The Final Solution

Genrecide get it I'm being clever kekeke kitsch is worst kitsch. Modern American Jews fetishize Jewishness (and for them Jewishness is always and only persecution) like white suburban kids fetishize negroid culture. Pig disgusting.

A sitcome called "Say, Jim" about Star Trek - need I say more?

Oh man, I agree completely OP. To Have and have not was ass.

I don't really like Hemingway on the best of days. I'll hit this thread with;

Dostoyevsky - The Double
John Steinbeck - The Grapes of Wrath

couldn't agree with you more.

oh and Steinbeck never committed a bad story to the page, you philistines.

The Shape of Things to Come. H.G. Wells.

>> No.1097293

The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens. While I love parts of it and certain characters, it was a chore most of the time. I feel like I'd like it more if I re-read it though.
