/lit/ - Literature

We get it, you got filtered, bro. No need to make a salt thread about it.

>>15248351
>le filter meme

It's a boring story with complicated prose and characters that are a caricature of evil. Anybody that thinks the prose is "beautiful" is just a pleb suffering from Emperor's New Clothes syndrome. Give me a break

Dont even finish a book and you try rate it. Eat a dick.
Everyone knows last half is the best half.

>>15248397
>Thinking the prose is beautiful
>Caricature of evil
You missed the point entirely. Go read it again.

>>15248397
Sounds like you got textbook filtered.

>>15248397
Yep, you've been filtered. The judge is not a caricature of evil, but rather an embodiment of it.

>>15248433
If the book is so boring that I drop it, it's shit.

>>15248436
What point? That needless violence is epic and chapters upon chapters of it is good reading? fuck off edgelord

>>15248445
>>15248457
>DUDE FILTERED DUDE LOL
go back to whatever hole you crawled out from

>>15248466
Maybe try posting this on reddit? They seem to convince people who don't like certain books. We don't do that here.

>>15248397
I haven't read the book and I don't need to to know you're right. I've read the road another board favorite of cormack mccarthys and it was gay af. Garbage prose, stupid story, "hurrdurr people in apocalypse bad"
Gay af but this board defends it because they're pseud faggots
>I'd never read genre fiction or pulp novels
>WAIT IS THAT THE LATEST CORMACK MCCARTHY TRASH PROSE FILLED SUPPOSED NEW TAKE ON THE GENRE THAT'S REALLY JUST A RIP OFF?????? GIBS

Is the "filtered" meme the ultimate pseud cope?

>>15248397
May as well blow your brains out, they're useless anyways.

Screw off retard I'm not op I've never touched blood meridian but the road sucked

>>15249496
you're in the wrong thread, then. this isn't about the road.

>>15249504
Its a cormack mccarthy book and Its overrated trash. Its very relavent

>>15249496
Sounds like rebbit is more your speed. One anon already mentioned it, but we're not going to make you feel better about not reading something. If you read half of something and don't finish it it's because you're a brainlet faggot.

>>15249516
okay nigger

>it's another faggor doesn't understand post modernism episode

>>15249520
I read all of the road and it was trash that only someone who has never read anything of note was "good". Blow me mccarthy faggot. No country for old men is gay too

>>15249538
>No country for old men is gay too
I can't imagine a heterosexual man saying this. You are either a woman, a faggot or a nigger, or a nigger faggot woman.

>>15249538
If you exerted the same effort you
invest in bitterly filling out captchas over topics you allegedly don't care for into self-improvement, I promise you that you would've lost your virginity by now. No one gives a fuck that you're miserable and hate everything. See how that works, dumbfuck? Go build something.

>omg all these characters are carictures
>why is everything so violent?
>this is just genre fiction
>WTF THERE'S NO SEMICOLONS?????????
Filtered

>>15248397
>Complicated prose
Midwit alert

>>15249551
>Dude story where killer kills character is so manly
Read Beowulf and get back to me on masculinity in literature pussy

>>15249557
I didn't say I don't care about it I said I don't like it. And yes I have been investing time into improving. Prior to the corona bs I had increased my dead lift by over 100 pounds. I still keep a workout routine. Meanwhile you read mccarthy faggotry

>>15249592
>doesn't deny being a virgin
Well little man, keep deadlifting. 100 pounds? Not too bad lol. When you've lived a little more you'll start to understand an appreciation for McCarthy.

>>15249592
Seriously how fucking old are you?

>>15249592
>doesn't deny being a virgin
>brags about fucking weight lifting
>name drops beowulf
>probably didn't even read it in the original old english

Yeah, "filtered" is a pseud cope. Look at all of you avoiding arguments.

>>15249649
>Seriously how fucking old are you?
Older than you no doubt, but that wouldn't take much would it?

>>15249668
>virgin
Yes you see anon unlike you I have turned down sex. One girl wanted to do it in my car I said no because I am quite literally choosing to wait till I have my wife. If she isnt willing to wait for me she ain't worth my time
But I wouldn't expect a mccarthy fag to understand something as basic as morals
>lifting weight bad
Haha haha you're a skelly pussy aren't you? ok now I understand. Carry on twig. I hope a breeze doesn't snap you in half

>Yes you see anon unlike you I have turned down sex.

>if you don't like X, then X is bad
on the other hand
>if you don't like X, you got filtered and you're dumb

both opinions are wrong and you're all brainlets that need to go back to /tv/

>>15249772
>an enlightened centrist entered the chat

>>15248318
Do you have any names of books you consider exciting for reference?

>>15248318
I could say the book is underrated and have made just a compelling argument as you have.

I think its good you shit on it though, it keeps our arguments sharp and battle-ready.

>>15249749
>can't even name his age
>can't stop virtue signaling
>I TURNED DOWN SEX GUYS

Let’s just say Cormac has a very antiquated conception of virtuosity. Downright tasteless at times. Never was truly forward thinking as an artist. He can write though.

>>15252289
You didn't get it
The point is that it's NOT virtuous

>>15248397
>complicated prose
Stick to YA

>>15252289
>art should only affirm what I like

>>15249772
/tv/ is a better board than /lit/

>>15252932
Bye bye

>>15252946
No

>>15252969
Have fun then

>>15252972
No. I'm always miserable.

>>15252990
Oops
