/lit/ - Literature

passing the test would be walking out and letting that daft cunt pay for the meal

Yes
Even if you haven't read them, everyone here should be able to list at least 3

Jane Eyre, Mansfield Park, A Wizard of Earthsea.
Mfw no first date

Easily.
Even if you don't know anything about literature just say Harry Potter 1 2 and 3.

>>8279014
Mira gonzalez,megan boyle and Melissa Broder

Jane Austen, George Eliot, Mary Oliver. Those happen to be the only women I've read.

>>8279017
"Yeah, mate!" Fist bump! (Go home alone, masturbate, drink, cry).

>>8279014
Yes, then I would ask her to do the same for black authors and get all #triggered when she can't

>>8279053
>black authors

Pretty easy.

Sylvia Plath
Betty Smith
Emily Dickinson

All the female writers you need ;)

I happen to have only read three books by female authors: Pride and Prejudice, Middlemarch, and A Poetry Handbook. However, if I were to be asked such a question I would rather slap my property.

>>8279014
Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone, Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets, Harry Potter and the prisoner of azkaban. BOOM BITCH! Slash drink in her face, moonwalk out.

>>8279014
Lol

The guys who can don't go on dates and guys who can't don't need dates

This woman is an idiot

Agonism - Chantal Mouffe
Rebellion - Nora Connolly
Collected Writings - Constance Markiewiz

And if she lambastes me for not mentioning fiction, I'd probably walk out

>>8279281
yes, they all are

>>8279014

Of course, I'd just lie.

I'll also note that I love how this tweet, which looks like it's about men's inadequate engagement with women's literature, is really about how women with sex lives don't care about women's literature either. Unless Ms. Wood wants us to picture her ending the date when these failures occur - in which case, the implicit status the crack relies on vanishes. 'Have you read Mary Wollstonecraft?' 'Nah.' 'Me either, your place or mine?'

-Any of the Harry Potter books by J. K. Rowling

-The Earth Is the Lord's: A Tale of the Rise of Genghis Khan by Taylor Caldwell

"La saga de los confines" by Liliana Bodoc, a latino woman writer who is really respected in my country

>>8279014
>my friends play a game on first dates now where it's ask women to list three hobbies excluding Netflix.
>it never goes well.

Easy, and I'm a pleb. JK Rowling, Margaret Atwood, Harper Lee.

I don't play games where the objective recedes whenever I complete it.

>>8279399
Truth

Too Kill A Mocking Bird, The Giver, and Twelve Little Indians.
Grade school still counts, right?

I don't care.

>>8279014
I'd tell her Toni Morrison, Zora Neale Hurston, and Harper Lee. Then I'd revert the questioning back to her and ask her to name three african american male authors she has read. Then proceed to call her a racist cunt.

>>8279014

Ursula le Guin
Elif Shafak
Tonke Dragt

What do I win? I can even name ten, 20 would be doable as well

>>8279014
Just say 3 Harry Potter books and walk out.

>>8279459
Book titles would be Wizard of Earthsea, Fourty Rules of Love, Brief voor de Koning

Everyone here would pass it, they just wouldn't have read any of them

Autobiography of a Face by Lucy Grealy
Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson
Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl by Carrie Brownstein

I could probably get some SJW pussy with those answers if i wanted it. all very femme impowering shit. of course, the correct response is to go wide-eyed and say "hey you know, I'm reading one right now! it's in my car, lemme go get it" and then driving away. fuck people like this

Foxfire: Confessions of a Girl Gang
Cat's Eye
Possessing the Secret of Joy

Hadrian's Memoirs
Ice
Dark Spring

Literally the first that came to mind. Show me a woman who can name three books by female authors that aren't pop bestsellers, YA, or genreshit. I bet I could mansplain the shit out of Holly.

Just go for easy ones
and lie obviously

>To Kill a Mockingbird
>Frankenstein
>Harry Twotter

>>8279508
pls be grill. we can cuddle

>>8279513

Sorry m8, but I have penis.

>>8279549
maybe you'd like being a grill? just think about it

I could easily name over 3. (Anyone here could).

How pleb is the men this women dates? Holy fuck.

>>8279014
The Illiad
King Lear
The Bible
done

>>8279014
Memoirs of Hadrian
Mrs. Dalloway
The Last Samurai

But then I would explain to her why I've been boycotting women authors for over 2 years now because some clickbait boycott white male authors articles pissed me off and I don't really miss women authors.

