>warning signs in a man's bookshelf
6 & 7 are statements, she didn't get far.

Not literary, but any girl whose favorite movie is Amélie is to be avoided.

>>17975597
This thread again.
Lolita and Fathers and Sons are two of my favorite books, and they're on my shelf but I don't have to say it. I have Pale Fire, too, to make it look like I didn't just gravitate towards Lolita.

I have three Hemingways, is that too much? And one Ayn Rand book, but I just happen to have it and have never read it; I actually put it in the shelf upstairs in the guest room.

Only #1 is a real warning sign on a man's bookshelf. #3 is something you will see on a woman's, not on any man's.

>>17975597
I don't care about twitter shit but only absolute pieces of shit dislike Fathers and Sons, it isn't even my favorite Turgenev book, but you are not allowed to have that opinion

>>17975597
Too little Hemingway

>>17975665

>>17975675
That is actually my favorite Turgenev book but it doesn't "mog it hard", nor do I think that's what she's referring to

Warning signs in a Woman's bookshelf ?
1. Any feminist drivel
2. 'How to the happy' books
3. Esoteric Nonsense
4. Only romance novels
Any more ?

>>17975707
*2. 'How to be happy' books

>>17975707
5- Poetry
6- 'How to be a bad bitch vol. 3'
7- Some psychoanalytical bullshit to let you know she's smart and shit
8- 50 Shades (probably 30<, single)
9- "I haven't read that one yet, I just like how [author]..."

>>17975734
>I haven't read that one yet, I just like how [author]...
Don't see anything wrong with this if the intention is to eventually read it.

>Never read Infinite Jest
>I haven't read Hemingway
>Never read Bukowski but he seems like one of those "le based" guys who just come off as cringey to me
>I have Ayn Rand (Anthem, Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, some more but I don't think I have her actual philosophical books)
>I have Goethe (The Sorrows..., Faust, Theory of Colors, Wilhelm Meister series, etc.)
How is this a problem? Who hates Goethe? How is this a red-flag? His approach to science is strange and wonderful and his literature and poetry is masterful. What is this bitch's problem?
>Lolita
Sorry, not a pedo. Was almost going to read it but /lit/ convinced me not too. The topic is just too cringeworthy for me and I don't see why I should force myself to look at it; there are better things I could be thinking about.
>Fathers and Sons
Never read this, might some day.

>>17975830
I should clarify that I unfortunately don't speak German but I am trying to learn it now.
For Goethe I've had to rely on translations unfortunately.

>>17975597
How is Goethe a warning sign? A warning sign for what, good taste?

>>17975828
You have clearly never interacted with art hoes and basic /lit/ bitches. They never read them, they just relate to the author's air of je ne sais quoi. Before going to back to reread 50 shades for the nth time and fiddling with the bookmark on some psychosexual bullshit by Foucault.

>>17975873
Sure, but do we need to call *that* out, as opposed to the other 90 'warning signs' / 'red flags'? Why call out one that isn't necessarily a red flag without context?

if you start judging women by what they read, you're never gonna get any
women read more than men on average (as most people don't even read at all), but they waste their time with retarded best sellers, romantic comedies and YA
I don't particularly have a problem with any of that
one thing that pisses me off though is when they "organize" their shelves by book colour
that's the clue that they actually don't give a shit about reading, and think of books as decoration

It's implied autismo. I get that you do it too, don't take it too personal and stop looking into shitposts too much, it's unhealthy.

I think she's assuming that the only way to love Fathers and Sons is to think Bazorov is based, whereas I actually thought he was a flawed misguided guy who was kind of a jerk but really connected with Arkady and loved the beautiful nuanced portrayal of generational conflict that still rings true

>>17975906
I actually think a grill could appreciate Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship and his more cute writings on plants.

Whats wrong with goethe

The amount of Goethe-cope in this thread is staggering

>>17975851
>>17975906
>>17975963
Nothing. She's throwing that in there to make you uncomfortable as a power play. It could have been any other great writer (Homer, Dante, Cervantes, Dostoevsky, etc). The simp brain will go 'Oh, I'm a good guy because I don't have IJ or Ayn Rand or a Hemingway hardon' and think that he's therefore a "good guy" and a good ally to women/etc. Throwing in a random good writer is supposed to then make him think 'oh shit maybe I'm not, I'd better supplicate to this girl even more so she likes me.'

