Ok Anon not like I don't get the sentiment, but that's overkill.

I don't read.

No it's mainly by accident
I never read Harry Potter as a kid, just Tolkien and a few other YA things

>>20543419
I am a guy. Why would I read female authors?

>>20543419
I just got finished with Lord of The Rings, and I'm only halfway through the Dune series. Next I'm reading Gene Wolfe/PKD. And after that... probably Andy Weir. There's no female author on the horizon, and frankly, I don't give a fuck because my male backlog is so massive.

This is how you talk to women

The only female books I've read in my life are HP and Frankenstein (actually written by a man). There are so many good books out there, you'd practically have to go out of your way to find a woman's worth reading

Reading is my escape from the femoid personality

>>20544857
No, editors don’t count. Frankenstein is a work written by a woman. An author like her mother and father

>>20543419
I could kill that woman with a single strike.

>>20544956
Women are superior to men because they can fluster one and make them seethe without ever meeting them

>>20543475
Based. I thought her style of fiction was a little too extravagant and needlessly lengthy, but I enjoyed AS and TF thoroughly and even wept at parts. Rand has a strong message that it's hard for some people to understand.

>>20545016
Women are hated because they're simultaneously everything and nothing. They pass the most important judgement, yet have no other telos. When artificial wombs are finally created - which they will be, capitalism demands it - that will be the end of women and eventually the end of humanity.

>>20545039
That’s fine by me. You all can have the artificial wombs and I’ll take all the girls

>>20545050
No reason we both can't have both. The value of pussy will collapse like nothing you could ever imagine.

Affirmative action really infects every industry

Women spend all day on twitter, IG, and TikTok shitting on men. YWNBAW

>>20544945
Solid answer. I'll accept it.

>>20545110
I’m not talking about entertainment or sexual activity. I’m talking about loneliness

>>20543419
One with the biggest ass and tiddies of them all.

>>20545122
Anon, dopamine numbs pain. They will never realize they're lonely, they'll just think they're not consooming enough.

>>20545131
No, those are escapes they use for loneliness. Most realize that. Every hear the phrase “lonely in the middle of a crowd”? Most people desire genuine human connection

>>20545143
Nah I think you're commiting a typical mind fallacy. Sorry Anon, normies are just too dumb and far less sensitive than you. The culture itself is also starting to turn increasingly atomized.

>>20545148
Ask a drug or sex addict if they are happy

>>20545153
You're just bringing up edge cases. Also there's a social element to it - i.e. an entertainment addict will most likely say that they are in fact happy.

why yes, ackshually my favourite novel was penned by a dame. it's Memoirs of Hadrian by Marguerite Yourcenar... perhaps you're familiar with her, fair damsel?...BWAHAHA! of course you aren't. dohoho...

>>20545168
Happiness is transient and good and bad times pass. Everyone desires to be more content and in a better situation than they are

What male readers? The entire publishing industry is carried by female consumers, why would any author give a shit about a tiny, declining demographic when you can source all the shekels, film and TV deals and prestige from an exclusively female reader base? Of course, women still perceive males as authorities on “good taste” to an extent…but as the real and perceived social and economic status of women continues to increase, they’ll have even less reason to care.

Last time this happened I lied and claimed it was Blavatsky. I actually see her as a total joke after reading Guenon's (pbuh) takedown on Theosophists and haven't read any of her work at all, but she was the first female author that came to mind and thinking for too long would have made me look autistic. Which I probably am, but I don't want to look the part.

I don’t know why but they do.
They desperately crave male validation. Not enough to stop writing werewolf billionaire schlick fantasies but they still write Guardian articles about men who don’t read female writers. They blame the male reader for their failure to be interested rather than the female writer for failing to entertain. Like I said, they’re the incels of the literary world.

>>20546197
Because their wombs lust for seed of course.

You can't go wrong with the classics, as they have passed the trial of time, and I don't have much time to read, so I read them.

You either need to read more or just read more widely. The other sex doesn't lack for good writers (although it is mostly lesbians who make up that number).

I've said it once and I'll say it again: the only way that you get a male protagonist as effeminate as Victor Frankenstein (he gets fucking PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS when he "conceives" and "births" the monster and faints constantly) is if it was written by a woman. If Percy had written it, 90% of the book would have been the last 4 chapters where he hunts the monster in his self destructive quest for revenge.

Honestly, I love her prose. She exaggerates a bit in Atlas, but in The Fountainhead and in We the Living it's absolutely perfect. It's at the same time descriptive and polemical, her polemics have enormous rhetorical power, and despite how long her novels usually are none of the words feel unnecessary. In those two novels she also excels a lot in characterization. Peter Keating and Gail Wynand are some of the best written characters in English-language 20th century literature.

I'm pretty far from being an Objectivist, but I genuinely admire Rand as a writer and think most of the shit she gets is due to her political positions and personal behavior.

>Oh, I'm currently reading the works of Hajime Kanzaka, it's very funny, there is a scene where the bad guys capture the main heroine and have an issue where they can't decide who has to rape her
>One is a fish with legs and is simply incapable of raping her
>One is a wolfman-troll hybrid who finds her so horribly disgusting he can't get hard
>One is a Knight with an oath of celibacy, and
>the last is a human chimera who can't get hard with screaming women
>It is so hilarious and wacky, what are your favorite funny rape scenes? Besides the one in your immenent future hohohoho

The Gospel of Mary is my answer.

Catherine of Siena was batshit crazy. She has no business being a saint.

I guess being legit anorexic counts as insane but she was aware of it and just didn't understand why she threw up everything up to death.

I never read this. Does it mention how the entire reason Achillies stayed in his tent and watched his fellow Achaeans get slaughtered was that he was made about his sex slave being taken away from him?

Most saints are, paradoxically, not people who should be imitated.

I don’t know, I don’t read books by women

Well, I like “The Giver”. I wouldn’t say Lois Lowry is a favorite though. Edith Hamilton’s mythology is fantastic but I still haven’t read Robert Graves so I can’t compare yet.

Honestly Ella is one of the few actual IRL people that I would consider stunningly beautiful.
