None of those authors are particularly obscure insofar as one being “impressed” by some dork having Gaddis et al on their shelf when there are consistent threads dedicated to all them. If you are just now discovering them, then that’s even worse. Nonetheless, you should kys, you pleb.

perusing these stacks and shelves is fascinating to me. i like trying to understand the person behind the stack, their development/progression as a reader, their passions, their area of focus/expertise etc. but i often notice that there's nothing behind the stack, no discernible personality, just a generic heap of classics and critically acclaimed modern litfic, all the familiar names, nothing unique. more the product of an algorithm than a human.
