So, /lit/, what do you think is the essential pop-core, the one that comes to your mind when you think of that person you just met who describes himself as a "reader" yet thinks John Williams is a famous hollywood fanfare composer.

But John Williams is a famous Hollywood fanfare composer. Just because he wrote a book about some pothead doesn't negate the other thing

>People saying Pynchon

People might name drop him to seem cool or well read but most don't actually read him. Pynchon is not pop-core. Neither is Delillo, etc.

You people are either dense or just don't get what OP is talking about.

>Palahniuk
>Murakami
>Vonnegut
>Junot Diaz
>Kerouac
>Bukowski

This is Tumblr girl "I read!" pop pleb core.

I still like Murakami and Vonnegut though.

After reading Blood Meridian, I have been kind of shocked at how mainstream a novel it is, especially considering its style and depth.

Do ppl just like it for the gruesome descriptions/violence or what? I just can't imagine the average reader enjoying the really long descriptions of people walking through the desert.
