What books does your cute, sensitive, artistic girlfriend read /lit/?

>>8323328
Women are worthless and can't appreciate art because they are borderline braindead.

They are worthless whores and anyone who claims they have an artistic gf on here is a feminist posing as a man

She is a horrible woman, a mediocre mother.

>>8323400
Women do nothing but hold back men from greatness.

>>8323395
I have tried again and again, for numerous years, to educate my mother and encourage her to become adequately self-aware, though my attempts have all been in vain. I have bought her books, musical albums, intelligent and thought-provoking movies, but she has reacted to them all with the stolid gaze native to her gender. I watched "Synecdoche, New York" with her only last month and was forced to bar the living the room door so that she would be forced to watch the entire film. When I demanded to know what her impression was of what is undoubtedly a contemporary cinematic masterpiece she simply looked at me with a worried expression, probably suspecting that I possessed the same brutish, violent instincts as the men she has been acquainted with thus far in her life. She is, in short, a lost cause. I no longer feel any compulsion to try and instill those traits and values in her character which make my own character so complex and profound. This is partly the reason I feel no guilt or shame over the fact that she works full-time while I have opted not to, as I know with certainty that without some form of employment to take up the majority of her day she would wither away and become severely depressed due to the fact she would be forced to confront a fact I myself confronted long ago, namely that existence is a pitiable and meaningless thing to be avoided at best, ridiculed at a minimum.

I'm sorry that this is the case, and I understand your worldview as a result. I have met vile women, but I also have met women that are amazing and entirely a different breed than myself, my own mother included. I would not wish it upon you two that you would deprive yourselves of the opportunity to appreciate the woman, this potentially magnificent 'other' that we can never fully comprehend.

ugh

theres a girl i have been romantically involved with for four years now

when i first met her i thought she was the artsiest thing ever. a real muse.

the more i got to know her, the more psuedo-artistic she became. her honest self, i have learned, is not artistic whatsoever and she probably has the worst taste ever

she steals opinions from internet social media scenes and will without doubt spout the cringiest opinions on something she doesn't know anything about if someone she thinks is attractive or ~cool~ has that opinion

so fucking stupid

She's currently reading Steven King's The Stand
Before that, she read One Hundred Years of Solitude in the original Spanish, and wants my copy of Infinite Jest after I'm done with it.

I'll never be able to share my life with anyone decent.

Well, unless I manage to get employed in the academia and do well, but it'll be a bit late then - my mental illness took away ...quite a lot of time.

I definitely don't think this is true. Sounds like something writers/artists make up because it sounds poetic.
Real life seems more like she'd be a 30+ meth addict who asks you just to get it over with as quick as possible.

I also like her poetry more than his, although it's very different from his so it's hard to make a comparison. Granted I have only read DGR's poems that are in anthologies, while I've read Christina's complete poetry, so perhaps my opinion does not count for much.

>>8324569
I can't say hi since I only see him in the office where he works but there's no reason to go talk to him.

once I asked him to help me find some paper for the printer but he just helped me and sat back down. when we pass in the hallway he looks at me with this really intense expression but neither of us says anything except 'thanks' sometimes. i don't know if he's been bullied in the past, if his girlfriend split up with him, or what? it's frustrating because he's really cute and exactly my type but it's like there's this coldness about him that i find really intimidating.

>>8324562
Say "hi", ask him what he's reading.
Most importantly, drive the conversation. You're catching him off-guard and he's obviously introverted and not going to just jump right into a game of conversation ping-pong. Have at least a general idea of where to take the conversation after asking about his book

>>8324582
Say "Hi I think you're cute but I'm not sure how to start a conversation with you. Let's talk about books".

nah, other boards only think we're sjw because they don't read what we recommend them.

/lit/ doesn't hate or like either gender or side of the political spectrum; it thinks most humans are shit.
e.g. every "schopenhauer on women redpilled me" thread from /pol/ gets met with "you mean the one where schopenhauer says all the achievements of men are vanity which women rightly laugh at?". it's not because we like women, it's because men need to know they're shit too. we're not going to hugbox the men while shitting a stream as prolific as her writing down JCO's throat. that might fool idiots into thinking they're more worthwhile than her, when we spend far more time trolling her twitter.

You are literally describing me and , presumably, my ""type"". Girls have gotten to know me and after we've become friends told me I'm that way.

If he's anything like me there is a huge distance between him an everyone else. Not a wall, just an empty space. He might not be very empathetic, he doesn't ""need"" to socialize or isn't interested in what people have to offer.
It takes time to cross that distance, but there might not be an emotional wall for you to deal with, and if he is like me, he might be open to the idea of dating you because why not.

What you should do is talk to him. Don't even have a reason, just talk to him. Make a habit of it. Push the friendship onto him a little bit. It will be difficult to tell if he likes you, but easy to tell if he doesn't. Then one day you'll see that you've progressed across his distance from people because he'll do something seemingly out of character around you

Plato is pretty left-wing tho, he literally argues against private property. He can be seen as a totalitarian or something, but definitely a left-wing one. Left =/= american liberals.

