Has any anon here successfully managed to mould their girlfriend into a certified /lit/ girl? My 18 y/o girlfriend ticks all the boxes for your basic social media damaged performative art hoe reader at the moment. She buys new books multiple times a month based on tiktok recommendations and her erotica obsessed girlfriends. Her bookshelf looks like an LGBTQ flag and her goodreads is filled with books she hasn't read yet.

However, she is young and she does in fact read quite a lot (even if it unfortunately is trash). When I was 18 I barely read at all so I know that a change is possible (didn't start reading /lit/ stuff until I turned 20, I'm 22 now). I was thinking of introducing her to the /lit/ world by getting her to read The Bell Jar, Lolita, Picture of Dorian Gray and The Secret History. After that, I might throw in a The Sun Also Rises, American Psycho, The Collector etc. What do you guys think about this plan, could it work? Any books in particular that I should get her to read? How can I best cultivate internal motivation within her to make sure that she actually wants to read the stuff?

Don't introduce her with Lolita, she'll just assume you're trying to tell her something and will stop talking to you.

I never said I wasn't one, I'm just going based on what I imagine my mother would react with.

Women love the Russians, pretty much every woman I know loves Tolstoy and Dosto.

Because I find it an enriching experience to discuss books that I have read with other people. It is one of the main reasons for why I come to this place, for example.

>>20368163
I can see where you are coming from but she has already shared some Nabokov-written love letters with me, so suggesting Lolita wouldn't come completely out of the blue

I will keep this in mind for sure, thanks
