Kazuo Ishiguro's 'Never Let Me Go'. An achievement.

>>9256092
Please no

Harry Potter, John Green's books, my diary and that female poet you lot like

>>9256064
Hey, do those editions actually exist? I think they're beautiful

>>9256114

I'm not OP. Yes, they do exist. And they actually happen to be one of the worst selling lines of classic reprints to date. Why? Because buyers don't want cloth-bound hardbacks. There's a perishability in cloth that is at odds with the idea of a hardback.

>>9256129
Well, I like cloth-bound hardbacks, so give em to me. Seriously, anyone wanna send me his beautiful Penguin classics by post?

>>9256064
Infinite Jest

Everything by Calvino

>>9256299

or Bolaño. Or Saramago.

But those are easy picks.

>>9256137
The designs are of such low quality that they'll be scatched off before you take the books home. Do not buy, my friend

>>9256307
Same with McCarthy.

>>9256137
>>9256114
Don't buy them, they're cheap. The design scratches off very easily, and the bookmark fell out on the first day

>>9256137
Those hardbacks are travesty for not including the traditional designs. They look cringeworthy AF.

Life of Pi imo

Infinite Jest as well

people will say "well its not amazing but its a very good representation of [some post-internet 21st century yuppie bullshit]"

fifty shades of grey

>>9257036
this post implies you actually read that shit

cringe

>>9256967
>Life of Pi imo

The first half is quite decent even if the prose is a bit obnoxious, and the message is plain stupid. The second part were he eats tiger shit and punches a shark, or that stupid carnivore island is quite retarded. I don't think it's 100% shit, but it's pretty poor.

>>9258475
What was the point of the book except for Pi realizing that tigers actually eat people?

>>9256209
The popomos in general tbqh. Unfortunately.
IJ will be either seen like Hunger or like Ulysses for popomo. Probably the former.

>>9256299
If on a winter's night a traveler is so comfy

>>9256064
It's going to be the Harry Potter equivalent or some complete obscurity nobody hasn't even heard about yet.
Listened to a podcast(don't remember what and cant find it) where somebody argued this is what history tells about the predictions like these.

I hope every single piece of (((literature))) that mentions anything electronic, modern past 1910, or relevant to our lives today gets destroyed in a massive fire.

God fucking 4th Reich when.

I'm hoping published collections of tweets take off in a big way. I've got a fair bit invested in the idea.

Would be ten times better desu.

How can none of you uneducated swines list that one? The Godfather is basically a Dostoevsky novel light.

Internet culture in general eill be seen as abstract art in 70-80 years.
I hope to god some shit like this really does happen not like modern art coming out today id anymore interesting after all.

house of leaves, by Mark Z Danielewski

>>9260561
This book is unadulterated garbage. Puzo has zero literary merit and will only be remembered as a footnote in the history of cinema.

Dunno why it's not talked about more

Literally Harry Potter. The first book was published 20 years ago and it still dominates popular culture. You will never hear the end of it.

>>9256064
I hate these editions

Who thought they were a good idea?
