative because they know better apparently.
>>24947108>ESLSpeak in high valyrian.

Is this kino? I have to pick between it and shadow ticket at my bookstore.
>>24944836Faggot.
>>24944790no, it's shit
>>24946437In what way?
>>24946656There's a chapter that purposes to imitate Finnegans Wake. Of course, the chapter resembles Joyce's masterpiece in none of its beauty or greatness. And this is because Alan Moore's goal wasn't beauty or greatness, it was imitation.
>>24947498Yeah, I saw a short interview where he said "it's longer than the Bible! I've written it for ten years, it's enormous – not that quantity pretains to quality". He does seem to have written it purely for it to be the "thousand page long, dense, unforgettable novel".

I just learned about Samuel Delany's support for NAMBLA after being a massive fan of his work, particularly Dhalgren, for years. He made statements from the 1990s where he described their bulletin as promoting "sane thinking" on the age of consent and positioned them as a dissenting voice in the gay rights movement. I'm so disappointed.
Just ordered thisWhat am I getting into?
>>24946190I like the NRSV
>>24946167>and Jehoshaphat begat Lemuel who begat Erud who begat Aram who begat Samoch who begat Asraphal who begat Penuel who begatWow so beautiful and inspiring, let's turns to another passage>he shall take a sheep of the flock a year old, and a hin of oil and a kor of flour, and he shall make a cake of the oil and he shall make a cake of the oil ans flour, of choice flour, to dedicate to the LORD as an offering, and he shall slaughter and prepare the lamb and the thigh he shall place on the fire as a burnt offering, of a pleasing odour to the LORD, and the priests shall burn the entrails thereof as an offering, but the flesh ans the forelimbs they shall cook as their own portion (continues for 100 pages)Brilliant stuff, brings a tear to my eye
>>24947336>isn't everything after the gospels, maybe aside from revelation, just expository teachings OF the gospels?Uh no? Paul never read the gospels, wtf are you talking about.
>>24947413Paul did meet Jesus, though. That encounter is so important there are three references to it in the Acts of the Apostles alone (Acts 9, Acts 22, Acts 26). Paul's meeting with the glorified Christ is the most significant event in world history outside of the gospels themselves. Have you people even read this book?
>>24946190Based, it's wildly out of date. Use the NRSVue instead
I'm really enjoying this so far. Don't see ti mentioned here often (or ever?). The narration is great. It feels conspiratorial and ironic, like he is leaning over my shoulder and laughing with me at the vanity of these people. Where are the Stendhal enjoyers at?
>>24938995Just finished reading it last week, in French. Really enjoyed it.
My translation said julien sorel was of below average height, but I never hear anyone saying thatIs that not present in the original/nost translations?
>>24947720He is a twink bro, Narrator says so a dozen different times in the first part of the book. He is a pretty little twink and the french girls love him.
>>24947720>but I never hear anyone saying thatDo you really need someone to mention every aspect of a book? Fucking idiot.
>>24947720It's a Napoleon parallel
