slide a piece of paper labeled with a word with that retarded cousin of a phoneme occurring more than once in it to speakers of latin-based languages from different places and you won't find a coherent sound among them

I've read "Things: A Story of the Sixties" but I wasn't impressed. Or not as impressed as someone who recommended it to me was.

Americans are unable to compete with the Russians and the French. They aren't even in the same tier. Its like comparing an Ivy League school with a community college.
>>8844075
There's 4 like right in his fucking name, stop it already
>books with a dumb gimmick
>>8844075
If his name is Georges Perec then wouldn't it be on the cover? Therefore defeating his own goal of writing a novel without using the word "e".

That's called lipogram and has been done since the greeks, you idiot. It's not a new thing.
I'd say David Bellos who translated it into English could probably compete. Thats got to be at least 9000 times harder.

Thanks, I usually rate my books based on number of e's in them. This will only be like no. 5 tho cause this hack still had a bunch of them on the cover.

>European does something kind of gimmicky, but still cool
>Therefore, every European (including OP) is better than every American
Am I missing anything?

You forgot to add the mellow crackle of cheeto dust when pressing the enter button, the feeble creaking of an overstrained office chair, followed by a self-contended grunt.
>>8844075
Pretty sure the Chinese have about 2 billion people who writes shit all the time without ever using the letter E.
Not much of an accomplishment.
>>8844358
That's precisely what makes it so beautiful.
>>8848026
You gotta stop with all this projection, bruv.
Speaking of Perec, are any of his books legitimately good?
Is Life worth reading?
