There's a general set of rules and standards we hold art up to create an objective standard of quality which is then further criticized through personal, subjective taste. Thus, I can recognize that Moby Dick is objectively a good novel but subjectively I do not like it. In fact, we can debate whether or not it is objectively a good novel as long as we agree upon the criteria. Just because you want to no one to tell you Game of Thrones sucks doesn't mean that all opinions are subjective, it just means you're insecure and sucky (my subjective opinion).

>Be European
>Cover every fucking thing in gold
>Still have an antiquated, money suck monarchy
>See nice, well decorated covers to American books

>mfw you don't understand shit about history and the difference between a commission artist and employees

First I was all like
>Harry Potter

Then I was all like
>Fight Club, American Psycho, Slaughter house-five, Catcher in the Rye, On the road, Catch 22.

Now I'm all like
>Infinite Jest, Ulysses, Atlas Shrugged

Plus I enjoy LOTR and the occasional Neil Gayman. I feel this is a generally correct progression of literary taste, but I'm wrong a lot, too.

pic related: I used to read Poe's stuff like it was the winning lottery number

He is a member of a group of vandals that TERRORIZE/TERRORIZES the entire southern coast.

I want to read some Poe's short stories, which should I read first?
Picture kind of related.

i preferred Black Star to most of his solo stuff, apart from Black on Both Sides.

Saw him (as Black Star), Rakim and supposed to have seen (but they didnt show up) De La Soul the other week.

was kinda shitty De La Soul didn't come, they were the main reason i went tbh

also, seeing Wu Tang Clan on Monday.
