I am a literary genius, unironically. Sometimes I feel really bad for you guys when I see you trying to speak about literature and give your sad little shallow interpretations, or when I see the critique thread, because I recognize your aspirations and the insurmountable gulf between you and my overwhelming genius. I really do feel pity. Sometimes I wish I was less of a genius so that I didn't constantly make the people around me feel inferior, but I wonder how I could bear living such a barren and shallow existence. It is often quite lonely being at the top, because no one can keep up with my thought process, no one can truly fathom the depths of my thought -- and this is also a sadness I have.
Anyone have any books for this feel?

Shit prose
lol, thats great for you if your a literary genius. the only thing is, being a literary genius is cuck territory. think about it. you're gonna toil and sweat for years explaining life and articulating intuitions and feelings for everyone, wearing yourself out thinking about all this shit, and when you're done, the book comes out, and everyone who sat on their ass and didnt think about shit and relaxed and just had normal lives are gonna read your books and gain pleasure and understanding and knowledge from them. no thanks.
i love feeling like a brainlet
life is much sweeter

Infinite Jest. The whole book is a way of saying what you just said while trying to look like it's saying the opposite.
Don't feel bad. I, an ordinary person, received happiness enough for a lifetime just from witnessing your genius.

Everyone is a little bit of an asshole. Some people are huge assholes
>Almost any modern "thinker"
I can't get a real job, so let me make up some bullshit that sounds smart and tell people I'm an intellectual god
>Shakespeare
Lots of people dying for stupid fucking reasons or because they are complete drooling idiots
>Moby Dick
Hundreds of pages just to get to a pussy killing a useless fucking whale
>1984
Wow government fucking sucks
>War and Peace
Title is self explanatory
>The fucking Greeks
Old as shit generalizations no one cares about

The list goes on and on. What'd you think?
