/lit/ - Literature

this is a breakthrough how did you figure that one out

The only posts "outsiders" make are:
1. Help me pirate X.
2. Suggest a book/do you have those suggestion pics.
3. Help me with my homework.

That shit doesn't deserve any replies.

To be honest, I really just wanted to post this comic but could think of a good topic, so I thought I'd vent my disdain. I don't give a shit about lit during the day. And you're one of the reasons.

>>1092874
Then there are the people asking about the books that aren't either

1. Altas Shrugged
2. Kafka
3 Dostoevsky/other pseudo-philosophy posts
4. Joyce
5. Crappy sci-fi/fantasy

>>1092876
>be upset over tripfriend
>supposedly doesn't care about lit

Agreed

but at least it's a few people, I dread the dead hours, when it seems as if only 5 people are on /lit/

>>1092882
the thing is, those threads usually get some requests, it's just that there's usually not enough people for a protracted discussion

>>1092886
Oh, I care about lit. I just prefer it when I'm at work from the hours of 11:00 pm to 7:00 am. Usually sometime after 4:00.

>>1092888
I kinda like lit when it's not so crowded. I usually get threads started about books or authors I actually care about during those hours.

>>1092898
>>1092896
>lit is too mainstream for me during the day i prefer it when less people are on

>>1092902

They like it when you're not there.

> correction made

>>1092902
You're silly.

Actually, lit just seemed obsessed with eras of literature that I don't care about during the daytime. My favorite author is Dickens and it doesn't get more mainstream than that, saving Shakespeare, of course.

>>1092913
Forgive me, I meant to say, "During the daytime, lit seems obsessed with eras of literature I don't care about."

>>1092913
Dickens is only popular cause he wrote long novels with unrealistic characters

>>1092919
Kind of true. Dickens is popular--or was popular--because he wrong interesting stories about interesting people. He believed each individual was as eccentric as his characters. He had more faith in mankind than I do, but God love him, he couldn't get over the idea that people are worth looking at and learning about.

>>1092931
*wrote, not wrong. Not sure where that came from.

>>1092919
he wrote accessible novels with memorable characters

We need to rid this board of the trips

Stagolee is terrible
DeepandEdgy or whatever is a douchebag
Alexandre the new guys also sucks.

/lit/ was better than this once. Now, like every other board it's filling with trolls and the interesting people are leaving en masse.

I can hardly remember the last time I saw Same or jp, two of the tolerable trips around. That Marcus Aruceiud guy was okay, and he used to be the lowest of the trips, but at least he tried to add valuable discussion.

Hell, I don't remember the last successful wishlist thread on this board. We used to be about something here, we used to have generosity and spirit, now it's just the Stagolee show and the assholes that egg him on.

feels bad man

>>1092919
What do you think of my trip I just got.

>>1092947
i think everyone should have some reference to me in their name field

>>1092946

what is this i don't even

>>1092956
We're all confused. It's just a fucking forum.

>>1092946
I love literature, but don't give yourself an ulcer over some twelve-year- olds who act like they've read anything but the Nancy Drew.

>>1092946
lol rose colored glasses
there have always been tripfags on this board and they have always been awful.

>>1092969
Agreed.

>>1092937
>>1092931
Interesting point of view.

>>1092969
>>1092973

Prepare for change. The new king of trips has arrived.

>>1092980
you're even more of a cunt than the other tripfags

>>1092985

Prove it.

[spoil]Hey, Stag! U jelly?[/spoil]

>>1092975
How is that an interesting point of view?

>>1092969

I don't know man, I kind of agree with him. It's gotten a lot worse over this summer. Honestly, the decline has coincided with the arrival of Stagolee.

I can deal with the daily Ayn Rand and Catcher in the Rye sucks threads, but the attention whoring is starting to get out of hand.

>>1092969

on a side note, this thread is now about books.

I just finished Rules of Attraction the other day. Did anybody else find it as mind numbingly morbid as I did?

>>1093002
It goes away somewhere in between 2:00 and 4:00 AM CST. Guess that's about Stag's bedtime.

>>1093004
you're not even a tripfag
you're just a namefag
and that's even worse because namefags are just tripfags too retarded to work out how to use a tripcode

>>1093009

theyseemerollintheyhatin.jpg

>>1093010
Yes.

>>1093002
Stagolee was around before the summer started, don't put the blame entirely on him.
it's pretty much everyone's fault.

>>1093015

care to elaborate any further. discussion is key here, you guys.

Yeah I've been tripping since April and I tell you I'm really getting sick of all the summerfags and jellies who think I'm new here

>>1093018
I agree. If we'd not reply to trolls and stop giving people like Stag any attention, this board would be much better.

>>1093020
Pick a better book to discuss. That one was a sucky choice.

>>1092868
IT'S JUST LIKE BOOK CLUB!

>>1093053
There is a reason I don't join any book clubs.
