/lit/ - Literature

pic related, it's what she looked like, only prettier and less slutty.

This blows.

It's a good book. Only hipsters don't like Catcher in the Rye.

off topic posts?
more proof anon is the cancer.
no wonder the real posters use tripcodes to differentiate themselves.

>>1621027
>>1621027
i don't think you can just bandy the term 'hipsters' about like that.
it's:
A) An incorrect use of the term
B) A negative thing to do as it means the term loses all meaning.

>>1621035
>>1621035
sorry CAPSGUY i deleted it coz the last thread was full of trolls and anons whining like Holden does

THE DUCKS

WHERE DO THEY GO?

The best part of the book was when Holden got owned by the taxi driver. I smiled for hours.

lit is all about Brownbear. We come here not to discuss books and authors, we come to read about him and what he thinks is witty. He wasn't always here, but it's his board now. He wrote the sticky! He has a greentext thread every night! All in favor of changing the name to /bb/ say aye!

>>1620998

oh look another shitposting tripfag

>>1621070

post about Brownbear, or don't post at all, reported for not mentioning Brownbear.

>>1621082
I did post about Der Fuhrer. I posted about how he's a samefaggot.

>>1621074
>>1621074
you sir are the shit poster
please stay on topic or refrain from being cancerous

BB srsly I need for you to be nicer to the next one. swallow your pride so she can swallow our weinies

cancer

>>1621211

You tell 'em Brownbear! Stay on topic! Those are the rules!

>>1621218

"Wiener". It's a German word. In German, "ei" makes a long "I" sound.

I'm usually not That Guy, but "wiener" is such a funny word & it deserves all the respect it can get.

>>1621227
I goofed.
I goofed hard.

>>1621233

It's no biggie, I mean, it's still a funny word.

Could be worse. That guy from Jackass has a tattoo that saws "weiner".

>>1621249

*says. Fuck. Ya know what, fuck the English language. Fuck reading books. Wiener poop fart. I'm going to /b/ where I belong.

>>1620998
WOW BROWNBEAR

I AM AMAZED AT THIS POST

ELABORATE, WITTY, UNPREDICTABLE, AND ABOVE ALL NON-DUMBNIGGERAL

BROWNBEAR BEST TROLL OF 4CHON

>asking about a book =/= trolling.

oooooooooooooookay

>>1621302

Brownbear, keep these guys on topic! Order must be restored!

>>1621302

"okay"? Was his praise not satisfactory? How about mine? Which do you like better? Please say you like me better.

>>1621310

Take it easy! It's 6 AM and Brownbear is exausted! He's trying to keep this thread on topic, and at the SAME time discuss nihlism in another thread! Anonymous is so stupid!

>>1621315
Oh shit, what if he gets mad at me?? That will harm my chances of someday meeting him in person & softly cradling his balls against my cheek!

>>1621315
Oh no I forgot! BROWNBEAR GO TO BED! Enlightening us isn't worth it. /lit/ will have to survive without you. OH GOD THIS IS TERRIBLE

Brownbear, this is Lisa. I'm sorry you're not planning on calling me, because I really got the impression that you were actually quite submissive, and might enjoy coming home with me so I could paint your face with makeup like the whore that you are and put you in that cute little outfit with the short skirt and make you bend over my kitchen table, your ankles nearly breaking in the uncomfortable, unfamiliar high heels strapped to your feet, quivering, your pink anus tensing with nervousness and anticipation while I rubbed my huge cock hard and worked it into your virgin ass, reaching around to caress your tiny stub of a penis until you come shamefully with tears running down your face, smearing your makeup and mixing with your blood and our sexual waste. Maybe I'll run into you at the bakery again soon.

didn't even read
but it's probably not very lit related

>>1621347

it was very /lit/ related

>>1621348
lol of course it was, it was posted by Brownbear

silly anon :)

so has anyone here actually read CITR and want to talk about it?

>>1621392
I'd rather just listen to you talk about it, Brownbear.

>>1621392
BB, PLEASE DO WHAT YOU SAID AND STOP POSTING FOR A WEEK. THAT WAY ALL THE FAGGOTS WILL STOP AS WELL.

>>1621392

We'd all much rather talk about your throbbing, circumcised member.

