>Murakami is mentioned a lot
that's because of betting lists
Murakami fans are dumb enough to bet for him even with low odds, so there's no reason for them to give good ones
then the media buys into it and it becomes perpetuated
HK is also a lot more popular than DF'sWaifu

I'll glad read books by females or even negroes as long as they're good books.

>It's amazing how white and middle class you people are.
I'm fucking Khmer. Not white or middle class.

>In traditional tribal cultures, men would kill you for going anywhere near their women.
What tribe and tradition? Were talking a span that anthropologists estimate between 70,000 and 250,000 years. You're doing exactly the same thing as evo-psych's did in the 90's; you're applying your current mentality to civilizations many thousands of years old. Long before the three-age Stone-Bronze-Iron era, long before agriculture, the only thing close to private property was food. Certainly not females. The males didn't own females, you blithering idiot. Read a book.

>They had something called honor
oh, yes, I'm sure they did. Perhaps they had knighthoods too.

>Like in Afghanistan if they catch you peeking over their fence at their daughter they'll kill you.
Once again, you are using current moral values. We're not discussing what Afghans do, we are discussing hunter gathers and foragers tens of thousands of years ago.It's probably best for you to sit this one out, champ. You've been humiliated enough.

1. David Foster Wallace was a genius and Infinite Jest will be universally acknowledged as part of the Western canon within 100 years.

2. George R.R. Martin is a scat fanfiction writer masquerading as a fantasy novelist and GoT is an abomination. He is also probably literally autistic as well.

3. "Slam poetry" inflames the same part of the brain as "The Turner Diaries" but gets a free pass because black people are now a priestly caste in American society.

If irony is good enough for Shakespeare it's good enough for me regardless of what some Continental has to say on the matter.
