It's an incredibly overrated book. But yeah, the title is bad too; or at least the title is bad nowadays. Not sure how long the word "stoner" has meant what it does now.

>>9101127
>can't bother even to read the title with her own eyes
>assumes immediately after it is spoken that it is a word rather than a name

Sounds like you dodged a bullet on that occasion.

Also, "intellectualism" is another word for "priestly," stop using this

>>9101137
Priestliness, rather

That's why you always pretend it's only the shortened version of one of those really long old titles.

It's a great book. Great. Not overrated at all. Seeing the few /lit/ regulars post the book cover a lot doesn't mean it's overrated. There's a world outside /lit/ memes and your computer, you know?

>>9103670
They didn't write it like that and it was used as an imperative.

>>9101260
"Gay Science" would be funnier. Like some kind of queer studies.

>>9102337
No. The beginning of Portrait captures what it's like as a child, the opener being a nursery rhyme. Read it anon. Do not disregard Joyce.

>>9103670
I'm aware of this. Not sure what I said made you believe that I think this book is overrated based solely on what I've seen on /lit/.

Put a bit of an accent on it, like "Stoner".

>>9102097
He's writing it from the perspective of a 7 year old because the book is a semi-autobiographical novel about his own youth. The book gradually matures as he ages in it.

>>9102012
