What do they read in china?
>>24855955Books in Chinese probably
>>24856006indeed unlike us in the enlightened west glued to interesting apps like tiktok, instagram and twitter.
>>24866146even us here in norway mog you.
>>24866779>Do you know?Mao wanted homosexuals castrated and since homosexual behavior is clearly morally degenerate western values of individualism buoyed along by elite Bourgeoisie, this type of male and behavior does not exist in China.
>>24862080>Far more interesting is the philosophical justification for why China is built like this but that's too much to get into herebook recs for this?
>You cannot be both a good parent and a good writer.Is it true that having children nukes any chance you have of achieving greatness? Is the tradeoff worth it?
>>24867315Retarded helicopter parent nonsense.
>>24866620John Rockefeller Sr. had a loving wife and five children, and he was great. In addition, he said that his wife's advices were wise, and without it he would not have achieved the greatness he achieved.
You are not going to be a famous or successful writer. I do not say this on the presumption that you lack talent. I say this because the entire publication industry, as well as academia and review literature, have been wholesale corrupted by various cultural trends, leading to a situation in which great ability causes one to be less likely to succeed, while fashionable hacks go "viral" to a stunted reading audience. Nothing in life will cause you to be more miserable than being alone. Even if you are successful, being alone will ruin whatever small joys come as a result. On the other hand you can be totally mediocre in some career at a bank or teaching high school, and so long as you come home to a wife and children who love you, you will find life is full of meaning and joy and infinite little challenges that fulfill all of your male instincts to guide and provide. Do not make this mistake OP, please, you will deprive yourself of life's joys to soothe an ego, like some sort of stupid woman chasing a career.
>>24866643Are you fucking kidding me? Tolstoy? That guy had 13 children and neglected each one of them. In fact 5 of them died of neglect, you dense motherfucker. The fucking guy decided to go die alone, away from his family instead of spending his last days alongside them.Yes, you can't be a good writer and a good father. Just search the amount of writers children that have committed suicide or have been committed to the loony bin later in life.

Does /lit/ like contemporary poetry?

The "recommended literature" link in the pinned sticky is down. Unfortunate, this was a great resource for new readers.
In a moment of weakness, I found an AI "smut" writing model that has no limits and doesn't require your emailI am now giving it increasingly deranged and sadistic imputs (brief plot outlines usually involving rape, sexual enslavement, etc.) and it describes them in vivid detailOften I ask it to extrapolate at the endIt writes like a fucking reddit post, but it is still enough to goon toThis has started to consume more than an hour of my time per day
>>24864302post-nut clarity always hits like a truck and I delete everything out of disgust
>>24865402third-liliy chiming in
Literally every guy on /lit/ would like to use the model in a fashion similar to yours or smuttier, OP.
>>24868207I thought it was like art AI, IE the kiddie wheels come off if you pay, then it will produce adult content for you.
Negroid op is baiting
I'm currently in a reading slump. Theses are the only books I've managed to read this year. What should I read next? What's the /lit/ equivalent of going to a bar coming home with a slump buster?
>>24863921Like other's have suggested, some slop, although you've already read quite a bit of classic sci-fi slop, maybe switch genre.I read a few of Steven Saylor's roman detective stories this year, very sloppish and fun. Try Roman Blood.
>>24864200>>24864128Started. l am liking it so far.
Should have told me about Tolstoy earlier.
>>24863921Just keep reading Kafka, Borges, and Asimov.
>>24863921When I was in junior high, I saw a PBS movie "the Lathe of Heaven". It was weird, and somehow unsettling."Antwerp!"
literary equivalent? https://youtu.be/tnnniIsw3b0?si=Zx8_S9knTGcXagZz
Basically in my fictional series there are people who get reincarnated into another world with special abilites, except there are rising philosophical tensions. I plan to use their behavior as an allegory for people who dont grow up and environment dysmorphia etc. as well as percieved superiority, as well as ways people treat you can cause you to disegard others. None of these people remember their past lives and live an extremely long time. One set of antagonists are two boys, one who who can respawn after death (he will never die and will not go to heaven or hell) and has healing abilites for himself and people he touches, and the other is his poor mute swordsman friend. What i was wondering is would is be kino to write them as authentically selfless for people they care about like their cult or giving up personal agendas? Like for example choosing to save his friends and crying over their deaths he couldnt reverse over achieving more power or wealth.
>>24865439The story follows multiple characters also. For example:An angered NativeA Federal agentAn evil healer
sounds infantile
Rising philosophical tensions? Sounds retarded.Why don’t you take care of my rising phallic tension instead.
>>24867074People take infantile concepts and spin it into intriguing stories all the time. And the idea of reincarnation/transportation to another world isn't inherently childish unless you consider high fantasy to be childish.
