We're having a lit meetup in New York on Saturday.

Sick of shallow book talk and blank looks when you bring up serious literature or philosophy? If you’re in or near New York City, come to the NYC /lit/ meetup on Saturday, July 18th. We’re here for raw, unfiltered discussion. Meet in person and say what you mean.

If you're interested email nyclitmeetup45@gmail and I'll give you the place and time.

Every time I go to one of these meetups I never even poke my head in. I'm always just a table away with my head buried in one of the Big Lit 3. I'm always hoping one of you guys will say hi, or ask me what I'm reading, or what my favorite chapter of Ulysses is.

But now it's been a few times and no one has said anything to me. I'm beginning to get a little disillusioned. Do they even know that I'm reading one of the meme trilogy? It's like I'm not even there and the craziest part of all this is I'm a really hot girl.

Pic related is what I look like.

If you live in NYC wouldn't it be easy to find a book club or someone to talk about books with that aren't channers?
>>
>>25405937
Why would you want to do that?
>>
>>25405937
that sounds like a recipe for ugly women, trannies and faggots
>>
>>25405937

These are literally all women or leftists. I'm in a bunch of them and they're just not interesting. Everyone is afraid to say slurs or anything serious about the writing; every actual writer in NYC is, while not explicitly right wing, predatory and dominant and able to actualize themselves in a way that would never be congruent with a "girls get together and read for an hour then meet a new friend :)" sanitized situation.

What happened to the boston lit meetups?

I've been to normie book clubs in NYC and they were boring because 90% of the people didn't read interesting books or have interesting thoughts about books. I don't regret it, tho.

I just realized I could go to the NYC meetup.
I could go to the Boston one.
The Wikipedia page for my town says I’m right in the middle of those cities.
Fuck that though. Imagine me, all these years on /lit/, over 10 to be exact, and even more than that on 4chan in general, glued to my screen, and not once have I seen these threads and thought hmm maybe I should go, but now I feel more confident about going outside and everything, and still, I would never want to hang out with you faggots.

I was walking through Times Square one night and a crowd of tourists were just fucking standing there in the middle of the sidewalk. I was in a rush to catch a bus so coming up I let out a loud, "excuse me!" Then I heard one of them behind me go to the other tourists, "I'm walking here!" I should've turned back and yelled, "No shit, faggot!" God I hate tourists so fucking much

>Do I have to have read a certain amount of books this year?
no everyone talks about stuff they read years ago mainly high school lit ya stuff like tolkien got ij so you will be fine
>Will I be bullied and turned away for not reading enough?
as long as you remember enough about the stuff you read to have an opinion about liking it or disliking it you will be fine there is not any deep discussion
>I'm mostly a /mu/tant who comes here to find new stuff to read that isn't Burroughs or Kerouac
you will fit right in it is like a dorkier vu group sunglasses inside that sort of thing although one of the two times i went a douche in a suit showed up with his cross eyed gf and passed out business cards with a qr code for his yt channel where he plays a harp and reads poems

There's nothing quite like these gatherings. Very interesting to see those of us willing to cast aside anonymity, even if just for a night. I don't always know what the hell is being talked about (especially at very loud venues), but when I do, it generally grants fascinating insight into a unique vision of the world. I'll have free copies of CC for like 5 or 6 of you at the next one.
Picrel is from the interesting venue. I left that copy of CC there. I wonder what will happen to it.

Strange, contradictory attitude towards photos. >Organizer says no posting any photos from the meetup online

Interesting time. Trite sentiment, but it would be accurate to say it was everything and nothing I expected.

I tried to go to an /o/ meetup years ago. Spent hours driving out to the first meeting spot, even brought a big tub of homemade cookies with very little human semen in them. Didn't find anyone. Asked the thread where everyone was with no response. Waited a while I went to the second meeting spot, waited more and never found anyone. Drove hours home. Later that night someone posts in the thread "yeah just a couple guys showed up at first so we decided to all go home and forget about it."

Also tried to organize a /k/ meetup in my home state once. Everyone who responded to me was either underage, had a psych record and wasn't sure they could be around guns, or liked the idea of going but their social anxiety kept them from leaving their house.

I punch the funders of cars when they are near me in the crosswalk. Sometimes guys get out of the car and we yell at each other for a while in the street.
But as for tourists, I hate them so much only because they keep the african sidewalk purse merchants in business. I have no idea how retarded you'd have to be to buy a fake prada bag from an african on the sidewalk that will likely just rip or have the zipper break in two days.

Please only post photos of actual meetups, not fake pictures from some random person's IG story. I heard there were 3 anons there and 1 of them left after like 20 minutes. Everyone here is coping there is nobody that reads in NYC.
