/lit/ - Literature

Idk I don't think a great deal of books have done humor very well outside of being occasionally funny. Most books I've read by stand-up comedians tend to be short stories more or less based on said comedians life and are not as good as their stand-up. Don't get me wrong they are pretty enjoyable light reads but you might expect 2 light laughs from every story at best. They come across as underdeveloped standup bits.

Pic related is unironically the funniest book I've read.

Who does /lit/ think of jdate?

I....liked it....

Is it actually decent like some people lead me to believe, or is it just Twilight/Hungergames tier?

What does /lit/ think of John Dies at the End and This Book Is Full Of Spiders?

I really enjoy both and hope that there are more books to come.

I'm only a few pages in but it's already boring the fuck out of me, Should I push on through?

this book.
how is it?

Have you read John Dies At The End? THoughts?

I'm about 3/4 through it and it's fun but seems very easy to write. It's just LOLRANDOM and cuss words. Hopefully it'll gel together for me at the end. Where John dies.

Did anyone here read it? What did you think?

i know the book has been out for some time, but i just finished it. general discussion thread?

i was really surprised the author didn't run out of steam before the end. it felt right all the way through. most of the books with that sort of humor (i.e. apathy) generally grow a bit stale for me.

9/10 for the first two acts, 7/10 for the final act.

Good evening, /lit/. Have you read this book?

I'm about halfway through and for a while now have been feeling that I'm wasting my time.

The author is witty, the plot moves fast, it's thrilling enough, but every chapter is littered with so much inconsequential, random, *WHACKY* details that don't really lead anywhere. I've heard twice already that David's life "would never be the same" after some event, only to have the author completely dismiss whole chapters with something even more unimportant, but totally more crazy than before.

Is anything explained towards the end? Why this shit is happening, who are demonic culprits, so on and so forth.?
Anyone care to just spoil the ending for me (besides the obvious), because that's the only reason I can find to continue reading?

Am I wrong?

>tl;dr: book is annoying me, how does it end (apart from John's death?)?

I like the cover my one has better

What does /lit/ think of JDatE?

Did you guys ever read this? I know its not serious literature but it is a very fun book and his writing style is interesting, like if Palahniuk was good.

This book. Have you read it?

*shrugs* I liked this one

What does /lit/ think of this book?

I have my name in the back, so obviously I'm a rather big fan of Wong, but I want to know what the rest of you have to say.

i love this book! Does anyone else?

"I AM KORROK. In the mountains of Uruguay, a goat gets its hoof caught in a posthole and the bone snaps like a twig. The splinter juts from its skin, blood spraying onto white fur. It is stuck like that for three days. Finally, a wolf mother comes along, carrying her pup in her jaws. She lets her pup feed off the goat, gnawing bits of fur and skin and tearing at muscle. The goat feels it and screams and there is pain and pain and neither the goat nor the wolf nor the pup understand their place in the machine. I stand above all, and call them fags. I AM KORROK."
