>Where did he justify this labeling based on disagreement ?
That's the entire basis of the left/right dichotomy, you fucking imbecile, you're the exact same turd but only separate yourselves in an attempt to feel superiority over one another because you're an insecure beta bitch

This is even worse than the Eye of Argon, kek
At least that one was satire. This is earnest cringe full of gibberish names that no one can possibly care about

Sad.

You will never use a book to get a GF OP. Women will like that you read, they may even find it attractive! but it is no substitute for having a personality that makes you interesting/dependable/charming. You wouldn't pick your friends based purely on what books they read and she will not choose to be your gf based on what books you read. That's all there is to it.

If I copy down the complete In Search for Lost Time by hand will I be able to write a seven volume masterpiece of my own?

How can i get better at writing poetry? I mostly write drunk and when feeling down, and the next morning i never really like what i wrote. This is a link with some of my poems.
Honest opinions please, you can make fun of it as well, i'd probably laugh with you.

No, no, no.

>Prose is shit
Nope. It is meticulous, ironic, and masterly.

>the narration is cumbersome and goes nowhere
You just chose to dislike the narrator's voice... as far as it going "nowhere", you are completely off the mark. The narrator is full of ethical observations as well as remarks about politics, culture, etiquette... and the detail is all there... Nope.

>plot is unimaginative and tedious.
Just get destroyed, honestly.

How would you know whether you like Swift unless you've read his magnum opus?

>>5246568
l2spoiler tags. There is a difference between edificatory and preachy, although it will escape your notice if you are amoralistic. Plus, I don't think you'll get far taking Swift's words at face value.

Pretty much this. There is a reason why we talk abut Jonathan Swift and Gulliver's Travels-- read it and opine for yourself.
OP, read the book, it's very funny. It is a philosophical novel like Candide, but it is very tasteful. It hasn't enjoyed mainstream or curricular success because it is not a book for normalfags. Jonathan swift is weird, incisive, and intensely philosophical.

It's a book worth reading and re-reading.
