Alright /lit/ let's make this quick
Last weekend I tried to impress my yuppie friends with my new apartment but they noticed I don't have anything in my book cabinet except for computer science and finance books. What books should I buy to impress them next time theyre over for a drink? I don't care much for reading but if some books are actually worth the time than that would be good too I guess. Thanks in advance

Some French faggots, like Foucault, Derrida, Baudrillard. Learn some passages by heart and throw at you friends. Also some pop-Buddhist book, "ancient Eastern wisdom" and shit.

I don't think you know what a hipster is.

And a yuppie and hipster are two different things.

This is why people should stop using dead words.

Get some Bret Easton Ellis, Jonathan Franzen, David Foster Wallace et al. up in that bitch. Basically any late 20th century young white American authors.
