>gormenghast trilogy

Well /lit/.. My 7 year relationship and 1 year engagement just ended.

I am left with a feeling of sorrow and despair. I feel as if I will not ever find such simple and beautiful love that I had with this women, and that I will be doomed to float in this purgatory we call life.

Books for these feels? My depression has came back and I feel hopeless.

But isn't that basically how the world works?

Hello friends. I am birdboyanon. I am back. I have something to discuss. How long is too long for an epic fantasy series.

I have identified more 'turning points' I want to address for my historian. In my planning the entire narrative I have found that I have many turning points. Each of these in my planning have become either a single novel or trilogy. This is all still framed under the meta-narrative of a historian piecing together the past to understand a future threat. For reference this all takes place over a roughly 350 year period, carrying the world from a equivalent to the late renaissance to the near future. The materials that the historian consults changes from old journals to film to eventually talking to actual still living survivors.

I see the turning points as following:
>The invention of chemical warfare leading to the first world war
>The invention of audio recording devices leading to the fall of Vulkur colonialism.
>The invention of anesthesia leading to the finding and subduing of the Susajahi.
>The invention of a television equivalent & mass media leading to the collapse of the Osini faith.
>The invention of the digital computer leading to the ascension of a Tas Da Raken.
>The previous two conclusion events leading to a second world war
>The space race leading to the discovery and coveting of the Sumori Suhai.
>The invention of an internet equivalent leading to a global memetic plague.
>The the conflict the historian is preparing for.

All in all I have these and a few other ideas and it is hitting the point I can see 20 or more books of material. Am I just being autistic?

For the most part, no, just like with any particular type of guy. I feel like it's mostly the hyper-extroverted beta females who go for the introverted guys. Remember the chatty bookworm sluts that you hated in high school? Those.

I'm going to Paris to visit my wife I'llbe there for a month. While I am there I would like to learn some art history. I'd like to read a chapter or two on a specific style or era in the evening and then spend the next day looking at examples in a museum. Do you have recommendations for an art history book formatted in a style conducive to this?

Guys, I think I'm really going off my rocker.

I have to write an essay concerning the interactivity and simulation involved in new media for my digital media culture class, and I'm using 4chan as an example. I talk a lot about cybernetics and simulacra and what is really real blah blah, but I just looked read through it and started having doubts. Can I have some feedback from you guys? I'm not really sure what I've written is suitable for a research paper.

Anyway, I'm thinking about just saying fuck it and writing a hilarious paper because my teacher's a fucking idiot and it's the first assignment so whatever

>4chan, defined as new media in this light, begins to appear less like a regular website as we take for granted today, and more like a self-consuming digital super-organism that, much like the Blob, subsumes everything it comes into contact with–including the hearts and souls of its contributors–only to regurgitate the half-digested content back out into the world for poor and desperate internet users to re-consume out of absolute starvation, only to inevitably excrete back out into the never-ending intestinal whirligig that is the Godzilla-sized amoeba known as 4chan. But then again, so does any website upon further inspection, I suppose.
