>James Joyce vs Marcel Proust
Only read Proust, heard Joyce had an umbrella up his ass

>Leo Tolstoy vs Fyodor Dostoevsky
Dostoevsky because he is fucking boss (and I hate war and peace with a passion)

>Shakespeare vs Dante
Only read Shakespeare, widely heralded as the greatest author of English language. Dante seems too archaic to be an enjoyable read anyway

>Faulker vs Hemingway
Hemingway because he was alpha

>Walt Whitman vs Emily Dickinson
never read any of those

>Freud vs Lacan
Lacan because I enjoy understanding outcasts

>Thomas Pynchon vs David Foster Wallace
Err sorry both jest and rainbow were really enjoyable

>Bolano vs Garcia Marquez
I just started 2666, but never enjoyed cholera and solitude so Bolano it is

>Harold Bloom vs Foucault

E/lit/ists, what do you do when people ask you what a book is about, when the book's plot is really complex?
I'd rather not have to explain everything to them, but I feel like giving them the barebones wouldn't do some books justice. And just shoving the back cover/inside flaps into their face seems kind of rude.
Pic unrelated, I suppose.

Hey /lit/, does anyone else have the problem of forgetting a lot of what they read after finishing a book?
