Uni/college thread?

Post your course and the required reading you've been set.

Meet /lit/Bros at university.

Me first:
>philosophy @ York
>literally don't have to do jack
>life is easy tbh

just finished it, might as well make a thread about it.

there's like a million quotes at the beginning of my copy that talk about how it's his greatest achievement, just amazing, better than IJ etc. it seems silly to me because I liked it but I don't think it had anywhere near as much impact as a lot of other stuff.

Other than that I think it was great on its own. Loved the story about Stecyk being an annoyingly kind kid.

Why does he add supernatural elements to his stuff sometimes? It seems out of place like what significance was there with Drinion being able to levitate?

I always daydream about going up to a hot girl, trying to talk to her, and having nothing to say, being lost for words. I also daydream that I'll be lost for words during job interviews.

But whenever I have to talk, I always do it instantly, naturally, without even having to stop and think! On the one hand, this makes me extremely happy. I'm not autistic or any shit like that, i'm as witty as any normie, especially with 4chan and google.com / lookism giving me that edgy humour.

But on the other hand, the words come out so effortlessly and thoughtlessly, I feel like it's not even me that's saying it. It's like I'm watching myself without any control over my words. I feel like life is predetermined and that there's nothing I can do to improve myself.

Does anyone else have similar feels?

Since when printing HD wine and car pictures into good paper became "sophisticated art of bookmaking"? What makes these guys so popular, i don't get it.

ITT: we recommend each other books based off of things we like other than books, movies, or tv shows

>the color pink
>rice
>loud noisy music
>meditation
>psychology
>philosophy
>minimalist furniture
>Japanese fashion scenes
>cold weather

There you go

So this won the Man Booker Prize.
Has anyone read this, and what do you think?
It looks interesting, the plot synopsis reminds me of Underworld.

>/r9k/ the book

I just finished this, /lit/, and I have no idea what to make of it. I found it hilarious, sure, but I find myself wanting something more of it, though I don't know what. What feels did this make you feel?

Name me some good books containing the following elements:

>career criminality
>alcoholism
>homosexuality
>blue collar settings
>class struggle

Thank you

Salut les Francophones. Je sais que vous êtes là, on a déjà eu deux-trois bons fils ensemble (hormis quelques raids du 15-18, mais que voulez-vous...).

Je propose la même chose que d'habitude: postez vos textes, critiquez ceux des autres, discutez de vos auteurs préférés, tout ça. N'oubliez pas les espaces insécables normales: les espaces fines ne s'affichent pas bien sur 4chan.

La raison pour laquelle je lance le fil, c'est que j'ai commencé à lire D'un château l'autre, et qu'autant j'aimais bien le style du Voyage au bout de la nuit et de Bagatelles pour un massacre, là j'ai du mal à supporter la teneur en points de suspension et d'exclamation.

Vous croyez que c'était les prodromes de son AVC hémorragique? Ça serait cohérent avec sa manie d'écrire des milliers de pages pour rien et avec son élocution dans les dernières interviews.

All the votes have now been counted. Although now there are a number of ties on both of the lists which we will sort via this poll:

Remove the () and add a .
This tie breaking poll will be open until 23:59 (GMT) on the 27th of october.
If there are still some remaining ties then we will sort them out by counting the votes the tied authors got on the book list. For example: If Albert Camus and Ernest Hemingway are still tied when the poll is over, then I will count the number of votes their books got in the book poll and sort it out that way. If there are still ties after this then I will just flip a coin.

I have now found pictures for all the authors who are definitely going on the list. I will find the rest of the pictures when the poll closes. I am currently finding the first edition covers for all the books and I am about 1/3 done with that.

Then I'll create the infographic via Gimp. Which will hopefully be done this week. It all depends on how quick I am to learn how to use Gimp.

If you have any suggestions on how the infographic should look like, then please post your suggestions in the thread.

Love you /lit/ as always.
