/lit/ is for the discussion of literature, specifically books (fiction & non- fiction), short stories, poetry, creative writing, etc. If you want to discuss history, religion, or the humanities, [go to /his/](https://boards.4channel.org/his/). If you want to discuss politics, [go to /pol/](https://boards.4chan.org/pol/). Philosophical discussion can go on either /lit/ or /his/, but those discussions of philosophy that take place on /lit/ should be based around specific philosophical works to which posters can refer. [Check the wiki](https://lit.trainroll.xyz/wiki/), [the catalog](https://boards.4channel.org/lit/catalog), and [the archive](https://boards.4channel.org/lit/archive) before asking for advice or recommendations, and please refrain from starting new threads for questions that can be answered by a search engine. /lit/ is a slow board! Please take the time to read what others have written, and try to make thoughtful, well-written posts of your own. Bump replies are not necessary. Looking for books online?
