shut up, a plot encompasses everything at high enough detail. saying "i don't read for plot" is like saying "i dont live to experience", it makes no sense.

"This is no place for a crowned goddess," said Florentino Ariza, the passionate correspondant of the young beauty Fermina Daza, with whom he nurtured a passionate platonic romance through letters for many years. Sadly, after a long travel when Fermina found herself to have grown both as a woman and as a person, she met Florentino Ariza in person and as he uttered those words, she realized he was but an ugly piece of her own imagination. What she did not imagine is that Florentino, even 50 years after, would reaffirm that he had accomplished his vow to dedicate his entire life for her.

That is all I can tell without spoiling the story.

Wife gets in an accident and prays for death to take her before her husband she has grown to detest can reach her deathbed. She succeeds and her grieving husband soon marries her jealous sister. A perfect pairing of shallow individuals who construct their values vicariously.

I am fucking autistic, I sit all day in my home and think about stupid shit. Did you know that some people are better than others? But I'm not better, I'm basically a white nigger if it comes to standard of living. So anyway, let me tell you a story of me being so autistic that I thought some random guy was making fun of me. Yeah, cringy but I don't give a fuck. Now hear this: I met some guys from my old school years that I hated and they hated me, but then I cut in a birthday party of one of them anyway. They were normies who didn't like me and didn't even try to hide it but I was so massively autistic I made it even worse for myself. Now, the best part of the story, I ended up in a brothel and paid for a whore, and instead of fucking her I talked to her and invited her to my home. God I miss her please come back

My favourite book doesn't have a story, it's very asumptous of you to assume that every book has a story. In my country in high school they taught us "be precise! don't say book, say novel, play, short story, biography, textbook!"
my favorite book happens to be a textbook
thank you for your atention
