Yep, looks like we're done here.

So I'm fairly new to /lit/ (have been reading regularly for less than a year) and I've read 3 books from each of the following authors:
>James Joyce
>John Steinbeck
>Vladimir Nabokov
>Thomas Pynchon
>Cormac McCarthy (worst of them all, atrociously bad)
>David Foster Wallace
And shit, none of it is good. I feel like it's been a complete waste of time. Hell, I feel like I could do MUCH better. Do you guys read anything good? Do you enjoy this drivel, or do you just pretend to in order to feel intelligent?

I actually do believe in Christ but it doesn't give me any comfort. I'm still miserable every day of my life and I'd rather not exist.
