Cool.

I thought you didn't like reading books. I guess I was wrong.

Russia is the correct answer. USA, UK and Russia = god tier. Sorry France, Balzac and Flaubert are garbage, Camus is overrated and Sartre is mediocre at best.

Russia had only one decent author in it's whole history, and that was Maxim Gorky. See, I can be retarded too. You don't have a monopoly on idiocy.

Russia, Germany, and France

You might be forgetting that the some of the most foremost writers of the golden era of Russian literature LOVED French literature. The favorite writers of Dostoevsky, for instance, were Hugo and Balzac (yes, Balzac).

>>1230735
>You had only one decent author in your whole history and thats Thoreau
Walt Whitman
H. P. Lovecraft
Ernest Hemingway
Thomas Pynchon
David Foster Wallace
Kurt Vonnegut
Mark Twain
Ernest J. Gaines

Thanks for your additions. I didn't forget them all, though. My point was simply to show that Thoreau is not the only respectable American writer, and that comment was completely absurd.
