>there are people who seriously think that Nabokov is shit and worthless because he doesn't fill his books with shitty half assed arguments / observations about any of the following: ethics, existence of god, obscure philosophy, popular philosophy, consumerism, anything-ism

When did these faggots try to take over literature? If, for example, Dostoevsky is so smart why doesn't he just write all of his supposedly profound conclusions in clearly presented non-fiction? Why does Crime and Punishment (English translation but whatever) have to be so crushingly dull? It takes a billion pages, fevers, and monologues to get to the money shot of Raskolnikov saying that he's an edgy faggot that's on par with Napoleon?

Also recommend me books relating to picrelated.