>>8324643

And I love it when we do. The Second sex should be obligatory /lit/ philosophy starter package. Disagree, agree, w/e - it's phenomenally well-written.

>>8324658
>left wing supports kings
okay, I know that robespierre could be seen as a philosopher king, but i don't think it's what the leftists were actually aiming for with the revolution.
>american liberals
of course not, it refers to actual liberals. things like freedom of speech are leftist ideals, even though in america that can make you sound like a republican or whatever.
plato's argument against private property is because he's arguing everything is state property, and administered by the elite is for the best of their lessers. it's where the roman fasicsts and stoics got the ideal of state duty from. left is antihierarchy, even though nietzsche obviously btfo of any argument that hierarchy knows left or right since it's blind to everything but power and plato is prohierachy and order and looking for a masterrace.

Oh yeah, and what would that be?

>>8324696
passivity is learned behaviour (you learnt to not say "no"); women shouldn't be allowed to be just a womb because too many would choose it (get a job and stop having kids like a welfare mother); there is no essential femininity, it's bullshit you made up and women are more prone to learning self serving bullshit in her learned experience.
course, she also didn't want to be associated with feminists at the time.

>>8324719
>passivity is learned behaviour (you learnt to not say "no"); women shouldn't be allowed to be just a womb because too many would choose it (get a job and stop having kids like a welfare mother);
This sounds exactly like feminism, rather. (However you might get your idea about feminism from american teenage girls personal tumblr pages like most 4channers)
Third thing I don't understand what you mean.

>>8324723
when she says you learnt to not say no, the implication is that it's your fault for learning dumb shit. so when you have the "some women freeze up and can't say no in the moment" view of rape, beauvoir says "well, i guess you should have worn clothes that were harder to get off and taken taekwondo if you didn't want to be raped". most feminists don't say that.
>stop having kids like a welfare mother
>welfare mother
read as "wife" or any women who takes time off from a job because she has kids, or works less hours after having kids. if a woman doesn't transcend her children to be productive, she's choosing to subjugate herself and other women helping her wouldn't help her transcend anyway.
she doesn't believe in women helping other women because they're subjugated because they choose to be that way: they prefer the easy ride of no power and no transcendence. they're basically lower than hikkis as a broad gender in her view.

>>8324735
>the implication is that it's your fault
That's really not the implication at all.

>>8324681
Well, I view "leftism" as less of a whole package, a more loose set of criteria that don't all have to be met. Stalinism is leftism, but so are many forms of anarchism. I'm using a 20th century way of understanding it, so being against or for capitalism or market economy is important in which one I'll classify you.

But eh I'll recognize that Plato is a bit of a hard one to classify, especially since back in his day, things were different (maybe I'm being silly by going around calling Plato an anti-capitalist). I'd still go with something like authoritarian left.

>>8324741
well, if you view greed as a bad thing and the source of your immanence, like beauvoir does, it doesn't really matter that "men wrote history", the implication is you chose passivity because you thought it paid off, and when it doesn't, you greedily demand more, like men to not respond to the contrived history you have chosen as they always have in the narrative you have chosen.

see also: her views on feminine mystique from makeup though more feminists agree with that conclusion.

Patrick Leigh Fermor, Proust, Woolf, Robert Walser, Han Shan and Saigyo are her favorite authors.

She's reading A Ballad For George Henig by Victor Paskow right now.

>>8324742
Stalin is about as leftist as Hitler. Most everyone uses it as an idiosyncratic term, but it's a bit rich calling me out for using the classic meaning when you're using your own idiosyncratic version as though I meant "US leftist". US leftists are probably about as left as Hitler too.

Plato is pretty right wing for his day, but the reasons for it are generally problems with democracy at the time. While he doesn't want private property, in Athens that wasn't shocking at all, and his views on it are pretty mainstream in classical democracy. Athens didn't always live up to that ideal, but it's why they have so many public works conserved because they threw all their money at buildings and public statues and plays to show status since they couldn't wear fancy clothes. But, the idea of a ruling elite was very different, and attacking a problem in Athenian democracy at the time: every citizen not only could, but had to, vote. The modern equivalent of that is Australia, so you can see how it was a bad idea to ask for everyone's opinion. Plato writes a lot against rhetoric because it's a problem when everyone votes because they vote for dumb shit which a liar told them would have no consequences and believe him when he says he's not taking bribes.

>>8324761
You simply fabricated this list to make me envious. I'm not stupid.

>>8324761
>Proust, Woolf,
dude she's gonna rape you and leave you

>>8324777
>Stalin is about as leftist as Hitler.
I'd disagree. Stalinism was a result of actually trying to arrange society in a radically different way (obviously ending up a perversion and a failure of the original, though still definitely different), Hitler/nazism was more like a conservative revolution (as paradoxical as that may sound).

Sorry for the US liberal thing - it was a mistake.

