English, French, German, Russian, Irish, Spanish... We all have one type that we're fond of the most. What is yours, anon? How did you come to it? Was it gradual ou instant? Did it supplant another?
Also, do you have one type you absolutely hate?

Let's hear it!

I like French literature, especially from the 19th century. There's not a national literature that I hate but I hate Brazilians. I just don't see the point of their existence.

Polish because it's my native one. English and German in addition to that because those are the only languages I can read fluently

I'm very Anglophile and being Australian i have a fondness for my native lit.
I don't really have a high opinion of American lit. I think they've produced remarkably little of quality for such a big country.

I'm sorry but I hate French literature.

One day I decided I wanted to look into French philosophy. Someone recommended some guy called Sade and his book philosophy in the bedroom. It was literally about some pedophiles who groom a girl, then gang bang her. Then they get her horribly abused mother, whose worried about her to come and try to pick her up. But they take the little girls mom, sow her ass shut with a sowing needle, and rape her before they send both back to the father.

Ever since that I get salty over French literature. It's almost always either coom or some retarded communist/marxist bullshit. Camus is good though, I like his philosophy of Absurdism, but other then that, mostly garbage.

What are some other non-retarded French philosophers?

Philosophy is not literature.

For bleak depictions of reality, there's no one else like the russians, I feel in love inmediatedly with Dostoyevski's White Nights, then I read Mashenka by Nabokov and some other Dostoyevsky books.

I also love german folktales.

I loved it. You have to be in a doomer faulkneresque mood, though.
>2666 (I remember scenes from it regularly)
Lots of interesting parts. Like the part where they stuck a knife in the guy's ass in jail.

can someone argue pro/against italian lit? I'm on the verge of learning italian because I like dante, but is the lit worth it?

Mounier, Marion, Merleau-Ponty, there are plenty.
