No. I read only it so I could understand references to it.

I am reading it rn. I dont understand why people think of of it as a meme book. Its quite a read holding my attention so far. At least much better than my two previous reads which was the Republic and the War of The Worlds.

Read it desu, you will read it sooner or later, so do it sooner

I pick Sadie and we'd have sex for a week straight

I pick Angela Carter and we'd have sex and write erotic fiction for a week straight.

Laurie Penny and I would just constantly harass and cajole her until she let me eat her giant fat ass.

because americunt education system forces them to read it.

>>7852620
because it's extremely popular, iconic, and actually has significant literary merit

Modern feminists don't read or right just like modern reactionaries.

Since liberals dominate the academic community, surely they have some good literature to explain their viewpoints.
You can't tell me they all get their information from tumblr and Laci Green.

Man, every time I read something by Bertcuck Rustled, it's just a comedy goldmine.

limited

Because he can't...

For one, YA is extraordinarily profitable. John Green probably has an eight figure net worth, at least, thanks to all the YA he's written.

Second, what >>7857904 said. He's fairly limited. He writes good teenagers, but he can't fathom adults. He can't fathom actual children, either. Notice how all the children in John Greene books are unbearable. All he can write is smarter-than-average teenagers. This is because Greene himself essentially has the mind and the makeup of a smarter-than-average teenager. He's very clever and witty, but he's not really an adult. He can only write what he knows, and he doesn't really know anything more than YA. When I say 'know,' I'm using it in a very fundamental way.

that is tin foil hat shit, and you know it.

This site is right winged. Climate change is not a topic discussed here very often.

Also, Spotted the redditor

SGM Eric Haney wrote a book about his time in a counter-terror unit that while being alternating flavors of hilarious and sad, remains through and through 'comfy'.

Seeing as I do nothing with my day but read weird things on the internet, I'll tell you about a theory I've got about antigrav technology and how long the various governments of the world have had it.

rec: Lolita

I've wanted for years that 4chan should have philosophy and art boards, and they've delivered. Philosophy can be discussed or shitposted about on either of /lit/ or /his/, and art threads are now a fairly common occurrence on /his/, where it seems to be the best spot for them.

Art threads do happen periodically throughout this website, because everyone senses that there is a gap for this dedicated interest, but /his/ is close enough for now. just keep an eye on /his/.

>7852125
Somehow I had a feeling that posting Darger would just net me Lolita recs. I probably should've made an excepting note about that in the OP, desu.
And thanks for the pointer. I haven't checked /his/ all that often because I figured it was mostly older vanilla stuff (and I'm more into Outsider art and Dada and related), but I'll give it another looksee.

It's been a while since I've read either of them, but colorful and vaguely absurd vicious cycles make me think of Burroughs or Irvine Welsh.

This thread's been done to death. Sage. Hidden.

That guy in the corner reminds me of litn.

Read Stoner. It's depressing, but you'll realize that if Stoner can get through his life you can also get through yours.

Gravity's Rainbow. Some of Beefheart's lyrics remind me of Pynchon, and vice-versa.
