/lit/ - Literature

Reading is about noticing style and structure, not about 'feeling empathy'. If you need a book to feel this so-called 'empathy', you are a psychopath. Not that there's anything wrong with being a psychopath.
Still, as Nabokov said, only a child would identify with a character in a book.
I tend to dislike women authors because their style quickly descends into kitsch, even when it's original and well-structured.

I literally cannot stand any fiction writer other than Nabokov.

I mean, NOT A SINGLE ONE, I absolutely CAN'T STAND reading any other writer, they all sound stale compared to Nabokov.

Please don't read Nabokov, he will set a new standard and ruin every single other book for you forever.
