You might have a different pick, but acting like it isn't clearly on the short list of correct answers is retarded. Took the #1 spot on Le Monde's 100:

It's not on the short list. You could come up with more obscure and currently insignificant works that match "unrepentant Arab killer", I suppose, and they would be more appropriate than l'Etranger.

Either bait or genuinely low IQ. I'm not surprised that you love The Stranger and shit on Ulysses.

>>11741743
I actually like Ulysses a lot, I just also recognize it shits on Irish nationals. He could've written a great novel about anything, it's James Joyce, but for some reason he hated his own people and deliberately made it about the least Irish Irish person conceivable.

Do you have a history of homoerotic banter on /lit/ with a guy named Nathan, or is this a reference to pop culture I'm missing here? Only association I can think of with Nathan is that one fast food place with the really good fries.

Stop shitposting and write something about Joyce and/or great national novels. You don't have a good grasp on humor. You don't seem to know how to do anything other than lean heavily on the shock vulgarity crutch. Maybe try following your local stand-up venue circuit for a while with a notepad to jot down ideas or take some improv classes at a community college. A lot of it might be a natural talent issue, but I'm sure there's at least some room for improvement through hard work out there for you.
