Right, anon! And the fault in our stars is a playful rumination of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám!

Nibba 4/5 post in this thread are me. I'm actually product of government psyop and now im some schizoid who has to pretend that im really into inherent vice are archaic Vietnamese basket weaving forums so that people will listen to me when I say that Adonais was written by MARY Shelley about her undisclosed (unless you read her letters) crush on Keats, and never touched the brain of Percy.

While I have you, strangle-tie-tied academics with their untrimmed beards and dry dicks greatly underestimate how influential the nibelungenlied was to western European thought. But they all jerk off to the aeneid. Did you know that more people processed the nibelungenlied in its time than ever even heard the aeneid? The upperclass loved it and would frequently make inside jokes about it in their circle socials. If you don't believe me, read the letters of the time

The "I like 48 cocks in my Cheerios" quote. Seriously, how has no one pointed it out yet? Pic is kind of unrelated...he really likes cereal analogies--I think there may be some trama there.

I used to cheat on a girl who read John Green, and got roped into reading one or two of his books.
If memory serves, it's amazingly accurate. As a basic structure, it's pretty accurate.

That Anon wrote basically the plot of Looking For alaska except the manic pixie dream girl died before the book started instead of half way through

>> No.19607210

Have read: Looking For Alaska, Will Grayson Will Grayson, Abundance of Katherines, Fault in our stars

Of all of them Will Grayson Will Grayson was the most interesting I think but Green only wrote half of it. Still though as a book and concept its clever enough and the story culminates well for an ok ending

Funny enough a girl in my class once made a presentation about looking for alaska and I really didn't give a fuck, then I saw some quote that I could really relate to and ended reading it. The twist still got me and I was kinda sad. But alaska would be a waifu desu