You really need to see through this shit. Read what you like; don't curate your reading or your shelves to please some pseudo-twitter-feminist.

Literary Red Flags on a Woman's Bookshelf
1. Eat, Pray, Love
2. Too much Young Adult literature
3. Any amount of Frommer's
4. WHITE FRAGILITY
5. Twilight or Fifty Shades of Grey
6. "Harry Potter is my favorite book."
7. "Wurthering Heights is my favorite book."

>>17976001
>Wurthering Heights
Yum.

>>17976001
Whelp, that's all of them. Women, I mean.

>>17975992
I'm not trying to please anyone. I'm genuinely curious as to why someone would consider Goethe problematic.

>>17976017

>>17975830
>>17975851
>>17975906
>>17975963
I suppose her problem with goethe is the age gap between Faust and Gretchen

>>17975894
i actually like it when people sort their bookshelf by color, it makes it very easy to spot idiots who think stacking their shitty ya romance and unread nyt besteller popnonfiction as decoration gives of an intellectual vibe. you can completely ignore every single "opinion" these people hold. it's like they're putting up a sign in their flat that says "lazily programmed npc"

>>17975597
But a copy of Infinite Jest that’s been handled with care and a bookmark is okay. Also what does she have against Fathers and Sons? Seems like she just picked all the classics she could think of and made them out to be The Most Dangerous White Male Literature

Also Gnosticism and hermeticism are based, get off my board

>>17976245

>>17975851
She probably read some god awful article about how the sorrows of young werther is a proto incel novel.

>>17976265
huh?

>>17975894
It's rather garish too. Like why would you want your shelves to look like someone went over them with a paint roller.

>>17975608
I don't know, if she has crystals and tarot cards she probably posts on /x and I'm okay with that.

It kind of is, though. I interpreted that long before the word "incel" came about.
It actually helped me quit pining over girls like a pussy. I read it as a comedy.

>>17975941
>10- White Fragility
This on its own could be fine, but if she has more than one of those pop-antiracism books that all essentially say the same thing, run.

Women? Hmmm.

>alternate history where the Nazis won
>Lolita, because they vastly view it as a genuine love story
>Handmaid's Tale, because it's gets every last one of them wet as fuck and they yearn for for that life yet they all lie and call it a horror

I could think of more but then I'd have to think about how relentlessly stupid women are.

It's short for "Young Adult." Generally YA literature is just gussied up children's literature, but without any of the useful didacticism of traditional children's literature. YA literature also generally the maturity and complications that help make adult/real literature meaningful. People often stall out reading YA literature because it's fun and easy, and then never move on to work that would actually allow them to stretch and grow.

>>17976435
No, but suicide cults were a thing people got worked up about after Sorrows of Young Werther. Very similar to the reaction to that Netflix show '13 reasons why' or whatever it was called.

I'm about 10% into Father and Sons and have no idea what its reputation is other than a few words Gaddis said about it (apparently Turgenev was sympathetic to the younger generation but the book was misread by his peers).

This. Owning a book does not necessarily mean one agrees with, likes, or approves of its content. I personally own a copy of the Communist Manifesto. However, one rarely has a series of books that one disagrees with. The CM is the only Marxist book I own.

Lolita is my favoirite book
How could anyone get off to the idea of removing a loli's clothes and licking her tiny body all over, nibbling her neck and kissing her adorable little nipples? Only a heartless monster would think about her cute girlish mouth and tongue wrapped around a thick cock slick with her saliva, pumping in and out of her mouth until it erupts, the cum more than her little throat can swallow. The idea of thick viscous semen overflowing, dribbling down her chin over her flat chest, her tiny hands scooping it all up and watching her suck it off her fingertips is just horrible. You're all a bunch of sick perverts, thinking of spreading her smooth slender thighs, cock poised at the entrance to her pure, tight, virginal pussy, and thrusting in deep as a whimper escapes her lips which are slippery with cum, while her small body shudders from having her cherry taken in one quick stroke. I am disgusted at how you'd get even more excited as you lean over her, listening to her quickening breath, her girlish moans and gasps while you hasten your strokes, her sweet pants warm and moist on your face and her flat chest, shiny with a sheen of fresh sweat, rising and falling rapidly to meet yours. It is truly nasty how you'd run your hands all over her tiny body while you violate her, feeling her nipples hardening against your tongue as you lick her chest, her neck and her armpits, savoring the scent of her skin and sweat while she trembles from the stimulation and as she reaches her climax,hearing her cry out softly as she has her first orgasm while that cock is buried impossibly deep inside her, pulsing violently as an intense amount of hot cum spurts forth and floods through her freshly-deflowered pussy for the first time, filling her womb only to spill out of her with a sickening squelch. And as you lie atop her flushed body, she murmurs breathlessly, "You came so much inside of me", then her fingers dig into your back as she feels your cock hardening inside again.

