>>23350583I must reject your interjection,Which is most likely just projection;A lofty product of your sick perception.The only one's who've received my injection, Are of the variety female.And though at times I may become lonely,My back door will remain an exit only.To have sex, you might have to turn trans,But one's like me will forever be man.

Are there any cultural history books that intertwine music, architecture, painting, literature, sculpture, and the lives of people in the era?
>>23349662I wasn't expecting pictures my man. Just words
The Story of Civilization books by Will and Ariel Durant do a good job of this
Henry Thomas Buckle
Egon Friedell's Cultural History of the modern age has profiles of important men and tried to capture Essence of each era.But If you already know anything more about a particular topic, IT will appear Like this >>23349662He tried hard to write brilliant Aphorismus, and often IT seems more sought than found. ITS a Mix of ideas and styles taken from Spengler, Burckhardt and Carlyle and some lesser known cultural hiatorians from 19th century. IT lead to suspicion that Carlyle was Just a bandwaggoner WHO tried to exploit spenglers success. Overall good for beginners and the footnotes/bibliography are nice rabbitholes in themselves. Posting from Phone, sorry for Automatic caps.
>>23349656Well >>23351329 mentioned Burckhardt and Spengler which are the only ones I'm really aware of but I'm sure there are plenty of books like this about any important cultural period. I'll keep watching the thread for recs though, or I'll let you know if I remember anything.
For studying literature? Between Harold’s Bloom’s critique and the woke wildfire, I’m beginning to think of just leaving it. My gf really wants me to go because she is planning to major in literature and wants to do it with me but I am now worrying they will brainwash her
>>23351209Why study literature in college when you could take writing or specific classes whilst studying engineering to fund your hobby/future writing career? Academia is full of nuts and people who hate art on principle. There’s reason the only good writing academics you can name are John Williams and Harold Bloom.
The woke wildfire is overstated. You can be against it and state your opinion just fine so long as you aren't a sperg. t. humanities student
What happened to that Peircefag’s substack article? Deleted already? =( I was 2/3rds in…https://sorceroussuppositions.substack.com/p/unlocking-meta-reality-the-subject
>>23350711bump, but also wondering how to into pierce?
>>23350839You can begin by spelling and pronouncing his name correctly (Peirce, “purse”)
>>23351026nevermind then
>>23351055that’s okay, you can’t mess with Peirce if you have a clumsy intellect anyway
Why aren't books made of high quality materials anymore?

Columbus, Ohio /lit/izens, why did none of you warn me that The Book Loft is a rip-off? It's all fucking new books with 5% discounts on the publisher list-price. Wow, so instead of paying $25 I pay $23.75! I was extremely disappointed by their "Foreign Language" section. It was one measly shelf and all the books were Spanish! Hardly any French books. The only one worth grabbing I found was a Proust short story collection. Their online catalog made it seem like they had a bunch of French langauge titles in store, but I now realize they just order that shit off Amazon and then resell it to you. Oh well...I did find some English language books I wanted, but I couldn't buy what I really wanted because every fucking book was $20. I miss McKay's Used Bookstore. Ohio fucking sucks.People should use this thread as an opportunity to let anons know about the best bookstore in their city. That way people can avoid the mistake I made today by going to The Book Loft.
>>23346302You had the chance to buy cheapies at the reopening sale of the UA Half Price Books last month. I spent $300
Myopic Books in Chicago was good last time I was there. Though the best haul I think I ever found was in some used bookstore in a converted second story apartment in Camden, Maine. Might have been just lucky that day but I walked out of there with a fucking haul. Also found a few at a great garage sale once that still makes me smile.
>>23346302Always glad to see some Columbus-anons, living away from town for about a year now (moving back in a week) has made me realize how shit bookstores that only sell new books are and how much I miss Half Priced Books. Columbus has a couple of them and they're both great. I managed to find Maldoror there and it became my favorite book, a Greek New Testament for $10 and even an English translation of Xenophon's Education of Cyrus for $7 back in the day, also they have a great DVD selection too.>>23346385Karen Wickliff's is great too, but being cash only and their hours are kinda shit. The selection is to die for though.
>>23347493Try Hoffman Books at 4167 North High Street. I've never been there, but it looks interesting. There's Karen Wickliff-Books at 3527 N High St. Call first. There's a Half Price Bookstore at 2662 Bethel Road (northwest side of Columbus), but I have no idea what they sell. Gramercy Books in Bexley I do not recommend; same books sold by BAM and B&N. Prologue Bookshop recently opened at 841 N. High St (the short north), but it looks sketchy. Good luck, anon.
>>23348624Unless the book is overrun and sold to a store in bulk you're going to end up paying like $20 for a paperback. If a book isn't that popular it can take years before you find it in a used bookstore.
Post your novel idea. It's not like their going anywhere.
>>23351199nice try, fucker.
>>23351188that thread isn't legit, wrong animal in the OP pic

