What the fuck is this list? Why is Marx before Hegel and Kant? Why do you have both Orientalism and Culture and Imperialism?? They are basically the same book. Why is Protestant Ethic the only Weber book? Why have Critique of Pure Reason and not Economy and Society? What the fuck happened with Durkheim? You have one Mauss book but no Malinowsky? What happened with Levi-Strauss? Why would you incite me to "read theory" and then put The Capital without anything of Locke, Adam Smith or David Ricardo? You have a book on neoliberal history but no neoliberal theory?
Seriously, who the fuck makes these? It looks like a text compilation taken from wikipedia articles.

>tfw don't know anyone who reads

I know two "girl readers"
They're fucking retarded
They boast to people about how much they read and how highly they place intelligence. They always talk shit about their friends who don't read. Yet they come to me for interpretations about books all the time, which they then recite verbatim to other people as their own. They misread Lolita so badly it was embarrassing to talk to them about it.
They buy 10 books to put on their shelf for every 1 book (sub 300 pages) they read. One girl bought Apology by Plato, it was this giant leather edition or something, the text was giant. It was like 150 pages for the fucking Apology. She never finished it.
They constantly add these great works to their to-read list on goodreads but they never fucking read
They're also obsessed with Freud too for some reason, idk why, I've noticed this with other girls too. But they never actually have read him
RRRRRREEEEEEE I WANT A TRUE /LIT/ GF
