/lit/ - Literature

Fixed.

I'd say a good way to thank him would be buying a book for another anon. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, no?

He's doing it; let's spread the love and get as many good books out to anons as we can.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes In My Ass.

GLORIOUS.

I actually re read the entire series a couple weeks ago, excluding alternamorphs.

Very quick reads, a hour per book. Very engaging, until around book 35, then some ghost writers get in the way, but she picks it up again towards the end and the series finishes on an awesome note.

I recommend it heartily. It's not bad writing by any stretch. Obviously simplistic, since it's a kid series.

Just skip the ones that were prepared by others and you should be good to go.

All the time, though it's not described in any explicit detail. Expect to hear a lot of fussing over men, clothes, and sex.

As a body swap fetishist, I found it an interesting read, but certainly anywhere the quality I usually expect from Heinlein.

To Have and Have Not.

R.I.P Harry Morgan. You were a great man. :(

The Subtle Knife did, particularly when Hester and her human (I forget his name now...it was so long ago) made a last stand against, I think, 30 of the magisterium's minions.

His last words were something along the line of "we're a-saving Lyra, Hester." I fucking cried so hard.

I wrote notes on about half of this book. I NEVER write notes, but I ended up writing responses to his verses. It's so hard not to when he writes of everything and somehow manages to include *you*.

This poetry, more than any other poetry I've read, drew me in and made me feel part of it. It's the poetry that got me interested in poetry.

I'd say /lit/'s main strength is good book recommendations.

Anytime I see someone come here to discuss a book, it, 99% of the time, ends in 10-20 posts or with a plethora of sages with some variation of the comment, "Do your own homework."

However, just asking the other night for poetry in the same vein as Walt Whitman garnered me a very good list of poets I'm highly enjoying. Same on the novel front (I *love* ASOIAF)

This was amazing. I've it saved to my favorites on Youtube now.

Thanks to everyone who's contribut(ed/ing). I will check this thread again in the morning.

Damn I love /lit/.

Bumping before I go to bed. I'll check this thread in the morning.

Thank you to everyone who has or will contribute.

I've read some of his novels before when I was a kid. Even then, I didn't enjoy them much. However, thank you for the recommendation.

Terribly insecure, but such is part of the human condition. It comforts me greatly to know I am not the only human being who feels such.

Will you contribute?

Hey /lit/. I know this is a rather niche request, but I am wondering if there were any good books related to the subject line, particularly with body swaps, mind control, and possession. My aim behind this is to explore my fetishes and try to understand the whole of human sexuality on a deeper level.

I've read Robert Heinlein's "I Will Fear No Evil", but it frankly didn't capture my fancy. I was also recommended Stephanie Meyer's "The Host", but I hesitate to read that since I did not enjoy Twilight.

Please, no Gravity's Rainbow or 120 Days of Sodom; I have read those already. My thanks in advance.

Writing all of these down. Thanks!

I was directed to Emerson and William Cullen Bryant as well by a friend, but I don't trust his taste in books ever since he recommended the Elminster series to me. Would these two also apply?

I will never knock it again. I apologize profusely for knocking it in the past. I just read Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, and wow. Could anyone recommend good poetry in the same vein? My thanks in advance.

Oscar Wilde is already queen of /lit/.

Grabbed my attention right off the bat. I'd read more of this book in a heartbeat, and I've never read King in my life. Your sweeping generalization is invalid.

In before I have no taste, because that's exactly what people are going to say; I don't care.

It looks like she has a penis.

>>759703

No, this version was pretty amazing. It had Robin fucking Williams

>>754931

Dude, I read it. It's amazing. It's sad to see some random jackass lambast it.

I guess pic related for the haters.

You say so much and so little.
