/lit/ - Literature

glad you enjoyed the mammoths, hope you get over that bad case of retard

Fact: Everything is made better by including mammoths.

>>1013133
Yeah, that part in À la recherche du temps perdu when the mammoth suddenly ruins Proust's living room in book 6 really owns the whole series. I was like, blah blah blah emotions, nostalgia, cookies, but then HOLY FUCK!

Oh look a thread on a children's book.

How cute.

>>1013147

Children love reading about brother on sister incest and weird old fucks raping their daughters. Total Newberry medal bait right there.

>>1013147
>complain about books you secretly like
>bump the thread while doing so

>>1013133

Dawn of the Mammoths. Make this happen, somebody. I want zombie mammoths before the end of the week.

>>1013154

>Implying I'm a nerd.

Why would I ever read this?

>>1013158
>I'm not a nerd
>posting on 4chan

>>1013161
^ he still watches Saturday morning cartoons!

>>1013172
>he can't even greentext properly

>>1013158
Get the fuck out of /lit/, Jesus

Why would you even post on 4chan if you're not a nerd

>>1013183
He is a nerd. He's just pretending not to be to make him feel better about his lack of social skills.

>>1013183
Because he's A JOCK, come to beat up on the NEEERDS!

>tribal oxidizing

>>1013194
Nonsense. Jocks can't use computers.

>>1013183

>Implying /lit/, /sp/, /fa/ aren't different from the other nerd infested boards.

The only nerds on /lit/. are the sci-fi and fantasy lovers who cling to their children's books like a nerd to his anime.

Why do you even read this garbage? This is no different than Twilight, mediocre writing, cookie-cut characters, predictable plot.

Face it nerds you're just as bad as the twifags.

>>1013194
NEEEEEEEEERDS!

>>1013198
1984 and Brave New World are science fiction. They're also serious literature that you probably had to read in school at some point.

>>1013198

Leave the nerds alone, you're hurting their feelings.

>>1013202

>Comparing Huxley and Orwell to god know's who writes this fire and ice shit.

Oh wow.

>>1013198
Face it, you're a really bad troll and fuck you. I kindly invite you to get the fuck out of /lit/.

>>1013198
By posting on 4chan you instantly become both a nerd and a gigantic faggot. It is a scientifically proven fact, nerdfag. You're one of us now.

>>1013206
Problem, hipseterfag?

>>1013206
>Comparing yourself to a good poster

Oh wow.

>>1013204

A large majority of /lit/ views sci-fi and fantasy as having no literary value whatsoever.

I am one of those people.

So I think it would be far more logical for you to leave /lit/.

>>1013198
Hey, I like my Vernor Vinge and Neal Stephenson, and I'm an ex-army sergeant and fraternity man. Beat that, wimps.

>>1013212
>a large majority
>tripfags and 5 anons

I can pull outlandish claims with no basis in reality out of my ass, too.

>implying reading about a young girl doing headstands in a stable was'nt god teir.

>>1013212
A) I run this shit. Fuck you.

B) Those people are wrong. And dumb. They are dumb and wrong. Seriously, I can't emphasize enough how dumb that viewpoint is.

C) Fuck you for being dumb. And for being a stupid-ass high schooler who talks shit about books he's never read to seem smart. Or a troll. In any case, again: get the fuck out of /lit/.

>>1013212
A majority =/= just you alone.

I don't care though I like my books and you can go die in a fire if you think this makes me a child.

>>1013215

>He's mad because someone rightfully called him out on his children's literature.

Also these neckbeard threads are killing /lit/.

>>1013212
The vast majority of people in this thread seem to disagree with you on that issue.

ITT: A troll and some really mad nerds.

>>1013220
>neckbeard threads
>killing /lit/
>implying you can kill something that has no life
>implying /lit/ could be anything other than another shitty 4chan board
>implying hipsters aren't far, far worse than neckbeards will ever be

>>1013221

>A few sci fi threads every now and then

>Almost every single one gets somebody in there talking about nerds and how sci-fi is for children

>>1013220
yah, yah, yah

what's killing /lit/ is /mu/ posters who have to troll every sf&f thread with "CHILDREN'S LITERATURE MANCHILDREN READING BOOKS FOR CHILDREN"

>>1013223
This is the biggest fucking troll. It is what's turning /lit/ into /mu/.

>>1013220

>implying /lit/ wasnt a dead board when first made without all the fantasy and sci fi threads.

>>1013227
>implying that the whiner who hates sci-fi isn't the same hipster posting over and over again to try and make people think like he does

>Reading thread

>Slightly boring made-up literary bitching with some shit about nerds and a guy going off to Troll Boot Camp.

>If it were to suddenly get some giant mammoths, it'd be FUCKING AWESOME!

To be honest.

I think that guy is a douche.

But I agree with him. There are giant mammoths in this book appearing out of nowhere.

Come on now.

>>1013231
We should actually, like, deal with this shit

Can we just have a policy and fucking ignore this troll? Like, can we all agree that it's a blatant, blatant troll? I'll ignore it if you guys will.

>>1013244
Yeah, but down that road lies /mu/. Big picture here, guys.

>>1013242
I'd ignore trolls if it wasn't so fun to fight with them.

>>1013246
Could be worse. Could be /v/.

>>1013240

There are giant mammoths in this book appearing out of nowhere.

>implying tryrion doesnt mention them in the first few chapters talking to jon

>>1013247

we dont read books just argue about them, i thought that is what we did already.

what an excellent thread

>>1013269
Welcome to 4chan.

