>>9929393
Keep Kafka, Garcia Marquez, and Morrison and dump the rest.
>>
>Aziz wrote a book
>was published
>someone bought it
Thanks, white guilt.
>>
>>9929393
How come you have Esquivel in spanish but GarcĂ­a Marquez in english?
>>
This is the most normie contemporary stack I have seen on this board. Trash everything except the Garcia, DFW and maybe Diaz.
>>
>>9929435
>a recognizable comedian has an easy time getting a publisher
This is an outrage when was this allowed to happen
>>
>>9929435
I'm surprised that he's ever read a book much less written one.

>>
>>9929630
I actually enjoyed it. The drawings were nice and the story was really interesting.
>>
hah, arsepolice
only FINNIGGAS will get THIS joke!
>>
This picture is from Reddit. From /r/books, few days ago. Fuck off OP.
>>
Throw everything away except Milk and Honey.
>>
>>9929393
Begin by throwing Persepolis in the garbage.
>>
>>9929480
>trash normie books
>hang onto Diaz
you OK anon?
>>
>>9929630
It's very poorly drawn and got inflated good press based on the fact that it was made by an oppressed wymyn of color despite its lack of aesthetic and/or literary merit. The fact that critics had a hard on at the time for ""graphic novels"" (aka I'm going to read a comic album but am too embarrassed to say I'm reading a comic album) no doubt helped as well.
>>
>>9929393
>What do I begin with?
take the Aziz Ansari and throw it in the trash
>>
>>9929480
>trash kafka
>>
>>9929393
>brief interviews with hideous men

Because I post on Reddit. You should too, goy!

There is literally nothing wrong with reading Murakami.
