Why isn’t this a thing
Dark mode for electronic screens only makes sense because the screen is also the light source, so with dark mode you can read in an otherwise dark room. Here you would still need an external light, completely defeating the purpose, and it would be more tiring on the eyes to go over such contrast in a lit room or sunlight. Plus it would be five times more expensive.
>>25165780Is the color of tree bark closer to white or black, what do you think?
>>25165772I assume dark mode, which is good on screens that emit light, doesn't work as well on books that don't emit light.Having said that, the book here does rather readable.
Dark mode reading has existed for some time

>>25168751When primroses are out in Spring,And small, blue violets come between;When merry birds sing on boughs green,And rills, as soon as born, must sing;When butterflies will make side-leaps,As though escaped from Nature’s handEre perfect quite; and bees will standUpon their heads in fragrant deeps;When small clouds are so silvery whiteEach seems a broken rimmed moon—When such things are, this world too soon,For me, doth wear the veil of night.

>>25136767Can you give me a chart to learn poetry, anons?I wrote this poem a couple of years ago, but didn't learn the fundamentals or stick to it.https://warosu.org/lit/thread/20849327#p20849393
Trying poetry for the first time in a while. Darkened skies shriek their song throughout the endless galeMy tired eyes gaze upon the shifting sea of pale Colors blend and shimmer ‘cross the ever rolling plainYet I fear the end is dimmer than any man could deignAny tips or feedback would be well appreciated. I feel like the last line is a bit long and unwieldy. Think a comma right after the dimmer could add some pause to give that last bit some more punch? I'm still unclear on how to properly use punctuation in poetry.

38Il canto della rivoltait's not very good
late 20's.ESCAPE FROM CAMP 14.Living in North Korea sucks, though unfortunately i can't determine what is real and what the author is exaggerating for a bigger paycheck.either way, its a gripping story of escaping a place so horrible and bleak i do believe to be mostly true and it makes me appreciate being able to eat juicy ateaks and jack off as i please.

>>25170344"current book" nigga that book takes less than an hour to read. But yes, a lot of classics are empty due to the novelty not being a selling point anymore. I view Picassos art much in the same way. You don't seem to get the book though. View it from the perspective of Gregor with his declining mental state. He is not literally a bug, he feels like one. His family may very well have tried to communicate with him, but it did not reach him or feel like it to him etc etc. The reactions of people around him are whatever Gregor imagines in his declining state.
>>25170636I see. I did pick up on Gregor's prospects becoming bleaker, but I hadn't considered him being an unreliable narrator.
>>25153245Kino. I’m actually reading King of Elflands Daughter right now. I love it for being such a fairy tale with none of the current trappings of modern fantasy.

I get bored reading anything else basically. He just filtered every other writer for me. They'll never reach Nietzsche's insight, cleverness, and/or his ability to blend prose and poetry. Has any author ever written anything as beautiful and meaningful as the Parable of the Madman?And Nietzsche's many excellent quotes that affirm life. And speaking of affirming life, Nietzsche saved my life where Christianity could not. Before reading Nietzsche, I was suicidal, only barely avoiding suicide because it was a sin. In fact, I did try to kill myself and landed in a coma, but survived thankfully.Christianity teaching me to hate the world, life, and myself did nothing good for me. And it's my opinion that most "Christians" are lukewarm. I am not denying that there are good things about Christianity, the best people in my life have been Christian, but if you take the religion seriously, then you would act entirely differently. For example, Paul recommends against getting married. The vast majority of modern Christians ignore this.

>>25170346what is good philosophy?>>25170434schopenhauer, schelling, schiller, heine, kant, hegel (less so), he would probably say you have to read marx in order to engage with his ideas and tell him why he's wrong (although nietzsche is much more tolerant of marxism than people like to think), the greeks (of course), parmenides, empedocles, heraclitus, democritus, plato, aeschylus, homer, archilochus, euripides, sophocles (as important as schopenhauer), the "noble" stoics, the old and new testaments, and all the writings of st. paul, augustine, aquinas, descartes, baruch goddamn spinoza, hume, hobbes, shakespeare, marlowe, dostoyevsky, and more even more of whom some venerable /lit/izen is sure to remind me (and this doesn't include his "impossible ones" like dante and tolstoy)

The issue with philosphers is that they are so far up in their own asses that they fail to see what is right and front of them. Philosophers like Plato or Kant spend countless hours arguing over what the meaning of live is, meanwhile regular people have been actually living that meaning in the real world. Human nature shows us way more objective truths than any brainiac ever could. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8aWBcPVPMo

Why doesn’t he just use AI to help him finish?
>>25168330He did finish it.The show was the realpolitik sensible ending he wanted.He gave foids the one book series where women are treated as actual characters, and foids chimped out over Dannyce of Arabia not becoming GIGA SUE KWEEN EMPRESS OF EARTH, but instead doing exactly what she was always set up to do from book 1 as a real tragic populist character.So he said "fine, no ending for you".And that, friend, is a good thing.
>>25168330Bro hes overthinking it so hard, the ending just needs to wrap stuff upHe doesnt need 100 bazillion plot twists like people here consistently predictHe should just write the goddamn ending straight forward
He should farm it out to Stephen King instead.
