You all must want to be as cool as this guy

>>23012547
When he says "hardest novels" he means that they are long or what?

>>23012551
The profundity of his literary review rivals the turgid proses of Waldun and Northope Frye. This guy is intelligent and insightful

>>23012547
Although I'm in agreement that this in cringe vanity, berating a man’s social media posts as ‘uncool’ is very female behaviour.

>>23012557
Here’s his GR review >>23012559
along with this final exquisite deconstruction.

>>23012565
berating? Uncool? Dude, I want to be this guy. He’s got the style. The highest of hight brow taste. WASTE mailing list follows him. I want to be him

>>23012551

What a fag? Has he written anything? As in, is he a novelist or somethign? Why is he still doing the hipster thing when it died out ten years ago?

>>23012547
wow that's an epic picture frame

>>23012587
Just a bernhard lover living life doing book reviews on instagram

>>23012586
I agree that is an stylish shirt. Sadly a pleb like me who pirates all his books is to miserly to buy fancy clothes.

>>23012547
the same anon who constantly seethes over nyrb and "truelit" made this thread. very insecure guy!

>>23012603
Didn’t even know /fa/ chads existed in the LitFic world. I am jelly

>>23012586
lmao men are finally learning from women

>>23012587
If he's getting regular pussy I'm not knocking the strat

>>23012605
Meds. Now.

>>23012547
Ah the meme trilogy

Is Gravity's Rainbow a hard book to read? I know it has a bunch of characters.

>>23013703
Yes, infinite jest is the odd one out. Teenage girls can read that shit with ease.

>>23012551
Gotta get him copies of The Shitkickers, Call of the Crocodile, and an old copy of &Amp that Ari jizzed on

>>23013716
Guess I'll have fun reading it then.

>>23012547
>being that proud of bad taste

>>23012547
> literally social media
Huh?
> social media
Huh?
> social media presence
Huh?

Wtf you're talking about?

What is wrong with the jews

>>23012557
It's the ancient /lit/ meme triology.

>>23012547
>tattoos
Didn't read

I want to hang up framed prints of portraits in my room but I don't know where to get started

>>23012551
He takes his coffee black, like his men.

>>23012551
When was the last time a girl congratulated you on reading Ulysses, anon?

>>23012547

Isn't "The Sorrows of Young Werther" the German novel that gets people to commit suicide?

>>23012574
There's something about a dude who reads a complex book and goes "wow that was crazy I have no idea what happened" that makes you realize maybe reading a book isn't all that much of an achievement. Then again you know he fucks

>>23012547
This man looks genuinely based. Has artwhores gagging for him in the comments. He clearly gets a lot of NYC pussy, as well. He looks like an ex-opioid addict who's brain isn't complete mush. And from what I've seen of his posts his house looks pretty nice. Not sure if it's his or his parents, but either way. He's certainly living a more fulfilling life than most of us.

>>23012559
>>23012574

Wait, so basically the book is about people in London having sex while the Germans bombard them with rockets? Wtf?

This is even worse than Cliff

>>23013868

Well shit, I guess I'm going to have to go through life a a normie. I really can't read those books, kind of reminds me of the high literature with gay stuff in it back at university.

>>23012547
He has 3 copies of infinite jest. Why?

>>23013909
It's a very good 120 page epistolary novel, yes.

>>23013918
He’s a skinnyfat low iq loser covered in “ironic” scribbles from head to toe. I don’t care if he gets to rut with dirty and similarly brainless women.

>>23013915
He’s married

>>23013937
Well I do, they can be my muses

>>23013908

I've read James Joyce's Dubliners. But only like once, though. Will I be able to read and comprehend Ulysses without going insane or throwing the book against the wall in the midst of the first chapter?

>>23013936

I think I have a version of Sorrows of Young Werther from Gutenberg. But since it's the novel that gets people to commit suicide, I'll give it a pass. I would rather read, or reread, Bram Stoker's Dracula.

>MWAHAHAHAH I MARRIED A GOY!

