/lit/ - Literature

going to graduate with a physics and math degree in a year and I have no idea what I'm going to do when I graduate. I was into literature in high school then stopped caring and only read genre fiction now. I just want to get a job that isnt a 9-5 cubicle grind but I'm becoming increasingly hopeless.

not in order

Lolita
Pale Fire
Dead Souls
Brothers K
Gravitys rainbow
Heart of Darkness
Dubliners (joyce's best unironically)
Stoner

[Spoiler] blindsight, the whole prince of nothing series, the forever war [/spoiler]

>he reads ficciones

He had the leddittard's stem and "nerd culture" worship and apparently didn't think any characters without anime level 200 iq intelligence were interesting because he didn't write any.

There was also a lot of cringy shit about depression that I wont get into(dude the real world sucks xD) 2/3 because im getting spam filtered

Just stop doing this. You're embarrassing yourself. I guarantee you haven't read 1/5 of the books from the lists of the people whom you call plebs.

>mfw bloom had escaped back to Yale by firing himself out of his westward cannon while Wallace's body was still turgid.

god 2666 is awful. I just finished book 1 and literally nothing happened. There was no pynchonesque fun. There was no sincerity, there was no verbosity. I just read like 200 pages of literally nothing happening.

>he saw a very tall man walk into the bar
>maybe its archimboldi
>it's not archimboldi

E P I C

Anyone who likes this book has inculcated so much postmodern white guy ennui that they have literally stopped being human. Fuck 2666.

>he didn't go to oxbridge/Harvard/Yale

If you read the classics, it means you only read what others tell you to read, but if you read obscure books, it means you're a contrarian hipster. What do?
