Anyone read this yet?

What does /lit/ thing of the poem I wrote when I was 11?

Post your childhood poems/stories.

The Power of Stoicism

By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.

Underrated post

I think capitalism has been slowly different forms of cultural virtues for a long time. Now most kids movies/blockbusters/chain restaurants have postmodern self-aware ironic twists and you can't buy your large mocha latte without buying a pair of shoes for some starving child in the third world.

Wanna fuck anyway?

Sometimes i look at the title of a book/cover of a book and try to guess if if was written by a man or a woman.

I have never been wrong.

I think Wallace's normality fluctuated a lot with the severity and treatment of his illness, based on what Franzen said if the interview was conducted closer to his death it definitely would've been different.

But, in a way, I'm glad they didn't. Instead they showed him in a relatively happier time of his life, after the publication of Infinite Jest, when his yearning innocence to keep trying still had the upperhand. That aspect of his personality is what made his books interesting to me.

Theatres are mostly empty, the few people who care enough to go see it are probably way into supporting the arts and shit.

Albert Camus was not existentialist

What if there was a way to kill yourself without adding to the absurdity of the universe?

What if there was a fire which would not only obliterate a physical body, but retroactively remove every trace of its existence from history, creating a world as it would have been had it never been created? Would it not only be right to throw yourself in?

How much blind arrogance does it take to be glad of your own birth?

delete this thread and kill yourself

god it's so true.

Race, like so much biological nomenclature, is difficult to define.

That doesn't mean it does not exist.

i have grown sick of the jokes 'intellectuals' tell each other, which almost entirely consist of esoteric confusion or rationalising the obscene.

see kimkierkegaardashian etc.

many great writers have done the same, you're in good company (minus the 4chan part)