>>1621392

>>1621392

Look at Brownbear keeping us on track! He is like a sherpa! As stupid Anonymous veers all over the place in his Catcher thread (it's very cool to call it CITR) he steps in and rounds up them doggies! There will be no chaos here tonight! Even exausted, at 6 AM, Brownbear makes sacrifices like this for the good of his imageboard, lit!

>>1621397
>>1621397
hi tom

>>1621394
>>1621394
eh i think i may capsguy, just to catch up on reading
at least post less often

>>1621399
Brownbear, I would like you to stick your cock in your fanboys mouth so maybe he'll shut the fuck up.

>idc if it's a troll or not. Jesus, he's worse than Fabulous and D&E's retarded love child.

>>1621401

Brownbear just greeted his fellow tripfag, Tom Hardy! Tom Hardy forgot to put his trip on, or maybe he's flying under the radar! Brownbear wasn't fooled though, because the man in Tom Hardy's image is kind of Tom Hardy's "signature"! He always posts that man! Literature!

Why don't you just ask /lit/ about Catcher in the Rye? Why does there have to be a long pretext in which you attempt to establish how much cooler and well-read you are than the average bear? (Oh shit, I typed that before realizing you're a namefag, with the trip Brownbear)

Also, was it the point of the pretext for you to come across as socially awkward? If so or if not, do you really want a bunch of strangers to associate your tripcode with a guy who alienates members of the opposite sex who may have been interested in him just to show literary superiority? Is that really how you want the Internet to perceive you?

so is this your first time posting on /lit/ or

>>1621440
Nah, I've been here before. I guess I just never stayed long enough to realize some people used /lit/ as a dick measuring contest.

What the fuck has happened to this board?

>>1621443
So, how is the dick contest going? I just know Tofu has the smallest, but what about the finalists?

>>1621453
Why did I come back?

>>1621458
in this context having the smallest dick is a good thing

you;re a cool dude

>>1621462
Oh, thanks! You know, the way you said it, it seemed like you meant something else.

>>1620998
you know... just go fuck yourself. tripfags like you should die.

>>1621480
Well I don't like that at all

>>1621480
>>1621480
boo you whore!

>>1621492

You tell 'em, Brownbear. Anonymous is the cancer that is killing lit!

> you guys like cats?

>>1621496
Blegh.

>>1621498
Yeah man I got a cat. We get along as well as a human and cat ever have.

>>1621498
>>1621498
i have 2 of them
they're cutie pies

Reported.

Stay diligent, Anon.

>>1621492
Unrelated, but your image is labeled "Brandon Frasier..." and it isn't Brandon Frasier in the picture. Maybe you're being ironic, but maybe not.

Also you're a pretentious douche.

>>1621532
>>1621532
i'm confused?

Oh. My. God.

>>1621542
>>1621542

Hell yes.

going straight to page 15 with my reason

>>1621600
>>1621600
huh?

Horrible book why is it regarded so highly? Loser kid doesn't want to grow up, a nation of losers relate to it and feel what? Inspired? Remorse? Hated this book it doesn't teach you anything worth knowing. But then again i'm extremely independent live out of house at 18 work and put myself through school and I hate everyone

>>1621641
>>1621641
I'm not far enough into it to judge, apparently it's massive with Americans and less so with the rest of the world, where are you from?

>>1621656
California, the golden shit hole of America. We are the kings of strip malls and enabling parents.

My car broke down about 60 miles from civilization and this book was in my glovebox since highschool. I decided to read it while waiting for a tow. I didn't understand the part when he thought he was being molested, he said it had happened to him like four times or something. Perhaps why he didn't like his school because he got raped or something, also why he had trouble with girls, seeing as how they liked to be mock raped, in order to blame the young men for anything that goes wrong.
I like how it ended, it made me feel like i could have closed the book at any point and have been done reading it.

Does Catcher have any Modernist elements like Gatsby does?

>>1621720
well he's a bit homophobic. so thats one of the first things thats pops into his head whenever he thinks a male is acting weird towards him. i think he was just scared of the intimacy though because like it might not be good enough or repeated afterwards so he sort of scares himself with the pedo thing. its interesting how he says its happened before. i doubt the could all be pedos but at the same time its kind of weird that so many people would have tried to reach out to holden in that way.

bump greatest american novel

Brownbear, I swear you make at least 3 of these green-text story posts per week. They all are lies.

>>1621800
>>1621800
excuse me but that's just downright unpleasant.

>>1621821
I believe them.

