What do you tell them to read, /lit/?
>>
>>8745631
Depends on who he is and what he wants to read. Some books are universal though. Tell him to read The Old Man and the Sea.
>>
>>8745631
Infinite Jest so I have someone that isn't an anon on /lit/ to talk about it with
>>
>>8745639
>Implying it's a "he"
The spooks are strong with you
>>
>>8745631
Depends on what they've read and if they are looking for a particular genre.
>>
Siddhartha or Cannery Row. Both are classics but also easy, accessible reads that won't turn off the average pleb.
>>
>>8745631
catch 22 or herman hesse
>>
>>8745631
My diary, desu.
>>
>>8745724
I usually recommend Cannery Row or Slaughterhouse-Five to nonreader friends who ask me for a good book to read. Both go over pretty well most of the time.

Good call on Siddhartha too.
>>
Trump's son and John Lennon in that photo?
>>
>>8745631
Anything writen by our god, John Green.
>>
>>8745702
Did "you" just assume it(?)'s position regarding the existence of other intelligent beings?
>>
>>8745702
Until English comes up with a gender-indifferent set of pronouns I will default to he, since I am a he.
>>
>>8747268
They don't have gender neutral pronouns? They have such a stupid language. They should be shot for their lack of gender neutral pronouns.
>>
>>8747313
Gender neutral pronouns that aren't retarded. They is generally plural. I guess I could start using xe, xer, xim, ect. but I'd probably be laughed out of this board.
>>
>>8745642
Do you think you could get someone to read through a book that long?
>>
lmaoi why these /lit/ faggots recommend the same things over and over again? Talk about echo chambers. GET FUCKED
>>
>>8745702
you tried too hard
>>
>>8745631
any normie book like Murakami
>>
Something pretentious, then make a comment afterwards saying "heh, you probably wouldn't like it" then offer an alternative.

Alastalon salissa, since there is not a single millennial who would have read it and would like to discuss Kilpi

>>8748437
