Listen to "Niggas in Paris" by Kanye West and Jay Z. Pynchon was inspired by that song when he wrote Gravity's Rainbow.

I remember when /lit/ trolled me into reading this shite.
Also American Gods.

I'll put my question here I guess. What are some books that deal with finding meaning in life when there doesn't seem to be any? I haven't read DFW, does he fit here?

Because my book is more addictive than cocaine. Once you take one sniff of my first paragraph your panties will moisten, your eyes will roll over, your tongue will loll out of your gaping mouth and your toes will writhe in orgasmic comedown. If you are 13-56 a woman and like to read, give me your money now.

I deal with contemporary themes and problems, trying to capture our zeitgeist

I haven't even finished writing it yet so fuck if I know.

He asked for the martian, get him the martian.
Don't be a pretentious faggot.

If you want to get him another book, fine, but at least get him what he asked for.

It's an alright book, ignore the /lit/ circlejerk. If he wants it give it to him.

>>7488411
Just get him what he bloody wants, smartass.

I know this is the only one I read and I didn't get it at all.
They say the book is good and influential and shit, but I just can't see it.
Please, explain, why is it considered even slightly good?

no. that would be the glass bead game.

narcissus and goldmund is also superior.

you can make an argument for journey to the east as well though it's not my personal preference.

I was studying Journalism at Harvard but got kicked out a couple of months before I graduated over some shit. Had to move in with my sister and her husband in the UK.
>mfw haven't even told our father yet

They might be OK but she didn't deserve the prize as she didn't actually write the books

>her

Yes

Do you have the chart for "Doorstopper Literature"?

Depends on what you do there.

Reading literature? Live there for all we care.

Writing? Have a novel next to your laptop. No one will judge you too harshly for it.

Jerking off? Try to do it in the 500s. No one will notice, or care.

Jerking off near the kids' section? Lord help you, you deserve to be judged.

>Reading literature? Live there for all we care.
I do this, im too scared to bring in my computer and work on other stuff because it might look bad

>>7488017
edit:
I actually read books not literature

>>7487956

There's already a thread about it.

Also, who the fuck cares.
