/lit/ - Literature

Worthless as the demographic on 4chan works against it, but I do feel like I have to note this is kind of silly to do.

As silly as getting into a pointless argument about Twilight?

>>477192
About, yeah. But to be fair you have something of a point. I guess I've always just been antagonistic to the idea of frittering away the little online anonymity we have.

You own cheap clothes and furniture. Your hair is unkempt and you have an ugly hipster bracelet and camouflage pants. You read Les Miserables because you wish you were more important than you are.

On the contrary, I feel that his hair is fantastic.
Nice jacket, bro.

Protip: Don't post your pictures. You'll get flamed.

Also, don't listen to the people putting you down.
Prolly better to delete the thread quickly.

>>477199
Yep, that pretty much sums me up. Except that is a camouflage blanket.

>/lit/
>camwhoring
No.

This is me reading a book. You could tell I'm reading because I am wearing reading glasses. I have sad eyes because it's a sad story.

>>477222
>you dress your pet(s) up
>you have child(ren)

>>477220
I've never been called a camwhore before. This day is momentous.

I'm terribly sorry if I'm soiling the sanctity of this image board by posting an image.

you queer

>>477229

Bro, I've seen huge aggro for people posting a pic of their bookcase, let alone themselves.

>>477245
Does my sexuality offend you?

holyshit hipsters

i like you op and like your thread; if i had a camera i'd join in, but i don't, so i won't; regardless, ignore the haters, they just doing what they do

Saddest can also mean pathetic and by pathetic it can mean lame, right? Cause I don't own any tear jerkers.

Who's your girlfriend?

>>477313

The picture might be a bit misleading; That's actually The Five People You Meet in Heaven. I didn't find it that sad.

Tuesdays with Morrie got me though.

>>477304
Under that logic, Mitch Albom definitely fits the criteria.

>>477304
You're gorgeous!

>>477403

Your sarcasm is noted. On an semi-related note, someone once told me that I sound like Ellen Page.

please no, I don't want to see a bunch of pretentious looking nerdy guys

>>477404
Nawww, I'm being genuine :D

>>477404
I think you're looking fine. I hope it wasn't sarcasm.

You're cute!

>>477410

The emoticon convinces me that I'm being trolled.

Your eyes do concern me, your right one looks like an anus in that pic. Little sleep?

>>477432
:|
I'm sorry then. :(

>>477432
This one has low self esteem, I think. Take a compliment, we think you look good!

lol hay guys rate me lol!

>>477181

Holy shit your picture, lol'd because what you look like is EXACTLY how I imagine every /lit/ poster as looking.

Not that you look bad or anything. It's just funny that you fit my stereotypes 100%.

Rate me /b/

>>477468
This is what I imagine a /b/-tard looks like.

>>477465
Hilarious. I think I'm going to make this my background.

>>477181

are you wearing a tweed jacket?

Jesus Christ, I always knew that 4chan was a bunch of hypocrites when they complained about hipsters and shit, but I never thought I'd have photographic proof

>>477443
>>477444

Oh... Alright. Thank you very much. I do have low self esteem...

>>477444
It sucks, mainly because I fell in love with her.

>>477485
You're just made because I've liked everything that's cool a few years before it actually became cool.

>>477496
Crap. That's supposed to be "mad" not "made".

>>477494

It's probably a man.

OP is a good troll this whole thing was staged and he probably normally does not look like that.

6/10 not bad at all

>>477504
Then it is a very pretty man.

>>477508
I do look like that. I could provide more pictures for you guys to photoshop if you'd like.

>>477513
tits or gtfo

>>477504
That's fine.

>>477513
Where do you shop, Urban Outfitters?

I love that place!

>>477541

Ginsberg really is shit-tier, thanks for giving me a good representative quote to use.

>>477515

Why do you keep saging?

>>477533
Actually, I got the jacket at Goodwill. Of which, only adds to my being a hipster, I guess.

>>477304
D'aaaw, you're so cute.
I would skin steal you.
Bangs, for the win.

>>477545
You're welcome.

>>477556

Thank you, I think. I like bangs.

>>477550
Do it.

I imagine you wearing like a fedora, with dress shirts and a tie and suspenders with oxford shoes everyday.

I'm pretty sure I know the person in the OP's pic.

Too Upload or not to upload? Hmmm, my picture on 4 chan? Idk....

