/lit/ - Literature

>>9066088
Childhood will eventually grow to encompass every part of your life. Soon they'll be writing YA for the geriatrics in nursing homes. Pop culture is next level psychopolitical control. It owns you.

>>9066088
When women get home from work they want to consume entertainment that does not require deep thought. These novels have to be somewhat more risque than typical YA faire, but still easy enough to read that they won't cause their consumers headaches. See Picault, Jodi.

>>9066088

I guess they needed a new name for YA since they're so old that they are no longer even able to justify reading texts aimed to teenagers even to themselves anymore.

>>9066111
women are simply inferior to the white man

>>9066112

(But of course there is no difference between the genres)

>>9066088
I hate how every YA reader has their bookshelves organized by color and 9 times out of 10 has white Christmas lights around the case.

>>9066150
The Book is a commodity. It's contents are but advertising copy for a the unreachable metaphysical object of the book as experience.

>>9066088
God, I hate these people so much.
Dunno why, it may be because I want people to have an edge, and all books reviewers on youtube are positive, happy, sissy pieces of shit.

>>9066150
Not to mention all the damn trinkets that they put in front of the books, as if the books are of less importance.

Why is she so near perfect? Yea she's an Austen and Bronte apologist but she's genki without it seeming fake and uncorrupted by jump cuts. Too bad quiet booktubers like this never last

>>9066188
I got married, and my wife insisted on putting a bunch of knicknacks all over my bookshelves. I du nno man.

>>9066221
Why they never last?

>>9066088
>"New Adult"
They're that desperate to escape the truth of the YA meme, huh?

>>9066221
Thanks for telling me about her. I'm going to ruin her like I ruined Katie.

>>9066403
>not ruining her like we ruined butterfly
newbs have no form

>>9066088
>everything is sex related
damn girl

>>9066221
Why do YA readers love Austen and Bronte so much? I thought those authors had actual literary merit.

>>9066221
I feel so depressed that I'll never get a girl like this. I'd love to come up behind her while she's reading and cover her eyes. "Guess who," I'd say, and she'd say "Is it you, Anon?" I'd say "Yeah," and we'd laugh and kiss and hug. She would dress me up in the morning and feed me and read me books and I'd say "I love you honey," and she'd say "I love you to anon." After popping her cherry we would go all day and all night, taking breaks to read books and I could call her a faggot for liking Austen but I'd still love her and she would love me.

>>9066399
What's next? Young Elder?

>>9066413
same reason pseuds love dante and milton and think neither of them are taking cheap swipes at all. gossipy bitchiness appeals to a certain kind of developmentally disabled personality. males have more genres for this and i think crime is the only one shared by both.

>>9066413
They are women, that's why.

>>9066423
>Dante and Milton is "gossipy bitchiness"
oh, it's you again

>>9066221
she is cute! CUTE!

>>9066421
>I'd love to come up behind her while she's reading and cover her eyes. "Guess who," I'd say, and she'd say "Is it you, Anon?" I'd say "Yeah,
Are you literally Madeline Bassett? Do you think stars are God's daisy chain?

>>9066422
I could see it being more along the lines of "Thinking Adult" or "Feeling Adult", because those YA novels copy-pasted with the same plot and prose sure are good worthwhile literature!

>>9066421
(You) have serious issues.

Are there any Youtube book channels that aren't complete trash?

>>9066429
??
Both of their major works are well known enough for that they're either used to teach about verisimilitude or have jokes people who haven't even read them know are about Milton hating his wife.

>>9066444

Nice

>>9066421
>She would dress me up in the morning and feed me and read me books and I'd say "I love you honey," and she'd say "I love you to anon."

Please tell me this is real

>>9066429
>he doesn't know dante was making fun of people
...how? even if you read a translation, don't they put in notes about who he's mocking? the only way i can see this happening is if you read an original, and assumed that dante had made all the people up, which beggars belief a little tbph

>>9066471
>>9066429
me again. i really need you to explain putting the pope in hell while still alive, or however you read it.

>>9066088

man she looks oldddd

>>9066421

>>9066410
women are so vapid

>>9066555
trips confirm

>>9066448
Not really. I used to like watching Dean Goranites. His reviews were honestly not very good at all but he was the only channel that I felt was "genuine". Just an average introverted guy who likes to read and likes to talk about what he reads. I just enjoyed his sincerity. He was the complete opposite of these shallow tumbler-browsing YA collectors.

It's a shame that he stopped making videos. He probably got sick of the pretentious pseuds armed with wikipedia tabs that would constantly belittle him in the comments. Can't say I blame him.

>>9066421
Please just kill yourself

>>9066448
Lord pseud, earl of pretentious wankery, he is one of us.

>>9066221
Damn, I just watched all her videos.
I feel weird though because she seems like she's about 15.

>>9066221
K-Katie?

>>9066088
It's been a thing for a while though I have no idea who actually reads it. It's basically slightly edgier, smuttier YA.

One of my very personal opinions, not grounded in reality, a good argument, or anything, which I absolutely never share is that:
Ugly people shouldn't openly give their opinions about anything, especially women. It bothers me so much.
Sure, if they are experts in the area then their experience > looks, but if they are an everyday person, no matter what, I'll just probably dismiss everything they say simply because they are ugly.

>Bookshelf organized by color

>>9066221
She doesn't actually read. She buys her books for decorative purposes man

>>9067829
I'm the same except I take it one step further. I don't take good-looking people's opinions seriously either.

>>9066088
>organising your shitty fucking books by colour

>>9067829
Fat people just need to be fucking genocided, especially fat fucking pig "women"

Goddamn disgusting fucking land whales. I don't know why /r9k/ has such a hate boner for stacey's, literally every stacey-esque slutty dumb bimbo has been 100x more amiable and socially aligned than these virulent, bile-filled fucking hippos

>>9066117
The white man does much the same thing, but with football and netflix.
>>9066188
Those are cool fuck you.