>>8279597

Not especially, because what she's describing never happens, it's bullshit for the consumption of bitter hambeasts, patent in its untruth if you think for more than a second.

>>8279014

>>8279628

Harry Potter, Twilight and the first book in Robin Hobb's novels.

>>8279014

>Beloved
>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
>Frankenstein

Do I win?

>>8279639
This. I keep looking around at the waitresses due to nervousness and my date thinks I'm admiring them.

>>8279014
Unless she's dating a total Chad.
Then her mouth is too stuffed with cock to ask about anything as gay and beta as books.

>>8279014
It's funny how she's instantly managed to make me lose all interest in knowing anything more about her.

>>8279670
Can confirm I'm Chad

>>8279652
top kek

It'd proceed exactly this awkwardly in real life.

>taking a date's casually mentioned interest in literature and turning it into a weird hostile knowledge test

The uncomfortable silence after you'd list your titles would be dreadful.

>>8279061
I know none, tell me some 4 dates pls, and for reads

I wonder if I could remember all the titles of the Resident Evil tie-in novels by S.D. Perry...

>>8279262
i like you, 2 of those were my choices
also frankenstein
hell i could even impress her with my understanding of the bloody chamber's vaginal themes

Nella Larsen

I could tell her 20 more, because I've probably read 300 times as much as her and don't care whether a woman wrote it.

Infinite Jest–

Damn, already messed up...

>>8279014
it's always a weird feeling knowing that not only do people go on dates/have sex casually and regularly, but that they also have an actual urge to. why is this?

>>8279791
Pretty much this. She's gonna reach for the moral high-ground and then scramble to recover from an embarrassing BTFO while secretly googling Virginia Woolf and Banana Yoshimoto and Flannery O'Connor and I'll politely pretend not to notice her weak attempt at damage control because God knows it's a miracle that I'm on a date in the first place.

Ann Nocenti, Daredevil
Louise Simonson, The New Mutants
Jo Duffy, Star Wars

>>8279176
That's like every girl ever dude

any male author could become a tranny at any point in the future, thereby making their past works female literature

>>8279886
Some of them probably didn't identify as men either.

>>8279256
Oryx and crake?

>>8279017
Basically this, not necessarily because I have a grudge against female authors but because if a woman is quizzing you so fucking crassly upon first meeting you, she's likely a completely irredeemable cunt anyways.

A woman who has no patience for the nuance of socialization is not a woman, she's a feminist which in our context is a masculinized female.

>>8279017
Underrated

Evelyn Waugh

I'd probably lose desu just because I'm shit at remembering names

The fact that she feels this is a tough question just goes to show that she doesn't even read herself. It's kinda like asking a gymnast if he can even do a front flip because all they do is backflips. Kind of a poor analogy

>>8279014
Yes, pretty easily.
The Awakening - Kate Chopin, The Yellow Wallpaper - Charlotte Perkins Gilman, The Second Sex - Beauvoir, Frankenstein - Mary Shelly (Who hasn't read this), and those are just off the top of my head.

>>8279014
Glass, Irony and God - Anne Carson
Willful Creatures - Aimee Bender
On Photography - Susan Sontag

Uhhhh The House on Mango Street, a court of mist and fury, zenith, one by some immigrant girl and her stupid brother

I would say with a solid face:

The Ethics of Ambiguity


and see what is to be continued after that

Would lose because it would be difficult for me to quiz-recall le female authors meme because I don't mentally categorize the books I've read into male/female checklists.
Thus this vapid bitch would get up from the table, the realization that she's the real sexist remaining beyond her paltry grasp.

>>8279014
Yeah, pretty easily. I'd probably even name three they haven't heard of because they're filthy plebs.
>Mavis Gallant
>Maude Hutchins
>Melanie Rae Thon

>>8279347
Price of Salt is so fucking good

>>8279796
>first few Harry Potters

>>8280105
Oh I just re-read the tweet. I haven't read any of those I guess TKAM is about it with female authors, preferred the live play adaptation anyways.

>>8279112
your taste is rag

why would you not read books by female authors? that's like incomprehensible to me

>>8280155
I don't understand why anyone would have an author-filter.

What is it with females enjoying the thought of being cruel and judgemental to people who find them desirable (and given that they're on a date with them, whom they also find desirable)?

