>What are some good ways to BTFO dfw and get these plebs off my back?
Read the novel you fucking pseud.
You're worse than your housemates that praise the meme book, because you are disparaging something you know nothing about.

It's not so much that I don't want to read it but there's a bunch of other shit i want to read more and for better reasons. I resent this idea that i absolutely have to read any particular book.

if you have friends that really love a book just read it for them wtf. relating with literature with someone else is awesome

Ok, then don't read the book. But the fact that you are looking for ways to BTFO of DFW without reading DFW shows that you are a disgusting pseud. And I don't even like DFW.

It's trash. Won't change your life. Tell your housemates to stop having shit taste and read fucking Proust.

>I want to discuss literature with them but they refuse to read any of the writers I like
Just don't discuss literature with them at all then. Same as videogames, if someone only wants you to play what they want and will never compromise just don't bother

>>9770595
Tell them to read the books that are alluded to in IJ. Maybe that will get them interested since it has something to do with IJ.

why lie on the internet?

This. Read it then discuss it with them, OP. If you don't like it, that's fine, I'm sure they'll appreciate it, but then you have a foundation to discuss literature with which afterwards you can suggest writers they might like or you could ask what other books they like.

The way you're going about it atm OP is very autistic.

Which authors do you want to discuss you pleb?
