what the fuck is the point in listing that many names? the thread will just die in moments

>>9780801
Those whose names are mentioned are supposed to read the book the poster chooses (usually it is shown as an attached pic).
Example, if your name is Joshua, you read Rashomon and Seventeen Other Stories, because that is the pic OP chose.

I wish people posted more female names

>>9780808
People always complain when their name is never called and the thread just turns into an image dumping ground.

At least if you call out multiple names, more people get involved and even take part in the thread.

We had a very popular one yesterday, anon. Don't sweat it.

>>9780808
people always post multiple names anyway calm your shitt nigaa

>>9780723
Sweet. Thanks for the excuse OP. Ive heard nice things about Rashōmon.
Happy reading, anons!

>>9780723
Lol nobody ever reads because of this people just like to see their name.

I genuinely think not enough people on /lit/ have read this despite it being essential baby's first lit-core. It's less horror and more about the virtues of love and friendship, although it gets a bit spooky too.

This book is reserved for: Jim, James, Michael, Michelle, Akira, Christopher, Noah, Arnold, Francois, Alfred, Jane, Terrence, Kenneth, Thibault, Jason, Harlan, Charles, Ruth, Barney.

>>9780879
speak for yourself, anon, i add these books to my stacks anyway even if my name isn't mentioned

> tfw nobody will ever mention your name despite how common it is nowadays

It's often just the same Daniels and Davids...

>>9780882
>tfw my name wasn't called but I'll read it anyways

>>9780890
Wow good job you added a book to your stack you will never read.

>>9780906
I know you're trying to be confrontational and contrarian, and that's fine, whatever you need to do to kill some time, but there are people here who do enjoy reading, despite how many people shitpost.

malcolm, martin, spike, denzel, elijah and mohammad should read this

(sort of memeing but if anyone is actually called these here then actually read this and don't be a pussy about it, his stories about his childhood, prison, mecca and elijah mohammad being a sleaze are pretty interesting and he drops his conspiratorial beliefs towards the end of the book too)

Jackson, Dylan, Jakob, Justin, Jared, Hillary, Sarah, Sophia, Ethan, Nate and Mason

>>9781096
I think it makes it more appealing. It's bright and pretty.

Going to try and call out a couple of very common Western names that should read Don Quixote.

Liam, Peter, Katie, Thomas, Mark, Luke, Mike, Stuart, George, Cameron, Craig, Gregory, Joel, Shaun, Nicola, Gary.

>>9781238
Agreed. Although I love the original book, I can't pass up cutesy manga art done well.

im listening to the antlers now and that part where he goes SYYYYYYLLLVVVIIIIIIIAAAA is kinda the only reason i mentioned the name

Have a double name, never gets called obviously

First half's John. I'll read whatever the person who can guess the second half suggests.

>>9781253
If it has the original text, then I don't see a problem with the Japanese style illustration.

>>9781399

Joseph?
It really is a great book, but it made me collect books and data in a hoarder manner. Now I want to pile value for some reason, and I sometimes wonder what would they think of the shelf if they were to dig it out after an apocalypse.

>>9781250
I was planning on re-reading it actually. I think i'm gonna do it soon

>>9781399
First of all, I'll presume you're brazillian. Because that's a thing we do here.

Mate, where were you the other day?? I made a thread about Runaway Horses and literally nobody replied. It made me feel sad and like I don't want to start discussions about books anymore :(

>>9781936
I want to read it because i like Mann a lot, but it's so fucking long. I don't know if i want to read a heavily reigious 2000 pages book. It'd overwhelming

>>9781969
You just have to be in the mood for it.
I wasn't when I tried, and I didn't finish it, but what I can tell, is that the biblical theme is very well executed, and that the prose is great.
My teacher told me once that Mann writes in a way that suggest he wants to write a novella but he keeps going on, and he doesn't stop well until it's two volumes long.

>>9781964
Sorry to hear that, man. The amount people talk about Mishima here you would think they read his tetralogy.

>>9781232
Looks neat desu. Thanks for the lead, anon.
>tfw your name manages to get dropped twice in one thread

>>9782186
That's certainly truth for The Magic Mountain. It apparently started as a novella. I doubt it would have worked well as a novella though

You should start name-dropping your own name around here from time to time and maybe someone will pick it up subconsciously? idk ;_;
