This is without doubt the single greatest piece of literature i have ever laid eyes upon and as such it transcends the gender spectrum and should be read by the collective of humanity

Woah

I’ve read very few of the poems(about 5). I will not read anymore, it’s not worth it. It doesn’t add anything to a person, that a person shouldn’t already thought about.
The ideas in the poem are not well thought out, there is a lack of emotion and awareness. Every poem I read gave the same vibe, the same jest. There was nothing surprising in form or language. Very unoriginal.

One blurb says that it's a "book that every woman should read". I'll leave it up to you to come to a conclusion here.

>>12356455
People were saying this like two years ago when we made that year's top 100.
I visited r/books recently (before this most recent chart), and it was barely distinguishable from /lit/. The only difference was in the somewhat more left political inclinations. At this point I'd say 3/4 of 4chan also visits reddit, so it's pointless to complain.

Didn't really notice such preferences. They seemed middle-brow, mostly.

Yeah, if muh cannon is made of entry-level Greeks and Russians, and epic meme Anglos, sure.

The clue's in the name: it's a subreddit for books, not literature. /lit/ is a board for literature, not books.

Czeched. Dudebro just needs a few screenshots - maybe set a few to memory - to impress his naughty thotty. She would never expect him to remember all of them, and the bulk that he "forgets" have no real value to which he needs to reference anyways.
