/lit/ - Literature

literally just saw a qt reading this on the bus

is it really a meme book?

I just finished reading Ready Player One and holy god damn shit. It's been awhile since I read a book and this one had me zoned out for four hours reading the ending to it.

What are /lit/s opinions on the book or the upcoming movie coming out in two years? Also, any recommendations for future books? I loved everything about this book and I want more.

Thoughts on this?

Has anyone read this book?

7.5/10 Am I wrong? Let's discuss

I'm not sure if this deserves a post but I haven't cringed so hard from reading a book before. My cousin sent me this for christmas saying her and her son really loved it and that I might, too.

After the first few chapters, I felt like I had just scrolled through the front pages of reddit... literally not a single original idea, just regurgitated pop culture references.

How does something like this get published and acquire so many good reviews?

I wrote a story about finding an easter egg with my friends in a Gameboy game for a second grade writing project and this guy publishes a novel based on the same concept.

I am really just offended by this book. Has anyone else managed to get through it?

Is Ready Player One YA?

Hello /lit/. I got this book in a lootcrate a couple months back and I just got around to reading it. Are there books like it I should read?

Take this and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

New here. If I liked pic related but want something harder, what would you recommend?

This is the worst book I've read in a long time!

Also, Cline's latest book sounds like it's going to completely rip-off The Last Starfighter.

just finished reading ready player one. looking for similar books to read.

If 30 years from now, a manchild wrote a campy, masturbatory celebration of the 2000's, what would it look like? Would it feel just as nostalgic? Or is there something special about the 80's that made it more culturally rich and unique?

What's our generation's equivalent of neon illuminated arcades and synthesizer laden hair rock? Is there enough material to give birth to something like cyberpunk or are we just too culturally diluted?

ITT: the most cringeworthy book you have forced yourself through

How far in do you get before you allow yourself to drop a book like the bad turd it is?
