Name one that's better. Come on, I dare you.

This goes for everyone.

>>1638954
And what work do you believe to deserve that title?

Gravity's Rainbow need not apply.

>>1638934
Excellent! Be sure to read some Homer and early Joyce first. Then it shouldn't be too much of a struggle.

>>1638920
Are you Tybrax?

>>1638910
>>1638912
Well what did you screwballs think of it? Would you say it's better than Moby-dick?

>>1638906
Except Twilight isn't acclaimed as the best novel of the 20th century.

I bet you like DFW; and that's giving you the benefit of the doubt.

We can talk about Wilde and other pseudo-intellectuals if you'd like.

>Judging a book you haven't read.

Why am I not surprised?

So /lit/, why haven't you read this?

I used to steal books in my late teens.

Yeah that pisses me off.

Yes.

Oh my God, yes.

The first line of every book you read.

Yeah Mnemonics is one of the tools talked about. Another thing that helped is just going over in my head what has happened in a book, right after I read it. It's real tempting after a few hours of reading just to space out but I think it's better to to recall what you've read.

It doesn't sound like much but it's magic. Just checking yourself constantly. Making connections to things you've already memorized. Then what you're working on becomes a solid, thus more tools for building.... into infinity.

Those are just the real basic (but most helpful in my experience ((even thought they don't sound like much)) aspects of the book.

I mean, these guys were just normal people.

Ok, I lied. This is the real reason.

>>1602997
Hey man, you ever get that job you wanted?

>>1602986
I don't do drugs and I brush my teeth.

No, I remember what authors say about other authors.

That was Henry Miller in Tropic of Cancer.

Get that disgusting slut of /lit/

NO BECAUSE THEY ALL MISINTERPRET IT NO ONE KNOWS WHAT HE MEANS

Too bad he's complete shit

They'd have something if they weren't religious up the kazoo.

It's just as shallow as existentialism yet everyone seems to just adore that.

I wonder if that's the humor the author was expressing.
