Stupid Questions Thread

This thread is for questions you're too embarrassed to ask. Too embarrassed to even Google because it'll be on your permanent record and you don't want future historians to find when they look into your Google history and make obscenely ridiculous assumptions about your psyche while writing your biography.

I'll start:

Dudes, I don't understand how punctuation with quotation marks works. Like, if a character is asking a question, how do I indicate the character who asked the question without including the followup but then should I include a question mark in the punctuation? I'll show you the example below:

Is it:

>"What do you mean," asked John.

Or is it:

>"What do you mean?" asked John.

Like, how the fuck do I use punctuation with quotation marks? Where can I find better instruction on this?

You don't even know basic punctuation and you assume you're going to be someone historians are concerned with. You're an unbelievable retard.

What's the big deal with Pynchon, really. I mean it all seems so tryhard.

That's the spirit of Veeky Forums, bud! Thanks for your help!

Asking again, website or app for compiling a to-read list of books? Doesn't actually need to list ISBN numbers or anything, just a cataloguing tool.

why is Evola such a dense writer to read from?

am I making a mistake reading him before Nietzsche? before Rene Guénon?

is it stupid to read his books Ride the Tiger -> A Handbook for Right Wing Youth -> Revolt Against the Modern World -> Pagan Imperialism -> Men Among the Ruins?

Are his books on magic and eastern stuff relevant to his traditional views beyond being inspirations?

is anything lost in the English translations?

How many of you have speech impediments?

Should writers be read chronological? All I've ever really done was read essential acclaimed works in random order.

I'm not going to answer your question, I just want to get your hopes up with a (you).
