What are some books that take place at Christmas?

What are some other novels where the writer projects his repressed mommy issues into a book?

In the short story good old neon by David Foster Wallace, it is said that there are 16 instances of the word whatever. There are no instances of the word hate in this story; and yet, verily, hate is contained in these 16 whatever's.

I am a sexually frustrated incel and I hate women. What are some books to stoke that hatred further?

Thoughts on Whatever by Houellebecq?

What do you think of the concept of the Extension of the Domain of Struggle?

and do you think that the domain of the struggle truly extend? or has this social ill remain static?

France

Burgerland

Howdy /lit/, discovered houellebecq several months ago and finally started reading him recently. I finished elementary particles and submission. I thought both were really good, but was blown away by elementary particles. I want to read the rest of his catalog, but I can tell already that every book is very similar with it's content. What else should I read by Houellebecq? I definitely want to read whatever, but apart from that what else?

What the fuck was his problem?

What was the meaning of the MC riding with his bicycle at the end of the book? i could relate to his feeling but i don´t have a clue what was meant to convey there

Give me other books about programmers/IT specialists.

What other books are incel core?

Read the first one you find at the used book store.
For me, it was this one.

I myself am literally an incel, and even I find this shit pathetic.

Is this meant to be ironic in some way? Mocking virgin men? I can't imagine they would let a book with so many blackpills be published

was hoolybeck right about sexual liberation?

>You will always be an orphan to those adolescent loves you never knew.

Just finished this underwhelming tripe; what did I think of it?

I wanted a shootout

Worth finishing or move on to atomised? Have read a bit and the writing seems shit. I hear his writing improves a lot in atomised though.

>The following evening we went to eat in a pizzeria. The waiter had the air of actually being Italian; one imagined him to be both hairy and charming; he deeply disgusted me. On top of that he hurriedly set down our respective spaghettis without due care. If we'd been wearing slit skirts that would have been different.
Is Houellebecq the only significant writer this century has produced thus far?
