Spell it in Cyrillic or don't at all you cocksucking smore.

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky

How old are you? I enjoyed my first time readings of most of Vonneguts stuff too. It's all about growing up and realizing that it's shit man.

>>1096830

I can see it. I love big D though.

On a related note. Kafka. I liked his short stories and I liked his themes and ideas but I hated all of his novels.

If you're a girl *brofist, if you're not then mega fag.

You're missing the point of the thread. I never said that either author is "bad".

I first read Catcher in the Rye when I was nine years old and didn't understand much more than the text on the page.

Cats Cradle was awful though. Sorry you had to read that at all OP. I've been there too my friend :(

/lit/ are there any authors you just could not get into no matter how much you wanted to?

For me it's Vladimir Nabokov. I liked the Defense because it was about Chess, but that's about it. I've really tried to enjoy him but I just don't like his prose.

Also Herman Melville, but I never really tried with him.

I know most of those books. If you were really obscure and cool and into sci fi you would have picked books nobody knows.

ahahaha gay ahahah fuyck

>hmmm i always thought balthazar was a good name for an antagonist

That is probably because you know nothing.

Scorpio

That's what I'm thinking too. People rarely just up and describe exactly what they're feeling in dialogue.

>>1096751

Nah that stinks.

I thought this was about "The Road" and wasn't going to reply as I haven't read it.

Skip this dated pile.

>"I feel great! I feel so energetic!"

Is it a commercial?

>>1096728

Well I don't know or care which would be better. But you clearly haven't addressed his problem with your initial line.

>>1096721

They aren't?

Capitalize your I's and what not. Run the entire thing through Microsoft word and fix the grammar/spelling.

Lines like these just sound silly.

>but I am finding it hard to study with such minimal income at the age of 21
>This apprenticeship would help satisfy my mechanical curiosity.

He was in a state of sorry cantaloupe.

Sorrow is a noun you bitch.

>Contemporary literature is so shitty. I haven't read any of it and I'm a little cannon baby who can't appreciate a book unless it's been cherished and hailed for tens or hundreds of years. I need people to hold my hand for me and tell me what to like.
