Proust is underrated seeing as he's regarded as above average yet he's really a top 3 writer ever

I don't think it possible to overrate him.

he's overrated in France and underrated everywhere else

Is it a pleb tier opinion to really like how he writes but think In Search is kind of a failed experiment

That nigger faggot Shakespeare.

overrated? i'm sorry? can we repeat that once more? i must've misheard; a misfire in the neurons; a mishap in the eye percetion; a disconnect between the eye and the brain; a blockage, a voodoo, a hoodoo; i'm sorry, overrated? no, no, no, no (and i'll say it seven more times, the christian number, ho); no, no; blankets are overrated; pillows are overrated; the bedsheets, the covers, the comforters, overrated; gilded books, overrated; hardcover books with the edges; chocolate; soda; the seven wonders of the world; the pyramids at giza; the parthenon; the roman coliseums; the gladiatorial fights;

shelley; wordsworth; whitman; plath; those are overrated

but shakespeare?

i want you to step back, sit, eat something healthy, rest for 8 hours; get a sleep, get a rest; get a repose; and then come back to me after you've augmented that opinion;

overrated; overrated; my god; to overrate gold; to overrate, to overindulge ambrosial beauty

Are you also the guy who wrote the pasta with the different tiers of writers and Proust being the only one in the top tier?

>>11426589
no; different anon; i'm the semicolanon; a buzzing, blooming, brimming, up-and-coming kind of distinctive writer; i'll take semicolanon; semicolon anon; or any other various distinction; but the semicolon is sort of my signature; my pennon, my flag; my chryselephantine papal standard, if thou will; hee hee hee!; and i'll wait while you wait, no jest

>>11426639
what? i'm sorry; maybe we misunderstand; maybe we forget; maybe we are at an impasse; a conflict; a crux; a debate; a dilemma; joyce--overrated?; did we go there? did we mount that? did we come to that?

again; eight hours of sleep; healthy diet; an hour of exercise; then come back to me on joyce; come back to me; see you then

>>11426611
I meant this pasta >>/lit/thread/S11246673#p11247238
apart from the lack of semicolons it's pretty different. Anyway, you're posts are entertaining, keep it up

>>11426683
ah yes; i've seen that rather grandiose post round these parts; it's good, it's fine; a bit meretricious; i like it, i do; of course it's not me; not enough semicolons; bit of a royal tone to it; it's fine, it's all right; we'll reread it; but i thank you

He probably has a greater reputation than he deserves, but at the same time he's not very widely read, so it kind of works itself out in the end.
