Hey /lit/ here's my summer reading list:
The Life of Pi and The Old Man in the Sea, OR
I, Robot by Asimov and The Illustrated Man by Bradbury

Any suggestions or comments?

>> No.1920080

Stop posting on /lit/ and read all of them
If that is all you are reading you obviously read very slow, so get on it.

Also, shitty choices IMO.

Life of Pi is pretentious crap.

How so? I read it in highschool and wasn't crazy about it but I wouldn't say it was pretentious. I feel that word is thrown around a lot these days.

basically, yeah. He's got his own style and actually is unique, but that doesn't make it good. He posts here (virulently) and that's the only reason it comes up so often.
