"Chance? Judge, you haven't got but one chance. You been guessing right in this state going on forty years. You been sitting back here in this room and nigger boys been single-footing in here bringing you toddies and you been guessing right. You been sitting back here and grinning to yourself while the rest of 'em were out sweating on the stump and snapping their suspenders, and when you wanted anything you just reached out and took it. Oh, if you had a little time off from duck hunting and corporation law you might do a hitch as Attorney General. So you did. Or play at being a judge. You been a judge a long time. How it would feel not to be a judge any more?"

Nah, I'm just pulling quotes from "All King's Men". The book is just so cool.

Like, you know, I am actually SMART! I read BOOKS and I even THINK sometimes! Can you believe that? 'Cause you better.

StarNigger! How goes it?!

I, too, enjoying a little literature. Not to your extent, I`ve seen the UnaBomber thread, and I don`t have the commitment to go to such analytical lengths.

I mostly read Sci-Fi or fantasy, and the occasional manifesto. I dunno, I feel so apathetic towards society and literature. I suppose I read fiction to escape, as opposed to videogames.

I haven`t played one in two years. My latest book that wasn`t fiction was, "March of The Titans."

I'm fine.

I didn't do anything really with that Unabomber Manifesto thing. These were just immediate reactions to his vision, and basically I didn't even finish reading that stuff. I cannot listen to the person who just wants to trash the place without preventing the trash becoming the stuff again. Something like that. xD

> I mostly read Sci-Fi or fantasy
I love 9 Princes in Amber.
As for sci-fi, I dunno, Philip K. Dick I love the most, I guess. Though I'm kinda not well-read at this particular genre, I've mostly read Heinlein.

Reading books is hard. I mean, some books are just braindamaged and not even worth reading, so it's hard to focus, and some are way too hard to be read in a quick fashion. Like, I think some of them even require notes to be taken, that's how cryptic they could be.

Anyway, I don't think about it too much usually.

>I cannot listen to the person who just wants to trash the place without preventing the trash becoming the stuff again.

I had similar thoughts. Attempting to read line after line became tiresome, I much preferred Brenton`s, dumb-ed down, meme manifesto. I have more of a habit archiving such material, rather than really nit picking their literal words.

>I love 9 Princes in Amber.

That`ll be my next read.

There`s a series I`ve been reading off and on, "The Sword of Shannara (trilogy)," except, that particular trilogy has four books, not three (Prequel book).

Not only that, but it goes beyond the "trilogy" into multiple side series, following lineage characters. Terry Brooks is the author, the book series is a comfy read. There`s also a television series, but I wouldn`t watch it unless you want further brain damage.

>>that's how cryptic they could be.

There are some books out there I`d never touch because their writing contents are incredibly messy and unfocused, not to be confused with older books with different uses of verbage and such.

I disliked that about High School readings, the teacher always made the books appear cryptic, but really, it`s only a matter of old fashioned wordage and rationalizations from a different time period. EX: Fahrenheit 451.

Sci-Fi is different from other genres because it was the one to really start off using E-Books. That`s how I go into it. I could purchase a whole 7 books in a series for less than $15 on my Kindle. Ender`s game is another comfy read, kinda normie though.

On my version, there`s an exert at the beginning from some "super intellectual students" writing to the author talking about how they empathize with Ender, being the only smart people and attending college level classes as adolescent teenagers. It was quite the cringe show. Below, is the exert:

Dear Mr. Card,

I am writing to you on behalf of myself and my twelve friends and fellow students who joined me at a two-week residential program for gifted and talented students at Purdue University this summer. We attend the class, "Philosophy and Science Fiction," instructed by Peter Robinsion, and we range in age from thirteen through fifteenth. We are all in about the same position; we are very intellectually oriented and have found few people who share this trait. ETC...

Basically, the rest of the letter carries the same sentiment.

Didn't read the Ender's book, but watched the movie (which is probably even worst). But the basic idea is very nice, in my opinion, because it goes into the simulated reality concept of games and how that affects reality.
For example, in WWII the bombers had to be in the same place they would kill thousands of people. Today we have drones and, in the exact same fashion as Ender's Game, the people controlling it can kill thousands like you kill in some game like GTA or Call of Duty. This dehumanizes the act of killing. I find this concept nice.
We could use this in our collective writing thread...

Not starfag, btw.

