/lit/ - Literature

Oh you Stagolee, you. Never change.

I once had to make an essay about Saint Albert the great. I read some of his alchemy books. That shit was crazy.

I use my school´s library when I need the books to work on essays or do research. If I actually want the book and I have the money, I buy it.

>teenager trying too hard to be deep

I always thought hipsters were teenagers trying too hard to be deep.

Marx and Nietzche. You don´t have to understand them, just quote them.

I liked it. Kinda cliché, but it´s nice.

If it´s true and not a hoax, I´d be delighted to read it. I love "found literature", the stuff where people writes as if they´re the only ones who were supposed to read it, I feel nice reading that.

Read some Vonnegut. Great narration and dialogues, he doesn´t spend much time describing stuff.

I do the same thing, and I don´t think that´s a problem. If that´s your style, you need to keep up what you´re good at. There are writers who are fantastic at dialogues and that´s what they use. You´re not good at descriptions of scenery, maybe you excel at something else.

Ora, no se me indignen tan rapido. Nomas andaba hablando coloquialmente. Aila siendo "Ahi nos vemos" que viene a ser un "Nos vemos pronto".

No quiero, esa bien mierda ahorita, como casi siempre.

Que pedo les gorgorea, /lit/. Nomas vi que andaban hablando en español y tenia que postear algo.

Bueno, aila.

My favorite Vonnegut book is Mother Night. Dunno if that helps you at all, since it´s only my opinion, but I wanted to say it.

So, /lit/ gives free shit to people? I need to visit more.

Maybe I will. Maybe not. Do it and see what happens. Just, don´t get your hopes high.

I did.

Didn´t think it was a gem, though,.

If you can, get your hands on Frederick Copleston´s "A History of Philosophy" series, and read whatever chapters or volumes interest you.

Was I trolling?

Anyways, thank you guys. Already bookmarked those.

Second and last bump. Any help at all, greatly appreciated.

One bump. I'll stick to just two bumps, then let it die.

Well, those are welcome also. My Lit teacher permits songs, movies, and comics as bibliography, although you have to triple them to count as one book. So, if he put a minimum of 5 books, I could instead, use 10 songs and 5 movies.

Curious thing is, I already did it kinda that way. I procrastinated until two hours before the class, and rushed it. My essay was half on topic, half "OH MY GOD IT'S SO FUCKING LATE WHY DIDN'T I SLEEP".

They gave me a second chance.

So, I need your help, /lit/. No, I won't ask you to make my work for me. What I need is, I've got to do an essay about procrastination, and I need books that touch the topic. It can also be novels in which procrastination plays an important part on the plot, or even other essays.

Thanks, even if you don't help.

TL;DR: I need a bibliography about procrastination.

Also, if you want, you can talk about procrastination in general. For next week, I have to read "The name of the Rose" by Umberto Eco, and I haven't started it.

Copypasting favorite part:

‘O see not ye yon narrow road,
So thick beset wi thorns and briers?
That is the path of righteousness,
Tho after it but few enquires.
37A.13 ‘And see not ye that braid braid road,
That lies across yon lillie leven?
That is the path of wickedness,
Tho some call it the road to heaven.
37A.14 ‘And see not ye that bonny road,
Which winds about the fernie brae?
That is the road to fair Elfland,
Whe[re] you and I this night maun gae.
37A.15 ‘But Thomas, ye maun hold your tongue,
Whatever you may hear or see,
For gin ae word you should chance to speak,
You will neer get back to your ain countrie.’
37A.16 He has gotten a coat of the even cloth,
And a pair of shoes of velvet green,
And till seven years were past and gone
True Thomas on earth was never seen.
