>>7918694
Yay! I did it!
I need to make a second goodreads. Mine is half-full of stuff I'd read for work, so the recommendations are all outta whack.
It's such a good system, though. I found some great books through it.

Beware of books with a black aura
>>7922063
None yet, although I'm currently reading Anna Karenina and it's definitely going to get 5 stars
>>7922134
why? it's a cheap melodrama with a dumbass for a self-insert
>>7922063
The Old Man and the Sea
Stoner
The Emperor of All MaladiesSteelheart and Firefight
>>7922173
not op, but i liked anna karenina enough to give it a high rating too. sure it was long winded at times and the melodrama seemed silly, but i found merit in its exploration of the fulfilled life- among other things.
>>7922063

It's this kind of poignant and revolutionary critiques of the treasures of world literature that makes me realize what intellectual powerhouses inhabit /lit/.
>>7922364
Whenever people say /lit/ is shit, I point to posts like these as a rebuttal. Thank you anon, wherever you are.
>>7922477
"muh obscure shit"
>>7922488
i know the feeling, can i see your gr anon? interested in seeing what your taste looks like.
>>7922063
Moby Dick

Might be giving The Trial 5 stars too, currently reading it.
Here's my dreadful page: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/40786105-oliver-bagshaw
As audiobooks count as books read, say you went to see a play or watched it online would that count as it contains the whole script, would you add it?
>>7922590
literature isnt xbox achievements faggot
>>7922478
I just had a look at the catalog: 1 GGR Matin; 4 DFW; 1 John Green; 2 Joyce; 1 Nabokov, 1 Pynchon; 1 Faulkner; 2 Stirner, 1 Proust; 1 DeLillo; countless memes.
And deep down you know it's more or less the same every day.
This board wishes to distance from /mu/ so bad that any book that isn't circlejerked is instantly disregarded as obscure shit.
People refrain from reading anything slightly less discussed because they wouldn't be able to show how /lit/ they are.
Eventually, you'll be wishing for a bit more.

obviously when the board's demographic is early twenties undergrads everyone's going to be reading the books you read when you were an early twenties undergrad.

The rec are whack anyway.
I use lit goodreads updates. Just add as friend people with similar literary tastes.
>>7920056
You look like a fucking plagiarist if so.
Hack literally copied everything from Ragnar Redbeard. Wasn't even as charming either.