FUCK EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD.
recaptcha: then Erasmus.
I BET NOBODY KNOWS WHO THE FUCK ERASMUS IS. IF JUST ONE CAN NAME THE AUTHOR OF THE MASTERPIECE WITH "ERASMUS" AS THE MAIN CHARACTER I RESTORE MY FAITH IN /LIT/ ALSO NIGGERCAPS.

/lit/ really has become a board full of hipster faggots just like /mu/. YOU DON'T BECOME A BETTER/ DEEPER/ MORE INTELLIGENT PERSON FOR LISTENING TO CERTAIN BANDS OR READING CERTAIN BOOKS. In fact you can read all the great literature this world has to offer and still be a complete retard.

>>1013311
>implying we became a board of hipster retards

We were born like this.

>>1013311
Are you irritated, sibling?

>>1013294
>implying Erasmus wasn't a real person independent of your masterpieces

>>1013294
That was easy.

Why can't we discuss the actual books instead? Like how do you think this god forsaken war will end now that all the "good" parties have been eliminated?

>>1013347
Idunnolol

Seems like Jon will eventually join up with Dany to fight The Others with dragons and direwolves, but that almost seems too obvious for ASOIAF

>>1013347
>Like how do you think this god forsaken war will end now that all the "good" parties have been eliminated?

It won't be ending anytime soon. The Lannister regime is crumbling, Stannis has come back with a vengeance, Littlefinger is making a major play for the Vale, and the Tyrells and Martells are at it again. Not to mention the High Septon's new army...

>>1013372

What about Tyrion and Daenerys? I think if they were to work together they'd be able to quickly seize the seven kingdoms with their army. If they ever get across that ocean that is.

Damn, it's been so long since I've last read any of these books. A dance with dragons where?

>>1013372
I don't think Stannis will be much of a factor, in Jon's spoiler chapter from ADWD it sounded like his relationship with Stannis is about at a boiling point and Melisandre tells him that he sees Jon in the fire over and over again. I think Jon is going to be forced to kill Stannis at some point, Melisandre will name Jon Azor Ahai, then Stannis's army will swear fealty to Jon, but that's just a crackpot theory.

>>1013385
>What about Tyrion and Daenerys?

Dany is hunkered down for the moment and Victarion Greyjoy is on his way across the sea. I don't know what Tyrion has planned, but as much as I like him I don't think he's clever enough to outwit Littlefinger.

>>1013372
I don't think Stannis will be much of a factor, in Jon's spoiler chapter from ADWD it sounded like his relationship with Stannis is about at a boiling point and Melisandre tells him that she dreams Jon in the fire over and over again. I think Jon is going to be forced to kill Stannis at some point, Melisandre will name Jon Azor Ahai, then Stannis's army will swear fealty to Jon, but that's just a crackpot theory.

>>1013294
On the contrary, Anathem is one of my favourite books. Pretty cool guy, knows about quantum mechanics and doesn't afraid of anything. And a thousand pages means I can read it for a whole day.

Mine was "niggers seagoing." Ironic, eh?

>>1013391
>Melisandre will name Jon Azor Ahai, then Stannis's army will swear fealty to Jon

In that case, I would think that the army of Melisandre's god and the Holy army of the Seven are going to come to blows

>>1013391
And then there's Robb's will which MAY have named Jon his heir. He's going to have some interesting decisions to make if any of this stuff comes true, especially if Rhaegar and Lyanna are his real parents.

>>1013414

So you think Jon will sewer his ties with the night watch? I mean he technically rebuked all of these material things the moment he joined. But the situation being at it is, it is not that unthinkable that he will screw traditions.

Nerds.

Nerds everywhere.

Get out. Now.

>>1013683
No.

>>1013683
>Nerds
>4chan

you don't fucking say!

>>1013363
Daeny conquers Westeros, and Jon allied with (or in command of Stannis' army) goes to war against Dany. Only one will survive.
It's already been established that the Targaryens are batshit crazy fuckheads and Jon seems like the only dude chill enough to rule.

>>1014212
The popular theory is that Jon and Dany will marry and re-establish the Targaryen line in true Targaryen fashion. There is speculation that Tyrion is the third head of the proverbial dragon.

Oh dear god, that Troll was right. This is some terrible nerd fan fiction.

>>1013294
Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson


U mad?

Whatever happened to Varys? He let Tyrion go and just dissapeared.

Everyone seems to hate Jaime now, the kinsguard is just sellswords, Arya has the worst luck out of anyone in the series, and Sansa just sucks all around.

Who will be the new heroes? Other than Jon/Dany, and maybe Tyrion.

>>1013294
Erasmus Montanus, sucka.

Or Erasmus of Rotterdam?

>>1014274
>Sansa just sucks all around.

I disagree. She's being groomed by Littlefinger right now and I could foresee her becoming a Cersei with less crazy.

>>1014244
I seriously want to see them fuck shit up instead of unite. I dunno, maybe it could be a marriage of convenience to end the war. But Jon is not a Targaryen and I don't want any more fucked up Targaryen kids on MY country's Iron Throne. We've had that system of government already and look how that fucking worked out.

>>1014296
it's implied that Jon is the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark

>>1014244

Only one problem with this: Dany can't get pregnant anymore, or at least it was heavily implied. So what will they do for their heir?

>>1013294
Ludvig Holberg, naturally, quite a funny read too.

>>1013683
this is what the average e/lit/ist really believes. They forget that reading high literature is much more nerdy than reading some light hearted fantasy novels. The cool people sure don't read Kafka or Hemingway you silly nerd-hating nerd.
