not a Libertarian. her novels were... rather odd, not guna lie, i can see how hard she tried to make her point, but it was really just over dramatic. i did appreciate her essays more, even though- the people helping to write them were more profound than she was.

her start was there conclusion.

What?

>>1873466

Yup. I expect people to know two of them anyway. I think the third might be a little unknown. I don't know though.

It wasn't meant as an insult. It was rather just that everyone in the thread had people like Vonnegut and Hemmingway and shit, so it was sort of a combobreaker. The guy above me also had Feynman though. Brofist.

Hemingway, Lovecraft, Kafka

>>1873352

Holy shit, are you me?

I don't think I can say that I have 'favorites' but here are three I find myself (re)reading most often.

1. Hemingway--cliche, but I'm being honest.
2. James Joyce: I had to read "Dubliners" for a course and though at first I disliked him, his portrayal of people in the midst of paralysis (mostly due to their own doing) won me over.
3. I'm quite fond of Raymond Carver's short stories.

Lovecraft, G.K. Chesterton, Zoé Oldenbourg

V.S. Naipaul
Christopher Marlowe
Jean Baudrillard

>>1873639
Late teens/early twenties.
You are developing your taste, but haven't really settled on identifying what exactly you like to read, OR what exactly you like to write about. You (rightfully) feel superior and smarter than many of your friends, but you still haven't reached a truly intellectual level, although you are making good progress.

Montaigne
Barthes
John D'Agata

I don't think I'm trying hard enough.

I'm only reading Flaubert in English because I can't speak French, though learning French is on my to-do list.

If you didn't, you went through a LOLSORANDUM phase and now (rightfully) despise shitty subcultures. You are above and beyond >that level of tragic pseudo-questing for identity.

>>1873759
Damn, I thought I would be spot on with the first bit. Montaigne and Barthes are so self-reflexive, it seemed inconceivable to me that anyone could enjoy them without identifying with that aspect.

You would be surprised about people's apathy for understanding, too, but I think your point is valid for the literature board

>>1873736
yeah, i don't give a flying fuck about the low culture.I like Tolstoy and some Vonnegut, too, but i could only list three

go read your shitty Maugham or something.

>>1874166
Don't know what ritzy fucking prep school you attended, but of those, Shakespeare is about the only one universally read in high school. Milton might get touched in a Brit Lit course, maybe a poem here or there. I've never heard of anyone reading Moliere in HS.

Bob Hicok
Gabriel Marcia Marquez
Kurt Vonnegut

>>1874166

Post? I'm from TX and we read a shit load of Shakespeare and we read Paradise Lost. No Moliere, though. It is "English" class, after all. Well, we did read some Maupassant, I believe.

>>1874186

Well that is an awful outlook on life. Nothing should be entry level. Everyone reads and understands at their own pace.

>>1874202

True, but entirely unrealistic. There's gotta be some standard for what literature people are exposed to academically, since there are some things that just should be read, so you can understand the development of culture, as well as identifying symbolism.

Moliere is AP Euro History tier

>>1874211
But there are so many elements of Milton and Shakespeare specifically that become elucidated as one ages. I enjoy reading Shakespeare and have done so for many years.

I don't have favorite authors, really. I'll just list some that I've read more than one work by and have enjoyed.

In HS I didn't understand 1984. It was beyond the comprehension of a pissant teenager that could fuck any chick and whip any dudes ass he wanted. It wasn't until I got older, started getting in trouble for doing the same stupid shit I did in my teens and seeing the way things actually were outside of that little bubble, that I learned to appreciate it. Anyways, entry-level, smizny level......

I'm actually a huge existentialist. I almost put Nietzsche and Sartre but figured I'd go with the more "literary" authors.

I hated track; I ran Cross Country. And I definitely do know what endurance means - I just finished Remembrance of Things Past, the whole thing.
