Do you agree with this list?

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 21 23:33:19 2015 No.7266184 >>7266176 Threats is pretty good. Like a lost David Lynch movie. Palahniuk is a shit. Fowles and Bradbury are readable. The rest I've never heard of.

>>7266176
Diary is shit, Hemlock Grove is Twilight Tier, RL Stine is for kids that were born between 1980 and 1985. This is basically a list for women.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 21 23:52:50 2015 No.7266261 thanks for posting this, havent been keeping up with the huffington post nearly as much as i should.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 21 23:56:37 2015 No.7266280 Am I right in saying that the real reason why The Collector was supposed to be unsettling was because of the spiritual and intellectual poverty of the British lower middle class? Aside from the kidnapping and stuff.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 22 00:26:13 2015 No.7266409 >>7266176 Das Kapital should really be on there.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 22 02:22:34 2015 No.7266807 >>7266225 You have to judge the story on the contents of the story, and not who the writer's character and morals is like.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 22 02:27:26 2015 No.7266823 >>7266184 >Palahniuk is a shit. This, although Choke was alright, and Fight Club did get adapted into a great movie
