no if it is decent quality hardcover.
paperback won't get damaged much either and it will die sooner or later anyway.

Gee I wonder why Keets sounds so butthurt about valor in combat

>Bookish poets can be sexy too!
>*wears surplus Great War field jacket and cries while jacking off to daguerreotype of Maud*

Face it, Keets just mad that about being ultracucked by a Real Man, a fact reverberates down the ages in exact proportion to his literary reputation.

Go back to where you came from, summerfag.

When you think of a cool title before the rest of the book, you have to stretch it a bit.

It apparently comes from a poem by Robert Burns called 'Coming thro' the Rye', which Holden overhears a boy singing, somewhere early on in the book. That's what conjures up the whole shebang about kids running through the rye, and him catching them before they fall off the edge as a metaphor for preserving their innocence..

Even weirder is that the poem is about sex, and his misunderstanding of it is the irony

worthless fucking faggot tryhard 50 year old manchild living with parents fingerless glove fucking meticulously hair gel beard grooming googling men's fashion blogs to find out how many buttons he should leave undone on his shirt uninsightful insipid adolescent commentary on basic bitch high school "western canon" reads absolutely pointless worthless nobody with an audience of braindead rubes who would watch his videos if the actual dialogue were randomly generated lorem ipsum gibberish because their porcine glassy eyes are only scanning for whether he's a "Plausible Book Readin' Fancy Guy becuse I also like books and I want to watch Book Videos from a Guy Who Talks about IMportant Books like theones I know as a complete bourgeois pleb with no depth whatsoever" should honestly kill himself and be buried with his fingerless gloves that he wears indoors in summer to make videos while sipping a $34 california wine he bought that was right next to a $19 wine and he felt guilty for not buying the more expensive "refined" one even if he can't tell the difference. fingerless glove wearing fucking hair primping preening piece of shit 45 year old faggot making content that would be embarrassing if a 22 year old internet marketing how-to video creator made it. cliff is the complete cultural bankruptness and meta-meta-meta-simulation of the entire bourgeois symbolic order spinning around and sucking its own cock at transfinite speeds, Cliff is the End of History itself, wearing fingerless gloves

I suppose I should've taken into consideration how late it is here, OH WELL

I fucking drop any fantasy book that has names that appear to be a random collection of syllables and consonants

Reading latest-Stephen King stuff is an almost uninterrupted torture. It's like he wants you to think "Wow, he's an old writer who still knows his thing", but he doesn't. If you really want to read King try the first Dark Tower book. I strongly suggest you to end your friendship with this guy who recommended it

I want you to kill your friend. Do it for me.

I was going to commit to helping you but there is WAY too much work to be done and I don't want to take more adderall before I go to sleep. Is English your first language? That's not meant to insult you, but I am genuinely curious. I'd suggest reading your work out loud and thinking about how you'd react if you heard someone saying it - this would weed out many of the worst sentences.

It's bad
It doesn't warrant its own thread
Take it to a writing thread bucko

Most pseuds will just recommend This is Water or like Good Old Neon or something. He's actually a damn good writer. Read his Oblivion stories to determine whether or not you want to commit to something like Infinite Jest. His essays are very enjoyable too.

He can’t think, he can’t write. There’s no discernible talent.