>>23013952
her tits are kinda small

>>23013951
The first few chapters are quite simple to get a grasp on. I got 200 pages in before stopping a week ago. I did enjoy what I read but it required too much of a commitment. If you can spare the time and mental capacity to really dig through it, I'd say go for it. From what I read a lot of it was enjoyable; albeit slightly tedious at points. I hope to pick it up later in the year when my life slows down a bit

>>23013951
Your loss. It was a European literary sensation and Napoleon's favourite book for a reason.

>>23013937
Literal cope. I thought the whole bitter pseud thing was an ironic joke.

>>23013954
OY VEY

What happens if you post “Free Palestine” in a Jew’s comment section?

>>23013971
Huge L for him

>>23012586
I can't imagine moulding my entire life around how other people view myself.

>>23013952
>>23013971
lol
she will cucky him

>>23012565
>Nose
>Thick-rimmed glasses
>Pompuous name

What can we conclude from this ?

>>23013967
Not an argument. His reviews are shallow tripe and he’s clearly mentally ill, even has ‘sorry dad’ tattooed on him. I got laid plenty when I was younger and now am single by choice. I respect virgins far more than chimps like you.

>>23013963

You're a brave man, anon.

>>23013962

I guess I can give it a go. February is Black History month and so I have to read books written by White Europeans and Americans. Will do something similar with March which is Women's History month and will read books written by men rather than women.

>>23013988

Forgot screenshot.

He’s such a pseud. He can’t even spell Spanish names lmao

Are you sure, bud?

>>23013928
He’s even more shallow. At least Cliff somewhat tries.

>>23012574
He's not saying anything. The content of that paragraph is "I found this book very impressive, I don't understand it, but it's amazing and I'm amazing for having read it, despite not understanding it."

>>23014049
Tbh I couldn't say much more than that about a lot of things I've read, but i wouldn't put something as trite as that review out there for validation like he did

>>23013993
>cannon

>>23014054
Man's an inspiration.

>>23013973
The ADL come knocking at your door and send you to one of their "reducation" camps

>>23012559
>farther then

>>23013918
He has
>sorry dad
tattooed on his bicep

>>23013918
>nyc pussy
He lives in Richmond VA

>>23012547
>>23012551
Everything is nothing more than a damn social media aesthetic now…

You want to make it as a writer? Wrote some Dark Academia or “Coffeeshopcore” and spin up a popular social media page all about the aesthetic. I am convinced people buy books just for the way they look and to be able to talk about them now. They don’t even read them.

Fuck this.

>>23012547
Who gives a shit, anon? I'm as against social media attention seeking as anyone, but why am I meant to give a fuck about some random lad's lit blogging? The whole modern literary sphere is full of people putting way too much emphasis on reading as some sort of identity, and making sure everyone else is aware of it.

>>23013918
The fact that this is what people look up to and celebrate now is legitimately black pilling. This guy would’ve been stuck tending bar in some heap just 30 years ago. It’s not that I want to see him fail. It’s that I don’t think he deserves fame or fortune or admiration at all. He is clearly an idiot and like you said looks like a former drug addict.

>>23013868
>Wallace for killing himself like a faggot
my sides lmao

>>23012547
>social media presence
fag

>>23014367
Well women get to decide these kinds of things now and they like stuff like this, we are all just doing our best to keep up and maybe retain a shred of dignity by the end

>>23012551
>HOLY SHIT
>YOU CAN READ?
>BEFORE YOU GO, I GOTTA ASK
>HOW DID YOU DO IT????

>>23014363
OP has been using /lit/ to settle his weird personal scores for quite some time now, it's easy to recognize his posts. my advice is to report and move on

>>23012551
Surely on some level this man is in crisis though, I don't know I feel a little bad

>>23013868
>Wallace for killing himself like a faggot
toppest kek

>>23014411
What are you going on about, you retarded sizequeen

>>23014323
Lord, it's a damn shame.

>>23014405
Men do it too. Look at people like fucking Waldun or that gay guy that’s in the videos of the obnoxious blond girl people here like so much.

>>23014323
What an idiot. At least move to D.C. Is he retarded? The guy looks like one of the two stereotypical male feminists. He may as well move to D.C. and complete the strategy.

>>23014359

I am trying to read more. Dark Academia isn't just about buying books but reading them and studying while wearing upper class English looking clothing in a dark room illuminated by candlelight.
