/lit/ - Literature

Wrote some shit poem I made in highschool.
Got James Joyce

Death to the Videodrome, Long Live the New Flesh
noone gets the joke

I'm sick and tired of having all my book reading peers reading fucking Fantasy YA. Seriously, shit's like a teenage soap-opera with magic. It's terrible.

Fantasy YA is always shit.

I know some kid who browses /b/. Close enough?

Nice to know someone can agree with me.

America is going to be a land of Fantasy YA, forever.

You might as well read some brat's blog. At least new shit happens on the latter.

NEVER ENDING THREAD
AWWWWWWWWW SHIT

Basically this is what you should try to find.
But if you try to read it at face value, it's less entertaining than reading some kid's blog. Until shit gets real and he gets beat up by a pimp.

Alright, this might seem a bit stupid, but I think this might be something worthwhile.

A 17 year old is walking down a city street, and then is randomly beaten unconscious by a gang. The next thing he wakes up to is he's in a mercenary hideout, and that he has to do work for them for the courtesy this "gang" has given them. After he does some work, he is offered to either leave or stay however two things happen: The leader is assassinated, and an xboxhueg terrorist attack hits Washington D.C., The entire Northeast section of America, and the entire area 10 miles around all of the missile sites (mostly Northwest mid-west). The gang is split between choosing this kid as a leader (he does a lot of impressive shit when he had to pay back the courtesy, impressive enough to put people in awe, including the leader) and an older guy who was destined leader but has been known for corruption. The group that has the young kid decides to leave, because they think it's better to find a way out (this is in an alternate history where when airlines started to get bad rap from 9/11, many switched to trains unless they had to go over sea or something and during the attack most of the forms of transportation were used to escape the country immediately after the attacks) and wander to find supplies. Basically it's them wandering, going through mercenaries (including the rival group), and whatnot until they find out that there is a cruiser in New York (however, there are wild rumors that New York is radiated, or full of zombies, or what not and many are weary of what actually happened), in which they escape to Europe. Book One. I might make a sequel, but I don't know if even this'll be good.

I was reading in a sort of abandoned (more like some nearby bank decided to buy it and do nothing with it and gated it up half-assed) park in my neighborhood, reading Dune. Some girl noticed me reading a book and a cheap acoustic next to me (I brought it around during school and played a couple of songs). She knew me from hearing a song at school and decided to hang out with me, whilist she read a book someone lended her. After several minutes, I decide to read a little of her book. Didn't really notice anything about it because I wanted to kiss her. As I got closer, she noticed what I was doing and returned the favor. We basically dropped our books and held each other in our arms, lips locked and tounges waltzing with one another.
>mfw that was her last day at that school and the book she was reading was Artemis Fowl

I fairly enjoyed the book.
It showed a sort of unapologetic view of what Jazz Age big shots were. It was no bullshit, if you will. I can't really say that I obsess over it because I can get over it's charm quick, but it's far from terrible.

But I get a complement on nearly every single one of my t-shirts that have any sort of print on it.

Well, I'm talking the genre itself. I surely know that's true in music, but not neccessarily film or TV (unless you get specific).

>>1189276
I found the movie and SG-1 to have sub-par acting, but then Star Wars past the trilogy sucked donkey boner.

>>1189265
Oh. Well, I guess I have to sieve through a LOT of shit to find something good, don't I?

>>1189243
Anyone?

>implying that there will ever be a relatable, reasonable, or even DECENT book within the Fantasy YA genre

At least we can agree that Star Wars at it's finest is better than Star Trek at it's finest? I could also say Stargate, but that might be too arguable

>1. “Mein Kampf,” by Adolf Hitler.
Yes I know he is the kind of person that /new/ faps over, but goddamn it it still gives a perspective on what we fought against. Historical value, motherfucker.
>2."Messages to the World," by Osama bin Laden.
Same case as last, but in more recent times.
>3.“The Global Bell Curve,” by Richard Lynn. Alright, I agree with this one.
>4.“Did Six Million Really Die?” by Richard E. Harwood.
Oh god I lol'd when I saw this. I however agree.
>5.“The 120 Days of Sodom,” by Marquis de Sade.
OH NOEZ IT HAZ NAUGHTY THINGS. Shit, I can't wait to see when these motherfuckers see this place. It's quite riveting in it's absoltue vulgarity.
TL;DR Christians are why we can't have nice things.
