/lit/ - Literature and Writing

i got ideas but its too difficult and when i do the small daily stuff i peter out and forget

i just wanna talk about my story but its too big

Thoughts?

I've been enjoying it so far. Very sincere and witty analysis of WWI Europe and Western Democratic society.

Is listening to an audiobook ever an acceptable substitute for reading the real thing?

pic unrelated.

If there is I'd appreciate some recommendations.

It is here bros. The novel by the Harry.

I've been overthinking this recently; why read translated fiction and poetry? What is the value in reading something that isn't in the author's own language/voice? Can poetry even truly be translated? If not, wouldn't that carry over into fiction as a whole, since sound, flow, word choice, wordplay, and cultural/linguistic implications are so important to the experience and meaning of a story? Am I just having some sort of midwit short circuit here?

Bros, what's some good erotica? I feel like I've been missing out.

What was up with his fixation on foreheads? A Tale of Two Cities alone has like a hundred references to the foreheads various people; male and female, young and old, rich and poor. Was it a fetish?

Today I will become a woman by shoving my bloody dilation dildo down her throat until she is dead.

That is all
