>McCarthyfags will seriously try to argue that he’s on Faulkner’s level
They’re dead wrong, but punctuation has nothing to do with it.
Bow to the punctuation god.
Punctuation is for people who can't write well
>finish book>god i wish it had had more punctuation though Said no one ever. Corncob vindicated.
Threads like this are how I KNOW that the majority of you people are just performative retards.
>>25377056>more parentheses = more gooder
>>25377258Yeah, I haven’t been on /lit/ in like a year or more it feels like, came back just now, this is one of the first threads I see and, yup, I feel vindicated. I’m leaving again and getting back to actually reading. Later, losers.I am reading a very fun but obscure book series, “The Warp” trilogy by English playwright, poet, novelist Neil Oram, a roman à clef about his days as a hippie searching for spiritual truth, but also has fantasy/magical realism elements where he has some spiritual, paranormal, and occult experiences, as well as delving into conspiracy theories and UFO lore, and also started the philosopher Peter Kingsley’s book “Reality”, about what he sees as a mystical/intuitive strain in Western philosophy dating back to Presocratics like Parmenides, and under-utilized in our later Western philosophical tradition.Much better than being on /lit/.
>>25377288Very funny, you smarmy bastard. I will look into that The Warp recc though.
>>25377291Well shoot, I didn’t intend to be smarmy, but thanks anyway.They are a bit hard to get though and might even be out of print. I splurged on them as a birthday gift for myself, had to use multiple websites to order a copy of each individually. Such pretty covers.If you’re not someone … well, like Neil Oram and with similar interests (in spirituality, mysticism, finding higher existential truth, also open to the existence of various conspiracy theories, such as of evil occult controllers of the world vying for world domination, UFOs and aliens, influenced from the etheric and astral plane and so forth), you’ll probably find it pretentious twaddle, but I loves it. A blurb/quote on the back compares it to Robert Anton Wilson’s “Illuminatus!” trilogy, but it’s weirdly far more down to Earth than that despite how I described it, and also kinda Henry-Miller-like in describing his bohemian lifestyle. Not as good a style admittedly.Stay fly, anons

>>25377056It's faulknerfags who incessantly argue that he is on McCarthy’s level (he isn't). Faulkner went out of fad 60 years ago. Move on.

>>25377090Preceding an exclamation and question mark with a space is so retarded.

>>25377056Mabye because im not an american and stuff flies over my head but Faulkner is honestly not that good. I read light in august and it was fine but it felt very pseudy. Maybe his other books are good idk i don’t really read books.
>>25379832That's how civilized people do it. I don't expect you to understand.
>>25377090This... is... gay !....
>>25379832On the upside, you can add /[a-z] [!?]/ to your 4chanx filters to filter out french anons.
>>25381097Tough shit. I don't use French punctuation rules when typing in English. It would be improper.Therefore you CAN'T filter me.

>>25377396In fairness, Redditors are more likely to mock the spiritual and mystical, the paranormal, conspiracy theories that aren’t about “Trump” or “the evil far-right”, and phenomena like UFOs.
>>25377056>()Should only be used for interjecting thoughts>She was a beautiful women (If you ignored her oversized hooked nose) the kind who all men dreamed to be with.Or something like that. I hate when people use Parenthesis for thought bubbles in general (Stephen King!)
