In general, people here like the Stranger, although we admit that it's not the most sophisticated compared to other, more major, novels. It's pretty entry-tier, and some might say even plebby.

>>6680625
yes there is a correlation
they both mean you're a faggot with no tastenow fuck off back to your cesspool, pleb

>>6680635
>we

>>6680625
>Babby's first post-rock and babby's first book
Yep definitely a connection. You're a pleb OP

Bastille. They are pretty much the new Pink Floyd, but better.

Paradise Lost

Bohm's Tristan und Isolde.

I don't know how they do it on /mu/ but here we encourage people to lurk moar before posting threads. If this isn't bait you should try reading more of the western canon and some outlines of philosophy. Shitposting abounds on this board. Please be the difference you, or in this case I, want to see in /lit/

I respect your choices, OP, so ignore the trolls.

As for me, my current favorite nook is "2666" by Roberto Bolaño, and my favorite album is "walk Among Us" by the Misfits.

The Sound and the Fury
Let It Bleed

Gravity's Rainbow

Little bit of dark jazz won`t hurt I assume

Try Slint, Bark Psychosis, Gastr del Sol and Tortoise.

The Stranger is one of my favorite novels, but since /lit/ is all about autistically rating novels on arbitrary scales and since they consider it a piece of philosophy it is usually thought to be "plebeian". If you're new just completely discard this dichtomy and try not to have your mind poisoned. Try seeing literature and music for what they are.

My favorites are Can's Future Days and Calvino's If on a Winter's Night a Traveller.

>>6680625
Both memes

The Money Store
The Brothers Karamazov

>>6680625
check out this meme I made a while ago OP

>>6680731
already know slint, tortoise and future days, will give the others a listen since i love those
>>6680732
>criticism is that my favourites are memes
>favourite album is a meme grips album

>>6680731
>Seeing it for what it is.
Yeah, it's not a piece of philosophy. That would be giving it more credit than it deserves. It's baby's first existential romp.

>>6680752
>Not realizing his comment is actualizing his self-awareness of his taste not a criticism of yours
Someone is touchy.

>>6680752
No I'm saying both of mine are memes.

>>6680755

>Yeah, it's not a piece of philosophy.

Ecactly. Camus was pretty upset, since he actually had no intentions of The Stranger being a philosophical piece, it's just a story. He was not pleased with its reception and people overanalizing or overinterpreting it.

>That would be giving it more credit than it deserves. It's baby's first existential romp.

Buzzwords & memes galore.

wouldn't wear those boots, love 3/4 albums since deathconciousness is too whiny for me, only read one of those books, drink cheap vodka with friends mostly, smoke marlboro reds

whoops sorry

My favorite fiction is Ulysses, and my favorite non-fiction is probably the Philosophical Investigations.

My favorite album is probably White Light/White Heat. I view it as the logical conclusion of rock music, and probably once every month or two I need to get naked and start singing along to it. "Sister Ray" is transcendence itself.

J.M. Coetzee - Disgrace

Slint - Spiderland

>I'm from /mu/ so I'm not sure how this book is received here but my favourite book is The Stranger by Albert Camus

Recently i've been fairly obsessed with The Microphones' debut album "It was hot, we stayed in water"

& my current favourite novel is actually aesthetically (and in some respects thematically) similar to that album. Virginia Woolf - To the Lighthouse

Ulysses
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

I like The Beach Boys a lot.
