Awesome choice. Shows personality and you don't come out as pretentious prick.

Like the rest of the people here.

I'm not trolling and i'm not a hipster. Apparently there's something wrong thoroughly enjoying a classic novel.

Nothing wrong with it, but Ulysses doesn't fall in the "written since 1965" category.

Yeah that's what I hate about /lit/. There's this elitism that unless you enjoy something modern or scfi/fantasy you then you don't 'understand' what you like or you're just being 'pretentious' by reading it.

'The Infernal Desire Machines of Dr. Hoffman' by Angela Carter.

For me, it's the greatest example of literary surrealism, as well as being one of the best novels of the twentieth century.
