Person X:
>"I really like books by [some author]."
Person Y:
>"Then I know you'll love the works of [some other author]!"
Assuming you're Person X, how often have you personally found what Person Y says to be true/the case?

Almost zero unless it's relating to classic /lit/. If it's "If you like classic author X from country A, then you will like classic author Y from country X."
If it's a literally who or some contemporary garbage I just say that I must get around to reading it, and never do.

No it's literally terrible. Poorly written capitalist propaganda. One guys dinner party "speech" legit lasts 150 pages--all disjointed ranting against socialism. The book is 20 hours I'll regrettably never get back.

trying to convey what happens in a McElroy novel is to have already missed its point. One review of his ''Lookout Cartridge'' (1974) began by saying, ''This is not an easy novel to describe,'' but eventually found the book to be ''the rarest kind of achievement.'' A reviewer of his first novel, ''A Smuggler's Bible'' (1966), while expressing some unhappiness (most episodes ''whimper for fat-removal,'' ''erudition sometimes turns into exhibitionism'' and ''eccentricities of style dwindle into gibberish''), concluded by warning that to overlook ''A Smuggler's Bible'' would be ''as shameful an act of blind self-deprivation as that which so many of us performed when 'The Recognitions' and 'Under the Volcano' were first published.''

Any Marxists who aren't closeted radical centrists social democrats? Any Marxists who don't dismiss the problems with the labour theory of value?

You asking for authors or Anonymous?

I really think we have to break up with Marx. We've accomplished nothing. Obviously, we need to read him and understand his place in the canon, but it's time for a change. I'm tired of social democracy.

not david harvey
I can blaze through a text and understand it, but with literature and philosophy, I don't want to. With philosophy, I don't want to risk a loss in comprehension; and with literature, I don't want beautiful prose to become dull—I like how a well constructed sentence becomes mellifluous when you roll it around in your head and hear it.
I don't want to be a slow reader, but the reasons above hinder my reading speed. Does anybody else have these issues?

Some books deserve to be read quickly, others more slowly.
And other books, not at all.
Just remember, read at the speed in which you're most comfortable with, in any given topic. It's completely fine and often times works out in your favor.
tfw someone, who has never read nor written poetry, asks you to critique a poem they wrote for a class, and then proceeds to take it personally when you provide constructive criticism.

Is becoming a better writer similar to getting a /fit/ body and being a top artist?
I'm going to start reading the same way I do my reps.

Yes, but you're similarly limited by your insertions
So why does anyone take anything he says seriously?

Your satire always fails because the asspain always shines through.
Be more funny and less emotional and you will have greater success. If you're a woman, just stop trying altogether.
