/lit/ - Literature

>>9073048
It makes sense because they have an audience?

Can any of them actually write though?

>>9073048
she looks like a female markiplier.

>>9073048
She's just a monegrubbing kike.

>>9073069
>monegrubbing kike

a pleonasm if I ever saw one

>>9073066
Christ almighty

>>9073048
STOP HAVING YOUR FUCKING BOOKSHELF IN THE BACKGROUND REEEEEEEEEE

>>9073165
How else are they supposed to prove they own all those beautiful books if they don't show they're covers organised by colour?

>>9073048

>deserve

Absolutely. This is the kind of thing we should be putting taxpayer's money towards.

I first read this as deserved to be punished... and wholeheartedly agreed.

>>9073048
>sit down to watch youtube
>turn this shit on

How the fuck could you watch smug "booktubers"? Why is this a constant theme?

Watch some google talks or lectures or red letter media or something.

>>9073048
She looks like she smells like cat piss.

>>9073240
Give some good Google talks

>>9073249
https://www.youtube.com/user/AtGoogleTalks

They are TED talks but are meant to increase productivity and creativity rather than make you a shemale. I really enjoyed their philosophy of the movie Inception

>>9073255

Also Hitchens who is clearly honored to be invited, and is atypically reserved.

>/lit/ reads one of these booktubers' books expecting YA garbage
>it turns out it's actually pure literature literary fiction on par with the greats
What would /lit/ do?

>>9073268
>/lit/ reads
stopped reading right there, desu

>>9073268
since /lit/ equates most contemporary fiction with YA, I would imagine this is not an impossible or unlikely scenario.

For myself, it dramatically increased the amount of new fiction that I read.

>>9073273
kek, ain't that he truth?

>>9073255
Had no idea these exist, thanks

All fucking booktubers and soods must fucking hang.

>>9073276
The thing about literature is that history gradually throws the shit out and keeps the good stuff. So good books are constantly being released, but reading them rather than older stuff puts you at a much bigger risk of wasting time on shit.
So I'm thankful to you for sifting through the bullshit for the future generations, but I'd honestly rather not.

>>9073299
But the "pre-sifting" is often done for you, either by journals, or awards, or reviews. If you have ideological concerns you can pick and choose from a variety of literary sources. The experience of finding new "good" books is exhilarating.

Lol... I don't think so.

>"I'm not interested in books published by youtubers"
>"books put out by booktubers are awesome"

This is why people hate millenials. Fucking relativism.

>>9073048
She's so fucken sheltered it makes me mad.

Also, that trademark John Green inflection pisses me off even more.

>>9073165

>Infinite Jest in the bookshelf

>>9073048
she's fucking ugly

don't care what she has to say, this in itself is a refutation

fuck me, why do these kinds of people always talk like total sssholes

>>9073048
booktubers deserve to be gassed, not published

>People who centre their lives around reading books and talking about them online want to publish their own.
Okay, checks out.

>"Let's understand the privilege..."
FUCCCCCCKKKK.

>Do booktubers deserve to be published?
She didn't really say booktubers deserve to be published. But it makes sense that a publishing company looking for sales might pick up a shitty book if they knew the author had large following somewhere.

I have a huge crush on this girl actually. She's ugly enough for me to think I could get her, but pretty enough for me to be content.

>>9073048

why does she look like shes already a 45 yr old cat lady

>>9074533
>Ugly enough for me to think I could get her, but pretty enough for me to be content.

Sad, but relatable.

>>9074538
because shes a 25 yr old cat lady?

>>9073268

i only read the greeks

>>9073048
>booktube collaboration
it will btfo totalitarianism

>These people will NEVER be lined up and shot in your lifetime

Sad!

>>9073048
What did she mean by the word microcosm

>>9073048
What's the issue here, if they can write a good book why would they not deserve to be published

>write a history book about philosophy
>decide to shit French people and modern philosophers in the latter half of the book because they do not share your hypocritical Lockean views
Why was he so salty /lit/?

>>9074712

Appealing to the lowest common denominator is not only the easiest option but typically the most lucrative. I get why actual readers resent these ezmode idiots but we've seen this mediocre booktuber Jewess on here for years now. /lit/ needs to let it go.

