Has there ever been a book that was actually "deep", or are they all just pseudo philosophical concepts dressed up in pretty words? Give an example of a "deep" book, i dare you.
Protip: pic related is not "deep"
>>9049702
Philosophy is deep.
What are you on about?
>>9049713
Well yeah. I mean literature
>>9049702
Deep is independent to the reader. Read more.

Give an example of a "deep" book, i dare you.

OP here. I guess we can confirm that literature is bullshit.
>Finnegans Wake
>not deep
OP confirmed for never having read it
>>9049702
But the lyricality of it! My god, it's like Beethoven.
Read this and try to explain what it's about. Go on. I dare you.

Good/close enough for non profit work

>implying anyone reads Finnegans Wake
We have other people to do that for us and then we read their books on Finnegans Wake.

This sort of thread will not lead to any meaningful answers. Clearly it's subjective. If none of the books humanity has to offer is deeply meaningful then it could easily be argued man has never created anything deeply meaningful. The universe is void of meaning and man created meaning, so really what at all can be said to have any meaning. I'm not sure where I'm going with this, fuck you OP.
Someone post the Harry Potter reading order
Define 'deep'
>>9049702
The prefix 'pseudo' really needs to be banned, at least temporarily, on /lit/. It's been misused and abused for far too long now.
>>9050727
Just beat me too it.
Why does everyone put pseudo at the start of shit? Pseudo-intellectual is the worst offence.
>>9050727
Shut up pseud. You need to be banned.
>>9050454
We are not (you).
>>9050479
what a stupid fucking post
>>9049827
I have this one it's great. but mine says $1,95.
>>9049702
you should read more philosophy to get this out of your system. come back to fiction when you're ready
>>9051288
so in other words "there is no deep fiction"
>>9051348
you are reading fiction for ideas and you use the term "deep".
you not ready senpai
>>9049702
Lakes are deep.
Books are thicc.
>>9051365
so, in other words... "fiction is not deep" just say it, my main man
>>9049715
but anon, philosophy is literature. In what form do philosophers discuss their work? Is The Republic for instance not literature?
>>9051457
