Which book would YOU give a girl who you were keen on?

Depends what she's like.
And also I wouldn't.

Stefan George
Baudelaire
Rilke
the holy trinity

>>8775529
early bird get that worm

Harry Potter

>>8775529
It would depend on the person's taste wouldn't it

That said I once gave a girl a copy of Great Expectations

>>8775593
And /r9k/ wonders why they're still virgins despite their mothers telling them how handsome they are.

>>8775544
This guy gets it. But you would have to suffer falsely praising JK Rowling.

I recently gave this girl I liked my copy of The Pale King. She seemed to like it. I'm mentally unsound so after giving it to her I thought she might think I was trying to attack her by giving her this giant unfinished book and expecting her to read it and question her about it and get offended if she didn't read or like it. I then also panicked because I never actually finished the book and am afraid she will ask me questions or want to talk about it and I will have no idea. But this isn't my personal blog, so I will just keep the echo chamber alive and say you should give a girl you like a Murakami book.

It's stupid, if you want to win a woman's affections hit the gym.

>>8775529
I wouldn't give her a book. Instead I'd remind myself that I'm a miserable person and any good that would come out of our interaction would be offset by the bad I'd bring to her.

I think it's obvious OP is asking about a situation like:

>Hey, anon, you seem to know books pretty well. Could you recommend something for me? :-)

>>8776278
But you won't get her affection this way, like the other anon implied.

>>8775585
Damn, I'm moisty already.

>>8775964
Even if it is an echo chamber, Murakami is a great gift for impressing 90% of people, not just somebody you have a crush on.

>critically acclaimed
>not widely known outside of lit readers/english majors
>generally good
>easily relatable
>easy to read

Otherwise I'd go with Jane Austen bc her books are very romantic. We are all repressed homosexuals for Mr. Darcy.

>>8775529
my diary desu

>>8775529
I'd write one for her. A real good one. Short, but memorable - kind of like my dick, haha. My goals would be to make her wet and convinced of my profundity. And explore sex acts and ideas we're too shy to talk about, so we can then do them with greater ease. Ooh. Ooh yeah. Gonna write this NOW.

>>8776355
Nice. Epic idea. Here's an opening line that just crossed my mind, use it if you like.

>"Only one person remained; two, if you counted you."

>>8775529
Gave a bonnie lass I was keen on Rilke's "Book of Hours" and now we've been dating for almost a year.

I gave an platonic female friend of mine Stoner for birthday, and she read it and called me at 4 am the week later, asking me if I wanted to come over for some wine and talk about the book.

The Great Gatsby

1) Shows I have at least decent taste, which is the most important part.

2) Short enough that she may actually read it.

3) It's about looooove.

>>8776290

why not both?

why cant you be generous in gifting while also making yourself more physically desirable?

do you clowns seriously think that a body is the only thing women want? and even if theyre that vain, youre already fucked if your face isnt aesthetic.

>>8776439
I don't think wanting someone physically fit is shallow at all. Or it is just as shallow to want someone because of the same taste in books.

this summer i gave fear and trembling by kierkegaard and a collection of short stories by leo tolstoy (specifically telling her to read kreutzer sonata and ivan ilych) to a girl i was romantically interested in. she gave me a biography of edgar cayce in return. i liked her because she was into christian mysticism and tolstoyan anarchism like i am

That's too easy: a box set containing The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, 120 Days of Sodom, An Introduction to Kabbalah, De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii, and "A" By Zukofsky. She'll be thinking my way in no time.

You like them jewesess or something?

The Consumer by Michael Gira

>>8776734
Jew girls always have huge breasts.

>>8775529
I gave her The Great Cryptogram because she loves Ulysses and Shakespeare. Also we've had a running joke about the authorship question for years. Worked for me, got laid a week later.

>>8776788
You're telling me. I have a huge jewess fetish. They're supposedly crazy in bed, too. How does one woo one?

>>8776814
Be rich and have rich parents, no memeing. Jew girls hunt only for those qualities

>>8776821
I figured. I guess that rules me out :^(

Hopefully I'll become a writer one day and have earned sufficient income so that I would be worthy enough for one.

