So this is the most beloved book on this board? It's hard to find something we can all agree upon here. What are some other books which everyone on /lit/ likes? My second vote goes to either Blood Meridian or any number of the Classics.

Probably. Call of the Crocodile is the most blown away I've been by a twist ending in a while. Kept my attention more than anything else you guys recommended me before. Blood Meridian is alright. It has some pacing issues but the character's are fleshed out decently. Much longer than it needs to be but it's okay I guess.

>The classics
Depends on which ones you're referring to. Some of them yes. Some of them are just boring. You can't just lump them all into one as "the classics." I don't know why so many people do that.

That’s exactly what you’re doing with your book. You’re obviously the writer and trying to ride F Gardner’s coattails. Because everyone here knows what Call of the Crocodile is but no one has ever heard of your book.
Instead of insulting Call of the Crocodile why not just reach out to Gardner? He already helps other creators and &amp from this board. You would know this is you spent time in the Writing Generals.

Instead of being mean spirited and desperately shilling you should learn to collaborate with others from this board.

Gardner, genuine question, why do you keep trying to shill this piece of crap based on it having a twist ending? I don't know anyone who looks for books based on whether they have a good twist or not, and it seems silly when you can just lie more generically and say that it's a good story.

I think, in his mind, that twist might be the closest thing the book has to what can be considered a "positive" quality. He's clearly a tard, the book is clearly a waste of time and there is no need to engage with him.
