Are you a literal NPC? First you had trouble counting to two, now you're just copy and pasting your replies. Do you need some time to update before you can type anything new?
Please tell me my zero-effort shitpost didn't coincide with something some famous guy said earlier. It's gonna be a long day if everyone replies to this like "oh, I get it, you were referring to Shakespeare" when it's really an homage to Ed.
I intend on getting something literary once I finish my English degree (I need another for my anthropology major too) even though I'm not the best English major.
I've thought about getting something Shakespeare even though him and Tolkien are probably the most tattooed writers ever. But who cares as long as it speaks to you right? I just can't decide I've done all but one of the Shakespeare courses my school offers and there's a lot of good ones.
I'm looking at possible classic Disney too and I guess that counts since most of them were books first.
Having Harry Potter English majors pack themselves into creative writing courses with me to get verbally abused on workshop days was a highlight of my college experience.
Off topic, but in senior year I had a student teacher (some basic Mayo about to graduate college) and that motherfucker spent half a semester talking about Hunter S. Thompson. He showed us documentary footage, he passed out assignments that instructed us to write like Thompson, and insisted Thompson was the “realest” (whatever that means) author out there.
I have to thank him, because as a result of that semester, I never went through a Hunter S. Thompson phase.
What a load of normie books. At least these literary masterminds are showing everyone around them that they have pedestrian taste and poor decision making skills.
Hamlet, Slaughterhouse 5, LotR, Harry Potter, Camus, Narnia, Alice in Wonderland, Hitchhikers. I'm really surprised there's no Kafka or Lovecraft in there.
Its pretty bad when Watership Down, Dune, and Jane Eyre are the least normie ones mentioned in there.
It seems to be the number one book to read for people who wants to brag about being well read. “So it goes” is the perfect snappy phrase for pseudo-intellectuals, so it’s repeated endlessly in these threads while stuff from Jane Eyre isn’t.
And I guess that’s why people who feel like they’ve made a bigger investment into being obnoxious than those people like to shit so much on Vonnegut.
Theirs literally no difference between goebbels and a reputable source you imbecile, you fucking retard.
Idk tho, i still think if people realise its fiction (shouldnt be hard) and not quotable as fact its less a tale of nazi redemption and more a tale of PTSD and a reminder that our enemies are human to.
Yeah part of me thinks white college kids love Lovecraft so much because it gives then a chance to tisk tisk wacism. I was in a book club at my obnoxiously far-left college and every semester we read a Lovecraft short story. I tried to get us to read House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodgson (big influence on Lovecraft and imo better than anything he ever wrote), but apparently that wasn't aggressively normie enough. I like Lovecraft alright though so I was mostly okay with it. But then every discussion immediately sunk to "deet da dee, problematic". No discussion of the horror tradition, themes aside from race, devices used for macabre effect, nothing. I can't think of any other reason these pasty capeshit fans like him so much.
it would be fine talking about the author and their subtexts and how we see them today, but if that's the only thing you talk about thats some wack shit.
I'm an unabashed Watership Downsie fan so I can't judge the /r/books crowd too hard. But they should really experiment with temp-banning it in discussion, along with Tolkein, Harry Potter, Orwell, Hitchhikers etc.
"That which exists without my knowledge, exists without my consent" would make an unironically cool tattoo for someone white trash enough to ink themselves.
Harry Potter is so dumb. It's the most simplistic children's book bullshit ever. The characters have no depth, no layers, they're either all PURELY GOOD or PURELY EVIL and it's why people use it to politicize a point. Because it's easy to group those you disagree with as THE EVIL LE VOLDEMORT BECAUSE THEY'RE PURE EVIL

There was a litter of "Harry Potter English Majors" in my department, but I never had the misfortune to confront a Disney English Major.

I reckon Slaughterhouse 5 is less normie than Jane Eyre.

Slaughterhouse 5 was a high school reading book for me. So was Jane Eyre but way more people read Vonnegut.
1 Box_xx 2019-01-12
Ah, im a britbong so we get force fed shakespeare here
1 VapeOnYourNape 2019-01-12
Jane Eyre is longer and more boring so the normy award goes to Slaughterhouse 5.
1 Firnin 2019-01-12
it's normie enough that every chucklefuck and his mother on reddit quotes the nazi propaganda in that book
1 Box_xx 2019-01-12
Nazi propaganda? Denying the US did bad things too is not very centrist, sweaty 😘
1 Firnin 2019-01-12
no no no, the numbers vonnegut gives for dresden come directly from Herr Goebbels

/r/books has always been trash and always will be.
They read the same 50 books then move on to a never-ending diet of YA books and fantasy.

I remember someone on the Latin subreddit wanted a Latin translation of “abandon all hope, ye who enter” for a tattoo across their crotch.
There was also someone who wanted a Latin tattoo of “always do the right thing” until they found out the Latin translation was “semper fac rectum”
It’s over for Latin-tattoocels
