Anything other than Palatino is a literal crime against humanity punishable only by the death of the criminal's entire extended family.

literature is lies

can truths exist in our world of endless subjectivity?

>>9779946
care to expand on that?

>>9779861
faggot

don't do this

I love videogames, but there is no literary value in them. The current paradigm of narrative in videogames is a plague on the industry. The clue is in the name, they're supposed to be games, fun tests of skill, not interactive YA fiction.

>naming your symbiotic parasite

its just a fucking cat you femme

>>9779858
symbiotic parasite it is

you should be made aware of the fact that the evil jewish wizard in the smurfs has a cat named azrael

Anyone that ranks Russian authors and leaves out Lermontov can immediately be discarded.

What are some lesser known or under appreciated works that you would recommend?
Bunin had some really good stuff. How come he's never discussed here?

Man you're not kidding. The film adaptation is a favorite of mine but that book was so shit. Literally nothing: the book.

>>9779820
Yeah man, I really like the film ending...thought this was going to elaborate on it but things just kind of sizzled out.

I like FW but it's no contest. The Bible. The most historically influential and culturally relevant book of all time. Should be required reading for anyone who wants to know something about this world. Also you never know, you might find God while you're at it

Call them fairy tales if you want, but they're fairy tales that shaped this earth as we knew it. Very important fairy tales.

Melville makes me proud to be a Burger more than anything

Melville is a complete anomaly. Nothing before or after him is even comparable.
