Is posting as fake Sunhawk still a thing, or has /lit/ got bored of it?

>>4434998
no, I don't use conditioner,

>>4434981
of course

Why do you guys have such an issue with Sunhawk?

>>4355212

Fictional biopic. The richest man in the world, and the 70 years of his life that led to the present (which is the framing device).

Over 3 years, this board has become so pathetic. A fair percentage of posters used to response to almost all threads with 'Kill yourself', and refused to engage in almost ANY book related conversation, now it's the majority of posters. Not good.

Why? Because I like good lit, instead of pleb or commonly read lit?

You haven't even heard of the book, nor the author. Sad.

>getting /lit/ to read The Birthday Party, by Panoz Karnesiz
>getting this board to read a great book
>this board liking brilliant prose and a great style of unfolding a story
>making this board like subtle and interesting magical realism

I've recommended this book on many occasions, and nobody will read it. Damn. Why don't you want to read a great book?

>>4346545
Your commitment is... impressive. I'd generally agree, actually. Potentially there are official secrets, identities of agents etc that I think shouldn't be released, but then you're right that that probably wouldn't be coming in book form anyway.

>>4346525
For the sake of argument, what about 'How and why you should murder anon and everyone he knows: a reference guide complete with addresses, daily routines, and optimal murderin' opportunities'.

>>4346506
Heh, author infighting is so much fun. There was a post earlier about Hemmingway beating up Wallace Stevens. Really, though, I'd have to keep Conrad, Eliot, Hemmmingway, and Stevens. They're all excellent.

>>4346482
I'm not actually Sunhawk, just someone using the old trip. But I like you too.

I did look at a bit of Sodom and... yeah, I can't really defend it. I wouldn't ban it, but it did make me go full why.gif

>>4346381
Assuming you want dramatic politicking and plotting...

Shakespeare's histories (although they're plays, obviously, so you should really watch them).
Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall (only two books so far, but they're looooong).
I, Claudius (only two books though, and not so long).
Romance of the Three Kingdoms if you're hardcore.

>>4346463
>I'd expect those people

>>4346376
Hemmmingway said that? Intredasting. I'd say he's a great writer, but he does exemplify a certain complex 19th century style of writing that I could see some people getting aggravated by (I'd expected those people's tastes to be strongly influenced by Hemmmmingway's writing, ironically).

>>4346370
I think it's a mix of some people genuinely not getting it, some people playing along with OP's 'joke', and /pol/ spotting a golden opportunity to complain about how leftists are the real fascists.

>committing suicide when you have NINE consoles
Doubtful. There's always going to be a console you haven't played in ages, and it'd be a dahm shame to kill yourself in those circumstances. But what do I know? I'm a fundamentally pretty happy human being.

>>4346296
Ohhhhh, you guys think I'm -that- Sunhawk don't you? Sorry, I was just playing with being butterfly earlier and then put the leaked Sunhawk trip on for a while.

Oh well, it's interesting being a notorious and hated bisexual NEET with nine consoles.

>>4346257
>Why should you keep on living?
Because life's pretty cool and certainly better than the alternative. Plus, y'know, people would be upset if I went and offed myself.

>>4346202
Why would I kill myself?

>>4346145
Why is anyone in this thread assuming OP is being serious? Or are you all just responding ironically to OP's ironic post?

>tfw Poe's law bites you in the ass

All you people saying something suitably /lit/erary, did you never read any big long fantasy/sci-fi series when you were a kid? I'm pretty surprised that nobody has said J.K. Rowling, for example.

>>4346053
/sci/ might be better. They might mock it and make you all sad, though. But I'm just guessing here.

>>4345872
I strongly suspect it's actually Terry Pratchett. I can't remember how much Asimov I've read, though, must be a reasonable amount.

>>4345888
This image legitimately made me guffaw. I can barely even process it... it seems to be making a million jokes at once.