I presume (going off gay men, who I know better cause fag and because really femme gay guys do this shit too) it's a sorta a subtle humble brag where you make yourself feel wanted by implying that you get so much attention that you can value it so cheaply that it means nothing to you to do shit like this. What a noxious emotion.

>>8279014
I don't even read books.

Harry Potter series, Atlas Shrugged, 50 Shades of Gray

There you go. This is from a mongoloid who saw this thread from the front page and hasn't read a book in about 5 years.

frankenstein
the awakening

>>8279014
The Bell Jar
Middlemarch
Orlando

To the Lighthouse
Good Morning, Midnight
Bluets

Easy. How so many men could fail this test is beyond me.

>>8280179
Similar vein of why some guys talk shit about women and honestly view them as lesser; girls often look for any method of control they can find, considering we're usually smaller and already thought of as a default inferiority by a large number major influences in academic fields. It's like, when you know a guy's into you and you're afraid of telling them no because you like being friends and don't want to make him angry but at the same time, it's sort of fun to have someone to rely on. Boosts your self esteem. It's cruel sometimes, yeah.

I really can't see any woman actually doing this test on actual date; female authors have come up if literature's on the table and it's refreshing to see someone well versed in gender studies I guess? It usually isn't that deep; you can tell what a guy's really looking for by the end of the first date, this girl doesn't sound like someone who's actually done so; it could be just projecting on twitter for attention.

>>8279676

>It's funny how she's instantly managed to make me lose all interest in knowing anything more about her.

this. i have pretty good taste in female writers but i would shrug and bail on a woman that conceited. i'd rather go get shitfaced with a gutter slag than have to deal with all of that yuppie tedium.

>>8279014
I've read tons of fantasy trash by women. Harry Potter, most of the Christie Golden Warcraft books. Also Frankenstein.

>>8279014
"It never goes well" could imply that they get shitty gotcha answers that show they aren't really reading female authors, just like half this thread.

>>8280155
It's not like I'm specifically avoiding them, it's just the vast majority of great literature was written by men and I don't feel like reading subpar books just so I can signal my virtue to some people on Tumblr or w/e.

>>8280011
I have to read Vile Bodies for a class this semester, is it any good? Going to read it anyways but just wondering.

She's doing the lady thing of bros before hoes (sisses before kisses?), but she's going to tire of it eventually.

>>8279014
I wouldn't do this on principle. Dating plebs is shit. If you want me to talk about female authors we can talk but I'd rather not do it through the medium of a pop quiz

This is genuinely not hard and if a guy can't do it it's either evidence that he doesn't read at all, doesn't read literature or has something seriously wrong with him like some of you people who read books based on /lit/ entry guides.

The first three books on my mind would probably be:
>Wuthering Heights
>The Waves
>Wise Blood

You can easily just flip the script like "tell me some, I've been wanting to read more female authors"

Maybe even make it more specific. Like German philosophy.

>tfw no lithe, gracile, trap/twink to cuddle with

We'll find him (her??) one day Anon.

I like to meet women from a certain *scene" or demographic outside of my experience. I figure out the attributes and hobbies they respect and then I sleep with several of the lauded exemplars of this field. Then I move on. To the next one. I am 25, I have hit the high 40s in terms of notches on my bedpost. It is so hollow yet compulsive, like attaining PlayStation trophies.

Anyway, if you want to see a feminist squirm quote Paglia.

>>8279014

Here's her Goodreads page. It's interesting to scroll through it and observe her progress - from generic "look, I'm reading Twilight" phase to "I am a smart girl and read classics like Odyssey and Tale Of Two Cities" to "Why don't men want to commit to a long term relationship with me? I better read a book like Women Men Love, Women Men Leave: What Makes Men Want to Commit and find out", then she evidently gives up and you have books like The Science of Single, Outdated: Why Dating Is Ruining Your Love Life and The Big Lie: Motherhood, Feminism, and the Reality of the Biological Clock, then you get an obligatory Buddhist phase (nothing too serious, obviously, slap some Eckhart Tolle on top of it), then she discovers mainstream feminist literature (The Cinderella Complex: Women's Hidden Fear of Independence and stuff like that), then she goes deeper (theoretical stuff like Dvorkin and some pop-Marxism) and finally, one of her last reads is Bitch Planet, Vol. 1: Extraordinary Machine - "In a future just a few years down the road in the wrong direction, a woman's failure to comply with her patriarchal overlords will result in exile to the meanest penal planet in the galaxy. When the newest crop of fresh femmes arrive, can they work together to stay alive or will hidden agendas, crooked guards, and the deadliest sport on (or off!) Earth take them to their maker?". Very interesting indeed. The overarching theme here seems to be "Why Am I Not A Desirable Partner For Men And Why Is It Someone Else's Fault?". Her review of Sun Also Rises is also interesting - "This book is mostly about horrible people drinking too much fucking wine and loving the proto-manic pixie dreamgirl. In Spain." In conclusion, if it ever came to a physical altercation in a self-defence situation I could take her out with no effort because I'm a MAN.

