I can never imagine a "s o y" person reading No Longer Human.

>>14583005
Sòy

>>14583054
Fuck you I liked The Corrections

>>14583059
Trust me, they do.

>>14583060
Chicken

In terms of nonfiction, anything that mentions feminism or postcolonialism.

>>14583069
and secular humanism and New Atheism.

>>14583054
How is Murakami Soi?

>>14583069
Also Alain de Botton or any self help type ""philosopher""

>>14583081
He's literally the King of Söy. Peak soÿhood literature.

>>14583054
This will piss off a lot of onions boys but it's 100% accurate.

>>14582995
What happened to him

>>14583054
i tough only the Martian movie was söy, people say the book is quite good and less dull

>>14582995
Dubliners
Consider the Lobster
Lolita
12 Rules for Life

>>14583299
None of this qualifies as söy, except perhaps 12 rules.

>>14582995
Das Kapital.

>>14583054
Where's The Hitchhiker's Guide?

>>14583327
12 rules is cornboy, not basedboy

>>14583054
Woooooowww so you finna play me like that

>>14583358
nobody reads that anymore.

The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times

>>14583327
No. Those are pure, undiluted sõy. 12R excepted.
>>14583371
Absolutely correct.

>>14582995
capitalist realism

>>14582995
All of them. Only preliterate oral traditions are acceptable.

>>14582995
The Bible
Religious books in general

>>14583552
How's Dubliners söy? Söyboys don't read shit made before the 90s. Same with movies.

>>14583829
Where I'm from it's mostly the women who are actively religious, and the men do believe in God but aren't as active. I think it's the same anywhere.

>>14583838
dublin is pretty söy desu
lots of plastic paddy söybois love dublin

>>14583838
Onions absolutely read classics. They often discuss "reading The Classics." Honestly, /lit/ is pretty onions on the whole.

>>14582995
I love the try guys :')

Those cringe self help books with an f bomb in the title.

>>14582995
the bible

Periodic reminder that there are seething buttblasted onionsfags from reddit itt trying to undermine the force of the meme e.g. >>14583961 >>14584054 >>14583829

>>14584112
it's over anon let it go

>>14584112
> trying to undermine the force of the meme
Stirlitz, you failed here.

>>14583054
Never read any of these but I'd like to give The Handmaid's Tale a try
>>14582995
it depends on the country you live in I guess. Although I guess Harry Potter is international soï material

>>14583857
Yup

>>14582995
Infinite jest

>>14582995
Alan Watts

>>14584112
Awful post

Something pop-science related. Onions wuvs da science despite never really being all that knowledgeable about the subject in general.

Lmaoing irl at this wordfilter.

>>14582995
onision three books are a good starting point

>>14583021
Vonnegut isn't that bad desu

>>14585512
also what is s.o.y about P.G. Wodehouse

>>14582995
Anything by Murakami is pure oñions.

>>14585523
Tried 19Q4 and gave up. Unsurprisingly it was a mainstream success

>>14583021
>Wodehouse

Onion boys have never heard of PG

>>14583054

>Never let me go

Oh you bet I'm triggered

>>14585538
there's another Wodehouse?

>>14585520
söyboys love that quirky british «humor»

>>14585553
really ?

>>14585543
Which Wodehouse do you speak of?

>>14585593
P.G. Wodehouse
You say soiboys have never heard of PG Wodehouse yet it;s on that "soibooks" list and I don;t see what's inherently soi in PG Wodehouse

>>14585606
there aren't anything onions related to PG. Whoever made it (like those obsessed with fickle titles such as it is) are directing their own resentment elsewhere

>>14585564
yup

>>14585635
care to elaborate?

>>14583021
>Wodehouse
No.

Everything by Fernando Pessoa, Arthur Schopenhauer and Thomas Pynchon

>>14583054
The only way No Longer Human qualifies is if you compare it directly to American Psycho. Not soi

>>14585671
All three are great. Söyboys don't have such a good taste.

>>14582995
Most of the garbage promoted by critics and academics written by non-whites and non-males

>>14585654
See >>14585553

>>14583829
This proves Julius Evola right. Christianity is a lunar feminine religion.

