/lit/ - Literature

.

What people who criticize OP's attitude don't seem to understand is that we are not hipsters who like obscure stuff "you don't know about". Isn't Moby Dick one of the best known books of our time? And Don Quixote? Or most of the books we always "discuss" (shitpost) about?

The problem is that most middle-class people who have attended High School or College think that can say anything they want because everything is a "matter of taste" when it comes to literature, music or films; but of course, only when they're not talking with Twilight or Transformers fans -in that case, they're truly enlightened and know about "good shit", right?-. On the other hand, when they hear someone talking about Faulkner or Proust, they feel the urge to disqualify them: "Bunch of hipsters", "That shit is so boring, you only read it in order to make me feel bad about my inferiority complex", etc.

tl; dr People lack of decent artistic and literary education and need to learn how to read a fucking book.

I still need to finally get off my ass and read some Pynchon.

I'll go with this dude's advice and read V. >>5368159

Have a picture from /v/ as thanks.

Anyone got a chart for political (or, less preferably, courtroom) fiction?
