Perhaps, but season 1 Effy inspires the most erotic short stories.

I saw like two episodes of this shit show but I remember seeing this kid and his taste in music/movies/books summed with the fact he's the cool hot one and you could just visualize the sad, balding, 45 year old screenwriter trying to validate his lifestyle and tastes through that character

>>7745154
by /lit/ you mean completely devoid of personality other than what he thinks he should emulate to be perceived as sophisticated/intelligent/well read/wise etc? if so then yeah.

>>7745196
He's pretty much like that throughout the entire first season, then something happens in the finale that completely changes his character for the second season.

>>7745196
That's what's great about the show though. To start with you're thinking, "Oh great look at this screenwriter's idea of a 'cool guy', who I'm supposed to like. But I don't, I think he's a prick". But then you realise that actually the screenwriter thinks he's a prick too.

>implying it isn't AJ "Nitch" Soprano

I want /tv/ to go

>I live vicariously through the fictional lives of irritating British teenagers

>>7745154
but /lit/ are virgins (not saying that being a viirgin is bad thing tho, women arent worth damn)

>>7745196
That's some heavy shit right there
But on the other hand, isn't that the whole point of these stupid teenage shows? For the characters to serve as some sort of alter ego for the viewers who's lives are not scripted with all these exciting, emotion provoking experiences?

completely wrong

>>7745196
I thought he was supposed to be a hateable psychopath

>>7745581
He's reading Atlas Shrugged in that picture senpai, cover looks the same as mine. Just makes me like him if i'm honest.

what show?

>it's a "writer tries to implement cultural preferences into sect of society that would never really come into contact with them" episode

I'm so sick of this shit.

Particularly when they write black, ghetto characters making quirky cultural references that only white nerds would get. It's the new blackface.

>>7745600

Are you fucking retarded? Did you even watch Mad Men? Throughout the entire series Pete is a character that is always a step ahead of the others when it comes to 'new' things. Don mentions this explicitly when he tries to get Pete to come with him when they make the new agency.

I'm not saying Pete is the 'type' that would love this book or the audience Pynchon is aiming for, but I'm not surprised at all that this would have been a book he heard buzz about and is checking it out.

>>7745807
I don't think you know what you're talking about. There was plenty of talk about Pynchon when V. and CL49 came out in critical reviews and journals and among the counterculture in general. There are plenty of pieces of writing and even interviews and documentaries about Pynchon explaining this.

You just sound like a shitposter though.

Brian from Family Guy, unfortunately

>>7745170
You can't give a blowjob with your mouth closed. What a retarded poseur cunt!

>>7745600
Well Pete was a beginner writer, he was pissed when Ken published that story and started writing his own.

>>7745154
>that spine
;_;

>>7745896
Don't burst his bubble. If he finds out that his precious book isn't obscure at all, you'll shatter his dreams

>>7745603
>dumb char on a shit show reads a shit book
perfection. emmy nom right there. totally not a soap

>>7745201
I really liked Tony. Said finale event made me sad :(

that book went missing after filming

>>7746442
worse than gore. report submitted. eyes bleached. kill all white people petition made.

>>7745807
Why do retards pretend that Pynchon has always been obscure insofar as they are the only one's that have heard of him.

>>7746474
it's just a body mod, be a little more chill and open minded bro :)

>>7746442
Eating and drinking must be hard for him.
Also, two tongues?

>>7746442
That looks cool

>>7745931
it looks like he is holding two different books

>>7745600
you probably just need to stop watching bad shows

>>7745154
Hoult is my husbando

most people would be glad to see a nod to one of their favorite authors in a show but not /lit/

oh god but anon, that wasn't the intention of the post! it wasn't meant to be an endorsement of mad men at all!

i can't believe it inadvertently lead you to a different conclusion, like boy is my face red right now

>Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre is an assigned author in many schools in France. It isn't “patrician” to read it and you should rather pick a book instead of wasting hours in front of a TV show to wank over a fictional character more well-read than you are.

>>7748780
This, her book challenge is super hard. Tons of obscure classics and fem /lit/ mixed.

>>7749684
Some real shit too:

>The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
>The Five People You Meet in Heaven
>Girl, Interrupted
>The Godfather: Book 1
>A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
>Life of Pi

A girl reading at her level can be excused for reading trash sometimes, just like some of the "patricians" around here make excuses for Gene Wolfe and Bakkar

>Cousin Bette by Honor’e de Balzac
>Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol
>The Fall of the Athenian Empire by Donald Kagan
>The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels
>The Last Empire: Essays 1992-2000 by Gore Vidal
>My Lai 4: A Report on the Massacre and It’s Aftermath by Seymour M. Hersh
>Being read by a teenage girl

Sometimes I think some male writer on that show was /lit/ and was creating a waifu

>>7749697
>life of pi
you shut your mouth

>>7749722
life of pi is god-awful
