ITT: books that /lit/ trolled you into reading
>not liking if on a winter's night
pleb detected
this book is actually a great filter - if you actually enjoyed reading and literature there's no reason for you to dislike it. if you're a fraudulent pseudointellectual faggot (aka most of lit tbqhwyf) you'll hate it
so grats op, you've successfully outed yourself as a pleb retard.
I can appreciate his command of language. I like some weird lit, but I just don't like this.
>>7455275
I never see this mentioned hereIt's a good book though and you're a pleb piece of trash
>>7455308
?? it gets mentioned all the time
lurk moar faggot
I didn't like it either OP.
The first couple chapters were a delight, but then it seemed to lose all its playfulness and become masturbatory circular bullshit.
Turned me off Calvino for a long time. Thankfully I gave Csomicomics a try though and it was the fucking tops. I'm planning to read Baron in the Trees soon.

>lurk moar faggot
Really just means "waste even more of your life here". Horrible advice, really.

Hypersphere

No, it's a reminder that you're an idiot who doesn't have a clue what they're talking about. Your rationalization is weak and obvious
>>7455313
>it gets mentioned all the time
It doesn't though. Telling me to lurk moar isn't going to change my opinion
>>7455382
but it does.
but its irrelevant we shouldnt be arguing since we both agree op is dumb. we should be focusing our hatred on op and calling him a faggot.
>>7455382
It gets mentioned all the time you faggot. I bet you browse from mobile
do you have a lazy eye?
>>7455279
exactly what i thought
Should I read 'If on a winter's night a traveller' or 'invisible cities' first ?

>hurr durr i trole u
fuck off
>>7455693
I'm genuinely confused by your post. My local bookstore has both books and I want to know which one I should buy.
>>7455403
calvino has made every top 100 /lit/ has ever made
>>7455833
Nigga there are so many of those books that /lit/ shits on and never discusses
Don't give me that
>>7455844
No, it's often a good measure of what /v/ reads.
>>7455854
profanity is the sign of a weak intellect
>>7455769
You're just perpetuating the troll of getting new posters to think Calvino is good and If On a Winter's Night is worth reading. Begone
>>7455769
I'd read Invisible Cities first, to be honest with you desu. Both are worth a read, and he's not a hard writer to get into where there's specific entry points
It was worth it.
>>7455871
If you think Calvino isn't good then you could have just said that. my post made it clear that I haven't read any Calvino so I'm obviously not trying to convince anyone that he's a good writer.

>tfw ur too late

>>7455326
>reading comprehension
>>7455275
In my top 10 books of all time, no doubt.
Id ask you to tell me why you didn't like it but I already know that it's cuz you just have atrocious taste
>>7456157
It was a beetle goddamnit.
>>7456164
Are you fucking retarded? re-read that guys post and then tell me what i did wrong, faggot
>>7455362
The single most important and influential piece of fiction written in the last century
>>7455275
shit sucked
someone on /lit/ trolled me into finding a copy of and reading Women and MenI will spend the rest of my life reading and rereading on thank you so fucking much
>>7455275
You are welcome, you pleb. That's a great book.
>>7456480
I know it's a different book, but your post reminded me
>be 18 years old
>find copy of men without women in school library
>the mountain goats have just released a new album
>go to library every lunch, listen to new tMG, read hemingway
>there's only one tiny little portable heater in the upstairs library section, sit next to it looking out window at ice covered football oval
damn, that was a comfy as fuck feeling. too bad the school is building a new library and demolishing the old one soon
You are a QT OP
Jesus this thread went to shit.
But tbqfh senpai, /lit/ made me want to read. I changed from STEM to English and started reading and writing a fuckton. I read pynchon all through high school, and I just had a Skype conversation with my honors professor at uni and I think Im gonna end up writing my senior thesis on Mason and Dixon.
/lit/ completely changed my life and I just hope that the feeling doesnt go away and I start to regret devoting my life to books instead of money and success.
>>7457581
It's Mason & Dixon you philistine, the entire book is contained in the ampersand. "Mason and Dixon", jesus christ.

it was like a good 2 hour long anal gangbang session on speed and you shoot the fattest load you've ever shot and the ravaged whore on the floor leaps up and catches it midair on her tongue
>>7457581
im on the course from transitioning from being an english lit grad to being useful in business (in short - ive learnt university level maths, economics, spanish, french and cs on my own time for the past 5 years while working)
your life is what you want to make of it, you can retrain even in your 30s, do what you enjoy - especially in your youth