>>1621825

good because they're true

everyone who made any attempt to contribute to this thread is inferior

I find it hard to believe that anybody who posts on /lit/ every day talks to girls with any success.

I really don't see what people's problem with these threads are. They're just a silly and entertaining way to introduce a /lit/ related topic to talk about. I can only assume you're all just desperate to flame about something.

>>1621881

You tell 'em Brownbear! I mean, Anonymous *wink wink*! Who do these flamers think they are? This is what lit is all about! All about Brownbear! And sometimes Fabulous!

>>1621874

Well, it may stem from his brother's death. Not too much about the death is revealed explicitly in the text, however Holden's issues reveal how disruptive to his development the death was. His fear of intimacy simply stems from a repressed fear that any close relationships he ventures into will end in the death of his close friend/girlfriend. Perhaps the fear of pedophiles stems from constant rapes his father delivers.

>>1621895
>Perhaps the fear of pedophiles stems from constant rapes his father delivers.

>>1621900

Do you have another reason to explain why he fears so many people are pedophiles?

>>1621894

>>1621936

Ha ha! That's funny Viginia W00f! I'm mad! Mad that Brownbear went to "start his day" is more like it! Now I have to keep bumping his thread, and at the same time make sure people stay on topic ( tybrax is helping with that too). It's a good thing Brownbear pulled an all-nighter, or I wouldn't have even bumped into him earlier! Brownbear!

ITT: Views on Rye bread

I'm not keen on Rye bread. It's too dry.

Pic related it's brie and HAM ON RYE bread. Therefore /lit/ related.

>>1621948

If Brownbear were here, he wouldn't appreciate this fast one you're trying to pull! Why does Anonymous always have to be the problem?? You are the cancer that is killing lit!

>>1621948

Thanks for reminding me about Charles Bukowski. Is Ham on Rye a good introduction to his writing?

>>1621956
Yes, actually, Ham on Rye is a pretty good place to start.

Bukowskis progression as a writer starts with his autobiographical novels (Ham on Rye, Post Office, Factotum, Women) with a bit of short stories mixed in here and there (Hot Water Music), before he finally firmly deposited himself in poetry.

Personally, I like his books of Poetry the best, but if you're going to read his novels (which are good), Ham On Rye is probably the best place to start (its the earliest chronologically, dealing specifically with his childhood/adolescence.)

If you want something for a shorter attention span, just to see if you like the flavor of his prose, pick up Hot Water Music... a collection of his short stories.

>>1621956
Yeah, I'd recommend it as an intro. You could also check out some of his poems, but I'm less into them tbh. Factotum is also nice.

>>1621960
>>1621961
is bukowski real?

This is the cover for my new novel, Catcher in the SKYY. It's like Salinger's poopfest but in the style of Tao Lin

>>1621967

Tybrax??? Come on, man! The board is counting on you to help keep Brownbear's thread on-topic! Don't encourage Anonymous, they are what's wrong with this place! That and all the butthurt castaways from r9k and new! Brownbear, we need you over here buddy!

>>1621967
No, of course not, we made him up to troll you.

>>1621972

Haha! Another good one, Virginia W00f! Keep it up! You do a great job with those in Photoshop!

>>1621978
>implying I made that.
>implying I use photoshop instead of mspaint

>>1621997

Sorry! My mistake! Brownbear!

>>1622000
it was some anon
yfw

>>1622002

That is my face, I'm blue because I'm coming to terms with the fact that Anonymous is the cancer that is killing lit!

BB, if serious, you will never get laid.

>>1622008
I dont think BB is serious, he's too much a cheap parody of the /lit/erati.

If he is serious, it means he sets out every day with a prop book with the intention of creating a scenario where he can either look down his nose at a girl, or not, depending on where they fall on some imaginary scale of literacy...

which, is kind of pathetic.

>>1621960

I know this anon isn't here anymore but thanks for the advice my good man.

>>1622158
... actually, you're welcome. I hope you enjoy, Ham on Rye was an incredibly fun read for me.

>>1622006
You're
so
angry

>>1622014

If u dont like bronbaer then get off lit cuz lit is bronbaers

>>1622167

Virginia W00f, that was not a very timely response! I made that reply hours ago! Where's Brownbear when you need him?!

>>1622176

That's not a very timely response. Virginia W00F made that post hours ago. Where do the ducks go when you post things unrelated to the topic?

>i tell her of this board and how she can go here to discuss some books and maybe learn something
