I have to disagree. There's still lots of great books without movie adaptions, either because the author won't let them or because they're hard to adapt.

I mean On The Road and Great Gatsby are only just now getting films and there still isn't a Catcher in the Rye movie.

Stick to Stephen King or something. Don't bother with Joyce, Proust, Faulkner, Henry James, nor Virginia Woof. Actually, don't bother with anyone who excelled in writing. Stick to the plot-driven plebe-tier garbage.

I've already been very clear on this, can't you read? I don't care about him liking some book. I just think that he's a hipster, and a cunt. Hence Hipster Cunt.

It's not fucking rocket science, can you at least pretend to try and keep up?