>>24868200I mostly say so because you posted the terrible art that wouldn't even be impressive if a preteen drew it.
Why is he so hatable
>>24865095He moved out of Maine and into Florida. It feels like when artists move to a place with warm weather they become insufferable.
>>24865095because you're insecure
>>24866505>I don't hate him. Actually I admire what he's accomplished as a pulp author and how he's made a lot of money. What I hate is how he won't shut the fuck up and thinks just because he writes books that people like he's an expert on everything. He's got to prove he's the smartest person in the room for some reason.whatever the minimum level of success is that is starts poking and waking up your suppressed ego (a thing necessary to begin big success)? He has long and far surpassed it. I think the recent King-hate which always existed in little circles like literature professors exploded when the twitter mob came for him. His job for a long time was to unsettle and scare the pants off the reader. He's good at it. I always enjoyed his little talk to "constant reader" at the end of his books. He seemed genuine that his success and therefor ability to keep writing was only because people like me read his stuff. Is he past his prime? Perhaps to more than likely. But hey, George Foreman had one big one left in him maybe he has one planned as well. I don't understand the "pedo"shit. I actually read "IT" in my 20s and it was still unsettling. Was the ending weird or has something weird about it ? Yes, its a hallmark of some of his books. But it wasn't pedo. Young kids, terrified for their lives, no adults in on it. I always felt Beverly was if not fucked by her dad then at least there was something inappropriate in their relationship. It makes sense she acted out sexually. One of his "eclipse" novels had a drunken bum excuse for a father molesting the daughter before the mother killed him for it. That's not "pedo". Its unsettling as fuck. If you trace enough books along his timeline, he moves from supernatural horror then begins using reality based shocking before trying it out as the whole premise. If highbrow lit is the sommelier discussing what wine will go best with your meal? No that's not king. But he's not the tight and short standard "ramp" pace formula, all within 225 pages. He's no happy meal. I suppose he's the biggest "treasure chest" from long john silvers. Takes multiple meals to get it all down. You won't like everything, some hate hushpuppies. Too much breading, too much...*whatever*, well fine. But you know what you're getting when you order it. He uses sex imagery as a way to shock the reader not titillate. Which is somewhat unique. I admit I bought Gerald's Game (young man, sue me), because the image of a pretty businessman's trophy wife, cuffed to the bed in a remote cabin for sexy weekend time? Sounded hot. Hey, King discovered sex... cool. If you've never rad it? Its zero boners out of five possible boners. And for those who read GG? "You're made of moonlight." How he took consensual adult husband-wife fun and turn it into a jumping off point to survival-horror, nothing any other author would have come up with. He has quite an imagination.
>>24866857>i never understood why is upper lip is so wide and puffed. he looks like a character from a dr seuss book. honestly if i were him i would've grown a beard or a pair of moutaches, that guy is genuinely unsettling to look at.there's a customer where I work looks disturbingly like him. I started calling him "Mister King". Its a phenotype. Slavic with a little German, going by my customer. I always mean to get a picture of me with him, like a fan with a famous person so I can gag everyone I met a relative of SK.
>>24866940calling everyone you don't like "nazi" has backfired. "What are you, a nazi?" "Yeah, now fuck off."The fallback is reverting to the old standby... "pedo". veryone and anyone "they" don;t like? Is now a pedo. I'm saying something unpopular so I guess I'll now be accused of being on Epstein Island too, I suppose. That's all the left has now? Yell pedo.
I just discovered that rhymes can be anaphores (at the beggining), mesodiplosis (at the middle) and epistrophes (at the end).WTF.I can write verses being both anaphores, mesodiplosis and epistrophes.What the fuck bros.
>>24867325>There are retards on /lit/ that pretend to be deep and yet don't know rethoric
>>24867338How and why would long-dead poets be different from currently living poets?
out of all the shit ass replies on /lit/ mine is the one that gets deleted, amazing
I got to stop what I'm doingI got to diss themGive them some constructive criticism
>>24867741Moving the goalpost again? It's not fantasy bullshit. The terms are Greek and always matter-of-factly on the nose. ἀναφορά, "carrying back", because you repeat a part and refer to it again. A good poem indeed is a form of high art of literature and rhetoric with meaning, and that meaning is transported via style and substance.
We were sent here by the creator to put an end to the current creation. You see when ITS creation becomes too corrupted and the power players become too powerful, Chuds are sent to annihilate everything in it so that a new world can be made.This is the will of the creator and nothing can stop what is coming.
Since evolution is obviously false, I can attest this is probably the truth. My only question is then: What's the end goal? Lapses of novelty within the cycles to entertain the eternal demiurge?
