Yo can I get your copy of Lolita, Dorian Gray, and Waiting for Godot? If you're gonna throw em out, I'll take those 3 off your hands.

Very close. Guess again.

>>9573329
Sartre in french, so...switzerland?

>>9573408
Correct.

>>9572987

Throw Kite Runner and Middlesex into the trash.

>>9572987
What's the point of this post? Those are all very good books obviously beyond high school level. Would you like some praise?

damn thats a good education system

i'm canadian, in the whole of my highschool all we read in english was 1984 and heart of darkness

>>9572987
>that Lolita
Is this only the part one?

>>9572987
Not enough classical works, literature went really down the drain after it. Since you are german, I really miss more Goethe and Schiller and there, the two great poets of our country. Heine would have been nice too

>>9575136
No. Also, why praise me when I did not choose said books and did not even read most of them?

>>9575146
It's all of it. The book looks small because the paper is very thin but that's more than 300 pages of dense small writing.

Lolita sure seems to get a lot of attention. I assume it must be popular around here. How come? It's a senseless and boring book about a madman.

>senseless and boring book about a madman

You literally just described about 95% of the /lit/ user base.

>>9575185
You may find it senseless and boring but it's an incredibly popular and influential book, not just here. Why would you question /lit/s liking of it when it has a wide readership?

>>9575208
Justin Bieber is popular too. Does that make his music good?

Popularity does not equate quality. Also, the average person unfortunately is pretty fucking stupid so I only care about my own tastes.

>when I did not choose said books
Where did you go to school? In America HS the required reading is more Gatsby, Mockingbird, Catcher, selected Shakespeare. There is some variation depending on the teacher, but I doubt they would assign Lolita , Kafta, Goethe ect to average 16yr olds

-Fuck ton of literary allusions
-Lavish writing
-Comfy pedo/hebe themes

>>9575225
Ah that makes sense. I'm jealous of your HS lit classes then. You would not believe how stupid the average teenage America is and to what lengths it took to make them read even the most easygoing books. I vividly remember spending over a month on Catcher in the Rye and having the teacher force students to read it in class.

>-Fuck ton of literary allusions
wasted on an illiterate fucker like me
>-Lavish writing
you sure seem to love that

>>9575249
Most of the books you people seem to praise came from my male english teacher. My female teachers in other languages were all pretty bad. When our feminist German teacher took an extended vacation for no reason our English teacher immediately jumped in and went through Goethe's Faust, several Kafka works and other stuff.
