>he thinks he's /fa/ >he doesn't read mother

Yo homie, there's a forum here called /lit/ where this thread belongs.

Listen, effay is something that spans more than just this board. It stands for something more aural. It stands for contemporary culture, as well as its connections to the past, as a whole, and the act being in tune with the world around oneself. Thus, in an attempt to apply some sort of understanding to this "thing" which is too large for the human imagination alone, we created 4chan and the forum system. Go explore. Don't limit yourself to /fa/ for discussion of books.

Lmao jk. I'm reading slaughterhouse five right now, it's p good.

Ovid's Metamorphoses and Sophocles's Theban Plays
On a lesser level Homer's Odyssey and Iliad
Classics is as effay as it gets tbqh

anyway reading is becoming outdated

Reading Camus, have just read Kant. Feelin ight.

>>11543868
Lesser level?!

The iliad is the foundation for all classical (and by extension western) literature and is probably the greatest you pleb

>reading just for the sake of bragging about it

This is what most bitches do these days. I see all of these girls read Hemingway, Camus, Murakami etc., but they have no real understanding of them. They just read it for the sake of having done it.

Pretentious cunts

It doesn't matter what you read--you will get memed on anyways. How about Pynchon's Crying of Lot 49? That's pretty effay because it's kind of weird and yet simultaneously accessible, making sure that you won't be accused of being pretentious.

Waiting for these in the mail, R8 me

>>11544027
I love the film, that's why I picked up the book

Should I have gone with Lolita instead? I am a Kubrick stan

>>11544027
I don't know how anyone would call the Crying of Lot 49 pretentious.

>>11544030
yes, Lolita is not a meme
>>11544033
desu it's not pretentious, but he is a meme

stfu w. this meme bullshit

forget all preconceived notions and give the book an honest read

a good book will change your life

none of the nuance or subversiveness of the greek

Any /fa/ book that is either inspirational, makes you a better person or greek mythology please, thank you.

>>11544297

Pic related is probably my favorite book of all time
it encapsulates all the wondrous joy, heartbreak, and melancholy of growing up.

In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust is another of my favorite works.
Book two, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower, is a particular favorite.
