Haruki murakami is a guilty pleasure.

Hey, /lit/, does anyone know if/where I can find some of Tycho Brahe's written works online?

I do it whenever I feel like. That's it. Typically, if I NEED to write, getting drunk or high first is a big help. I don't know if others have noted such a thing, but I seem to write better under the influence, and when going into a depressive phase (I'm schizoaffective, which means schizophrenic and bipolar at the same bleeding time). Maybe kinda like Randall Munroe's "Ballmer Peak."

Calling "Driving a nail into your thigh to cure your cold" stupid is like calling "Taking an influenza vaccine to immunize yourself to the flu" or "Taking vitamin C to prevent scurvy" or "Staying hydrated and sleeping so you don't die" stupid, too, amirite?

It mostly just reminded me that Pratchett has Alzheimers and his literature now sucks. So it saddens me.

Of course. I have always assumed this is the case, myself.

Also, freaking the fuck out over something that is not even incorrect is pretty funny. But sage this shit.

Marry Doyle, fuck Joyce, kill Poe. Not that I dislike Poe. But he'd be happier that way, no?

Your psychoses intrigue me. And I added you to StumbleUpon, like it or not.

Gaiman wrote something nearly identical to that.

Hm. My sources turned up Gamaliel, but that could be wrong. The book (and Order in general) is typically evasive on the Qlippoth, which is why Crowley formed Thelema to function with the darker side of Qaballa and thaumaturgy.

So I had to work it out for myself by the numerological attribution, and got Gamaliel, the perverse or Obscene Ones, and the opposite of Iesod, the Moon and purity and deception.

Good luck summoning yo daemoniac forces.

;:| Qlippoth, eh? GD much?

Mother Russia makes it a flawless victory.

I write 10000 words on an average day lol. :3 I can write 25000 with espresso. It takes half as long to edit out the kinks. So I could easily meet those requirements in an average week.

Espresso + polyphasic sleeping = week seems like two years and encompasses four years' work. Triple that if you add crack into the mix. I know from experience.

Cut and paste all porn on a flash drive and lock it in a safe, as motivation.

Also, don't write like shit. Actually, on second thought, if publishability is the only stipulation, write UTTER SHITE. Think Twilight. It may cause you to vomit. Just stay with it, and be a literary whore. It's profitable.

Lastly, how I would go about this is spending the first four days fapping and eating cake, and tell everyone I'm coming up with a plot, freak out on the fifth day but take some sleeping pills and chill the fuck out, play video games and read on the sixth day, then write 240 pages on the last day. And likely get it published.

I am a fan. Haven't read his most recent book. Disowned everything post-Fifth Elephant. After that the Alzheimers got 'im.

Jeeves, bring me my gun.

It was worth a try, I guess.

Right now? Shamefacedly, Lolita for the first time. Don't know why I didn't read this earlier.

I'm a tripfag because I'm usually on /s/ and forgot to take them off.

Your opinion = Chicken shit
My opinion = HOLY FUCKING GOSPEL

Your maths also need work.

Male Mary-Sue.

Entire thing sucked; Normally I don't mind slow-paced books, but it was slow-paced, AND nothing happened AND the writing was shit. In the movie, the acting was shit. C. Paolini is shit. His book is bad, and he should FEEL bad. And so should you, for toting this Twilight-esque dragon-phant'sy monstrosity of assbaby delight.

On the contrary, Anathem is one of my favourite books. Pretty cool guy, knows about quantum mechanics and doesn't afraid of anything. And a thousand pages means I can read it for a whole day.

Mine was "niggers seagoing." Ironic, eh?
