I feel a lot of second hand embarrassment for you. Like really, you went out with your Autistic understanding of literature that you got from /lit/
>Which is about as socially acceptable as having the political beliefs you found at /pol/
And then, AND THEN MISTER PATRICIAN YOU FUCKING LOST THE ARGUMENT TO A PLEBEIAN

I don't know what's more disgusting, you're pseudo-intellectual failure, or that 25 year old man reading Sci-fi like a common "nerd."

I'lll tell you the most Plebeian book in existence. The most oft lauded novella by James Joyce, Ulysses. A book so contrite and up it's own ass that one can hardly tell the difference between a fart and burp.

Have you read Finnegans Wake, Original Poster? Well I have, and in that novel you find the most DRAMATIC attempts to be avant gard and the pretension is so over blown, so vastly out-scoping the average reading of literature, one must wonder HOW anyone could be so inane as to write a book about farts.

I mean really Original Poster, at least you know from the beginning that the Hungry Game is meant for children and is, hah, "science" fiction. Well, I mean really, if you are going to entertain the idea of reading such things, then maybe it is perhaps you who is truly the Plebeian.

Ah, yes my fellow patricians, with this post here we have the perfect example of a plebeian attempting to look hip and "with it" by posting a picture of a young woman who seems to be a... Oh what are they called... Ah Yes, a "Q T 3.14," or "cutie pie" just because she is on a public transit with a copy of Ayn Rand's seminal work.

Well, I must say, I shrugged. It's complete pleb garbage if you ask me, and worst of all it's considered by so many to be high literature, but usually only by the baristas at the local coffee houses who dropped out of college in there second year of pursuing a liberal arts degree. Hah!

Oh yes, I've see dregs of miss Rand's work in the hands of many a dredlocked young man behind the counter of Cafe Nervosa during his 15 minute break.

I mean really, why would you read on a bus ride, unless you were only doing it for attention? What a sad lonely cry for help, if the only way to get people to attempt a conversation starter is to have a copy of Ayn Rand as a little test for young men to apply themselves to your intellect by seeing if they in fact are familiar with that, ahem, "work" of "literature."

I am not however saying that those who use public transit are beneath me, I have to admit every now and then I too like to go slumming, in fact my brother Niles and I went on an expedition on the Seattle public transportation system just a few years ago, just to soak in some of the local color.

And yes, it was quite "colorful" indeed, given the multicultural diversity of our fair city.

But I digress, if you were really going to go somewhere and read on the public transit, why read something so typical? Why not spicy things up and read James Joyce's Ulysses, that's seem very original!

Thanks for your post Anonymous!

How so?
Like I'm not challenging it I'm just interested to see how your reading habits reflect on, or condition your writing skills.

>Fuck off you loathsome cunt and never use that meme ever again on this reprehensable website.

Guys check it, the most redundant sentence on this board.

It's the net bud, you lost the right for people to take you seriously when you ordered someone around on a website.

Okay.
