what changed?

Thesaurus Mac is a hack, and no one gives a fuck that your Edgy "You said I was a sissy for reading, but I'm a real man after all, ma!" Western

>>21228655
That's that new illustrated version.
>>21228656
Parents, more like. People want their children to read even if they don't themselves.

>>21229026
Parents and women are not mutually exclusive. I don't think many dads buy Harry Potter.

>>21228655
1) McCarthy is an overrated hack
2) Who the fuck cares what the lowest common denominator buys or reads?

Went to Barnes or Nobel and was surprised he didn't have a kiosk or something. Just half his own table.
Didn't buy book because cover is super ugly.

>I don't think many dads buy Harry Potter.
Why not? Most boys liked HP back in middle school (the ones who didn't read would at least watch the movies).

>>21228655
The reception of The Passenger really broke the insecure contrarians on /lit/.

>>21228660
this board became infested with pseuds. i haven't seen a good /wimpy/ discussion in years.

>>21228655
colleen hoover is way worse. every one of her books is about a textbook abusive dickhead. Unbelievable. girls read this shit, and then they fucking believe it.

>>21228655
That's a huge number for literary fiction. The novel's only been out 2 weeks.

>>21229334
When women read about abusive dickheads, their brains turn off and their vaginas moisturize.

>>21228655
Can someone explain how colleen hoover is charting so high?

I've though about reading it, but it really doesn't look like my cup of tea

>>21229354
Funny thing is, kinda looks like the character still likes hurting women...

Not very subtle either...

>>21228655
book sales counts are manipulated to give the appearance of success

That McCarthy, an old white guy who writes in a style that turns normies off, is outselling one of the better received books in the best selling YA fantasy novel series of all time is actually shockingly good. I have no idea why you would see this as anything other than a win for literature.

Imagine if this girl read American Psycho or something. It may not hold her attention because Bateman doesn't exclusively talk about women and the humor might fly over her head. Still

So are all the retarde anons going to fall for this again? She is tongue in cheek and specifically doing this to fuck with you

>>21229999
Impressive numbers but you aren't fooling anyone, roastie. Women are midwits by default but sexual arousal makes them literally braindead.

>>21229354
I liked hurting girls
>past tense
Mentally, not physically
>on the inside

what is the fucking purpose of writing this shit in the book. It's literally implicit in the original text, you don't need to make it even more obvious

Jesus Christ, I love women so much

You fags are too easy to troll. I love this broad

>>21230081
Stop samefagging. Here's a sample of prose celebrated by booktube roasties, they're borderline illiiterate. Make no mistake thogh, with the state of education as it is, this intellect on display should be enough to get her PhD in journalism, psychology or gender studies.

>>21230091
If you can’t tell the first girl was trolling with her annotations, I don’t know what to tell you. You are either autistic or oblivious

>>21230107
She most certainly isn't, you're just a simp or seething foid yourself. Those annotations correspond with any random booktok or booktube whore level of literary understanding: how "relatable" the characters are, how "easy to understand" the plot is, and how much "diversity" is there. Stop pretending that the female YA community isn't completely retarded.

>>21230126
I guess I can’t convince you otherwise, so whatever. Just know she got you good and her and many are laughing at people like you, who not only took the bait and the hook, but the sinker too

>>21230146
I can smell your cunt from here, just go away with your embarrassing e-whore apologia.

>>21230146
I thought the internet was over with the whole "joke's on you, I was pretending being retarded" thing.

i hate women so much it's unreal

>>21230162
I'm not saying that women aren't capable of humor (picrel is a good bookreview joke) but this particular booktok roastie - and the whole community in general - is genuinely retarded.

>>21230091
There is no way women actually think that's literary genius. You're fooling yourself. There's physical way for women to have devolved that much.

>>21230171
She posted good bait obviously and deserves the attention

>>21230091
if people weren't so obsessed nowanddays this could be the new "only one enemy remained"

>>21230198
Devolved? They were universally considered as second class second class people only good for sex and babies for about 98% of human history, and probably for a good reason.

Céline chads...Londres didn't even make the list...

he's over 9000 years old and running victory laps, shtitposting about quantum anal tunnelling and the quest for the niggs boson. to be even top whatever at that point is baller.

This gets me errytime

How the fuck is Harry Potter so popular it's still selling in the top 10? (And I'm assuming the other books are in the top 20s and 30s, Jesus fucking Christ).

there's a difference between rough-housing and out-right abuse. I have read A LOT of porn written by women, and enemies-to-lovers is a very popular trope, but it also involves the abuser very much having to redeem himself, or suffering karmatic justice, and it almost never crosses certain lines (unless of course it's a dead dove: do not eat story).

>>21228660
Nothing changed. /lit/ just stopped pretending to read.

I wonder how it compares to all his others. I saw that the road sold 156,000 initially, then millions when Oprah picked it up. Blood meridian sold like 1200, being an earlier work. Not sure about the rest

>>21230363
Inceline is garbage.

>>21231296
Awwww is the little tranny trying to spam his shitty meme? How cute! How long until you join the 41%?

>>21231414
Fact is one chud tried to shill Inceline's garbage here but even the other chuds realized it wasn't worth the time. I am just reminding.

Perhaps Plato was right about poets?