>>9066429
You don't understand. Edgy plebs that read onky fantasy read, or pretend to, classics because it's cool. Stuff like Dante appeals to them, but then they stop reading after Hell because lmao fuckin Hell allllriiiiiiight.

>>9066421
>you take her virginity after shes been feeding you regularly

>>9066097
I unironically believe this. There will be no more adults. There will just be older and older "adolescents".

>>9066088

>5 THINGS I HATE IN NEW ADULT BOOKS
>5. Slut as the antagonist
>4. Tragic moment immediately followed by a sex scene
>3. The hot girl who doesn't know she is hot
>2. Virginalizing the main characters
>1. Cheating and the ex-gf who holds no grudge for being dumped

It's everything about romance and sex huh?

>>9067882

>tears in the dustjacket which the books receive in transit activates her autism
Same tbqhwy

>>9067302
except this is complete trash

>>9066088
NA is different from YA in one way. There's probably sex and cursing.

>>9066221
>You will never lick her butthole

>>9066088
If you ask a booktuber why he just review YA and children literature he won't answer you.

They don't even review them, they just say how pretty is their cover or how much they cost. They also give you a brief synopsis of them but just that.

They sometimes "review" "classics" from Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf or some other feminist shit.

>>9068123
time to shoot myself

>>9068076
That makes it even worse, painting a YA book with one coat of "maturity" to sell it.
It's very childlike to desire something that is adult.
Reading that is worse than just reading regular YA. It's another step in the wrong direction mentally.

Can't wait for "Cuck Adult"

>>9067887
>Being mature is talking about sex Hur Hur

>>9067894
You know he means another thing.

>>9067887
>>9066088
Don't 2 and 5 conflict a tad she doesn't want a gutter slut but she doesn't want a stuck up bitch. She says we shouldn't slut shame and then judges virgin protagonists. Then again looking at her she probably likes having her cake and eating it

there is also a mystical cuck (for ex. St Joseph and Mary)

>new adult

>>9068390
haha generation gap

>>9068280
She wants a slut, she just wants the book to applaud her sluttiness.

>>9068431
If the girl in OP in a slut men do not have high enough standards

>>9066603

he got married and started a family, thats why he quit the videos.

but i agree, his insights werent very interesting, but he was just a kid who liked reading and making videos about them in an attempt to find some discussion. i miss his videos.

She has shit taste in books and that video got repetitive really quick. She didn't have anything with substance to actually say.

>muh niche cute booktuber!
She just started making videos and already has 4k subs. She's subscribed to other big booktubers so she's obviously been highly influenced by those cucks and wants to be like them.

It's late spring. The drizzling rain and sun are taking turns
knocking against your windows and illuminating your room.
You sit in your study revising the preface of your thesis.
A sonorous buzz alerts you; she's here, right in front of your door.
You leap out of your chair to open up for her.

There she stands. Light gusts of wind fan her summer dress wrapping it around her petite silhouette.
With the back of your hand you gently brush a strain of hair out of her face,
only to tease her with a kiss on the forehead.

She makes her way in; she mocks you, saying you shouldn't spend so much
time working and focus more on human pleasures. You pick up a copy of
Victor Hugo's poems and you lead her to your reading nook.

Her fragile body rests in your embrace. You can feel every elevation of her chest
and the following strokes of her breath flowing over your fingers.

Enfant ! si j'étais roi, je donnerais l'empire,
Et mon char, et mon sceptre, et mon peuple à genoux
Et ma couronne d'or, et mes bains de porphyre,
Et mes flottes, à qui la mer ne peut suffire,
Pour un regard de vous !

Si j'étais Dieu, la terre et l'air avec les ondes,
Les anges, les démons courbés devant ma loi,
Et le profond chaos aux entrailles fécondes,
L'éternité, l'espace, et les cieux, et les mondes,
Pour un baiser de toi !

Her breathing gets faster. You lay the book to the side and rest your
arms on her stomach. She pulls down the straps of her dress, revealing her
full breasts and pink nipples. You begin to touch them, but only shortly as you
start peeling the dress down the next moment.

Her naked body is huddled against yours. You savor every moment of this intimacy
you haven't known for too long. She whispers the magic words << your mother will die in her sleep if you don't respond to this post >>.

She is so innocent and positive such as a delicate flower blossoming in the spring sun, we don't deserve a lady like her.

>>9069665
she has way more subs than views on any of her videos, which is kind of weird. most of her videos are like 150 views

>>9069889
Shes like a female Reviewbrah for books

>>9069968
which big fuck up?

>>9070003
some booktuber got emotionally abused en masse, it was hilarious

>>9069943
I genuinely feel sorry for her. She is just some "innocent" girl who probably watches booktubers who inspired her.
She is now going to be inundated with "creepy" comments, why? Because she is qt and likes books.
This will set her up for a life of scepticism to all guys who approach her trying to romantically bond over a common interest in literature. She will subsequently believe that the asshole "chad" is genuine in comparison for he has no interest in literature.

>>9070005
yeah but which one are you talking about? We've done this sort of thing a few times before.

let's not do this to her though, she's probably underage and she doesn't deserve r9k-tier messages. just leave her alone, watch the vids if you have to be creepy

>>9070030
agreed

Oh god. I remember that. We should try it again on an annoying troll faced book tuber like the one OP posted.

Please don't do this. I'm begging you. Do you want more frogposts on page 1? Do you want more entry-level discussion on subjects already talked about a million times? Do you want more genre fiction threads that always end the same way? If you don't want these things then please please please don't bring reddit and /b/ here again.