>>9074957
i need to stop watching this chick, she makes me question all of my major life decisions

>>9073048

I'm a Booktuber. Can I get published? I'm sure everyone wants to read My Diary DESU.

>>9074554
>it rivals even the Greeks

>>9073611
uh...but anon, they're SO book savy cause they talk about like...fantasy and, uh, stuff, so like, yeah why shouldn't they? They're apart of like this big community that like, uh, knows what they're talking about, and are like the most accredited authority on it

>>9074699
Booktube

The microcosm that is fucking booktube lmao

>>9074957
>she will never be your girlfriend

>>9074957
What is incredible here really is the extroardinary levels of vanity that she will admit too. She admits that she wanted to like the book simply so she could put it on her shelf. She calls a nice looking copy of Les Miserables "her baby" while focusing attention on how big and nice the book is. Is using vanity like this as a means to force yourself to finish and read good books an okay way of actually reading or does it remove something from it? Does she enjoy reading?

>>9073218
Same.

>>9073218
Holy shit I didn't even realize it was published until you said this. Why did my mind go there?

>>9074472
>I grew up in a house my dad paid by the sweat of his brow and now I've adopted an ideology that villifies him even though he never makes me do chores, expect me to pay for bills, expect me to pay for my college, or expect me to study anything that will secure me a lucrative occupation in my adult life. SMASH.THE.PATRIARCHY

UGH.

>>9075202
>Does she enjoy reading?
if those books aren't just a cherrypicking of pretty much all the classics she's read she has read a ton and clearly enjoys it

>>9074957

Someone quote The LXXXI Canto from Ezra Pound on her youtube.

" What thou lovest well remains,
the rest is dross
What thou lov’st well shall not be reft from thee
What thou lov’st well is thy true heritage
Whose world, or mine or theirs
or is it of none?
First came the seen, then thus the palpable
Elysium, though it were in the halls of hell,
What thou lovest well is thy true heritage
What thou lov’st well shall not be reft from thee

The ant’s a centaur in his dragon world.
Pull down thy vanity, it is not man
Made courage, or made order, or made grace,
Pull down thy vanity, I say pull down.
Learn of the green world what can be thy place
In scaled invention or true artistry,
Pull down thy vanity,
Paquin pull down!
The green casque has outdone your elegance."

And put emphasis on the "Pull down thy vanity" section.
Ty

deserve got nothing do with it

>>9074957

Where is she from in the States? Her accent sounds strange, kind of Southern-y

She's so sweet and innocent, I think I'm in love lads.

If this girl talked about lit approved memes, bet all you virgins would call her a qt;

bet i would anyway

>>9074957
Honestly this is workable
She has an obvious interest in reading if she's able to push herself through a huge tome of Dickens (who can get really annoying in long streaks).

>>9075900
B-b-back off?!?!

>>9075258
Wew.

Are there any genuinely /lit/ female booktubers?

This is the only one I have found. She has a pretty good backlog of /lit/-core classics.

>>9076470
My god....... She is incredible.

>>9076490
She's pretty qt tbqh.

>>9076492
She is also smart and literary

Remember me, /lit/?

>>9076583
No idea. I just found her one day a long time ago and thought she was qt so I saved the vid.

>>9073066
Dubs of beatdown

Look what I found

>>9076470
Why isn't she my gf
>tfw no booktuber gf who rejects the plebeian ways of her counterparts and immerses herself in trve literatvre
>tfw no booktuber gf to read you Ulysses as you go to sleep on her lap

>>9073048
Publishers won't sign you unless they believe that your works can make money. Doesn't matter how good it is if it can't generate a cash flow. It doesn't matter how shit it is either.

Booktubers already have decent followings, so there's at least minimum platform of people willing to buy that author's books.

>>9076626
Oh shit. What do we have here?

>>9076626
Underrated post.

One of my favorite "incidents" on this gay ass website.

>>9074957

nothing's better than these 6.5/10 wholesome, overly sincere white girls

>>9073268
>>9073273
>What would /lit/ do

>>9074957
She looks like she's fucking huge, just look how broad her shoulders are.

>>9074356
Fuck dude, you were right on the money with that. Now I can't unhear it.

>>9073048

Why do so many American millennials have these bloated faces of puffy lips, inflated noses and droopy jaws?

It's a fascinating evolution.

