/lit/ - Literature

Didn't rage at anything except the Comic Sans

I'd read that

We should have threads like this more often.

i love george orwell i just read animal farm last night for like the 1000th time

I get it, thank fuck

So the joke is using the covers for books with themes that are antithetical to the titles used?

Very good. Quite droll.

>>784016
I think it involves taking a book cover, changing the title, and attributing it to a different author.

>>784034

It seems to be three jokes in one. Brave new world attributed to Orwell using the cover for Gatsby. Orwell wrote 1984 which is thematically opposite to the ideas in Brave new world and Gatsby is gay. Deep.

>>784076
Well what about this one?
>>783982
I know that Lord of the flies is about the human nature, but I still haven't got around C&P and never read kipling.

>>784082
My guess is that some people didn't get the joke and randomly put covers with authors and titles

Something awesome is happening in this thread...but I can't put my finger on it.

>>784082
Crime and Punishment is also about human nature, as is The Jungle Book which was written by Kipling and in an odd way, relates to the cover.

>>783931
loled

This thread would be legendary if people that didn't get the joke would stop posting nonsense.

>>784235
PROTIP: I am the only person that posted pictures. You masturbators decided to read too fucking much into a simple concept.

>>784262
So, you just put random covers with random authors with random titles?

>>784262

Then you took something that could have been cool into something that is just retarded nonsense that stumbled into neatness once.

Way to go faggot.

>>784267
I took a cover, gave it a different title, and a different author.

>>784273
So you misread someone's intentions and were disappointed when your faggotry was exposed?

There's definitely hidden meaning behind the opening picture that's not found in the original. OP just put it there subconsciously and didn't realize his true intentions

>>784273
I think it is interesting to note that only one person posted pictures and you all trolled yourselves. You could have at least contributed to the thread with your own preconceptions. /lit/ is faggot.

ITT: lack of Photoshop skills.

>>784314
I was using paint.Net. Dont have PS :(

>>784347
lol'd when I saw the filename.

>>784347
Big Brother looks like some kind of Sci-Fi alien

Brave New World wasn't written by George Orwell, it was written by Aldous Huxley.

>>784507
Thanks for taking the time to read the lengthy 27 posts before yours.

ITT: we learn why people from the internet cannot exist socally

>>784507
haha oh really?

>>784848

Everything about this thread angers me

>>784651

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE JOKE.

>>785136

Read the thread dumbass. OP has already stated that there is no joke. It is just a bunch of dumb shit that happened to accidentally mean something for a couple of posts.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

I like this thread

>>785136

>>784848
I lol'd, that was actually good. I've always sort of thought there were pedo elements in pippi long-stockings and I know Shakespeare didn't have anything against 13 year old/adults love.

>>784191
ok this one was good
I lol'd

>>784984
>>785269
subtle...

Where do you get the blank Lolita cover? ;_;

more?

Actually, that's on old cover from "The Great Gatsby"

Beautiful.

You're an idiot OP, that's the classic cover of 'On The Road' by John Updike.

>>787262
Idiot.

Cormac McCarthy wrote "On the Road." Jeez.

>>783982
made me laugh, i dont know why

>>787619
I love the translators on that.

fuck you OP I made one of these threads last week.

>>787940

NICE ONE

I was reading through this rather humorous thread and completely neglected my cinnamon spice bagel in the toaster!

Burnt cinnamon spice bagels with real unsalted sweetcream butter are amazing! thank you /lit/, your tomfoolery has created an amazing invention

>>787967

what was this actually the cover for?

>>788016
Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche.

B-ump

>>788180

I am unsure how I should react to this.

I'm crying from laughter oh god

Sent an archive request here

Actually, wasn't that Jack Kerouac?

Contributing.

A stunning masterpiece

>>790314

This thread is worthy

It's not a game anymore...

>>790314
>translated by Jackie Chan

>>790353

I always thought that cover looked like MegaMan so I never read that book

Bumping a thread that's actually good

>>790211

>>790455
well done

>>790359
Unlike me who, if I'd seen it on the shelves as a child, would have read the shit out of it for that exact reason.

BUUUMMPPPP

some of the references in here are borderline genius.

>>791351
This is fantastic.

>>784086
What book is this cover actually for? I'm sure I read it in school.

>>791436
Looks like either Call of the Wilde or White Fang.

Great thread.

>>791442
Yeah, that's the one. I once forgot to bring my copy to school and my teacher shouted at me so horribly she made me cry.

>>791442

>Call of the Wilde

I REGRET NOTHING

>>791873
XD

>>783982

>>784013
These are the only ones I get...all others just seem like nonsense to me.

>>791810
Call of the Raging Faggot

>>791898
Call of the U Mad

>>791906

He mad.

>>791914
>>791906
No, I'm not mad...Oscar was a raging faggot. It's the truth. I love his writing and I love him even more cause he's gay so I have a chance at fucking him.

>>791936
Even if he were still alive, you would never have chance with him.

>>791936
I didn't realize there was any consent when you fucked a dead person.

>>791946
He's too composed by now, there's nothing left to fuck.

>>791944
Well at least I can still wrap his books around my cock and fuck them.

>>791950
>He's too composed by now
>composed

Interesting way of putting things sir LMAO!

Wut

>>791897
You didn't understand the one that was Hitler's book Mein Kampf renamed to Roots after Alex Haley's novel of a black family in America and written by Noam Chomsky, a Jewish Linguistics professor, translated by Jackie Chan?

This thread can't die.

>>787323

>Infinite Jest
>written by Pynchon

The world could not contain the awesome. No offense to Mr Wallace, of course.

>>793568
I'm sure no offense is taken, since the stupid asshole killed himself.

>>793573

Oh you.
