u mad, plebes? Check your privilege, btw.

U WANT SOME FUK

>>2976022
Please, I'm waiting for you.

>Moby-Dick?

Your girlfriend is probably going to leave you because your so fucking boring and go fuck some guy that dresses like the Twilight guys and likes to act out the scenes from 50 shades of grey,

But hey, you can catch up on your reading while she's getting gangbanged by some plebs.

>Act like a Lady, Think like a Man

>>2976005
Lent my ex-gf my copy of The Stranger, then we broke up and I forgot to get it back.

Didn't someone post the other day that DFW's favorite book of all time was, like, Sum of All Fears?

Wow. Where did all this MAD come from? I thought this was /lit/ was pompous-central?! Aw, hell screw this. I'm going back to /v/.

>>2976034
you mean that Clancy book with Morgan Freeman in it?

Y'all niggaz posting in my thread now.

Also, my new book's called Run Like a Cheetah, Think Like a Giraffe. It's about a young Steve Harvey giving out the advice that inspired him to write Act like a Lady, Think like a Man. Its a meta-narrative about the writing of my previous book.
The people buying it'll think im being deep and edgy for wandering into new territory, but in all reality im too lazy to think up anything new and i still cut a fat paycheck out of the whore.
Well, good night lit and fuck you.

>>2976041

that's the one.

>>2976037
Because the books you read are pleb tier. Lit likes: Infinite Jest, Gravity's Rainbow, Ulysses, Finnegans Wake, Pale Fire etc etc.

>>2976044

Gravity's Rainbow seems pretty awesome. I'll give it a look. Thanx.

>>2976044
LOL, what a shitlist of 'books I think are patrician tier' from a person who doesn't even read.

>>2976044

>>2976052
>2012
>actually reading books instead of just discussing them on lit
can you get any more plebeian?

>>2976057
>actually discussing about books
>not just saying generic stuff about them

>implying that Fifty shades of gray isn't the Odyssey of our generation
>implying that Zizek isn't the Plato of XXI century

can everyone in this thread please go the fuck back to /mu/? thanks.

ps

don't come back.

>>2976062

>>2976062
So you can go back to 2 posts an hour?

>>2976062
Can't you appreciate some humour?

>>2976063

This thread started out so well too.

Way to go /mu/cas, you ironically killed it.

>like to have rough sex
>girlfriend keeps saying we should buy fifty shades of grey so we can get some ideas
>I really don't want to read that stupid shit
She is taking a lit class and is going to be reading some Faulkner whom I see talked about on here.


I haven't read him, but she says A Rose for Emily is pretty good and kind of dark.

Your 3 favorite books are terrible garbage that people only read because other people tell them that they're classics.

At least your girlfriend reads for enjoyment.
>50 shades of grey
OP confirmed for shit in bed and tiny dick

>Your 3 favorite books are terrible garbage that people only read because other people tell them that they're classics.

No, Moby Dick is great and a precursor to the good kind of fantasy writing. A thoroughly enjoyable work if you can get used to the dated language.

>>2976126
Seconded. One of the req. reading books in school that got me interested in books beyond shitty fantasy/sci-fi. Amazing work about the human condition. One of the rare occasions they tell you its a classic because its fucking amazing.

When did we get a fantasy nerd infestation?

>>2976123

Go back to /b/, kid.

>Go back to /b/, kid.
>for deriding genre fiction
Oh dear, a non /lit/izen has somehow wandered in.

>>2976033
I lent my ex bf a copy of The Stranger, he didn't get it, then he lost it ;-;

>>2976167
> /b/tard deriding 'Moby Dick'.

Get off my lawn, child.

>>2976167

Out of interest what is with the necessity for good 'taste'. Is that representative of /lit/ as a whole? Is it representative of literature as a whole?

I've been here for a while now but have held off asking such a question for fear of derision but it must be said that I've never seen people in any other medium concerned with the idea of good taste as much as /lit/ is. Some of you must be academically educated in literature. You must know that taste is rarely ever important.

>>2976034
he was taking the piss (dfw, i mean).

So do you like Foucault as well?
