You can use any book as a normie filter if you yourself have the knowledge to discern.

It is. However, it doesn‘t make it the lost understood book. And that is the issue at hand.

Faust Pt. II. Most particularly the episode where homunculus has his oceanic apotheosis, his exquisite dissolve. To even attempt to interpret it to normal people--most particularly to those with vain pretensions to the contrary--is utterly pointless.

Your shit novel could be the least known book in the world but it doesn't mean it will be a hard "filter", the Bible is the most sold book ever but few people have read it even less people understand it.

The Ego and his own, If you have read it you are automatically not a normie because normies don’t care about that shit.
In second place I’d say something like Catcher in the Rye or The Stranger, normies can’t relate therefore it’s a bad book.

My friend gave up on tkol 49 after the first few chapters. When I read it in highschool I had trouble with the beginning too but I finished the book because its like 100 pages long and I'm not a fucking retard. Can't say I took a lot away from it yet
