ITT: pleb fiction you unironically enjoy
>>
>>7855294
Bernard Cornwell

inbox people posting great authors and saying they're pleb.
>>
Stephen King. And Richard Laymon even though he isn't even a good pop fiction author as King but just bad. Entertaining though.

Sooo whats wrong wth stephen king?
I've just started reading the dark tower, dont read a lot apart from business and exercise books (PT), im like 30 pages in and it seems good, interested in the world n shit
>>
>>7855469

That's one of his better ones, but Stephen King is capable of being a hack and also /lit/ doesn't like literature purely meant for just story and sensationalism. Cause >muh patrician.
>>
Ellen Hopkin's Crank trilogy, along with Burned and its sequel.

I don't come to /lit/ much so I bet you'd all think she's some Reddit-tier author.

Is Haruki Murakami pleb?
He's really popular but his stuff is a bit beyond most of the other stuff ITT.
>>
>>7855294
i think its time to put "unironically" to bed

Dostoevsky can be quite entertaining.

The Bible

>>7855752
Thanks, I guess?
>>7855753
Good, non-pleb literature can still be entertaining.

The Koran

Reading his work in high school doesn't make him super serious patrician literature, kiddo.
>>
>>7855294
Victor E. Frankl
>>
>>7855744
I would consider Murakami barely not pleb.
I don't really like what he does, but he's far from the worst
>>
If I enjoy it then it isn't pleb fiction. Plebs just can't comprehend it.
>>
>>7855855

/lit/

I enjoyed those Hillary Mantel books about Thomas Cromwell that everyone has seemingly read. The prose was fucking great. They won Man Booker prizes so idk if they'd even be considered 'pleb.'
>>
Clive Barker
>>
>>7855768

>>
Neil Gaiman.
I really loved American Gods for what it was, it's not flawless but I like him
>>
Dune, though the last time I properly read it was when I was 15. I thought it was pretty dope. 2bh if the characters weren't as lacking in depth and his prose was just a bit better, it would probably be considered a /lit/erary sci-fi classic up there with le Guin, PKD and Gene Wolfe.

It's also a blast to read while high.

DUDE THE SPICE LMAO

>>7856609
God damn I just spit all my coffee. Reading that. Also, I rememeber people calling game of thrones Dune minus space.

Crappy fiction made in a soviet bloc: Metro-2033, Witcher series, Night-Day watch, etc.

I don't know why, I enjoy them though.
