what are your personal requirements to consider a book being

unread

>>7595733
>"good"
I want a book to make me feel some real emotion or make me think in ways I usually don't.

Something happens on the first page, and things keep happening. That and accessible prose that's not too shallow and not too lofty, that middle ground just right conversational prose like an old, trusted friend is relaying a story.

>>7595733
It must be unintelligible.

>>7595733
It has over 9000 pages.

>>7595742
>>7595746
i like those

It has to have pictures.

>>7595748
>>7595756
why?

>>7595756
>>7595748
These.

I don't have a system because I'm not autistic

it needs credible characters

It has to be a sardonic critique of something.

That's why I only read post Kafka literature.

Really big words that you have to look up in a dictionary

>>7595769
nobody really has. but if you look at the books you like, what's the thing they have in common?

>>7595776

>>7596304

It sucks me into the story, I begin to think like the protagonist.

>>7595769
>tripcode
>not autistic
>free space
Pick 1, but not the third one.

That it not be "bad."

>>7596357
I select the Tripcode, mantle of mine fate

the cover is all that matters

If the author is dead.

>>7595733
it has to be big and heavy enough to break a window

multiple volumes and editions are a plus

like marx's das kapital

>>7596502
roland plz go

>>7595779
Not that anon but . . .

The last thing I looked up was "fine á l'eau", turned out to be the French term for a brandy with water.

The last English word I had to look up was eldritch.

>lit
>so caught up in dismissing the contemporary that they forget about the narrative fallacy.

"What's the thing that the books you've read all had in common?" That he's read them, dumbass. If you stick to a narrow subject thinking you've found the superior genre of literature, you're gonna miss out.

Bloom-sama must approve of it, or at least its author.
