Herbert brands a smart person as young, because Dune is derivative of a lot of stuff that a person with penetrating intellect will find later on.

Those Russians are slightly pretentious and not as much fun as Bulgakov, who is popular on this board. Often Crime and Punishment is assigned in High School honors classes as well. Both together is off putting. At 17 any pussy at all, especially on the regular, and you would have happier choices, like Bulgakov, etc.

Garcia Marquez is humble and unassuming. Cortazar thinks he's the best writer to ever live. He's the peak of pretension.

Bro, Rayuela is one of the greatest works ever written in the spanish language.

And not it's not "pretentious". Your childish definitions are unfitting.

>> No.770774

>>770757
You can also tell that by his writing. Were Garcia Marquez has an almost child-like nature to story-telling (like in "Un Viejo Con Alas Enormes"), Cortazar is pretentious, trying to sound smart by cramming every sentence with a french/philosphy/jazz/anything that's really obscure reference.

That's a bunch of bullshit, reading Rayuela is like reading a bad Chuck Palahniuk book.
