Maybe that guy was a douche. Maybe the woman was a stuffy, old cunt who lived a boring life and lived vicariously through the prestige of the cathedral. Why do people think people are so black and white?

Why is it that so much literature of the 19th century contains so much fluff and verbose prose?

Newsflash, the way to maintain a successful society in the long run requires natural resources, adopting a market economy with a social safety net, a homogenous above-average-IQ population who breeds at near replacement rate so as not to create the (((need))) for immigration in disruptive numbers

Why is this news and why is /lit/ turning into /nupol/?

Biggest let down /lit/ ever recommended me.

Interminable ramblings about the desert. Nary a punctuation mark in THE ENTIRE book. M-muh evil judge so evil, the most overrated character I can think of. It was alright, but definitely doesn't deserve the praise it gets. 6/10.

this board is just as big a circlejerk as rebbit

you disgust me

Naw the final expression is throwing this book in the trash. Unless, of course, you love zero-punctuation interminable ramblings about the deserts for pages on end that detract from any semblance of a plot.

I don't know. You must be new here. People on /lit/ like pretending like they're experts on every influential intellectual and like they have any idea what they're talking about.

>they don't know who he is
>"Really? He's one of the most famous authors from Russia... you know Tolstoy then?"
>"Who?"
>"You guys are just kidding, right?"
>"No, anon, not everyone reads your kind of literature."

I mean, these guys are known to people who don't even read!

>Actually believes the Nazis burnt down the Reichstag

I'm sure you'll call me a Nazi sympathizer, but no, I'm just a guy who has read a lot of books on Nazi Germany. RaFotTR is entertaining, but not nearly the best account of the Third Reich.

Your narrative is shit. The only character introduced is totally indiscernible from the landscape and has no shape/depth/definition whatsoever. You've just used roundabout language to make sure nothing happens and no information about anything is given. It's like if I asked you what came out of a gun, and you replied: "Injustice; the tools of killers and madmen whose very souls have been tainted by the cold black wisps of the abyss." Stop being a terrible Pynchon fan.