also the passive aggression towards individualist shit like ayn when she really should be more appealing to independent "male minded" women than the type of girl to unironically read handmaid after watching the netflix show because of the cool red hats and the sex

>>17975597
I think about this tweet a lot. Almost all of them are super obvious basic bitch tier literary opinions, and there's just "Goethe is problematic" and I can't figure out why. Which book is she referring to? All of his books are radically different in style, so what could she possibly be complaining about? I actually can't think of anything plausible. I never saw Goethe as an author that "certain types" read because his science, Werther, Faust, elective affinities all have unrelated groups who read them. They don't even read like they were from the same author

>>17976727
youre a retard

The red flags depend on the person. If a girl has a bunch of YA crap, whatever. If a girl has a bunch of YA crap and is pretentious, the relationship isn't going to last.

>>17976810
Half of these are just marvel-tier fanfiction

>>17976886
I just find it amusing how aggressive these types get when rand is brought up because it threatens their image of petulant pseudo independence where they get their cake and eat it too and they still want you to treat them like a randian hero thus subverting the very concept
it's obscenely perverse

Infinite Jest totally shits on modern pop culture and Twitter and those racial convictions these people hold. I know most people here haven't read it and neither has she. There are parts in which DFW makes fun of radical feminism and parts in which he says black people are just as racist as white people. He also shits on the "weed and chill" mentality

>>17975597

you do not understand the ideology, how can you tell if it is implemeted?
and what are those results? industrialising shithole countries, giving people literacy and education and greatly reducing economic inequality sounds pretty decent when the alternative barely works for a select few and comes with the same horrible atrocities.

>>17977005
>what happens when this ideology is implemented,
Except it was always implemented in the context of globohomo where capitalism still pervaded the sentiment. Stalinism, Maoism, Leninism etc are all mutations of Marxist philosophy and look where that pervasion left the CCP. Reading more into the theory will just help contextualize a lot of things when we suddenly realize we're all living under Xi style authoritarian capitalism in a decade or 2.

He's popular, which isn't so bad in itself, but he's also well read to the point of making frequent allusions to other literary titans that he eventually gets discussed in their company; which, given his persona, subject matter, dismissive attitude and simple prose, probably rubs a lot of people the wrong way.

>when the alternative barely works for a select few
The alternative worked wonderfully for industrializing and educating other places. And don't invoke the colonies, because every brand of dysfunction which occurred in capitalist colonies was recapitulated in the Second World countries also. Famine? look at Ethiopia. Extractive trade? look at the other Soviet republics beyond Russia. Destruction of local culture in the name of "advancement"? look at Siberia.
the only part of communism that works universally is reducing wealth inequality, because stealing is pretty easy. But on the other hand, wealth inequality is a meme argument and a literal appeal to envy.
Anyways, all industrial societies are doomed to a dehumanizing materialism and capitalism is no solution either

>>17975599
this is the best one so far

>>17977142
Rereading the CM with Marx’s letters and notable communist personal writings shows it to be a weak and almost deceitful work. The revolution it describes would have to be engineered, Marx himself admits it, and communism/socialism simply lead to tyranny. The distinction between the two nowadays was much weaker in the past, with communism seen as a current that would lead to a socialist ideal (iirc) but in actuality was the endgoal itself.

Real communism has been tried, and it has failed beyond basic tribalistic groups. Segmenting it into groups like Stalinism just deflects blame. One can criticize Capitalism or any philosophy without automatically agreeing with the philosophy commonly seen as its opponent.

it discusses the incel thing very well, but Werther is just an obsessive idiot

>>17975597
Putting Goethe on the same list as the rest of these is an absolute crime.

