Always welcome. Outside of a few drive by zingers and a quixotic word filter we don't have much in the way of 8chan specific stuff to highlight. Guess we have to make do with material from the greater /lit/scape.

However …

>Don't be a pleb.

A lame parody of halfchan, at best. In this they are their own best self parody. Leave this shit back there.

>This board has some painful instances of reddit-tier taste so far.

8chan has a general bias against reddit, no surprise, but this is more of the same halfchan straitjacketing bullshit rehashed.

We don't need to be better, just different.

that's bullshit though.

not about comparing ASOIAF to better works. but literature professors and critics are to a good degree full of shit.

you just need to see the long list of now respected classics that was panned or ignored by the critic or the even greater amount of banal, flavour of the week bullshit that is absolutely adored by critics, sometimes with almost embarassing comparisons, that had long been forgotten.

Some times I sit around campus holding a Pynchon novel, and wait for somebody to acknowledge my taste and coolness. It hasn't worked yet, but I try every other day for a few hours before my next class.

Maybe I should try Palahniuk. He's all the rage with my fellow students right?

I would rather be together with an actual hardline facist than a girl that enjoyed Mein Kampf.

That book was just awful in all regards, the man needed an editor or better yet should have stuck to painting.

>neo-Malthusian ethical eugenics

jayzus christ nigger, why not just use a /pol trip

I like the nyuk, he an ok writer in my book, albeit a degenerate. makes books are good for adhds like me, they read fast. inb4 reeedit

Maybe she's using Mein Kampf to scare normies away, but she knows that that won't be enough for anon. That's like half of why I read obscure books; no one tries to talk to me about them.

>>7360

Best solution is probably being a hot dude reading Harry Potter. For some reason about 1/3 of the female English majors at my school say Harry Potter is their favorite book.

Yeah even if Harry Potter was my favorite book I think I would be too ashamed to say it in class.

What's really sad is that my college is actually really highly ranked. Although I assume that would be good for anon trying to pick up chicks, because Harry Potter would be the favorite of even more women some places. Although I admit, I'd stay away from an early-mid twenties dude reading Harry Potter.

>>7363

I can also vouch for that. It's always Harry Potter and Green. You'll get a Divergent fan thrown in there as well.

>>7366

It would be ineffective. There's already a lot of Muslims, and thats not the type of grill I'm looking for. I just want a girl who'll talk about Dostoevsky with me and spank me with a hardback 120 Days of Sodom.

I used to say I liked Harry Poker as a way of asking them to play. Maybe they like the game.

At some point you're going to want to hit that dance floor, because there's no way you can stand the beat pumping through your body without surrendering to its gravitational pull.

Fist-pumping became a club necessity when the dance floor got so crowded from the bumping house music that the only place left to dance was up. To execute the perfect fist-pump, follow these simple steps: Listen to the music, feel the beat, and let your body begin to respond unconsciously. Go only with what feels right in that moment. Don't worry about what looks polished. Who cares what some gorilla thinks while he's watching you vibe on the floor. Why is some dude looking at you, anyway? Close your eyes and start furiously pumping your fist at the air. That's right, not into the air, but at it. You've got to beat back that beat. Battle it, bro. You can't let it win. The deep, thumping bass seizes hold of your every corpuscle. Let the beat strip away those last vestiges of self-conscious embarassment as you pound, pound, pound the air into rhythmic submission. Battle harder. Keep battling, dawg. Never surrender.

Ah, but in the end, the beat always wins. As it always should.

>For some reason

They thirst for good fantasy. Why they halt all pursuit and consumption of fantasy fiction after high school is beyond me. Perhaps it's like being Christian for politicians and liking Harry Potter is some perceived conventional "getting in" method.
