Can we bring back dfwposting?

It seems a bunch of "women" replied to my post without answering my simple question: what were some of these amazing books reddit recommended to you?

Fleur Jaeggy is not mainstream
Neither is Oulipo or Locus Solus or Maldoror or Lanark or A King Alone or Gass or the Dictionary of the Khazars or the Vorrh or even Gaddis, really. Hell, Flashman isn't exactly a household name either.

Not on reddit, or not frequently enough on reddit to matter.

I read more than you, and reddit still doesn't talk about most of these books, which is the point of this discussion. Critical acclaim means nothing especially on Reddit where Brandon Sanderson and Ready Player One are the par for quality. It also means nothing because critics have no relevance on social media sites, which is what we're discussing right now, you idiot.

>as good as anything I've ever read
this doesn't mean anything since we don't know what you've read or what you consider good.
