/lit/ - Literature

Like, books that will rattle you to the core. I'm talking real Brendan-tier books.

Can I get some recs?

>forced myself to apply to the ivies
>wasting my freshman year at SUNY Ithaca
>didn't know a program this comprehensive existed

Why can't they advertise better? I'd apply in a heartbeat if I knew St Johns existed

>every girl you date who is smart is a pretentious bitch who frowns on "genre fiction"
>every girl you date who doesn't frown on genre fiction is vapid and doesn't even know who Kubrick is

Is it just mean, or are male intellectuals more varied and nuanced than female ones?

>reading an old poem in class
>think it's really good
>professor says he gave it to us as an example of shitty poetry
