It miserable when women say they hate reading classic lit (because it’s ostensibly for men).When a woman says this they’re claiming that they’re either too stupid to understand, or that the gulf between the sexes so huge that they’re unable to appreciate any writing produced by the opposite. Why would you admit to being a retard who can’t understand the experience of different perspectives?

There are very few female authors I enjoy, theres probably some merit to this.

Those books sound great

an ex girlfriend gave me a copy of one hundred years of solitude. it was her favourite book.
i loved it. i miss her.

Lady Bovary is very so-called gfcore

>>15260574
I do not have a gf or a wife, but a girl once recommended I read Guy de Maupassant and it was a real solid rec. Other than that I mostly get good book recommendations from my grandmother who's a retired teacher of german; Stefan Zweig, Thomas Mann, and a bunch of great swedish literature. I only wish I'd have grown up sooner; she's in her mid 80s and lives several hours away, and I fear that she'll just be gone one day and I won't have had the chance to properly converse with her about our shared interest.

>>15260574
this is genuinely funny - pol told me women were incapable of this - what else is false!

She recommended me Three Men In A Boat which is still the funniest book I've ever read. Also The Emperor of Maladies which was a great read.

But do we need another "lol women are dumb and only read crap" thread?

Most times I just ignore their inane suggestions the only ones I've read on their recs were "The Handmaid's Tale" and "Matches" IIRC some book by a New York jew in Israel in the Israel army terrorizing Palestinians or whatever.
Didn't particularly care for either one, the latter was okay but kinda pointless the former was like clearly submissive erotic fetishist bullshit lol. Funnily enough when I returned "The Handmaid's Tale" to the library the chick there was all like omg that's my favorite book, should have segwayed that into banging her, she was a qt and I ended things with my gf soon after anyway.

My gf feels bad because she sees me reading and she’s doesn’t. I just tell her to read something and she‘ll try for five minutes and drop it for something else. She has a degree in anthropology.

Stop hating. Stop resenting monolithic concepts, misconceived or not, stop erecting bogeymen to roast at your mental alter.
Recognize that there are things to hate, individuals, but stop there too. It isn’t enough to hate individual women, or individual men, or even finding fault in yourself. *Recognize* why they say or behave in this way.

>>15262670
>Recognize that there are things to hate
Sort of like a tripfag?