One of my male Jew friends told me that they like smart guys, too

it is natural for men like you to crave the validation of their existence and get depressed if they fail to feel relevant, responsible, dutiful.
The best way for a man to cater his need for approval is to serve some woman (and some of her children) through emotional&financial support, which he sees as ''a childish useless submissive woman'' [or whore and he feels betrayed by her]
Men are pleased to contribute to someone else life, to support their family.

Why women are a good way to feel relevant? Because women love to be provided for and each woman will always find a man ready to please her.
[for most men, the best feeling of feeling real is when the girl moans from your cock in her pussy, or for the most impotent, their tongue in the pussy]

THe problem for men is that they are disposable in the eyes of each woman, since all men wish to serve the few women who talk to them.
Men must thus invent several ways to please women, invention and creativity which strengthen their feeling of being worthy, relevant, in touch with reality.
Men are too impotent to find other way to feel real.
Once that the a woman replaces a man by another provider, the man gets very upset and depressed.
THis leads men to think that they are better than women, stronger, smarter and that they must built a life outside women. Some men manage to indeed built an empire, but they will always loose it for some women.
Women give meaning to men and betas, no matter how successful outside women, will always give up everything for some relationship with some woman who claim to fancy them.

her and i are friends. she texts me sometimes, mostly her first. we talk about God and we catch up on life. she had a boyfriend before i met her, i let her know how i feel, she felt the same way but she's already with someone.

that being said, i know her boyfriend is not the right fit for her, because she's even told me. it's mostly because he's an atheist and she is a christian, so she's not able to talk to him about the centermost part of her being without him getting defensive and/or changing the subject, and that is a problem. she recognizes her relationship with his is surface-only and that gives no real connection to someone as deep as her.

>>8780140
Meanwhile, her 'surface-level only' bf is penetrating her as we speak. A girlfriend is not supposed to be your friend dumbass, wake up, it is a power relation and you as a man is supposed to be the active, dominant side.

he hasn't seen her in months. your redpill ideology is for manchildren. a real "alpha" seeks meaningful friendships, not sexual relationships. i'm beyond the world's temporal pleasures, they are nothing to me. lust is a fool's pursuit.

how miserable you must be, following sensual pleasure! do you feel empty inside anon?

i would give her zweig's "fear" but she has a bf and the story ends with the woman getting caught after cheating on her husband so i would give something else so as to not discourage her in case she considers sinning -with me- in close future, even though it is as plausible as a dream.

>tfw meet an "erudite" (and also mildly autistic and introverted) girl and get along very well
>finally understand what it is like to be wanted by someone -or think so-
>two -or one and a half- weeks later find out she has a bf
>she still continues her affection for you for a month or so and while this attitude makes you very happy when you are with her you sunk lower and lower when you part ways
>eventually her affection ends and it turns (or is turning) into just a regular friendship (which was probably what it was all along and you just misread everything)

why did nobody warn me feeling wanted -emotionally- feels so good and when it is gone you feel shittier than before?

>>8780181
haven't you heard the countless songs about it?

She is saving herself, right?

>>8780175
I'm not a /pol/ shill, but your pathetic attitude of trying to befriend a woman and then making her your gf is backwards. The connection comes after you turn her into your gf, and you do that by being a fucking man.

>>8780175
>i'm beyond the world's temporal pleasures
kek, she certainly won't be, prepare yourself to be a cuckold.

>>8780209
romantic relationships tend to start off based on lust. besides, after the first time we hung out, i told her "i love you, let's never speak again" because we were talking about the concept of romance and how paradoxical it is (hence the kreutzer sonata i gave her). anyway, she told me she didn't want to never speak to me again

>>8780217
she as a christian mystic has the same attitude toward the world's fleeting pleasure

>>8780198
who cares. not every relationship has everything to do with sex

alright, i've had enough of being trolled, i have a life to attend to now

>>8780242
Don't listen to fags, best of luck

>>8780192
i guess i haven't, or i did, but it is like hearing "you are going to die". all the times you hear it, it is meaningless and empty, but only when you see it for yourself it becomes a serious issue

>>8780242
>who cares.
God.

I thought you said she was a Christian? I'm not trolling, I'm just worried you're kidding yourself regarding her real beliefs if she is consistently, deliberately and systematically sinning.