>>23351082haha
>>23351251Thanks. I call it The Revelation of Hell through the Shitting Man and the Faggot in Disguise.
>invested in a book>theres a play in itwhat is wrong with me? why is it when there is a play or show in a novel my immersion is broken and it becomes such a slog to read?CoL49 especially
>invested in a play>theres a play in itwhat is wrong with me? why is it when there is a play or show in a play my immersion is broken and it becomes such a slog to read?A misummer night's dream especially
>>23351147Nah it makes sense. You're used to the book's prose and format, the play is a different format.
>>23351147Man I really wished The Couriers Tragedy would have been the main story in which maybe the rest of CoL49 was a play. It was soooo kino
Post chud quotes from chud authors.

>>23351190What does chud mean? Is that like the new word for far right or racist?
>>23351256It was why Gore lost the election to Bush. If thats still echoing imagine how long TDS is going to last.

how do you even refute this?
By participating in society and realizing you have to pay your taxes.
>>23351236You just shrug
>>23351236By laughing at people who take it too seriously while admitting Rand was an interesting figure whose books are moderately fun. You know she's basically a politicized version of L. Ron Hubbard if his cult had failed, right?
>>23351236>3 threads already for this kikess Rothshild cocksucking whore who hated her parents and any ancestral bloodlineSaged.
Various /lit/ publications have come and gone: The Lit Quarterly, Pinecone, The April Reader, and Ideology, to name a few. There have been collaborative works, like Coronameron, The /lit/ Annotated Moby Dick, Legacy of Totalitarianism in a Tundra, and The Complete Works of God II. Some of these projects were one-offs, some were serialized. Some /lit/ projects, like Unreal Press, are still hanging on but are plagued by drama, and some, like &, seem to be rapidly in decline.Also related are the solo writers of /lit/, composed of various namefags and shills who frequent the board: MNM-DR, John David Card, Zulu Alitspa, Frater Asemlen, Horia Belcea, Ogden Nesmer, Lewis Woolston. There are also those who did not come from /lit/ but are /lit/-adjacent simply because they are discussed here so frequently: Mike Ma, R. C. Waldun, Bronze Age Pervert.This thread is for the discussion of the history of /lit/ writing and the future of /lit/. Why have so many /lit/ projects failed and fallen apart, and what do you think is next for the scene? Does anonymity vs pseudonymity vs. the use of real names make a difference in the success or failure of these projects, and the way in which these projects are perceived? Of the works that /lit/ has produced, are there common characteristics and themes shared between them? Is there a definitively /lit/ style of writing? Has /lit/ produced anything truly great, and if not, do you believe that it will in the future?
>>23347836/lit/ has zero interesting threads and no authors even hang out here anymore

Story of the eye is the most perverted thing I've read
>>23351171You don't get it, it was subverting perverseness
>>23347119Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Gross book written by a slavering, uncontrolled lust-slave about someone with similar perversions. I'm not a Christian, but this was one of the most powerful arguments in favour of Christian sexual ethics I have ever read. Other than its story line, I quite liked the prose and the Venus theme, although a million descriptions of fur do get a bit old.Other than that, anything by the Marquis de Sade, the quintessential pervert author, although so far I've only read some of Justine, so I don't really know what of his to recommend. You might also get a kick out of Ovid's Erotic Poems, the Ars Amatoria is essentially a classical version of the pickup artists manual.
Give me some books with Godly chaste romances
>>23346257Women hate hate hate being with a man shorter than themselves. Usually when I see a very tall woman and her boyfriend/husband out in public, the guy is even taller still. The woman makes it a major life priority to find a taller man, and the taller man isn't intimidated by her.
>>23350326Sorry, no, it's exactly the other way around. Women's innate disgust at the idea of being with a shorter man is far stronger than any intimidation/nervousness that a man feels with a taller woman. These kinds of threads, which happen regularly on 4chan, are evidence in favor of my claim. Lots of (shorter) guys welcome the idea of some anime-tier amazon gf, but reality doesn't work that way. Why do you think Attack of the 50 Foot Woman was made? Why do guys have giantess fetishes?
>>23350773>>23350776>t. womenWhat causes this delusion?
>>23350776>Why do you think Attack of the 50 Foot Woman was made? Why do guys have giantess fetishes?Because mommy didn't love them enough.You know it's true.
>>23348838>"groom" is an ambiguous-looking anime face with a "punk rock lesbian" haircut>"bride" is tall and has a flat chestThe shoulders do indicate that it is not some sort of gender-reversed couple but I can definitely see how it came across that way
