>I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream
I picked up Ellison’s collection of short stories by this name and they were literally the worst things I’ve ever read in my life. Whenever anybody posts about IHNMAIMS or any of his other stories, I know I’m dealing with a retard.

I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream is legitimately godtier you filthy little pleb. Get the fuck out of my thread and never so much as set your sodden eyes upon a thread posted by I again on this board or any other!

The Divine Comedy and Paradise Lost are of entirely different tiers than the rest of your list

In a good sense or a bad sense. The Divine Comedy is the greatest thing I've ever read in my life, especially in the original Latin :smirk:

You may as well post fucking To Kill a Mockingbird if you're going to post your high school curriculum tier tastes in literature. God Damn. I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream? Are you for fucking real?

Half of those books are normie tier

You won't find any of my recommendations in the school library so I don't see the point in mentioning them but since you asked ill give you two books I like. I like Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy and The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera.

Is there anything actually wrong with Brave New World? Or does /lit/ hate it because some normies have read it?

>> No.15917705

>>15917612
Huxley is a good author but, funnily enough, Brave New World is probably his least interesting work. Point Counterpoint is an order of magnitude better and I've heard the same about Eyeless in Gaza. It's less bad than it is just culturally overexposed by the last decade or two of Americans being absurdly obsessed with the big dystopian novels.
The point isn't even that the books are bad, they aren't the worst. The point is that OP's list is indistinguishable from one you'd find by googling "good books" and looking through blogposts written by illiterate pajeets or autogenerated by text-combing bots to farm clicks. He's either a tourist or trolling.

It is freshman year curriculum tier shit. Not read by some normies but read by literally everyone.
