Wanna fight? Also, unironically Atlas Shrugged.

Pic related but it’s kind of what he was going for. Maybe less self awareness is needed to fit into this category

>>16080569
That neverending Darger book about kids getting tortured and fighting back which was considered high art despite being literal schizo ramblings

>>16080569
The poetry of William McGonagall. Famous excerpt (from "The Tay Bridge Disaster"):

Oh! Ill-fated bridge of the silv'ry Tay,
I now must conclude my lay
By telling the world fearlessly without the least dismay,
That your central girders would not have given way,
At least many sensible men do say,
Had they been supported on each side with buttresses
At least many sensible men confesses,
For the stronger we our houses do build,
The less chance we have of being killed.

This guy knows his shit.

Also pic related. There is a Youtube series where someone talks you through the highlights of this, and other Onision books, and it's a lolfest.

Belinda Blinked also comes to mind.

what is this about?

The Synthesis of the Objective and the Subjective.
Also La Grande Nouvelle by Jean-Pierre Brisset, in short the author develop the idea that man comes, devils and angels all come from frogs and that the French language (which is the first and purest language) directly comes from the language of frogs. He shows it by very creative etymologies of the French words, for instance the verb "avoir", meaning "to have", comes from the fact that frogs have to grab things with their tongues to have them. Similarly the world ending in -logy all find their etymoligies from the fact that -logy sound likes "logis", meaning "house" in French. For instance, neology come from "né au logis" (born in the house) and geology from "j'ai au logis" (i have at the house). Similarly, latin have to be analysed with French words: "mea culpa" becomes "met-à-cul le pas" (walk at the level of you ass).
I'll try to talk about similar authors tomorrow if the thread is still alive but I'm drunk as fuck right now.

>What is the so terrible it's good of literature?
Literally no such thing. If it's bad I stop reading it. "So bad it's good" is spitball culture for Redditors.

>>16085222
Wrong. "So bad it's good" is a legitimate kind of entertainment, especially if you're familiar with the medium enough to know exactly what's wrong with it. You aren't watching Troll 2 for its merit as a film. You're basically watching it as nonfiction, as documentation of the comedy of errors that was the execution of that film. This can also apply to /lit/, though in this case it only works in much smaller doses before it gets boring. I remember my wife coming home to show me a short story one of her unofficially retarded English students wrote that was a combination sequel to The Hobbit and Skyrim. I got infinitely more joy out of reading this than I ever would have gotten out of a story that was merely okay. It was hilarious and charmingly sincere. Your "everything is Reddit" attitude is a contrarian reaction to the recent mainstream popularity of terrible movies. Stop letting people you don't like dictate how you feel about things.

>>16085222
there's nothing wrong with reddit

Imagine if the book was written in comic sans. The retardation could be excused as satire.

>>16081054
This reminds me of Jordan Peterson.
