What books are actually good. I mean ACTUALLY good. I like Bret Easton ellis, James ellroy, Michel houellebecq, Raymond chandler, Nabokov, among others. I am thinking of reading more sci first but sadly I really do have taste with regard to writing quality. I have read 6 or 7 PKD novels and only liked one, though I am open to more

>almost finished reading brothers Karamazov
>both were tortuous experiences I only went through so the pseudointellectuals would stop insulting me

>think about buying novels I'd like
>realise I have almost no favourite novelists
>realise I mainly read to feel like less of a pleb
>realise a lot of those New Yorker / Oxbridge-esque novelists are cringey nu-male faggots or women - what talent some of them possess is pissed up the wall in their utterly self indulgent styles and politically correct outlook

It really gets the noggin joggin'. As soon as I finish the last 50 pages of brothers Karamazov and then read the republic, I will start actually using my taste.

The Schopenhauer essays remind me of when I read the problems of philosophy after grinding slowly through other boring books (I think it was still Nicholas Nickleby and brothers Karamazov even in January). I found Problems of philosophy a huge pleasure even though I dont have a big interest in its topics.

I don't want to be a pseudo intellectual humanitiesfag who wanks over "the depth of thought of the classics! *knows no maths past high school* *thinks reading about maths / physics / football can actually convey it*." I am literally drowning in bullshit everywhere. The pseudo intellectual zombies demand you submit to the will of the profit seeking academia-media-publishing industrial complex
