/lit/ - Literature

In the actual meaning of the word patrician, can't something like that only be inherited by high birth?

I read for myself and not for other people.

I don't talk to other people about literature, but I spend my free time reading it.

Is it Cro-lee or Krau-lee?

Over a lifetime, the twenty something develops a pile of books. At some point, one of these puts all the others in to perspective and one is left with the feeling that they have learned nothing over the years, aside from any wisdom that may have been imparted by the most recent.

At this moment in time the twenty something feels not unlike a vagrant that wanders streets and alleys- that the only difference is that the former showers regularly. Indeed, the twenty something finds himself wandering the streets of Schwarzwasser himself, eagerly awaiting some sign- some building or pathway that will finally lift him from the second realm in to the third.

The only answer then is posterity- to have a child and set him on the right path.

What was Celine wrong about, though?

Is liberal democracy really so preferable to fascism or national socialism?

What is the literary equivalent of Eiffel 65?

No.
I used to correspond with Kevin through email and I am fond of him, though.

Recently he stopped replying to my emails, even though we had been contacting each other for 2 years.

Marcus Aurelius isn't particularly "difficult" or pretentious.

Also, Edgar Allen Poe is one of my favourite authors. How is he trash? This is honestly new to me.

Short Fiction.

I would prefer if someone would provide sincere criticism of at least one section.

I am not even particularly fond of FW,
more Ulysses and PotA, which is probably what provided me with the afflatus to write what I did.

Ezra Pound was not particularly fond of FW either, if I remember correctly, which lead to him and the Jay falling out.

I wasn't simply trying to re-write FW through short fiction. Until you get your head around that, don't comment upon the text.

Finnegan's wake is incoherent without secondary literature or a professor's brain. There is a perfectly coherent narrative in each piece of short fiction on my blog.

I personally follow the philosophy of "havin' a laugh".

No, I don't need to consume literature to live.

The problem does lie with literature, in my humble opinion.

The only other anxiety that comes to mind is the anxiety that I didn't do enough to have an aryan cutie not break my heart, which I suppose is connected to the acquisition of knowledge, if I had just known something else, I could have used the knowledge to make sure it didn't occur.

I am not concerned with it.
I am concerned that other people are concerned with it and that they do not seem to like the idea of someone having a semi-casual occupation with literature.
