The Platonic Dialogues. For no other reason than that anyone else trying to do dialogues for something that isn't a play has been horrible at it.

My novel:
>Jack looked to his mother, she was out of her chair, walking along the beach, her sundress flowing and her hat nearly flying off her head. Jack noticed his father appearing out of the tree line. How was he not sweating in his suit? Jack didn't know. His father began to talk with his mother. It seemed like he was giving really bad news. His mother waved for Jack to get ready to leave.
>Jack was ready, the sun was really hot and he felt his skin beginning to burn. He reached into the ocean one last time before going home. Hoping to find something fun, perhaps another toy like last time. His hand dug through the sand, pluming the water with white. His fingers grasped onto something warm but smooth. He pulled it out, a cylindrical brass tube, tapered at the top. On the bottom was a silver button. Jack knew what this was, he always found them at the beach, nothing fun. He dropped the rifle casing and made his way to his mother, who was now crying.

No sé cuál es el más grande, pero el mayor logro literario fue seguramente "mi diaro," con la friolera de dos terabytes de datos, cubriendo todo, desde las "aventuras en la tienda de bolígrafos" del cronista hasta el "almuerzo innombrable." Este gran diario ha sido impreso en el papel más grande y grueso disponible y escrito con el bolígrafo más grande.

Obviously compensating but he doesn't appear to have been fucked for all of them because they share is unattractive facial features. His older daughters are at prime glow age and his wife is still more attractive because they took after him.

Sons are the final cuck. Solid chance they never reproduce, and even if they do, you can't be sure if it is yours. Daughters almost gaurentee the line goes on. Even a total loser and uggo daughter will have sex and be supported.

This. Just imagine, that the last time someone actually understood that shit. It caused him to write a fully detailed work of the mechanics of human society through history, whitch, provoked a wave of such strenght in the minds of people that completly changed the configuration of the world since the and the future to come.

I can only imagine what it would be like if just 10% of humanity understood the implications of these works.

While your average reader would most likely agree with one of you (depending of course on his predilections and biases) I have overcome this indecisive means of measure by calculating scientifically the quality of all literary works written (or rather, catalogued) and the result of my tireless efforts has been the revelation that the greatest literary achievement of the human race as a point of irrefutable fact was not but my very own diary desu.
