/lit/ is a fucking cesspool. The literary equivalent of /v/. You guys aren't here to discuss about books, you're here only to shit on each other's opinions either out of spite,mischief or simply because you cannot handle different opinions than yours.
Either go out of 4chan or go slit your fucking throats because you are probably going to do that anyway sooner or later since someone who isn't pleased with anything can only live for so much before committing suicide.
