>title of book is a quote from Shakespeare
I bet you're the type of /r/books-browsing pseud who thinks 'pretentious' stands alone as a valid criticism of a book, and that 'Shakespeare is overrated'
>quoting from Homer
Nobody does this, though.

You strike me as someone who would love infinite jest though. Seeing as you are more than likely poorly read and start green text threads.
Yeah, Sound and the Fury is shit...

>>7328530
This. Dismissing something on the basis of it appearing pretentious is the ultimate form of pretentiousness.
>>7328544
Yeah? So what?
I haven't read that book, but can a book that has sold millions of copies qualify as bad?
>>7328531
As I lay Dying
The Wine-Dark Sea
Have his Carcase
>>7328553
yes
>>7328531
Ulysses
>>7328582
Okay to be fair that's not really a quote.
>>7328592
Oh no I am agreeing completely with your point. It just so happens that that book is fucking terrible.

>video games
>art

Viper yourself

>meme
No its simply the truth faggot

i would love to see her mouth agape and her eyes lolling about like that because of my dick deforming her cervical walls.
>>7328553
yes, very easily. reality imitates mathematics—it's the principle of the lowest common denominator. things with the least value are propagable to the most number of people
>>7328650
That would only be true if the book cost less than other books. Which it probably doesn't.
>title of the book is important to the plot and is namedropped in the climax of the story
Pretty cool desu.

Faulkner did nothing wrong
I haven't been here in about two years. It's exactly the same as when I left.
Farewell, /lit/.
>>7328624
>implying video games aren't art
All entertainment is art. Fuck off.
>>7328727
As bad as /lit/ is, you won't get philosophical or literary discussion of this caliber anywhere else, especially if you live in the Midwest.

>I hate memes and shitposts
Look, I get it. But what were you expecting? I think your decision is more indicative of yourself than you realize, to return to a board with memes and shitposts while decrying memes and shitposts.
>>7329673
Fuck.
