So you can just straight up copy Joyce and get published? Interesting...
As shit as Pynchon is, at least the genre fiction slop he wrote is original.

>No fragment of time nor space anywhere was wasted, every instant and every cubic centimeter crowded crushing outward upon the next with the concentrated activity of a continent spending itself upon a rock island, made a world to itself where no present existed. Each minute and each cubic inch was hurled against that which would follow, measured in terms of it, dictating a future as inevitable as the past, coined upon eight million counterfeits who moved with the plumbing weight of lead coated with the frenzied hope of quicksilver, protecting at every pass the cherished falsity of their milled edges against the threat of hardness in their neighbors as they rung together, fallen from the Hand they feared but could no longer name, upon the pitiless table stretching all about them, tumbling there in all the desperate variety of which counterfeit is capable, from the perfect alloy recast under weight to the thudding heaviness of lead, and the thinly coated brittle terror of glass.

What makes you think it is pretend?

He drops the thread once someone puts in the effort to show he is a moron or just ignores him and talks about literature.

He isn’t going to reply but I’m kind of curious too. All we know is who he hates but I can infer he likes Joyce. But Joyce is one of the most beloved people on this board so it’s not exactly anything unique.

He posted a list in the previous thread, it was a fairly standard "classics" list, the big names and a few big names that seem obscure to non-readers. He linked the thread above if you really want to know.

There are actually midwits on this board who would put someone like Gaddis or that genre fiction writer (forgot his name...Thomas Pinchon or something like that?) as "literature" over Visual Novels...baka, /lit really is dead.

I see what you're saying. Gaddis and Pynchon are definitely below anime tier. I agree with you and the OP on that. Pynchon is a hack and the more midwits see it the better the board will be.

It's really nice of you guys to post in a more intellectual manner about how unliterary Gaddis and Pynchon are. We need more anons like you.

>>25210630
Agreed brother.
I've read 10 or so pages of "Gravity's Rainbow" before such toil became unbearable.
If excellence or even a minimum of literary decency was valued by the participating individuals of this literary discussion forum one would see fervorous hatred for the likes of Pynchon being displayed throughout half the catalog, in the form of "Pynchon Hate Threads", however, instead, one sees a coordinated network of masturbatory postmodern sarcastic unstable degenerates proclaiming one "pynched" (degenerate neologism), and calling one "chud" for denouncing what any rational mind would immediately perceive as a grave, unpardonable, insult: the promotion of written material that reminds one of the putrid culture of Reddit.
Pynchon's postmodern degeneracy is not limited to literature as one would think. I try pointing that out every day, but it has been costly. During the last few months there emerged a pattern: I wake up, and I am tormented by visions of that one hyuk hyuk photograph before I am even conscious of my own surroundings. This preposterous daily postmodern attack sets me in agitated movement towards my personal computer to initiate what, in the end, I know will be a lost battle against postmodern forces of evil. I therefore make an appeal to every user of this intellectual literary discussion forum to join efforts in a campaign to sabotage any attempt at cementing Pynchon in its zeitgeist, thus achieving some level of purification.
The fire rises brother.

All pastas started as individual posts. And do you not see the comedy in being tormented by visions of Pynchon's buck teeth for months, despite only reading 10 pages? "agitated movement towards my personal computer"?
I didn't even write it, I'm responsible for:
>Pinecone is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a redditor, scat fetishist, pervert, pedo, looney tunes, Joyce ripoff, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a glowie and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out."

Is this guy still spamming gaddis and pynchon threads to “take them down”? At least in the pynchon threads he always posted anime pictures so you could fikter his retarded posts. Did his “visual novels are literature but Pynchon isn’t” thread get taken down?

What set him off? He’s been shitting up pynchon threads for awhile trying to derail them. I thought he was just a retarded weeb but then he bumped a Gaddis thread for months and has been spamming pynchon, gaddis, and dfw threads now. Did someone insult his anime?

>>25214717
Something something got absolutely destroyed in an argument about Gaddis ripping off Joyce by some anon who people call the DFW drunkard or something. He was arguing for Gaddis ripping off Joyce but apparently he’s never engaged in argumentative discourse before because people say he couldn’t make a single effective point.

don't worry, i heard pinecone likes anime too. maybe he actually does have good taste in something (we all know writing's not his strength)

>who people call the DFW drunkard or something
Alcoholic DFW anon. I am not really an alcoholic or that big on DFW but I got a reputation years ago after I decided to see if I could convert an IJ plotfag; I was often drinking when I was going round and round with them and by the end of the night my posts would all be immediately followed by a post correcting mistakes and admissions of being drunk. Fun times.
>>25214950
What book do you want me to prove you haven't read this time? You have been throwing about names quite a bit in the Gass thread, one of those? Maybe I should prove your samefagging? can't believe how many are falling for it.
Don't worry, It will probably be a few weeks before I post again, you can carry on.

>>25215056
Hah, didn’t know that, well thanks for the lore. I’ll have to look in the archives to see how you did it lol. With regard to this absolute fucking loser of an OP. I suspect /lit/ isn’t his most frequent board. I don’t think he’s read anything, actually, at least finished anything. he even admits above he read 10 pages of GR. this is clearly some stunted Gen Z you’re dealing with here who more likely spends time on /v/, or /a/ than he does here.
I’m not even sure he’s trying to hide his samefagging at this point, he has this really cringe inducing prose that is pretty “unique” and not in a good way. I get he’s trolling but he types like some autistic anime faggot in 2009.

I never did it, I never succeeded, at least not that I know of. The threads that got me the reputation were after I had given up on trying to find a way to explain things to them and had decided to try and just wear them down by poking holes in their theories for solving plot to fill in the missing year. These threads would often go 100+ posts of me making plotfags seethe, so I got a reputation.
I sort of had a success a year or two ago but I don't count it since it was an anon who made weekly threads as he read it, it made it easy to just nudge him in the right direction so he could figure it out and put the pieces together. I'd like to talk to him again, curious what he has been reading and if what he learned while reading IJ carried over to everything he read, I think it did; he saw the light.
I miss what /lit/ was.

Plotfags on /lit/? Doesn’t surprise me actually; this place isn’t the same anymore. I started coming back here recently after maybe 10 years of being gone? I forgot how addictive it was, it was never perfect but it lacks a certain charm I feel it once had. Even IJ seems to have more detractors than defenders these days; no one speaks about it in earnest either way.
