Used books, so it looks like you've read them.

fuck i can understand the clothing thing but how arrogant do you have to be to care about what book people see you reading? just as long as it's not some comic book- but even then, I'd want to talk to someone reading Gaiman

>>11756241
have you read Final Crisis
that was fuuuucked up comic lol

>>11756241
>gaiman
kys plebe

>>11756241
>gayman

looooool dude

>>11756241
2bh I want to believe I would meet someone interesting if I sat outside reading Gurdjieff. Either someone chill or someone nuts anyway.

anyone making a show about reading anything widely printed is a fag though

>>11756244
I have actually, it's on my shelf rn. the Superman Beyond 3D part was actually incredible. shit like

>there are 5555 words for nothing
>superman can hear a breathing from a distance- that's your breathing! holy shit he's breaking the 4th fucking wall fuaaaark
>within a split second, Superman saves the multiverse and somehow delivers the uncontainable bleed to lois- through a kiss, this super motherfucker held it in his mouth!!!

Morrison is another god tier writer

>>11756288
also

>Cosmic Armor Superman

god fuck this is why Goku will never lay a finger on Supes, the thought robot is built to combat any future threat and grow stronger to beat it.

>>11756293
superman is honestly too op in his non-canon versions (i.e. superman prime) for goku to win. But take just the standard post flashpoint version and Kakarot will curbstomp him

>>11756225
>>11756239

these.

also curate interests so if you're into fashion have books on designers. andy warhol's philosophy book is an ok place to start.

Wasn't he supposed to write a story arc in Wonder Woman? bet that would have been pretty fucky
don't follow comics anymore so maybe it was made

Jeph Loeb / Tim Sale is probably the most aesthetic team

>>11756299
uhh Final Crisis is canon. ergo superman with cosmic armor could easily defeat any era of goku

*Goku and Superman would be buds.
*Being OP doesn't make you a superior character.

>>11756441
Easy, i just wont read then

I wonder if anyone attacked her for the implied boycott of a book with a PoC lead?

>>11756241
I just want to be a better person because i don't like the self that i am now. And /lit/ isn't a very nice place, it's like a kid liking meteors and shit but her mom sends him to a college tier astrophysics class instead of museum.

The bible wasn't written by white people

>>11756225
Oh fuck off. Religious people can't be smart and creative. I bet you have huge trucks and wear asstight wranglers.

>>11756441
for what purpose

Mein Kampf

anything that isn't pulp schlock or fotm meme books will do the job, 2bh

>>11756455

Any philosophy that isn't a delusional hack like Nietzsche is pretty /fa/

>>11756583
Nietzsche is required reading

He only becomes the epitome of plebdom when people don't do their homework, only read Nietzsche and think they now have philosophy and everything else all figured out

>>11756588
I agree he's required reading, but it isn't /fa/ at all. reading the Hardy Boys when you're young helps to develop the ability, but it doesn't make it /fa/.
>I feel like a prick when I say /fa/ in a moderately serious manner

>>11756592
I agree, I wouldn't want someone to see me reading Nietzsche in public, though I still think he should be read.

/lit/ here

High Modernism is objectively the most effay literary period, fuck all the others.

>>11756220

well op, personally i think the most effay books are, obviously, anything by camus, satre. anything about existentialism. anything by bukowski. anything by dostoyevsky. when i go to starbucks, i like to make it appear that im an intellectual, so i put a well-worn copy of "the stranger" by camus on my table, and dostoyevsky "notes from the underground" and perhaps "dharma bums" by kerouac. I want girls to think im a cute hipster intellectual uni guy, with my thick black rimmed glasses and tweed blazer.

>>11757680
Dont post a picture of the first edition like that shits attainable.

>>11756220
Dostoevsky
Camus
Sartre
Steinbeck

Clearly

>>11758627
The Stranger is one of the most fashionable novels of all time. Clearly you read for plot.

The most effay thing you could read would probably be beat paperbacks in Latin or ancient Greek.

>>11758672
That is too try-hard. You're pushing into /pseud-core/ with that.

Fashion should be more current.

/fa/ x /lit/ is the perfect combination a human being can be. Look good and be smart. A little /mu/ doesn't hurt but they can be pretentious where it's undeserved

>>11758751
To expand on this, reading postmoderism semi-ironically/not overanalyzing or being a pseud is p effay. Reading philosophy is effay. High brow lit is effay as long as you never talk about it unless asked

>>11758721
I think it represents /fa/ perfectly. It's standard somewhat entry level in literary circles, but literally indecipherable to normies. Plebs think it's try-hard or useless/pointless, while the reader gets to feel superior.

As for "current", it's lit not fashion, it doesn't translate 1:1. For example, effay rooms/architecture is often old/industrial/worn/antique.

>>11756270

You are going to meet zero people reading a book. Even if people see what book you are reading and think you are cool, they probably aren't going to come up to you because they don't want to bother you while you read.

>>11758766
>Reading philosophy is effay
Careful with this. Most philosophy is not /fa/.

>>11758776
Fashionable things look old without being old. They still have youth and energy. The most /fa/ things are the product of channeled but powerful emotions.

Greek plays are /fa/, not the philosophy.

>>11756594
can you explain, why you wouldn't want someone see you reading Nietzsche?

>>11758751
How many of these books would appeal to somebody who rarely reads, doesn't enjoy mundane fiction, and wants to try and help improve himself through books.

>>11758785
Fashionable things can be old, don't be a fucking retard.

>>11756220
What books are cool to be seen reading? Like not books that everyone should have read once but books that are effay to reread or contemporary to be in the middle of?

>>11758812
The Great Gatsby
To Kill a Mockingbird
Of Mice and Men
1984
The Things They Carried
The Catcher in the Rye
Slaughterhouse Five
East of Eden
Brave New World
The Handmaid's Tale
The Stranger
Pride and Prejudice
The Old Man and the Sea
Contemporary(they suck):
Ready Player One
Diary of an Oxygen Thief (really sucks)

That's it.

Im reading through Hyperion almost done with Fall of Hyperion and it's v good. Not sure if effay

>>11758995
I don't think anyone shills it here even the guy you're replying to said it sucks. It's only shilled on Reddit and tumblr. Feels like the author is winking at you the whole time you're reading it, how the fuck can people like this garbage.

>>11758990
Holy fuck that's like a high school reading list. Really is as basic as it gets.

>>11759044
That's why it's a starter kit you autist. Glad you got to flex your smarts for everyone though?

This

Are ebook readers effay?

>>11760975
Not effay at all. Products, like iPads and ebook readers, that are designed for the consumption of more products are not effay.

reading fiction is degenerate and it doesn't make you a better person. adopt some philosophy

>>11756456
Who is Tolkien?
Who is C.S. Lewis?

I am not religious, but I still enjoy reading their works.
