Super. Thank you anon.

>>1798647

Oh gosh that would be super. Make a blogger account or something and I would visit regularly if you post some interesting Romanian stories.

I am in no danger of someone impersonating me. Why should someone be so foolish?

Bravo

I enjoy your voice thus far

Oh bother. The worthy aspect of reading is the excitement that dwells in the heart of the imaginative. You read to learn and you read to be entertained.

While technologies have been a passing fads in generations, literary pursuits have remains everlasting.

>>1798618

Anytime. The new /lit/ is here for you.

>>1798611

This is the accepted understanding of the rule. You are in good hands.

Read "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" by TE Lawrence. It is, in a different way, very applicable to your interests.

And enjoy it. It is super

Absolutely. It is a fantastic journey. The prose is well balanced and the journey is remarkable. I cant give away too much without ruining your experience. That "fact" has little to do with your enjoyment, trust me.

I feel that postmodernism is a plague that has come over literature and art. Maybe a parasite actually.

We think too much in the abstract and this might be caused be a tyranny of free will. Whatever the case may be it is a way of understanding out current predicament as writers and as readers.

I shall believe this until a better argument is presented.

But I think that is indicative of a lot of French literature. (The fact that it conveys a more contemporary perspective than other literature at the time.)

This is definitely the place for writing critique.

It is intriguing and i hope you post more of it when you are ready.

I read it a year ago but I was impressed with its ability to convey in a "contemporary way" for a novel apparently written in 1856.

I speak highly of this book. Even though it makes me a massive homosexual apparently.

Oh you! TLDRing on /lit/

So edgy

Marcus Rediker is like the coolest historian on the block. Seriously, I want to be a Marcus Rediker groupie.

Harold Innis is also super neat.

Actually this is a much better argument than my own.

It would seem that people have smaller attention spans and need to be spoon fed their information.

>>1796852

I simply read every single text on the subject I could find. Then I display my knowledge of it in light and flowery language. Nobody ever questions me.

>>1796810


Wait, do people really block trip coders? That makes me sad.

I think poetic verse has fallen out of style because of the increased accessibility people have to novels, short stories and alike.

I feel poetry was a medium that was used to capture a sentiment and make it accessible to a wider audience but now we can do it easier through a short story or a song.

Sure, but if what I have to say sounds pretty then neither party minds very much do they? And as a last resort I can look very pretty speaking it.

>>1796826

Oh splendid. But we are both on the same team.

>>1796812

Why not? People like me tend to get along just fine in the real world. I can walk outside right now and strike up a conversation with a random old woman at the bus stop. I think it is charming to be non-linear and random occasionally.

>>1796791

You forgot about me.

Also I think Rosemary, like most of the characters, suffer from an inflated sense of sexuality. I felt this evident given Fitzgerald's subject matter and the themes discussed. It is erroneous whether or not she is but it is worth mentioning that the theme of sexuality in this novel is of tertiary importance to the overall message.

Hardcovers make me hard.

I should not have to be held accountable for my reading comprehension on the internet. That is just silly. I am certainly not perfect. I do however read books and enjoy discussing them.

And if you like visual media, you should play LA Noire. I hear from /v/ that it is very good.