If I was to use books as decorative objects then I would rather opt for book panels like pic related. They look much more aesthetic and cheaply done.

Id rather have an anal prolapse than read that.

So, by reading books like the one in this image, I can grow as a man? Thank you very much.

This is clearly a woman who just had a bad break up with her boyfriend who liked these books

I once had a wall of artificial books like this until a woman I'd been dating came over and was all excited when she saw my "library". She tried to pull out one of the books, but it obviously didn't even budge. Then she turned to me with this what-the-fuck face and I was so alarmed by her reaction that my hair piece fell off

>you need to understand shit to know you disagree with it
This is only partially true. You only need to understand the fundamental flaw of something to disregard everything else that is built on that flaw. If you saw a 300 page theorem claiming to disprove 1 + 1 = 2, one would not thoroughly immerse oneself and try to figure out every nook and cranny of said theorem, one would only look for the basic flaw which allowed them to construct an invalid argument, which allows you to simply disregard everything else.

I don’t own any David Foster Wallace although I read Oblivion and Consider the Lobster and liked both

Although Hemingway is not my favorite writer of all time, I do own a lot of his stuff. I really like A Farewell to Arms, a Moveable Feast, and the Nick Adam’s stories.

Never read any Bukowski nor found him all that appealing

I liked the Fountainhead alright when I read it as a teenager, although she’s not the best literary writer.

I don’t get what’s wrong with Goethe. I don’t own him but have read Faust and Werther and liked both.

I like Lolita a lot but it’s not my favorite book. Still, I think I’ve read it 3 times. I like The Gift and Pale Fire as well.

Fathers and Sons is awesome. Russian Literature in translation is probably what makes up the most of my personal library. Also, A Sportsman’s Sketches is awesome.

>>17982195
A Sportsman’s Sketches is one of my favorites. It’s disappointing that not many here mention it

>she reads cosmo

Any woman could read and enjoy 'elective affinities' seeing as its about relationships and all.

>>17976415
>I´m new here
go back

>>17975597
I guarantee you Fathers and Sons was her ex's favorite book. That's the only reason it made the list.

I suspect that the Goethe and 'Fathers and Sons' references are aimed at a specific guy she knows who likes those books, and as >>17982871 suggests, it's probably an ex. All the other books/authors are obvious ones that you'd expect on some list like this, though I am surprised there's no mention of Fight Club or Cormac McCarthy, some of the others that blue checkmarks usually harp on about.

>>17975597
Not having old books

>>17975597
Any book on a woman's shelf is a red flag.
Letting them read was a mistake from the start.
Keep them ignorant and divided, they won't be able to do shit then.

>she's got crystals and tarot cards run away
Mostly likely means she fucks like a beast though. True story

>>17975913
Are you fucking retarded? Goethe was writing literature during the Enlightenment era

>>17983604
this, crystals and tarot cards are a good sign if you don't want to breed and just want to fuck.

Who the fuck cares about what girls have to say, straight people are so fucking dumb damn

On the same note, you should ask why are IJ and Hemingway lumped in there?


She genuinely doesn't understand the authors, and the only way she can make herself feel better is if she makes pathetic men feel bad for enjoying something she can't. Get a grip.

>>17975830
Lose weight.

there are no literary red flags. no book on a shelf, no matter how retarded it is, can ultimately say anything real about the person.

>>17976534
I have plenty of books I disagree with. My bookshelf looks kinda schizo desu because it's all Marxist, anarchist, and fascist (in the broad sense) books and I only agree with mayb 5% of it.

>>17976708

>>17975873
They read war and peace, and then think of themselves as intellectuals.

>>17981724
that's pathetic. Most interesting books, are cringe for the NPC's mind. You should hide them instead of show them off.
Wasn't people killed for having the legendary book of thot?

>>17975597
Assuming this is a real tweet I'm almost certain Goethe is shopped in considering normalfag readers and SJW twitter types wouldn't even know who he is.

This is the weirdest one to me. You'd think she'd go with Dostoevsky ('wash your penis' connotations) or even Tolstoy if only for being a quintessential (maybe THE quintessential) 'white male Great Novelist', as with DFW. But Turgenev? What?