I've started reading that manifesto cause of star's thread too, but then i forgot to finish it, thanks for reminding me.
>>1881

Reading that manifesto was pretty much like reading an imageboard shitpost, really comfy i have to say.
>Ender`s game is another comfy read, kinda normie though.
I liked the sequel books about the Speaker for the Dead more than the original(but maybe there is something wrong with me cause it seems i'm the only one), i recommend them.

Also not starnegro, btw.

I never took Nano to have a considerable number of individuals interested in literature. It gave the impression of a /g/ atmosphere, rather than a /lit/ atmosphere (Albeit a /lit/ board can be rampant with pseudo-intellectualism). I`ve been here since December, never really noticed till Star`s UnaBomber thread. (Nothing really happened with that /ar/ book thread).

>>We could use this in our collective writing thread...

Lel. I got some keks out of that original thread. Whoever was posting on there has optimal writing skills, even if it did get derailed at one point.

>>This dehumanizes the act of killing.

This brings up the cliche that the next world war will not be fought with men, but with technology. Super true, though.

>>Our starnegro is not a negro like all the others! He is a intellectual negro!

Star must`ve been here since as long as me, but I didn`t see his avataring until Hapase made the I`m Quitting 2.0 post.

>>Reading that manifesto was pretty much like reading an imageboard shitpost, really comfy i have to say.

I concur. I also have the El Paso shooter`s manifesto, it`s not much of a shitpost, and I agree with his conclusions. But killing off some spics won`t do anything. One Nanon I read on here said, "Quantity is a quality in of itself."

>>I liked the sequel books about the Speaker for the Dead more than the original(but maybe there is something wrong with me cause it seems i'm the only one), i recommend them.

I will also look into this.

I think most users here are crossboard-posters between /g/ and /l/, some also /pol/, few /b/, i'm pretty much everywhere, but yeah cause of its tor-nature tech oriented people ends up here that's way it has a /g/ athmosphere.
>I`ve been here since December, never really noticed till Star`s UnaBomber thread.
We had >>>/l/11007 going on since quite some time.
>Lel. I got some keks out of that original thread.
Happy that you liked my thread, it's a shame it ended so quickly, i was having fun, consider joining the second attempt on >>>/meta/5099 if you feel like it.
I had already an idea for the story so that William gets defeated and ge goes in exile and creates another hapa kingdom(cause asukafag wants to make his own hapa imageboard it would have been a nice parallel), but oh well
>Star must`ve been here since as long as me, but I didn`t see his avataring until Hapase made the I`m Quitting 2.0 post.
This is one of his older posts with an avatar, https://nanochanqwrwtmamtnhkfwbbcducc4i62ciss4byo6f3an5qdkhjngid.onion/l/9530.html#post9583
the avatar is different but it's him i know him too well, my first interaction with him was when he started shitting up my Nichijou thread https://nanochanqwrwtmamtnhkfwbbcducc4i62ciss4byo6f3an5qdkhjngid.onion/a/1157.html#post1163
But i think he posted on /g/ since the thread on 8chan /tech/ was posted.
Sometime i like to tease him for no reason, but he is best avatarfag on nano, lain is a close second, poomaru and bazookafag btfo. Shame he is not active anymore outside random posts.

I do enjoy the /g/ orientation, but jeez, some of those posts become derailed and unfocused. William knows a lot about what he`s talking about, but his agenda filled contributions ruin threads.

> We had >>>/l/11007 going on since quite some time.

I forgot about this thread. I BTFO-ed after Hapase made /t/ and /l/, so I may have never took it seriously.

>consider joining the second attempt on >>>/meta/5099 if you feel like it.

I was hesitant the first time because I had no clue as to what to contribute, nor did I wish to unknowingly screw up the thread.

(Would`ve been a nice parallel, though)

>lain is a close second, poomaru and bazookafag btfo. Shame he is not active anymore outside random posts.

I forgot about Bazookafag as well. Another Nanon, may have been you, did some research into when Asukafag started avataring. I dunno, the culture here has a super schizo feel to it. It`s comfy, but I dislike how it becomes bad political takes. More so, pseudo-intellectual political takes.

I`m not against having /pol/, I just wished it was more event oriented than, "It`s the Masons!!!."

For example, that Brenton Tarrant (It`s happening thread), that was a good thread. We generated discussion based of an event and it`s implications on Ethnic replacement and European identity.

Making yet another thread on Jews is tiresome. You`d only need a single thread for that.

I guess what I`m getting at is a board that incorporates the old Alt-Right feel of /pol/, but a genuine discussion feel of /news/.

Weird, I was certain you were the same dude who made the nanochan dark theme. Well, that brings your value down in my eyes, sry xD
