Tennyson was a fine poet, surely /lit/ is not so untravell'd to not know this schoolboy poem.

>> No.3953206

Fuck, not only Infinite Jest, but also your pretentious preconceived notion that anyone who has not wasted their time attempting to comprehend something that is not only roundabout but also intricate only on a surface level has wasted their life not preparing for what you, out of literally nothing more than a perfunctory impulse derived from popular public opinion, have arbitrarily deemed a necessary and redeeming landmark in literary scholarcy.

Indeed, surely this sci-fi classic by Campbell is often overlooked by /lit/ due to its genre bias. It'll become more of a problem when /sci/ or /x/ develop time travel.

>> No.3953328

All the crap about it on /lit/ - from the kinds of people who use terms like 'pleb' and 'patrician' without joking - has put me off reading it.

Now go on and call me a "samefag" like you were planning, when in fact it's no stretch of the imagination that more than one person could object to your foolish and vitriolic post.

I am really easily swayed toward not giving things a chance if the people who crap on about them are awful.
