/lit/ What books does your girlfriend read?

>> No.2173453

*boyfriend:

Michael Crichton
Star Trek novelizations
Star Wars novelizations
Some Vonnegut
Fight Club

He's not a big reader, but I leave books in the bathroom for him because he takes really long shits. Probably going to throw Catch-22 at him next.

Woman porn.

Kelley Armstrong, shit like that. I got her to read the Road the other day, and she hated it. She is reading through Wicked at the moment, which is cool I guess.

I tried to get her to read Fight Club, but made the mistake of showing her Guts first, so now she won't go anywhere near Chucky P. She considers all my books, which are admittedly all either entry-level or 'books you should read' with a few other things sprinkled in, to be utter wankery.

I am currently dating Marieke Hardy

Probably a good thing she didn't read Fight Club. She might have found out you are gay. Dodged a bullet there bro.

My ex never usually read on her own terms (besides Phillip K. Dick which I was impressed with), but I would always give her shit to read. I remember her really enjoying:

Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon
Battle Royale by NipnockChingChong
House of Leaves by something Danielski
Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman by Haruki Murakami

All I can remember. Last girl I've been with that was content just sitting together reading for an hour or so, occasionally discussing something that had come up. She may not have had a taste of her own, but she was eager to try new things.

Aw, that's not Hungarian at all. And Murakami and Roy aren't exactly authors you should feel plebeian for not reading.
