Ameriburgers usually destroy the threads of the few non-English authors they know by projecting modern alt-right or antifa views on them. They simply ignore the thread if the book isn't already a /lit/ meme or suitable for spamming 'tranny' and 'incel' ad nauseam.

I see quite a bit of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I think global lit needs to first be good, and second have a really clean translation to make it into the western sphere of literary circle enjerkment. I'd love to read more African, Indian, and Latin American literature, ad I find their culture and lifestyle is usually much more interesting and difficult than le typical spoiled westerner. Any suggestions with good translation OP?

Okay, name one literary text by an Indian writer then and Mahabharata and Ramayana don't count. Those texts would be long forgotten if they weren't the only thing Indians ever wrote so they stick to those, even built an entire religion around some retarded philosophy that somehow appeals to western atheists. And you wouldn't mention Abhignanashakuntalam and Kalidas but I know you will, you will because you have not actually read it.

Anglos are incredibly stupid. They aren't patriotic or nationalistic (well, except amerimutts) but nonetheless they can't help but stick to their shit. I don't know why they do it, it's probably a habit. It's not that they dislike other cultures, it's just that they lack curiosity and will of expanding their brains. You can tell this even from the way they act in those rare cases when they go on holiday: they might be surrounded by monuments of a foreign culture, or a natural landscape they have never seen, and yet they spend all day at the hotel drinking beers or coffee, speaking to each other and not trying to meet new people. They might have the most beautiful tropical sea within walking distance and yet they dive into the hotel pool. They could try new dishes and new types of cuisine, and yet they choose to eat eggs and bacon and other slop they're used to. I say fuck them, comrade. French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese literatures are not inferior to theirs, let's make our own threads to discover new books that are not memes!

Let's be honest guys. English architecture is cool, especially Scotland's. Edinburgh is probably one of the most aesthetic cities on Earth. As for literature, they can be respected for their six romantic poets and, moving to America, for a few big boy novels that are actually good (I'm thinking about Melville or Faulkner). But yeah, everything else is shit.