>>14585963
>Chriatianity is the only religion

>>14584112
based post, as evidenced by the s(o)yboys you managed to trigger

Anything by Chuck Palahniuk

>>14585998
Or Kurt Vonnegut

>>14585989
Name me another religion that has original sin and guilt as a core part of their theology.

>>14583054
>>14585523
Explain the onions-ness of murakami to me please, /lit/ scholars. I bought his norwegian wood thinking it's good and now I need to decide if I am going to burn it.

>>14586044
What does that have to do with anything?

>>14583054
>Fuck you I liked The Corrections
>Woooooowww so you finna play me like that
>Oh you bet I'm triggered

I can taste the søy from here

Was Gatsby Jewish?

>>14583054
I remember loving American Gods when I was 13, why do you think it is onions?

Here's the blurb for House of Leaves:

>Years ago, when House of Leaves was first being passed around, it was nothing more than a badly bundled heap of paper, parts of which would occasionally surface on the Internet. No one could have anticipated the small but devoted following this terrifying story would soon command. Starting with an odd assortment of marginalized youth—musicians, tattoo artists, programmers, strippers, environmentalists, and adrenaline junkies—the book eventually made its way into the hands of older generations, who not only found themselves in those strangely arranged pages but also discovered a way back into the lives of their estranged children.

>Soi is filtered on lot
What the fuck is up with the mods on this site? Soi is bad yet retarded words like coomer and incel aren't filtered?

>>14587824
I still don't understand why c u m brain got filtered within 24 hours yet coomer has been running rampant for months now

>>14587840
what is cumbrain filtered to?

>>14587889
cumbrain

>Ulysses
>Infinite Jest
>Gravity's Rainbow
>Finnegans Wake
>Moby Dick
>Atlas Shrugged
>Les Miserables
Basically any extremely long and/or complex novel that pseuds can force themselves through to pretend like they're smart and understood one of the "pleb filters"

Douglas Adams
Neil Gaiman
Any fantasy (that isn’t technically sci fi) written after Tolkien
YA fiction particularly Harry Potter and the hunger games
>>14583021
>wodehouse
Cringe, you’re probably just too working class to enjoy it

>>14587981
All those books are boring and they're hardly intellectual. I don't think fiction is the place to go if you want to become big brained.

>>14588004
>All those books are boring and they're hardly intellectual.
That's the point

>>14587981
Les Miserables is anything but onions, it's extremely manly
As far as French classics go Proust is onions as fuck though

Also there is nothing wrong with reading classics

>>14588004
if you want to be "big brained" you might as well stop reading books and go do equations all day like an autist, if you are interested in being well read then literature is essential
even if you have no soul and you are 100% utilitarian, classics of fiction still give you 1) historical and cultural understanding and 2) something to talk about when you are with rich people

>>14583054
>mfw all the required reading for my English class are there

>>14583005
>>14583060
*ahem*
so󠛡y

>>14587981
None of those is söy.

>>14583081
Is this bait?

>>14588775
holy shit, thats the dopest frog i've ever seen!

>>14586058
Relying on a mongolian imageboard to tell you what to think about a book, in addition to having such an abject aversion to anything labeled s o y is entirely and irrefutably s o y behavior

>>14583054
>corrections
>onions
pick one

>>14588775
fucking BASED

Zadie Smith is queen of s o y

>>14586058
I just finished Norwegian Wood. It just seems like a Hesse novel but the writing is more repetitive and lower quality (maybe due to the translator) and without the spirituality.

>>14587824
Why are you complaining when it makes no difference? You're just going to replace one letter and nothing will change.

>>14589725
giga onions, just as Freedom.

cumbrain

>>14583081
I was wondering that myself, and >>14583090
doesn't explain shit.

>>14583919
You sound like a fag, and your shit's all retarded. I kind of liked the book, but never really thought about it after I put it away. I don't see what it has to do with growing a scraggly beard, putting on horn rimmed glasses and taking selfies with mouth agape.

>>14583961
Then they don't know that "reading classics" means studying Greek and Latin.

>>14582995
>this thread is still up

>>14584680
Don't bother with Handmaid's Tale. It's laughably implausible. I detest fundamentalist Christianity, but the scenario Atwood describes just isn't possible.

>>14584112
What the fuck are you trying to say?

>>14583086
His book about architecture is actually pretty interesting though

>>14585512
yes he is

>>14583054
I'd add Topeka School too.
