Bernard Cornwell

inbox people posting great authors and saying they're pleb.

Stephen King. And Richard Laymon even though he isn't even a good pop fiction author as King but just bad. Entertaining though.

The Paris of the novels is not the Paris of today.

Today, it's mainly a giant toilet with some people living in it, looking for that last place where no-one has pissed yet.

A similar fate befell Vienna (see World of Yesterday) - from cultural center of the world to nothing.

untravelled poorfag here. Any unironical answers as to what changed in Paris and Vienna of today to make them not /lit/ places anymore? (tl;dr on the whining ausfag's memoir)

emblematic places turned into touristic traps filled with annoying niggers trying to sell you shit every two steps, dirt in the streets and having to avoid gypsy scammers and pickpockets wherever you go

personally i think feminism is sort of an inherent part of marxism as a whole, or in the very least lends itself to the idea

either way yeah bell hooks is a pretty good starting place, she does a good job at being critical and analytical without stooping into bullshit identity privilege politics

yes, bell hooks is quite good

Cool. What books should I pick up first?

definitely look into deep ecology

the wikipedia article will whitewash it but some of the people into it are notoriously extreme

>>7860734
also anarcho-primitivism, if you rummage around in there you will find similarly extreme people

some of them are relatively mainstream while holding views like "we should kill 95% of humans and live in harmony with nature"

no hierarchy.

read derrick jensen

>And but so it goes

And but so he finally realized that the real INFINITE JEST was the friends he made along the way.

People who complain about Penguin have never had Wordsworth Classics.

Make sure it's so simple a foreigner with no English skills could understand it

/lit/ was having a collective race to write a YA trilogy about a young fat girl in school, right at the height of the fat acceptance movement. I suppose right now you'd have to go for a black mtf trans kid to get the same effect.

Make it a love story with no chemistry, the kids love that.

journey to the end of night.

should make you realize your not as fucked as you think.

Try Thomas Ligotti's The Conspiracy Against The Human Race

>>7859183
ahahaha fuckin epic my man

xD

sincerely bruv. Funny as shit!!!

I haven't read his bibliography but so far it's GR > V >>TCoL49 > Vineland

It's a shame that all the /lit/ memes trick readers, who aren't yet familiar with Pynchon, into ignoring his two best books, M&D and Against the Day.

>>7858323
Most people here tell me M&D is better than GR though??
