>tfw you realize you can't be punished eternally for whatever you do, "you" will end, and the body attached to you will slowly rot

feels liberating man

I always thought the book's English name was really misleading, it makes it sound like he's saying civilisation is generally fine but there are some degenerates who didn't make it.

'The Uneasiness in Culture' is a more direct and accurate translation.

literature isn't supposed to be FUN
you're not supposed to finish a book with a SMILE
they don't take a PICTURE of you at the plot climax
there's supposed to be Panting, BLEEDING, followed by MONTHS of NIGHTMARISH INTROSPECTION

THAT'S FUCKING LITERATURE
NOW GET OUT

He had so much left to give...

good literature has never been fashionable.

he made some great gatsby threads from time to time, and his tier lists did generate discussion.

Even if you didn't find his trolling funny, at least he was honest in his absurd blatancy (which seems to have gone over the impenetrable skulls of /v/).

Besides all that, Quentin was an integral part of this board's history. He always acknowledged /lit/ as being his home, and he belonged to all of us.

If I can't find any support for Stag from the anons, i'll have to wait for SLAF, Ty and D&E to drum up some resistance.

We're gonna turn /v/ into a maelstrom of regret.

You don't use a comma to introduce a list, you use a semicolon.

But I like that image, it unveils nicely the crass pretentiousness of the wannabe intellectual 'defenders of the oxford comma'. Reminds me of all the faggotry when Pluto was properly classified as a dwarf-planet.

Fuck the oxford comma. It's completely obsolete and jumbles up the sentence.

also where is Hitler's moustache?

I assume you are alluding to this passage from "Hitch-22" by Christopher Hitchens:

>One of the great advantages of studying under Christopher Hill at Balliol was his magisterial command of gossip about contemporary historians. I recall one occasion with particular vividness. Hill had been working all morning on "The World Turned Upside Down"---his study of the fringe religious sects of the English Revolution---when he complained to me that he had been interrupted by a phone call from Maurice Bowra. (Bowra would die later that year, lending the anecdote a peculiar poignance.) Hill groaned as he recounted how Bowra had called him because Eddie Thompson had just been arrested in a men's lavatory near Wardour Street, where he had been found sucking the toes of Tom Driberg, the flamboyant Member for Barking, in a disused stall. Hill sighed deeply and remarked, "I grieve not so much for Eddie, but for the joy this news will bring to Perry Anderson."
