What are some books that I can carry around that would make me look edgy? Keep in mind, I don't intend to read them, they are just for appearance.

All bitches go crazy for Camus. That's how I can tell he's a hack and not worth bothering with.

>> No.3966512

Mein Kampf
L'étranger
The God Delusion
Something racist about Jews
Something racist about black people
Unabomber manifesto
A Clockwork Orange
The list could go on, but those are some good entry-level edgy books. I guarantee that people will cross the street when they see you approaching with these books.

Celine and Sade are our Frenchlord saviors of edgy. Plus, at least one of them is a god-tier writer.

Print out Breivik's (or Dorner's manifesto) slap a cover on it emblazed with "MUDSLIME/PIG KILLER'S MANIFESTO" and flaunt your inherent racial/moral superiority around like a celebrity does with money.

>> No.3966605

Definitely The Stranger.

But only if it's swastikas on the cover. Go for the "yin-yang" edition.

Here's my suggestion. This book. This edition. Everything else is pure shit. Also The Turner Diaries or some other book where the cover design looks home made yet powerful. Extra brownie points for badly hidden sexual symbolism.

Breivik's manifesto is 1500 pages long and half of it is quotes. The other half is probably plagiarism.

It is also interesting that he doesn't show any familiarity with two of the things he claims to defend; The Bible and the norweigan classics. If anything, Breivik is basically internet culture without the ironic distance.

So yes, a pritntout of the Breivik manifesto is quad fedora-core.

I think that might actually get you arrested here in Canada. That is, if the lynch mob doesn't get you first.