>>477602
You should do it.
It obviously won't be as cool as when I did it, though.

I want to do this but I really look like a 17-year-old faggot (which is exactly what I am, well not literally homosexual but you know what I mean).

Ehh. I dunno if my self-esteem can take the beating. Part of me wants to do it to see if I can take it, though.

>>477636
Go for it.

>>477181
that's the barnes and noble abridged addition, I'd be crying too

>>477636

I'm >>477304

Go ahead and do it. People seem to be pretty kind. I'm sure you're cute.

>implying this is the same person

Fuck it, tear me to shreds.

You look like a normal dude. :)

Not sad, but whatever.

It is the same person. Does greentext not work anymore?

You look nice, I love that Raoul Duke thing behind you.

Look normal

Nah my room just has shitty lighting.

But my skin isn't great, that much is true. I've been using lotion though.

Samefag as

>>477636

Dammit that post was total troll-baiting whatever.

inb4 someone recognizes me (christ that would suck).

If you had told me yesterday that I'd ever in a million years find myself camwhoring on 4chan (let alone /lit/) I'd have said you were crazy but hey look here I am.

Book is Boethius De Consolatione Philosophiae. He wrote it while he was rotting in prison waiting for an unjust and torturous execution so it is pretty damn sad, hard to get any sadder than that. The man was a fucking genius too (inb4 "herp he was just another neoplatonist late antique catholic blablabla")

>>477757

sup dude. havent seen you in class recently.

>>477676

This guy here, why do we look as I knew we all would?

>>477796
Because the idea behind the thread was to look sad while reading a book that made you sad?

Man, you must be friggin psychic.

>>477801
I knew you'd say that.

>>477778

You're welcome. It makes me feel great that you called me hot. Thank you~

>>477780

Why don't I get to battle to the death?

Atempted trollface, fails miserably.

I second the notion. You ARE hot.

Saddest book I own is either Hamlet or Lolita.
But I'm not posting a picture.

>In conversation repeatedly she would catch herself up, trying to pretend that her remarks had been made in wilful jest, when actually they had been uttered with all the venom of which a foul humor is capable.

>She was no more disturbed by other people as such, than the marble statue is by the flies that crawl on it; however, as possible harbingers of undesirable events and wielders of unfavorable influence in her own life, she accorded other people supreme importance. She would say: "Other people rule my life," and it was true. But she allowed them to do it only because her superstitious fancy had invested them with magical importance regarding her own destiny, and never because their personalities awoke any profound sympathy or understanding in her.

>>477957
at last, someone that agrees with me that Lolita is sad and or depressing as fuck. That book left me broken after it was done with me.

Joseph Conrad.....probably Lord Jim ....the ending just leaves you devastated...either that or Conrad's Victory......

see what happens when we have post-your-picture threads in /lit/

I agree, look at these bitches posting their face instead of tits. It's revolting.

It works when you have team efforts. I swear to god. This kind of shit is the fucking worst.

Camwhore threads are almost impossible to kill

That's what makes them so dangerous.

Never come back dickface.

Hi, you must be new here. You see, as a female you are not supposed to post a picture of your face instead you post a picture of your chest but here's the tricky part, your chest must be naked and with the date and time written on a piece of paper next to it.
Silly female, I understand you can't grasp these simple concepts all at once due to your limited female brain.

I lied. I was sad at the end of The Road

Well, it was through the internet, so I couldn't exactly do that.

OP didnt even read that book! The spine isnt even broken!

>>484445

>>484445

Maybe he holds it just so that it doesn't crack. I do that with my books because I can't stand the sight of a cracked spine.

>>484459
I loaned a book to a friend and got it back all cracked down the spine and water damaged. NEVER AGAIN. I hate wavy wrinkly pages.

>>484468

I think I may have borrowed my copy of "Fear & Loathing" to someone but I forget who because I was probably drunk at the time.

>>484468
aw gawd tell me about it, I can't stand people who feel the need to fold read pages back behind the back cover. I've even seen people squeezing to flatten it down.

>>484459
Yeah, I do that, too. Loaned some out: Cracked spines.

>>484574

What's wrong with tweed?

>>484672
Maybe he just knew how to dress.

>>484687
No. It sounds like the clothes were wearing him. If people come away with the impression that he was trying and failing to appear to be something, then the clothes looked like a costume on him.

If he succeeded in wearing them properly, people would come away with the impression that he looked good.
