It wasn't the best literary work, it was just the most work put into a piece of literature. Wallace couldn't tell the difference, because he had so many mental issues he sort of just was one single mental issue.

I haven't read it, but looking at a list of new books that year, I'd have to go with DeLillo's Mao II because all the other authors are shit.

American Psycho by #freeMilo

>>8357198
I'm very very very very very very very very very very very very very skeptical anyone born in 1997 has the literary chops to appreciate Mason and Dixon. Most likely you are a memer who has read nothing of the Canon except Camus and Dostoyevsky and then dived right into Pynchon and champion M&D only because /lit/ does.

Into the Wild and Fight Club are my favorites from 1996

>>8357460
>dived
Opinion disregarded.

>>8357479
Jesus Christ, why is /lit/ so youngfag?
I imagine most of you guys as skinnier Harold Blooms with a larger contrarian complex.

>>8357460
M&D is NOT a hard read my friend and doesn't allude to the 'Canon' as much as you think it does.

>>8357495
>M&D is NOT a hard read my friend

Overall M&D is readable and certainly easy compared to Gravity's Rainbow, but anyone who emphatically declares that M&D is not hard *at all* clearly did not read it.

How many times during some scene where everyone is rambling on at some pub did I have to read shit multiple times or look something up. A lot.

>>8357506

Beloved 1988

Am I too old for 4chan? I feel for every normie meme and still ended up a Manchild on 4chan. STEM degree, gf, weightlifting, varsity sports, "going out", etc.

Looks like nothing of particular interest was published in 1989.

>>8357555
the remains of the day you cunt

>>8357460
I would imagine that most 4channers are NEETS so they would have the time to read these memes

>>8357548
>Am I too old for 4chan?
1990 here. there are a lot of mid 20s here. depends on the board though. /mu/ is easily one of the youngest

>>8357570
Never read it, but thanks for the heads up.

No, it's one that's been on my to-read list forever and just haven't got around to it. Never realized it was from 1989, though.

AAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Every FUCKING day with these STUPID fucking MEMES! I've had it up to HERE with stupid fucking memes! You guys make me want to KILL MYSELF! Is that what you fucking want? For me to fucking KILL MYSELF and write on my suicide note "Cause of suicide: Couldn't handle all of the stupid fucking memes, killed myself"? Because that's what it might as well fucking say!

You guys are literally, L I T E R A L L Y incapable of having even the SIMPLEST of fucking discussion without "MEME THIS, MEME THAT, PROBABLY PINECONE BE CHILLIN, HERE'S A PIC OF INFINITE JEST BY DAVID FOSTER WALLACE, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA EBIN AMIRITE?" Fucking STOP IT you pathetic fucking FAGGOTS, you are such fucking cancer that I cannot even fathom how you fucking scumbags live your dumb gay lives. Don't you have a job to get to, schoolwork to finish or a family to attend to? Do you literally do ANYTHING productive with your lives other than post stupid fucking memes on the literature section of a god damn anime imageboard? You fucking people make me sick and you're damn lucky I don't have any of your fucking addresses you fucking pieces of shits. I'd spit in your faces.

>>8357637

>>8357698
I have been meaning to read more DeLillo after White Noise, so I guess this might as well be my next one.

>>8358461
t-thanks, kiddo

>>8358081
I'm not >>8357698 but I want to add that I've also read this novel and it is one of the finest books I've read that was written in my lifetime, far better than Wallace, post-GR Pynchon, etc. etc. I absolutely loved it, and I'm not a huge DeLillo fan (although I enjoyed White Noise and Libra enough to comb through his oeuvre).

How come society views usn as children but still expects us to actn like adults?
Like why do i ha ve to get a job? why can't I just stay in my room eating my chicken tendies and reading david foster wallace, MOM? HUH? WHY CAN'T I JUST EAT MY TENDIES AND READ BIG DAVE
WHY DO I NEED TO WORK
I DIDNT ASK TO BE BIRTHED, YOU FUCKING SOW
THE ONLY TIME I DONT WANT TO DIE IS WHEN IM DISCUISSING LIT WITH MY BROS AND ENJOYING, SAVORING THE IMMACULATE TASTE OF CHICKEN TENDIES
MY ONL,Y RESPITE FROM MY CONSTANTS CONSISTENT PLIGHT IS SLEEPING, READING OR POSTING ON MY FAVORITE BOARDS
I'M NOT MADE TO WORK
I AM NOT A BIOLOGICAL MACHINE PROGRAMED TO DO THE BIDDING OF THE LESSER
I AM PROUD TO BE NEET AND SHALL STAY THAT WAY EVEN IF I HAVE TO LEAVE THIS SUFFOCATING PLACE AND SLEEP UNDER A FUCKING BRIDGE
JUST BURRY MYSELF IN A COCOON A WOMB OF TRASH OF REFUSE AND INCUBATE IN THE FILTH PRODUCED BY THIS DISGUSTING BLOATED SOCIETY
FILTH LIKE ME RIGHT, MOM? NOT LIKE MY BROYTHER NO, HE'S FINE, HES A SHINING BEACON OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A PRODUCTIVE MEMBER OF SOCIETY
