/lit/ - Literature

Minimalism, starkness, and greyscale
Somber but not edgy or grimdark
Maturity
Or, maximalism when refined to a T, beauty when stripped of cornball and cheese.
I like both ends, but especially those that find a way to balance the two.
Beckett / Joyce and Pynchon
Rothko and Duchamp and Malevich / Caspar David Friedrich and Jacques Louis-David
Cannibal Ox and The Fall / Miguel, Burial, and the Clash
Dick Ovens

I won't pretend there's any connection between any of the above other than I like them and see things I like in them.
