no it's not that "i don't like the characters", it's that i don't find them compelling in that they're completely boring and don't really have anything interesting about them in the depiction of their banality. there are plenty of great works of literature which i adore where i don't relate to the characters or dislike them, but at least they aren't fucking boring. the american ideal is just endlessly uninteresting.

this is the best book ever written, but it's depressing

get something comfy
HP Lovecraft is a good author for relaxing, also some philosophy is nice to just sit down and read.

anything by de Sade

>>14404349
that's also degenerate anon
the only body parts i'll show online are what anyone could see if they just met me on the street. anything else is fucking degenerate.
>>14404347
to which part?
>>14404344
i know but i just fucking hate everyone in the book. it would be better if it included the violence of Blood Meridian so i could just watch them die.
>>14404359
this is an incredibly good answer desu. (i'm biased though because i speak german and love german lit)

>>14404327
my body is only for my boyfriend (hopefully future husband)

i really like Dazai Osamu's No Longer Human, but that speaks much more to hopelessness than anything else.

>>14404317
i think the immaturity was what turned me off from it. that whole class sucked though. we read only three things that were worthwhile. fucking ap literature...

>>14404304
that's degenerate anon!

>>14404299
i'm depressed and i still hated it
why would you write such a terrible book
i read it at 17 though for an english class, so maybe that's it.....

she wasn't even transphobic
Maya just didn't like this fat bugman who wanted her to use they them pronouns for some bizarre narcissistic reason

slaughtehouse five was a very good book when i was in high school. it was edgy enough to entertain me and good enough for me to appreciate it.

just learn German
it's infinitely better

>>14403401
incredibly based
>>14404269
do you have to be male to understand that book? whenever i tell someone i hate that book they just tell me i can't understand it really because i'm a girl.

>>14404256
a.) i don't feel "connected" to the english language even though i grew up with it. i associate english with mainly just the anglo-american hegemony that produces garbage YA novels and erotica
b.) i feel like i can only express myself / my ideas in other languages. idk why.

I wanna write work that's both good and that people will read, but I hate the English language, in order to be popular though I need to at least allow translations. What's the best answer for this? I just wanna write in German or Japanese or French or some other language that I love...

Norwegian and Old Norse, then do Icelandic. This is the best method.

If you’re philosophically literate you’ll either be left or right. You won’t agree with neoliberal centrism.

>>14296108
Meh

>>14295172
No lmao are you insane?

Tuttle is probably good
You should also just learn chinese. See if you can find a bilingual edition or something. That’s the best way.
