>dude read these authors that i like or kys lmao

If you had asked nicely or given some positive critique of their works, I honestly would have considered reading them. I really did buy a work from a relatively unknown author at the urging of one anon.

But you. You're the reason why no one takes art seriously. You're the reason why even when great works exist, they go unappreciated due to their "fans" (if you can even call them that) being truly autistic, incapable of understanding how being an abrasive ass will make people ignore you.

>Then Daumier looked at Celeste and saw that the legs on her were as long and slim as his hope of Heaven and the thighs on her were as strong and sweet-shaped as ampersands and the buttocks on her were as pretty as two pictures and the waist on her was as neat and incurved as the waist of a fiddle and the shoulders on her were as tempting as sex crimes and the hair on her was as long and black as Lent and the movement of the whole was honey, and he sank into a swoon.

The Tunnel is the most tumescent, turgid bullshit I've ever read. Complexity and density doesn't necessitate quality when your prose is shite.
