On The Road, before figuring out what a classic is

A farewell to Arms. Couldn't wait to finish it.

Heart of Darkness
Didn’t even have the helicopter attack on the village scene

Slaughterhouse-Five was the only Vonnegut book I read that I thought was genuinely enjoyable.

Anyhow, I think a lot of people don't like this book, but it is a "classic." Yet another case where the movie is better.

I fuckin HATE Hawthorne the punk ass little bitch.

>WAHH WAHH MY FAMILY PARTICIPATED IN THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS WAHH WAHH
>lemme just ignore the blossoming state of America's first intellectual movement to (poorly) copy the British Romantics

Why does anyone like this little bitch? Melville? Sick. Emerson? Sick. Dickinson? Sick. Whitman? Sick.

This guy sucks. He fucking sucks and I hate his pillowy ass hair and fucking degeneratly based bloodline.

Tess of D'ubervilles

>and I hate his pillowy ass hair and fucking him degeneratly

Wow ok quarreling lovers

I would have pounded his young ass with my eyes closed, imagining his soft little whimpers came from Keats instead.

>>17391011
Your literary "analysis" is puerile and embarrassing.

>>17391111
I didn't offer any "literary 'analysis'" you fucking buffoon. I just shit on him generally. I didn't look specifically at a single word or text. Youre a dunce. You don't even know the words you're using

>>17391118
The analysis you used to derive at your dumb opinions, obviously. You fucking buffoon.

>>17391146
>The analysis you used
You don't know these because I didn't offer them to you

>>17391111
Your 4channel post analysis is juvenile and delinquent.

>>17389780
What a fucking pleb

>>17391179
Don't worry, it's apparent. Feel free to try out the other boards where you'll feel more at home.

>>17391193
I'm so unsurprised that a Hawthorne defender is piss poor at arguing. Fuck you, anon. You like shitty literature that was the worst from the time and place it came from.

quints of truth

Don Quijote.
I read it in Spanish (in the high school) if that matters.

>The Great Gatsby
Confirmed for underage.

Tolstoy is pseud as fuck. Rich people are incapable of creating great art.
Luckily I found that out while reading his short stories, so I saved massive amounts of my valuable time by knowing he is shit without having to read 900 page novels.

>>17391217
>I managed to avoid his finest work
>ha! take that, tolstoy

You sure showed him. Meanwhile people will still be reading Tolstoy a hundred years after you died choking on a dick.

>>17391243
Short stories are the best way to find out the quality and style of a writer. If you can't write a decent short story, your novels are probably beyond terrible. There is almost no exception to this rule.

Kierkegaard's Either/Or
Nuff said

Crushing quads

Candide the simpcuck. Haven't read Leibniz yet but he must be supremely based if it inspired this antithesis.

>>17389447
I generally dislike nig-lit.
>To Kill A Mockingbird
>The Invisible Man
>The Color Purple
I also generally dislike nig-poetry. Maya Angelou, bell hooks, Du Bois, Langston Hughes. Blegh. Get over it, already.

>>17391217
You're the pseud. AK and W&P are absolute masterpieces of literature. You're blue balling yourself by not reading them. Also his strength comes out when he writes the brick books, he delivers his philosophy well and his character development is fantastic.

Frankenstein
Catcher in the rye

>>17389447
Crime and Punishment

>>17389780
This,except WH and Frankie. All other middlebrow sludge. 19th century English novel and Woolf can go fuck themselves.

To Kill a Mockingbird
María

I got halfway through before giving up. The personal writing style made me hate the author.

Don Quijote de la Mancha

>>17391193
Gay and also trans

Count of Monte Cristo

>>17393822
Is that Benedict Cumberpatch and Regina Spektor?

>>17389447
>lord of the flies
was boring as shit

this

Pretty much all of them really.

>>17389785
same

>>17392473
Have you read any James Baldwin?

>>17390981
And the prequel, young Frankenstein was even better

Wasted many hours reading this trash.

Endless descriptions of luxury and wealth.

Irredeemably bourgeois.

>>17395111
You dropped a Dumas book of all things, less than a hundred pages in?

>>17389447
The Dubliners, except for a few stories it was boring. I don't get expecially the last story: the epiphany at the end is beautiful, but all the pages before talk about this boring party full of uninspired characters, Imho

>>17395122
Dumbass book

>>17389531
I didn’t despised those but I did find them underwhelming

>>17395142
problem is that, for the most part, the stories are boring but with great endings. an odd book - comfy tho

>>17395142
I didn’t know I could read something so ridiculously fucking dumb that I don’t even know how to respond to it. You must read sci-fi and fantasy almost exclusively to have such a horrible opinion.

The Picture of Dorian Gray

Just terrible.

>>17389780
Frankenstein?? Seriously man? Jane Eyre is ok at best but it's not horrible. The attic lady is a fun part

>>17395195
You can't do it because you're a retarded Npc

>>17395111
What
That book is probably one of the best I’ve read

>>17391217
Just read ‘ The Death of Ivan Llych’ and it was masterful. You may be the pseud

>>17394183
Read it again in 10 years after you wake up from your naïveté.

>>17389447
Probably Infinite Jest, starting to like it now.
