It's the best possible example of the stifling and soul-crushing aspects of the Heideggerian term Das Man.

What would the meme editions of the other two be?

Is there any reason to?

My favorite book is Mason and Dixon.

I don't hate women in particular but I do hate poor people and roughly half of all poor people are women.

>>8077401
my favorite book is lolita. its easily the most emotional, passionate book ive ever read. i also love the great gatsby, even though a lot of people call it a pleb book. just because a book can be accessible to plebs doesn't mean it isnt patrician. gatsby has a lot of depth, but plebs manage to enjoy the book without noticing that depth

i dont hate women, but i am desperately alone, and at times that makes me resent women

Vindication of the rights of women - only feminist book you need, the rest is trash.

>>8077073
Well, if you let peoples words hurt you then you're weak. It's a fact. It's not like they're smacking you in the face with a rock or physically assaulting you. If you spend a year in a ghetto neighborhood you'll get insulted just about every other time you leave the house.

Of Mice and Men
Almost all Shakespeare

You can probably finish The Catcher in the Rye in 2-3 sittings

>>8077041
Of Mice and Men has a sad ending tho. I'm especially looking for books that are "comfy." Shakespeare seems like a good idea, thanks anon.

biz marcus and the fat tyrant teacher are opposed to being yourself, they're all about forcing yourself to conform to some spook of what is natural, which ironically requires decidedly forced behaviour.

It's a difficult life to live, but working is even worse.

My work schedule changes all the time, so my routine is constantly changing. I mean, it's 2:30 AM and here I am at work.

Also, how is this /lit/?

you mean they should be legally allowed to urinate in the same bathroom?

They generally have pictures, don't they?

Explain to me how light novels differ from more verbose picture books. What makes them "light"?

The clue is in the name. They're not very mentally demanding or intense.

some of them enjoy writing or feel the need to write things out and when you have a lot of time to do it you do it

I think you know the answer to this anon. Not even a half, no, a fourth, or his books are well thought out in the slightest. And the one's that have something going for them have some of the shittiest endings I've ever seen.

Better example would be RL Stine's copious number of Goosebumps books he's written. Not one of them is not utter formulaic trash that's even bad by YA-standards

A century of socialist theory and glorification of the state.

It wasn't the book.

It was his top tier oration that got him into power. Once he'd done that he made everyone buy his shitty book.
