/lit/ - Literature

Who are the hottest 21st century female authors?

Sup /lit/.

Just got the Oxford Annotated Bible.

What order should I read the books in?

>Everytime I'm reading in public I secretly hope a cute girl will be impressed by my choice of literature and approach me
>I'm aware how incredibly pathetic the hope is
>I'm aware it will literally never happen
>I'm aware it reduces my literary explorations to posturing and pitiful attention whoring
>I still hope every single time I pull out a book I will be approached

Just fuck my shit up

Christopher Marlowe:
"Was this the face that launched a thousand ships
And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss. [Kisses her.]
Her lips suck forth my soul; see where it flies!—
Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again.
Here will I dwell, for Heaven is in these lips,
And all is dross that is not Helena."

Lord Tennyson
"And a new sun rose, bringing a new year"