I can, but I wouldn't want to.

Honestly the sort of girl who asks that probably isn't dating guys who could name three male authors. It's just childish.

>>8280773

I bet they ask that question a lot.

>>8280835
fallacious assumption

>>8280826
I wouldn't use the verb "growing" in this case, more like "descending". Anyway, if you find yourself in a situation where you are undesirable to people and unable to get anyone to commit to you, ask yourself a question "Is there something I can do to become a person people want to be with? Is there anything I can do to stop being a net drag on society?". That would be "growing".

"men don't read books written by female authors" is a myth started by men who don't read and propagated by women who don't read
>>8280179
because women DO get so much attention of that kind that it means literally nothing unless it's coming from someone they're attracted to, desu, they just let it get to their heads

I'm married. I married someone who was nice to me and I in turn am nice to her. I think needing to have the "best" partner is a desire to make another person an extension of your ego and that that drive arises from insecurity and will lead to unhappiness. Also people are implicitly testing others for the characteristics they desire all the time which is ok but an explicit test on a first date would signal to me that the person is needlessly arrogant and devoid of social grace and because I value myself I wouldn't consider her good enough for me.

I agree, commodifying people and talking about their "quality" is sickening to me. My only criteria in a partner are that they're kind (to me and others), that they understand my feelings, and that they share my love for certain things.

>>8282363
Not being a slave to traditionalist spooks doesn't mean you'll end up with a crazy feminist, it just means you'll end up with a decent, non-elitist person.

>>8279014
It's not my fault women don't write good books

I think you guys are missing the point of this tweet. The question is supposed to expose the feminist men who would answer with alacrity all their favorite female authors. It's well known that even feminist women don't want to date feminist men. And so passing the test, at least with full marks, would entail answering something like "I've never read any women authors because they haven't ever written worthwhile books."

To be fair, I don't know what you mean by those words, they're pretty nebulous. I'm just assuming the most common connotation in a place like this. But even if you aren't using those words in a traditionalist manner, it comes across as elitist and exclusionary when you talk about someone's "adequacy".

Emma Donoghue, Katy Reichs, JK Rowling

Only Donoghue is a decent author but I'd pass the test.

>>8282952
I can kind of see where she's coming from though: it's more odd that someone would avoid female authors, and might indicate an inability to relate to women or take their thoughts and experiences seriously.

Okay; The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper, childhood favourite.

Basically anything by Ursula K. Leguin; I read the first four(?) Earthseas, but I'll count them as one because I don't need to be a scrub.

Grave Secrets - Cathy Reichs, I was given it to read during an overnight stay in a police cell; coming quietly has some advantages, but I wouldn't call the literature selection one of them.

Right, that's three and notably none of them were J.K. Rowling or Suzanne fucking Collins.

I think this entitles me to a shag.

>>8282963

No. Males have shown throughout time they can write female characters just as well as females can or better. It doesn't take a male or female to write about either experiences and thoughts candidly.

This. This bullshit little test is what college women who think that their pussies are gods gift do. When you get into your 30s and talk to the single gals, they are willing to date alcoholic morons with a criminal record for spousal abuse as long as they can stick around in a job and a romantic relationship for longer than 2 weeks.

>>8279014
Hm. I don't really think about the gender of the author since what matters if their writing quality, but I guess probably? I mean, even if I had nothing else I could always just name the Harry Potter series. Anyone who uses Twitter is obviously not a connoisseur of the arts.

I don't know why you guys get triggered by girls like this. They're the female equivalent of Cheetos men who ask a girl if she's read Dune or some other fantasy novel and then berate her for not being intellectual enough when she hasn't.
