There's already been half a dozen threads on this if not more. There's already an active one in the catalog with Pynch's smiling face on it. We know you're triggered by those nasty feminazis but stop posting the same fucking thread endlessly.

>My father loved The Old Man and the Sea, so I tried to love it. It left me unmoved. Mostly, I kept hoping the fish would get away without too much damage

Ohhh you can read who recommends it at the end. This is from Jeff VanderMeer. The guy is such a faggot

Yes, this. It’s stupid, almost everything in the “article” is wrong and their recommendations are mostly bad (though the Alchemist is truly trash). Still, who cares? Sage.

>Don't read these books by actual war veterans about war, read these books by neverserveds about war instead

Yeah but you can't ignore the fact that books about WWI have a serious problem with female and POC representation.

thread no 3424 on this and still everyone is missing the forest for the trees by getting triggered over the justifications. the whole point is that the article is by and for pretentious middle-class emotional wrecks who feel the compulsion to be "readers" but for whom actual reading is nothing but painful boredom punctuated by savage anxiety over "not getting it", like that dream where you came to a test unprepared and all the questions are gibberish except you're actually awake and trying to read infinite jest on the bus. the "alternatives" they suggest are just a smokescreen and the actual value is in telling you there's a racist joke near the end of "goodbye to all that" so you can refuse to read it in mock outrage without putting yourself through the hell that actually forming an opinion is for these people. your anger is pointless, you should be feeling pity.

Mata Hari is one of the most well known and popular subjects of WWI literature.

[Anonymous No.11048468]

Jokes on them because my pathological contrarianism is now compelling me to read all of these books.

Mata Hari was a Dutch woman LARPing as an oriental.

So? Dusty Springfield's an Irish woman masquerading as a country and western drag act, she's still the one singing Son of a Preacherman.

You can’t deny that feminists and male enjoyment are antithetical. They just keep proving it over and over again. Their hostility cannot be denied.