>the classic meaning
It is pretty far away from how the words are generally used, not that this is wrong, but lets just say that for any serious discussion, the terms left/right must be defined first - there is no one set meaning - and the definitions differ quite radically, generally adjusting for the current political landscape (so a right-winger in one part of the world would be considered a moderate leftist in another). So indeed I was silly to begin without making an effort at first explaining what I mean by left.
My capitalism vs anti-capitalism as the most important thing- definition at least used to be common, but I suppose nowadays no one is really against capitalism, so I am outdated.

>>8324810
>Stalin v Hitler
I refer you back to the Nietzsche reference >>8324681. You're trying to pretend that the communist utopia was going to be terribly different to the nazi utopia: it wasn't, they're both socialist utopias. Nazis were using the same mythicism that Stalin was using to bring about their utopia, believed in full employment and workers rights and all that shit. Stalin hated Trotsky precisely because communism in one country would be called national socialism by him and his ilk, which is a very justified thing to call it. He's against most of the traditional leftist ideals, in the same way that Robespierre is during his sojourn into power. Stalin was just more successful at holding on to that power with very antileft processes than Robespierre and Hitler; it doesn't make his policy on press or Jews that much different.
>no one is against capitalism
Yeah, not even Marx, since he thinks it's not stopping til the end of history when communism might happen. Stalin didn't think he could get rid of capital by not engaging in capitalism; he thought he could speed up the end of capitalism by bringing about the end of history through capital redistribution.

I'm a girl but I don't think I'm sensitive. My boyfriend's probably ten times more sensitive than me, why do people asume women are sensitive?

I've read Marx and Beauvoir and I'm still /pol/ as fuck.

>>8327300
That's because you're a moron.

Whatever makes it easier for you to be an ideologue and avoid having actual conversation, anon.

this. and I wish all of you the best; the girl, her crush, and the explanation-poster.

If you'd read Marx or Beauvoir, you could easily point out the reasons why most lefties don't often read either.
>tfw feminists rec u beauvoir and you lay that heideggerian authenticity on them

There's a cute girl I take the train every day with who keep reading stuff on Roman empire. I spotted several books in her bag, and assuming she only read on train, she's a pretty fast reader as far as I can tell. She's also working in finance so it could definitely be a master-tier match.

>>8327933
Where abouts?

>>8324627
Probably because most people who read, sadly, are ran through the laundry mangle that is 21st century academia which is monopolized by left wingers who drone endlessly on "intersectionality," "white privilege," and soft science bullshit. You don't know what isolation feels like until you're someone whose main hobby is reading about history, art, and philosophy but you're not a mindless left-wing milquetoast.

Explain why you're more knowledgeable or intelligent than all of academia across the world.

>>8323411
This copypasta you nitwits.

you got sensitive right but thats about fucking it. she use to be cute at one point, i think if i remember correctly. anyhow she reads normie YA novel shit and whatever people on pinterest or FB tell her to read.

I'm glad I don't have a choice, because if I were taller I'd have to avoid relationships.

>/lit/ leans left

I don't buy that. After the literal communists were slowly driven out all that remained were moderates and conservatives. And our friendly visitors from /pol/. I think most people here believe in legal equality and personal freedom, but that's not what "leaning left" means in 2016. At least not for 18-25 year olds. When I think of "liberalism" today I don't think of it in the classical sense, I think of things like privilege checking, refugees welcome, unironically believing in the "pay gap", supporting BLM, stuff like that. Even the /lit/ commies hated that social stuff, they thought it was a capitalist plot to divide the revolution.

Would anyone on /lit/ seriously complain about "Islamophobia?" I doubt it. Maybe in response to /pol/ hyperbole I guess. I haven't talked to anyone on 4chan who was happy about the migrant invasion except for one deranged German who thought they were going to pay his pension.

>like anyone who actually reads does

I mean when you're actually reading do you say to yourself, "hmm I've been reading too many white men lately," or "hmm I should be working longer hours and paying more tax so that the government can provide programs for [insert poor minority here]"

>>8329374
But all those people with their privilege checking and whatnot are leftists, usually social democrats and such, not liberals

>>8329374

>implying /lit/ cares about politics outside books
other media have trashed you ability to appreciate stories. you wouldn't accept that many neologisms from the first three pages of an anthony burgess book, or gene wolf, if one is so inclined. nadsat is for teenagers.

>>8323328
She just harangues me about being a cuck.

>>8329408
/pol/ so jelly rn

>>8329384

When people today use the term "liberal" they usually mean socially "progressive" with an implication of left leaning economic positions.

I know that the original liberals wanted a free, liberalized economy, and a desire for personal freedom. Liberal as in generous or loose. Maybe some people here want to live in a welfare state, and I hope most people here believe in legal equality between the sexes and between ethnic groups, but I wouldn't describe /lit/ as "left leaning."

There seems to have been some sort of unholy alliance between trade-unionists and social progressives that has poisoned the left beyond any recognition of what it was one hundred years ago.
