why?

"What passes for hip cynical transcendence of sentiment is really some kind of fear of being really human, since to be really human [...] is probably to be unavoidably sentimental and naïve and goo-prone and generally pathetic."

When did all of 4chan turn into /pol/? You guys have a whole fucking board for this shit but want to annoy other people on boards with people discussing specific things. And this board for people discussing fucking books. Go back to /pol/ and kill yourself for being a faggot and disrupting my friendly thread about Wallace.

His death was similar to DFW's in the way that they killed themselves because they were afraid of getting old and dying of something else.
