Postmodernism is hugely over represented on /lit/ because it's the easiest for LARPers and 99% of /lit/ can't or don't read.If you speak about classics or proper literature to educated fellows you will be quickly uncovered if a LARPer. It's like lying about foreign language proficiency. You can fool the naive a little, but only that. You need actual knowledge.But postmodern slop books by the likes of DFW, Pynchon, Calvino, Gaddis, are perfect for the /lit/fags. They are analogous to the modern art fags whose 'art' can be recreated by a 4 year old. The postmodern novel isn't designed to be read, just like the "banana taped to a wall" art isn't made to be actually viewed. It's a LARPing circle-jerk. The postmodern writer sells the drug (pseudo-intellectualism) to the addict (the lARPing /lit/fag). The drug is consumed when the addict drops their dose on the board or, more rarely, to people unfortunate enough to meet them in the real world. Little rocks of pseudo-intellectualism. Their eyes will roll into the back of their heads as they post total bollocks about the supposed meaning of meaningless books (that they haven't read).Unlike the based classics enjoyers, the /lit/fags are able to hide behind the smoke-screen of postmodernism. If called out they can claim you 'don't get it' like they do, you should 'read it again', or drop some abstract pseudo babble they picked up from another LARPer on youtube. They will never be a real reader
I couldn't help but notice that you made this thread instead of a thread analyzing a work of classic literature.
>>25508717You're intepretation of the OP is wrong and surface level [1]. Did you even contemplate the (frankly very obvious) pacing and callbacks?[2]. I don't see why people have such a blindspot to this. Anon was quite clear about the pacing shadowing a marathon. It's a post about jogging, and not jogging, at the same time. The duality of man [3]. I've read the OP four times now, and I still discover new things each time. [1] In so far as we can be bound by topological references when discussing lit[2] previous posts by OP and others [a][3] Full Metal Jacket. 116 minutes.

so what am i if i read both classics and postmodern books? metapseudointellectual? or could it possibly be that i just like reading in general independent of what social box that puts me into? this categorization seems born of anger and not of a genuine desire to broaden your artistic taste or inspire others to do the same. if anything it is you who is the pseudointellectual, if being an intellectual means that you enjoy learning in general

>>25508616What's your favorite part of Plato's "Apology"? It's a pretty basic, introductory work so I'm sure you've read it. If you take more than a few minutes to respond to this and if you use AI or quote from Wikipedia you lose the game btw.

>>25508616Why don't you just do the sensible thing and read science fiction from the greatest minds that have been writing in recent history? everything profound, that's modern, has been written in science fiction
>>25509118The meta point of the thread is that you are a larper. I find that far more compelling than straightforward interpretation.
>>25509133Is that what they teach you school these days?[84]. That the only point of reading [85] is for the purpose of categorizing and naming the content within? To call people larper? [86].[82] Barcelona’s public education system is organised into several stages: early childhood education (0–6), primary education (6–12), compulsory secondary education (12–16), and post-compulsory education (16–18). Schools are publicly funded and generally co-educational. Catalan is the principal language of instruction, alongside Spanish, with some schools offering additional language programmes.[85] Reading in a moving car can sometimes cause motion sickness. The eyes focus on the book while the inner ear senses movement, creating conflicting signals in the brain. This may lead to dizziness, nausea, headaches and discomfort [c], making it difficult to continue reading.[86] The fictional game combines the classic strategy of Battleship with the languages and cultures of China and Norway. Players secretly position their boats on a shared grid, calling out coordinates in either Chinese or Norwegian. Adding unpredictability, every attack is determined by a strange 47-sided dice, producing numbers that can dramatically change the course of the game. Players must remember vocabulary while carefully tracking their opponent’s fleet. Tension builds as boats disappear one by one. Victory comes when the final enemy boat is sunk. The successful player must immediately shout “larper!” to claim victory.{c} Discomfort is the mind’s resistance to change: an unwelcome disturbance that can nevertheless reveal hidden truths, challenge assumptions, and mark the beginning of growth.

>>25509131I audibly laughed out loud when I read this.
>>25509486The hyperlink was blue, which seemed reassuring. Blue meant ordinary, harmless, somewhere else. He clicked it. The page changed, but the new page contained another blue hyperlink leading directly back to the first. He clicked again. Page A to Page B, Page B to Page A. At first he assumed it was a technical error, then a joke, then perhaps some obscure internet puzzle. He refreshed the page, opened new tabs, pressed buttons. Nothing worked. There were only two pages, each containing the other as its sole exit.He began imagining himself as a pachinko ball, bouncing endlessly through a machine whose rules he could not understand. He remembered fragments of the outside world: a Citroen 2CV car, chiptune music from an open window, and a man who thought he was an East German Stasi officer but, unknown to him, was only kept around by his colleagues because they were attracted to his wife. These memories seemed increasingly important, although he could no longer establish whether they had actually happened.Years passed. He grew old. His hair became white, his hands trembled, and his eyesight deteriorated. Yet he continued clicking the hyperlink because there was nothing else to do.Eventually he stopped thinking about escape. The two pages became less like webpages and more like the fundamental structure of existence itself. There was no longer a sense of imprisonment because imprisonment requires remembering somewhere else.He clicked.Page A.He clicked.Page B.And somewhere at the beginning, a younger version of himself was sitting before the screen for the first time, looking at a blue hyperlink and thinking that clicking it might take him somewhere else.
