This book sucked ass.

nigga is high school tier, stop complaining

wtf are you cunts talking about

it's a great book

Novels can never be truly great books.

Why?

>first person fiction
>great book

Wrong. It's hardly a novella, anyway.

Try The Waves by Woolf. I think you'll like it.

What is wrong with first person fiction?

who makes those rules?

But now you can bore people at dinner parties with droll remarks regarding adaptations and Apoc now.

(Don't forget to shoehorn in the term 'spirit of the text')

People that understand the difference between genre fiction and literature.

Why are you even on this board, need help with a highschool essay?

...

That's shit, throw it away

No it really definitely isn't, you cuck

Also true, also true.

Because novel is the literary form invented, developed and constantly chosen by mediocre people

First person > third person. ALWAYS.

>People that understand the difference between genre fiction and literature.

Holy shit, that might be the most fedora-tier thing I've ever heard.

And even if that was true, what's saying "genre fiction" couldn't contain material just as interesting and thought provoking as "literature".

...

the arguably greatest book ever written could probably be labeled "genre fiction"

talk shit about your own diary m8

Its a dry read but worth it for how vividly it describes the setting. Its also better going in thinking about Brando's Kurtz because it makes the novels Kurtz even more disappointing.

Also it is written in third person, but one of the characters is speaking the whole time you idiot.

what does that mean?

I usually also hate the first person but there some good books in it, like Moby Dick, The Savage Detectives and Pedro Paramo.

Why do the people who say start with the Greeks hate fiction so much?
I'm not even a novel fag, it's just pretty autistic.

speak for yourself pathetic cuck

go die you pretentious fag

>First person > third person. ALWAYS.

Kek. Pooor loser. You must read genere fiction and contemporary trash.

And you must be one of those plot fags who ask Veeky Forums how to write a good female character or whatever

Double kek.

It's a decent book

You're all idiots

Wrong.

You were wrong as well.

What the fuck is it with all these Heart of Darkness threads lately?

Kong: Skull Island made Apocalypse Now cool again.

Veeky Forums is not a serious place to discuss literature: the thread

I actually thought it was quite good.
Conrad treats a dark concept without getting edgy or whiny, and even discusses several layers of evil. Kurtz is not the worst guy in the novel, in Marlow's eyes. Not by far.
I just like how he treats the reader/listener like someone who implicitly understands, like how despite his wordiness, he doesn't have the spell out the big lines.
Also it had some humour in it that genuinely made me laugh, not much literary fiction manages that.
It has a slow start, I'll give it that, but not a bad book by any means, plenty of thoughtful, interesting stuff.

Such a mature and eye-opening critique on my thread, thank you.

I didn't mean offense to you. I meant more about the "xD novels" part

Watch me review, now watch me nae nae

Why are you responding seriously to b8 opinions?

I see what you did there.

> how vividly it describes the setting
this has to be bait

It's what he would have wanted.
