Glad you realize your inferior. But really, this is 4chan and not the place for you. We are redpilled and against identity politics.

You are actively destroying the West by advocating white genocide. Go to /r/books

I've honestly never read Sowell (and I'm a finance major)
I'm assuming one of the reasons he's touted by the right is because black right wing intellectuals are rare
He seems pretty insightful though

Poetry is the apex of literature.
Most of it sucks though.
Good poetry is good.
Bad poetry is baaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Novelists are failed short story writers.
Short story writers are failed poets.

Yes. That's why all those teenagers and twentysomethings keep reading Yeats and Rimbaud. The true highbrow entertainment is reading Chuck Tingle and Harry Potter post-ironically.

my least favorite kafka to read. he just thinks it's funny that bad things keep happening to this guy. everything else by kafka is p gold. this is just his most intense, cerebral, and meaningless work. Amerika is mad good for a kafka novel.
