/lit/ is for the discussion of literature, specifically books (fiction & non-fiction), short stories, poetry, creative writing, etc. If you want to discuss /lit/chan itself, or have technical questions or feedback, go to /m/. Philosophical discussion can go on /lit/, but those discussions of philosophy that take place on /lit/ should be based around specific philosophical works to which posters can refer.

Check the wiki, the catalog, and the archive before asking for advice or recommendations, and please refrain from starting new threads for questions that can be answered by a search engine.

/lit/ is a slow board! Please take the time to read what others have written, and try to make thoughtful, well-written posts of your own. Bump replies are not necessary.

Finished: Negative Space, maybe too slow and repetitive at times but overall pretty cool, some very wonkers imagery towards the end.
Next: Gravity's Rainbow, meme book but 70 pages in and so far I'm really liking it.

I recently read Elric for the first time, and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
It's delightfully simple. I am missing all of the annoying DnD-isms and grand world building concepts, the competition in justifying fantasy and fiction from the viewpoint of rational scientific society and history.
It's just fiction, it's enjoyable fiction. Especially the first book is such decent read.
It really reminded me of the way I felt reading Howard's Conan stories…

It seems odd to profane this empty canvas of a board. Post Number three (3).

It little profits that an idle king,
By this still hearth, among these barren crags,
Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws unto a savage race,
That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.
I cannot rest from travel: I will drink
Life to the lees: All times I have enjoy'd
Greatly, have suffer'd greatly, both with those
That loved me, and alone, on shore, and when
Thro' scudding drifts the rainy Hyades
Vext the dim sea: I am become a name;
For always roaming with a hungry heart
Much have I seen and known; cities of men
Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
