So you can just straight up copy Joyce and get published? Interesting...

As shit as Pynchon is, at least the genre fiction slop he wrote is original.
>>
He hadna read Seamus Choice . . .
>>
Is this the new /lit/ meta? Pretending to be retarded?
>>
Please please please OP. Just get over it. Move on with your life for your own sake. You’re going to go insane here on /lit/
>>
>>25206509
How many threads has he made now? He kept one Gaddis thread bumped to the limit and another Pynchon thread too. Why doesn't he just discuss literature with others instead of making threads like these?
>>
>>25206516
Honestly, I’m not even sure if he engages with his threads either. Something tells me gas hasn’t read any of the books he shits on (or even praises)

>No fragment of time nor space anywhere was wasted, every instant and every cubic centimeter crowded crushing outward upon the next with the concentrated activity of a continent spending itself upon a rock island, made a world to itself where no present existed. Each minute and each cubic inch was hurled against that which would follow, measured in terms of it, dictating a future as inevitable as the past, coined upon eight million counterfeits who moved with the plumbing weight of lead coated with the frenzied hope of quicksilver, protecting at every pass the cherished falsity of their milled edges against the threat of hardness in their neighbors as they rung together, fallen from the Hand they feared but could no longer name, upon the pitiless table stretching all about them, tumbling there in all the desperate variety of which counterfeit is capable, from the perfect alloy recast under weight to the thudding heaviness of lead, and the thinly coated brittle terror of glass.

What makes you think it is pretend?
>>25206516
He drops the thread once someone puts in the effort to show he is a moron or just ignores him and talks about literature.

>>25206552
Uh, English?

Now, now many anons love these threads. And we must give the anons what they want :^)

>>25206832
That is not a compliment.
>>
Are you the same anon who talked about "taking down" Gaddis and Pynchon and DFW in that one thread?
>>
>>25207019
Probably, if I recall correctly the posts looked like something a teenager’s anime OC would say.

Who are your favorite writers?
>>
>>25206463
Not similar to Joyce at all besides the use of em dashes
>>
>>25208488
He isn’t going to reply but I’m kind of curious too. All we know is who he hates but I can infer he likes Joyce. But Joyce is one of the most beloved people on this board so it’s not exactly anything unique.
>>
>>25208488
>>25208810
He posted a list in the previous thread, it was a fairly standard "classics" list, the big names and a few big names that seem obscure to non-readers. He linked the thread above if you really want to know.
>>
>>25206463
Ulysses?!? That business again…
>>
>>25206498
What makes you think it is new?

There are actually midwits on this board who would put someone like Gaddis or that genre fiction writer (forgot his name...Thomas Pinchon or something like that?) as "literature" over Visual Novels...baka, /lit really is dead.
>>
>>25210630
His name is Tommy. A-And his JR is like a proto-Subahibi, that William Slothrop-Bianca sex scene gives me Saya vibes.

I see what you're saying. Gaddis and Pynchon are definitely below anime tier. I agree with you and the OP on that. Pynchon is a hack and the more midwits see it the better the board will be.
>>
>>25210630
>>25210663
>>25210668
It's really nice of you guys to post in a more intellectual manner about how unliterary Gaddis and Pynchon are. We need more anons like you.
>>
>>25210630
Agreed brother.
I've read 10 or so pages of "Gravity's Rainbow" before such toil became unbearable.
If excellence or even a minimum of literary decency was valued by the participating individuals of this literary discussion forum one would see fervorous hatred for the likes of Pynchon being displayed throughout half the catalog, in the form of "Pynchon Hate Threads", however, instead, one sees a coordinated network of masturbatory postmodern sarcastic unstable degenerates proclaiming one "pynched" (degenerate neologism), and calling one "chud" for denouncing what any rational mind would immediately perceive as a grave, unpardonable, insult: the promotion of written material that reminds one of the putrid culture of Reddit.
Pynchon's postmodern degeneracy is not limited to literature as one would think. I try pointing that out every day, but it has been costly. During the last few months there emerged a pattern: I wake up, and I am tormented by visions of that one hyuk hyuk photograph before I am even conscious of my own surroundings. This preposterous daily postmodern attack sets me in agitated movement towards my personal computer to initiate what, in the end, I know will be a lost battle against postmodern forces of evil. I therefore make an appeal to every user of this intellectual literary discussion forum to join efforts in a campaign to sabotage any attempt at cementing Pynchon in its zeitgeist, thus achieving some level of purification.
The fire rises brother.

>admits to not having read it
>admits to letting Pynchon live rent free
I guess this is progress of a sort.
>>
>>25211213
It's a pasta (pynched, hyuk hyuk), and an actually funny one. Reminds me of Confederacy of Dunces.
>>
>>25211217
Reposting your own post from a couple days ago is not pasta, just sad.
>>
Did that drunkard break you so hard that you ended up suffering psychosis or something?
>>
>>25211221
All pastas started as individual posts. And do you not see the comedy in being tormented by visions of Pynchon's buck teeth for months, despite only reading 10 pages? "agitated movement towards my personal computer"?
I didn't even write it, I'm responsible for:
>Pinecone is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a redditor, scat fetishist, pervert, pedo, looney tunes, Joyce ripoff, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a glowie and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out."
>>
>>25210630
It's pinecone
>>
>>25211245
Jesus you suck cocks
>>
Is this guy still spamming gaddis and pynchon threads to “take them down”? At least in the pynchon threads he always posted anime pictures so you could fikter his retarded posts. Did his “visual novels are literature but Pynchon isn’t” thread get taken down?
