Men Are Better Than Women by Dick Masterson.

I tend to shit on your list, you know?

>American public
I can't even be mad.

Seems like a sample size of 10 people.

Tbh nothing of value was produced in the 20th century so it doesn't even matter.

Fitzgerald is a horrible author. not a single work of his is worth reading

>>9290678
I liked The Great Gatsby and some of his essays...

>>9290673
One of the most critically acclaimed failures in the history of the English language. Such boring prose and rigid dialogue. I tried This Side of Paradise last year, and I just made a third attempt at Tender is the Night. I can feel myself becoming a lesser writer as I'm reading Fitzgerald's garbage.

Using your knowledge of literature to get qts?

Yeah, but the other stuff sucks.

Capitalism

Read Erostratus by Sartre.
It's a short story about a sociopath who wants to see the world burn.

Harry Potter and the Magic Wizard

I recommend you to put your dick in a blender.

Pechorin: "I smiled as the frog-faggot made his slanderous, vile, overtures towards the quality of work where my story is so well related. As he smugly submitted his post I entered his room. 'Sir', said I, 'your base villainy and low quality shitpost does grave dishonor to me. I challenge you henceforth to a duel.' As the fat shit stood up I immediately struck him with the tip of my riding boot into his groin, and as he sunk to his knees, shot him behind the ear. As his mother rushed down the stairs and stood in horror, I paused, turned to her, and remarked that the previous evening was most unsatisfying, but assured her that it was indeed a Circassian bandit who had slain her worthless progeny. She wept, and I passed her at a clip. A smile slipped to my mouth as I considered the waste of life I had ended. If only the mother had realized that her burden was over!

Beckett

To survive by Michel houllebecq whatever it's spelled

this
reading and regurgitating other people's opinions is not "intelligent"
true wisdom is observing and understanding the world around you and drawing you own philosophy from the truths you observe.
>inb4 flat earther

Hector ran away from Achilles. Pic related is the perfect hero, better than anyone in the Iliad.

>>9290318
I don't know.

Because being still gets boring after a while, there are other perspectives worth apreciating. Maybe there is some corn there too. Pretty much a win win situation. He can always search for others streets to crose if that one didn't wasn't really interesting, and he gets hit by a car while crossing, well, there isn't much he could do anyways, and is just a chicken so who cares.

>>9290344
Sorry, why does his being a chicken mean he shouldn't care?

>>9290261

there can't be people like faulkner and joyce anymore

>>9290279
his hands are creepy and gross

They wouldn't even get published.

Heck, Joyce only really got published in his own time because of his connections.

isn't this 99% of lit? every second shitpost is this tryhard

>>9290224
What exactly is wrong with this guy? He has his own taste, and offers decent arguments for his views.

Better than /lit/ which is basically 'i have to like this work because muh canon'

>>9290265

>>9290119