>>9079653
Must be something in the food
Hahahahaha just kidding it's racemixing

Ive often thought about becoming a booktuber and reviewing patrician classics but then I remember I'm not a girl or a great looking dude and just stow it away until it comes back again.
Anyone else know these feels?

>>9079653

Because the latent god-genes in humanity are finally being expressed.

>>9079635
I think it is her head that is small, I know a guy that has a similar problem. It is odd

>>9079662
If you pretend to be gay you could gain a following even if you're an uggo

>>9073309
in what way is alamut considered "new" for the purposes of this discussion
>>9075192
You must return.

>>9074957
She's so sincere and wholesome.

Hold me /lit/...

>>9079982

When will you cucks stop falling for this ruse?

>>9073048
the only thing booktubers "deserve" is a nuclear holocaust

>>9080005
if we thought like that we wouldn't be on a literature board.

>>9080192
deep af brah
lit a fat blunt for dat one rite ere

>>9080206
it's not deep at all. i'm saying that if we believed that women are all exactly the same and shouted "cuck" at anyone who disagreed, we'd be shouting "cuck" at literally every novelist and poet who ever existed. Even Dostoyevsky, Schopenhauer and fucking Pound had a more three-dimensional view of women than you.

It's amazing how even now, the thrust of the /pol/tard's political argument is "women only date bad boys, not nice guys like me~!!"

just leave, guy

>>9080241
Chill, man.
My shitpost had no implications.

>>9080092
Patrolling the booktubers almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

I don't really see what being a booktuber has to do with writing a book.

>>9080092
u lookin jelly nigga

>>9073048

>>9081895
what did she said?

>>9081919
That she exclusively fucks untamed kongolese bulls that regularly fill her uterus to breaking point with their superior black semen

>>9081965
I don't think she said that.

>>9081909

>and looks kind of like a really really off brand Lizzy Caplan

no she doesn't. and you know she doesn't.

>>9074957
>>9079982

she's going to be the next target. i can feel it.

can we just not do that this time and be regular people instead? we don't need another "incident".

>>9081986
We need another incident to get our blood flowing. We need a war, but we'll never get one; e're too slow, too unpopular. This is the next best thing.

Bring out the piss-bottles lads, bring out the shit-smeared Ficciones and let's start waking up this God-forsaken board.

>>9081998
I'm ready.
What's the game plan?

>>9073048
Booktubers need to be published only if their writing merits it, obviously. Talent is the only possible justification for publication - anything less is pandering and corruption.

>>9081999
Pretty simple. Leer and lech at her -- even post some of the tryhard posts in this and other threads -- post our finest moments (of course post the KT peace-be-upon-her incident, but also the mentioned Ficciones shitsmearing).

Of course I'd never do this.

>>9081977
Yeah I reached, but she definetely sounds like her

>>9076470
>That book selection
>That accent
>That THICC qt-ness

...Marry me pls

>>9079662
Draw shitty animations that use like 5 total frames and change every 2 minutes. Then just slap up a picture of the book, and a picture of the author once per video, and you are golden.

Reminder that here is the Bookchemist once again has been published in two small publishers short story collections.
I think he also wrote a short fiction peice for an online magazine or something.

Whatever happened with her? Did she resurface on Youtube again or is she still sticking to her tumblr?

>>9074356
Fugg I talk like that too.

And I'm sure you aren't sheltered, right? You fought against the cartels in a gritty streetfight right?

>>9085945
>You fought against the cartels in a gritty streetfight right?
yes

>>9073048
I would make her my waifu. She looks bland enough to consider me as an option yet openminded enough to redpill and tenderly love.

Stopped watching there. She's cute and all, but full of hot air. Maybe in a few years she'll grow out of those shit opinions.

>>9073900
>>9080534

The read is good if the writer and editor are good. Social status does not affect the quality of writing.

>>9086829
What, you don't read books written exclusively by former child soldiers living in poverty in refugee camps?

You problematic cishet heteropatriarchal racist.

>>9073268
we'd like it. /lit/ is not particularly closed to new things, it's just that circlejerks a lot the old and affirmed ones. If one of these catastrophes turns out to be good, we'll call it good.

Bump for Claire!

Sorry bro...but claire, well, let's just say she isn't prime waifu material...unless of course you're into that sort of thing, you know...
