It's only been 3 months. Besides the trolls do so well because people take their bait, like everywhere else.

...Like how I'm possibly taking it now.

>>334592

er, rather, less than 3 months. I suck at time.

>>334592
how many trolls you know speak in perfect english and post artsy pictures? just curious

>>334604
It's actually been two months.

Just ignore the threads you don't like.

What the fuck are you talking about?

It's a comedy about a deaf Jew during the Holocaust.

Merchant of Venice, Act 3, Scene 2:
"Riding On The Balls Of Mine"

you sure? You sound like a child.

It depends. 99% of the time I'd prefer to read it myself. The one audiobook I've enjoyed so far though is the one for the Star Trek movie novelization, read by Zachary Quinto. The book itself sounded like it would've been a piece of shit if I read it myself, but read by ZQ (who was really entertaining) it was great to listen to.

So I'll keep an open mind about it.

Listening to Audiobooks while playing grind-intensive MMOs keeps me sane.

I've listened to the audiobook of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Anansi Boys, and World War Z.

Anansi Boys wasn't bad, but WWZ had some segments that were a tour-de-force of audiobookery. Even if I think Henry Rollins was miscast, he did good. And Alan Alda? The man's a god.

My experiences with audiobooks have almost all been positive so far. Different than reading it yourself, but still very much enjoyable, with a good narrator the experience is almost music-like.

Ayn would hate Sarah Palin.

>i've never read ayn rand

What are you doing on /lit, Bayonetta?

>>334513
They would be on the same page economically, but Ayn would think Sarahs a dumb cunt. I don't care what that fatass limbaugh says, Ayn would resent the republican party.

oh. How 'bouts "the Night Land"?

I second this.

Anything and everything by Gene Wolfe

I actually read these way back in junior high and early high school. Enjoyable.

Invisible Cities, by Italo Calvino.

Words, my bad.

1) Probably around 5-10, class notes though
2) There's no consistent average. I think this last week I read around 1000 pages, sometimes I read that in a day. It really depends on the subject material and my mood.
3) Deadlines and stress, but I write essays exclusively at this point. I'm planning to get back into writing short stories - will probably buy a notebook soon-ish for that purpose. I've been told I'm very good at writing stories, the end result is always not what I have in mind. Short stories are my preferred medium - I love the read them.

1.) Not a whole lot. When I get into it, maybe a page a day.

2.) A chapter a day, at least.

3.) Required stuff for classes usually. My friends and I toss around ideas and that usually gets me motivated to write about what we talk about.

>I've been told I'm very good at writing stories

So has everybody else on this board.

>>334578

My mother is a literary genius, you jackass; shit, she even read this four-book series about VAMPIRES recently. What kind of a woman reads books about fucking vampires?! A SEXY ONE. SHE TELLS ME IM WONDERFUL AT EVERYTHING.

>>334333

I can't be mad when I'm talking about Hamlet.

Now I want to read it again, which is good as I'm currently between to reads.

>>334353

We don't have so many bible-thumpers of the traditional sense just mutant rednecks. I mean they dig religion, but I think they hold Jesus Christ and Kenny Chesney on about the same level. Every fucking business here plays that hillbilly shit over the intercom. Trucks all over the place and backwards mentality. Don't get me wrong there are legit people around here who don't buy into party politics and mall culture, lots of herb and head drugs, but the 40+ crowd is TERRIBLE.

>>334381

I lived in NW OKC, so I definitely agree with you about the stereotype (40+ for sure.) But then again I was in a more upper crust snotty part of town. Now I'm finishing up in Norman, which was way different for me. I dunno about Tulsa. The small towns can be mixed, and anything south of Norman to the Texas border is scary.

Where are you from?

OP! Hey you!

Drop whatever you're doing right now and pick up this book immediately:

The Denial of Death, by Ernest Becker.

This book is most excellent. You have no idea.

Also look into E. M. Cioran.

I'm from the U.S.
I took multiple Shakespeare classes in highschool, and even outside of those classes we covered Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Othello, and Hamlet. Go to another state, or get out of remedial classes.
