Lmao he dabbed on Corncob hard with that portrait.
>circles a comma
pseud
To the fair it was the only one in the next hundred pages.
>circles a comma that should be a period or semi colon
Yeah and ?
run-on sentences are kino and you're a nerd homosexual.
Oh are they now? Sorry I don’t read rubbish.
maybe that's why he did it.
It's a comma splice, homie. Corncob doesn't understand basic grammatical rules.
If you look for comma splice you don't actually want to read the book. Use punctuation in whatever way you see fit if you're an author. Or don't. The only thing that matters is the meaning and the way the words, sentences and paragraphs are understood. As long as it all comes together and meaning oozes out it's entirely fine.
It's technically incorrect so it's obviously important as an author to consider why Corncob chose it over something else. DFW is an author analyzing the craft of another author
I don't have an issue with that at all. My point is that if you're just looking for wrong punctuation in order to dunk on the guy and not consider why that comma is there then you're not interested in the book in the first place. Making it out to be wrong and leaving it at that just because it's "wrong" is moronic. It's not a formal fricking letter send to some government c**t. Kleist for example has a billion wrong comma in his original German texts and he's beloved and his texts are well appreciated for what they are. As long as the meaning comes across and entices people to continue and touches them it's entirely fine.
Chill out. It is literally the first line of the first page, the guy with the red pen needs to find his footing too.
how much?
>circles page numbers
pseud
>annotating a biography
Man DFW was such a noble soul
Do people truly require this to achieve greater understanding of a book?
I guess I should just give up on my writing career.
I mean I haven't started so it's easy
/lit in a nutshell.
>mfw I thought you were supposed to just read it and remember what you thought
I've never done it, but enjoy things like Helen Vender's vivisections of the Sonnets from time to time. It depends on how much technical craft, allusion, archaic usages, and such are involved. Reverse-engineering prose in this way, however, borders on schizo almost no matter who does it.
Kek this guy lives down the street I should see if he's still there.
Do you think Pynchon is secretly shitting out litrpg and other self published trash on Amazon?
Holy shit pynch sent a letter to vsauce
kek
Incredible. I was also gifted Ficciones and I too was also haunted by T,U,OT. I better start writing my door stopper.
>Sorry guys Homer Simpson is my role model and I can't speak ill of him.
Lmao Pynchmeister has good taste. And he came up with the latke 49 joke?
>frying of latka 49
I'm fookin ded lads
Kino. didn't know he did autographs.
Reminder annotating books ultimately leads to suicide.
Why ruin a book like that
The secret is to special order cellulose nitrate sheets (cels) that match the size of the pages, and overlay each page with one so you can write on them without damaging the book itself.
I do this with all of my books, can you say the same?
DFW vs. Pynch
lets GOOOOOOOO
There was a quiet moment in his life when circled that comma. And now he's dead. Isn't that strange?
The two actions are not disconnected.
How the frick do you people read your own writing?
>Q 3 (vry 1st line of this and last line of S
>Q 5/4 - T/o McC's take on Texas: is not(?) a spiritual creature or a material animal
>Q 19 - (me on (????? fake like Suttree?
>Q 38 - Narrator's broad comment. Any pattern to these? Agenda? & p. 40 & 44
>44 & 45 - McC's so heavy w/ narrative introsuions on what's to come. K.41s both suspense and subtlety. Why's he do it?
>Q 54 How does kid end up lone survivor of Comanche attack?
>Q 57 - symbolism of bush of dead babies?
>Q 66 After ???? but attack, why does kid tel Spruce 'What's wrong is wrong w/ through you-
>Q 78 - 19 - T/o McC's first dose of Glanton's gang
>Q 81 - Do paragraph on the two Jacksons
>Q 94 Judge calls kid 'Young Bleserios'?
>Q 94 Ack paragraph on false prophetess?
...
>Huck Finn (line pointed at "names are now lost")
I guess this is impressive to people who just look at the notes but don't actually read them.
>See the child.
That's from Absalom, Absalom?
Interesting. I always thought DFW was ugly pseudy shit, but this opening had me hooked. I think I’ll pick up Blood Meridian after work tonight
>thirty three underlined
DFW knew.
He most definitely did.
I tried reading DFW but was filtered, I’ll probably have to get a reading companion.
May I inquire on what you two are talking about?
Age of Christ.
The Leonids, happen every 33 years. It’s a sign and an omen that Kid is born in this day.
The father remembers this day because of the omen, not because Kid is important.
33rd degree mason
Christ also died at 33 years old.
I dont mark anything I read. Which isn't to say I dont think about it, or summarize points, or analyze details. It's just that to be honest the expression of that is usually in my own posts on here or in discord groups or messages to friends who read.
Same with journaling, which was always pretty universal among people, but I dont do. The equivalent is blogposts on fricking IQfy. I wish I could get my entire post history from the last 10 years. It would be an awesome diary.
Best thread in some time.
someone should save all the files and put them in a mega or something
Would people really think more of me if I started circling punctuation and page numbers in my books?
stop being a homosexual
I can't do it alone, anon-san.
Is it as stupid as I think it is?
does anyone have that pasta of Corncob at the dinner party where everyone makes fun of him for writing genre fiction? I haven’t seen it posted in years.
