We need more exit-level lit. Post some books and I'll add them later to a new list.

Meanwhile, books that aren't on the list:

>No Longer Human
>The Setting Sun
by Osamu Dazai

>Suicide
by Edouard Leve

>Flowers for Algernon
by Daniel Keyes

>Werther
by Goethe

>> No.6517345

Yes, let's become /mu/ with these retarded chart threads.

>> No.6517349

>>6517337
>>Flowers for Algernon
>by Daniel Keyes
>>Werther
>by Goethe

Those books are entry-level as fuck.

What does exit-level even mean? Are they the last books you should read before you stop reading altogether?

Needs some Artaud and Broch imo.

also

>no Celine
>Piers Plowman
Might be exit-level in the sense that the tedium of reading a 14th century allegorical religious epic poem would be too much to bear

Celine is trash.

Given the books that theme doesn't make any sense. How does Motorman deal with or encourage suicide?

>> No.6518281

>>6518231
"Exit-level" doesn't refer to suicide. It's a term /lit/ made up in reference to lesser-known novels that are recommended by uncommonly well-read or erudite posters. TLDR; it's the opposite of entry-level.

>> No.6518303

>>6518281
No, the creator of the char intended it for books that induce melancholy, sorrow, and/or suicidal tendencies. Your newfag is showing.

We don't take kindly to them thar intentional fallacies round these parts boy.

Well, if the criteria for exit-level are depressing and relatively obscure, I would recommend The Red Laugh by Leonid Andreyev, The Necrophiliac by Gabrielle Wittkop, and Log of the USS the Mrs. Unguentine by Stanley Crawford.

But again, given the books that theme doesn't make any sense either. Everyone on this board and their mother has read Stoner, and that's been true for years. Also, while most of the books on the list that I've read are good, or at least solid, Motorman isn't that great. I think it's just another jumbled selection of books someone made into a chart, and given that it doesn't serve any purpose I wish people would stop posting it.

To some people cultural activities exist to build capital. It's a game that you clock and once you've gained the required amount of capital to abate your insecurities you're done, hence exiting.
