i'm usually a /co/mrade, but i decided to explore a little bit.
what are popular topics on /lit/?
any all-around loved or hated authors?
do banned books come up frequently?
can we discuss Terry Pratchett?

Unfortunately he's pretty much spot on. We're not nearly as bad as /sci/ with the religion stuff. I'd also like to clarify that we talk about how much we hate Ayn Rand.

David Foster Wallace is awesome btw, fuck anybody who tells you differently. But that's just my opinion.
