>hey guys recommend me a book
>here read this ultra popular book a three seconds google search will show you
Why do you people do this?

>> No.13066860

>>13066851
Because reading is a dying activity, and most books that are popular are good, as most normies don't care for books.

>> No.13066866

>>13066851
If someone just says "reccomend me a book" without any specifics, /lit/ will interpret that to mean they arent very well read and will make recommendations accordingly.

More like lit only knows the popular entry level books.

>> No.13066891

>>13066851
The funny thing is you probably still haven’t read them, but you write them off simply because they are commonly recommended. Do you think your special? Faggot.

>> No.13066892

>>13066851
I think the complaint should be about people asking for book recommendations without being specific when we have loads of charts for different types of books and there are great reading lists all over the internet.

>> No.13066905

>>13066892
Both the charts and reading lists comprise entirely of entry level popular books. Face it: no one here dives deep into literature.

>> No.13066916

If you want an obscure book, ask for it.
Are you slow ?

Bud /lit/ isn't /mu/. There aren't thousands of writers per decade who are maybe okay. Reading a book isn't like listening to a 45 minute album. Almost no one on this board read books written within the last 30 years even.
>muh obscure 2019 writer
Is a dogshit writer. If not, they will be immediately canonized following their tragic, early death in 2027. Read the books people have recommended you, you underread teenage retard.

But that sounds like all the more reason to read unpopular books.

Hey butterfly thank you for following what I say.

Today, after work, go and buy a dog collar with my name on it : Tyler. Like put the collar around your neck with the engraving so everyone knows you’re my property.

Thank you :3

Not true bucko. There are many forgotten great writers no one knows because they're busy reading catcher in the rye or whatever. Also lit reads a lot of authors from the last 30 years.

You're making a really stupid comparison. Recorded music has only been around for a century, and in the beginning only in select countries. Literature has been around for thousands of years with thousands of cultures, countries, and peoples coming and going. Any--and I mean literally ANY--literature from the recording of Gilgamesh to ~1989 you'll be suggested is going to be popular in some capacity, however niche, through the sheer inevitability of the number of books being so much larger than the market able to support their continued existence, either through reprinting, web 1.0 websites shutting down due to disinterest, etc. This guy >>13067055 for example may have 66 reviews on Goodreads because Goodreads is Anglocentric but he's relatively well-known, if niche, in Romania. The only possible answers you're only get are going to be either self-promotion, fanfiction and the like, or books that only the poster owns and you can't access a copy to, and I guarantee you nothing that seems unique about those works will have anything that wasn't already done in something more popular like Lost in the Funhouse or a popular web 1.0 site. Please just fuck off.

We don't know anything about you because this is an anonymous forum. Why the fuck are you asking for recommendations? Of course you're going to get some basic shit.
