So, my gf gave me this book as a gift for my birthday and bought one for herself too. What do you guys think about this?

smack her head with it as hard as you can

I think you are lucky for having a loving girlfriend, user.

lmao plebs

Honestly should have smacked her ass with it

True love doesn't exist. You have to realise that a malfunctioning chemical balance within the brain is ephemeral and love is a fleeting feeling, especially in females.

>it's just chemicals bro

>love is a fleeting feeling
Then enjoy it while it lasts.

Regardless, love hinges on the periphery of mind, on the particular that can only be inasmuch as it is relative to another pariticular, but cannot be in an of itself. The Empirical biobabble is actually a twee affirmation of love. An tee-hee with the hand covering the mouth. Reason alone fully dispenses with it.

I have to ask this.
How the fuck can people having literature as a hobby haven't read lolita and tale od two cities? It's not that they are entry level books or plebs books, but they belong in the category of famous classics so how they get nominated on this board so much? Shouldn't having read them basically a prerequisite to post on this fucking place?

You're right. We talked about this book once like a month and a half ago and she remembered about it. That's incredibly cool.

I'm a KHV, pal.

It's a primary feeling which gets stifled by logic. Once I mute my logic and abstract cognition, and this can only be achieved by drinking, I am able to feel it too. Or maybe it's a feigned, fleeting thought too.

There's literally thousands of must-read books. It takes a couple of years just to read the entry level classics, especially if you also have a bunch of local classics or some special interest to divide your time with.

You need to get some pussy dude. Its not even really that great but its clear not having really fucked u up bad and u are worse off than if u were having been going to smash

> in the UK
> Milk and Honey is currently in the classics section of every WH Smiths

next time you're outside on the high street, check it for yourselves

You're fucking with me. I'll have to check this shit

If you just find someone you click with and keep it easy then yes it's a nice refreshing time but if you jump head first into a co-dependent relationship because subconsciously your dick thirsty and you got a thing for girls who look like your mom then maybe don't do it dude Outkast's Hey Ya warned us of the devastation of running into unhealthy relationships accompanied by a catchy tune

> not marrying your best friend

Get on my level, anons. We don't have to smoosh balls every night but when we do it's magical.

>"""author""" is both female and brown
>gee I wonder why her """book""" is being advertised everywhere????

>the poems are also suspiciously short and shallow in meaning

Oh wait, it's because she literally promoted them through Instagram.

This never happened.

Yep, Asian porn guy is full of shit. Or likes to pretend - in which case, continue.

Living is an imbalance, thought is firing neurons. Life is not in the technical detail.

I think the book is intrinsically worthless. However, it sounds as though your girlfriend wanted to give you something she thought was valuable, and also find something you could have in common.

NEVER be nasty about any gift that comes with a sincere desire to please.

I cant find a cheap copy of Lolita /:

It's like you can find practically any book you want (especially one as popular and prominent as lolita) for free on the internet...

cudgel her head with it

I think you should jizz on her face one day when she least expects it.

Your girlfriend reads shit and you should be ashamed.

Good advice, user. One should always be tactful even when you don't actually like something.

Margaret Atwood

>cudgel
I like that word man, nice

Holy shit you are a faggot, go reread those two posts and try to convince me that you aren't an annoying cunt. Stop posting

...

not everyone is an anglo

HYPOCRITE THAT YOU ARE

Love is not just chemicals, mong. You can have a fuck with anyone, but you can't love everyone. You can have a kid with anyone but you can also love someone and have a barren relationship despite this problem. You can crush on many people and hook up with them and still never stop thinking about that special one.

kek

Sad

>You can crush on many people and hook up with them and still never stop thinking about that special one.
This hit me hard. :(

If you write please stop

>in this moment, i am euphoric
also this

I would fuck her so hard in the most tender, loving way possible
fill her so full of my love that her next book are poems about me

I remember when I was 15

>buying books
>having a gf
I can smell the lack of discernible talent through my screen

Sounds fake, bad bait

Someone post an absolute howler from her?

hey you reader yes

i woman

I didn't think it was a b8 because it seemed pretty low quality if it was as such.
But then again, maybe he's a genius and knew that was coming from me.

she's subhuman and only deserves the kiss of a bullet. as do you.

I'd "smash" cockroaches like you under my sole, nice vocabulary, lack of punctuation and slang. Did /b/ begin to percolate onto this board? Because your post is on a worse level than even what's on /pol/.

What is it, then?

Did you know Milk and Honey is traditionally used to induce intense diahreah?

seriously.

you lying cunt

she's a liberal female mate, she would say you raped her and bring up charges

Way too much of a tryhardfag, please, go back to wherever you came from.
This board does not need you.

Low-key how do I get a girlfriend, sensei?

I haven't read any Dickens. There's a lot to read in the canon and honestly he doesn't interest me that much

Don't speak for everyone.

You don't understand the meaning of that word, authoritarian shit.

ur gonna die alone lol

This is 100 percent true. Her shit is wack

>There are flowers
>And there are people
>But you must
>Recognize
>That you too
>Are a flower

There, I just wrote something in 2 seconds that sounds exactly like some bullshit this bitch would write.

>tfw no gf

>anglocentrism

there are better things to read than your lukewarm 'classics' desu.

Burn it and then piss

Damn that's realy deep I'm weeping now

why don't you read it, form your own opinions, and discuss it with your girlfriend, rather than post on a fucking vietnamese basketweaving board?

It's some extremely formulaic "poetry". I can't come up with a word to describe it, but it seems as if every single Rupi poem fits the mold of "mention human - mention pretty/ugly thing - did you know - you are (not) that thing".

its an ultra rudimentary and in your face version of a simple metaphor.

poetry becomes a technical explanation of its own lyrical tools. weve seen it lots of times before, like in contemporary paintings/installations where they dont depict anything but become obsessed with the fact that textures exist, the painting is nothing else but the statement of "this is a texture, see it".

The Cult of the Noble Amateur
Rebecca Watts
WHY IS THE POETRY WORLD pretending that poetry is not an art form? I refer to the rise of a cohort of young female poets who are currently being lauded by the poetic establishment for their ‘honesty’ and ‘accessibility’ – buzzwords for the open denigration of intellectual engagement and rejection of craft that characterises their work.

The short answer is that artless poetry sells. In October 2016 The Bookseller reported the highest-ever annual sales of poetry books, ‘both in volume and value’. According to Penguin’s poetry editor, Donald Futers, this boom was due to the emergence of a ‘particularly energetic and innovative’ generation of young poets, who come to publishing with a significant and ‘seemingly atypical’ following. Figures released on National Poetry Day this year confirm this is no fad: sales are up by another fifteen percent in volume. In 2016 and 2017 the bestselling title, which has outstripped all others by a staggering margin, has been Rupi Kaur’s Milk and Honey. Here is a typical poem from the book: ‘she was music / but he had his ears cut off’.

>going into WH Smiths
Found your problem

you gf has no soul, but then again how many women can claim to have a soul?

I hold a special disdain for Kaur, considering their writing isn't poetry, it's just artsy sounding statements yet I can't go two days without seeing someone on instagram or Snapchat post a picture of one of those 8 line, shallow, rhythmically-lacking poems

I needed a bit of a rant in an echo chamber , that felt good

either she's cucking you or she will cuck you. Have fun sissy

a good example of the degrading of the arts

get your insecurities out of this thread

Your gf is a brainlet millennial. Consider her mom instead.

I've never met her actually, but she seems much more depressed than my gf
