I don't want to sound like that guy, but it was probably for show or curiosity.
All i've ever heard of her was that she was incredibly dense.
Ivy league /lit/ major ?
>wow a woman who reads??? how surprising lol
Misogyny in disguise, OP.
If this was a male, even a male actor mostly known for being attractive, you wouldn't think twice of it.
The average woman reads more than the average man, this is a well-known statistic.

She did marry Arthur Miller, no doubt she had some degree of interest in the humanities and literature.

Please, most women who read read whatever is a NYT bestseller or is in front of their face with a 6 pack on the cover as soon as you enter the library. And most women consider reading flipping through shit on their phone as they binge watch shit on hulu
>>8099564
>implying franco doesn't get absolutely shat on
The fact that she was literally famous for being pretty (and dumb).
I don't think an Audrey Hepburn being well read would cause the same reaction.
>>8099564
they only read trash, men read proper literature. they only read trash like YA and Harry Potter and John Green.
women are defined by their looks, because that's all they're good for.
Men are creaters and make something of themselves. That's why a wellread man is not a surprise because we expect it of men. men are inherently more better at making themselves into a PERSON, whereas women are objects FOR MEN

This holds true in my personal experience as well. Not one of my boys has read more than a couple books, and, of course, those were merely for school. So none then. Meanwhile most girls I speak of books with at least read scifi or romance or what have you. That's something, no?

Marlon James:
“While she recognizes how much she was pandering to the white man, we writers of colour spend way too much time pandering to the white woman … astringent, observed, clipped, wallowing in its own middle-style prose and private ennui, porn for certain publications.”
“If I pandered to a cultural tone set by white women, particularly older white female critics, I would have had 10 stories published by now,” he continued. “Though we’ll never admit it, every writer of colour knows that they stand a higher chance of getting published if they write this kind of story. We just do.”

Marylin Monroe's real name was Norma Jeane and she looked like this. She is basically /lit/'s waifu. She was smart, so she knew how to manipulate men get on their goodside. She is the antithesis of a 3rd wave feminist.

Too far
Shes listening to music and reading. What a pleb

Not him and pillfags are the worst, but she is the antithesis of third wave feminism.
Not only was she not a post-structuralist, but one could make the argument that the structure which made her famous also killed her. Prior to that she existed and thrived in a society which viewed women as either virgin, matron, or whore, and she thrived as a whore until she dumped pills down her throat. Lets not be dishonest with ourselves for the sake of fringe identity politics.
>>8099656
Whore is a fairly strong word for Marylin, don't you think? Lets not project our modern degeneracy on the mostly wholesome society of America in the 50s.
>>8099693
No, for her times I would say whore was appropriate. She was a woman who existed within the traditional male sphere as an object of desire. She did not operate within the domestic sphere, this she was neither maiden, nor matron.
Thus, whore, in the same sort of role that Venetian courtesans would fulfill.
>>8099693
She was sexually active outside of marriage which makes her a filthy worthless roastwhore

>>8099844
What's your point? That's her personal life. Women are attracted to power and the rich establishment and always will be. The only point I tried to make was that Marylin by being sexually alluring to men is the antithesis of legbearded feminazis. Don't see how you can argue with that.
>>8099552
A tip of my hat to YOU, sir. We should catch up one of these days it shall be an idyll time; a gimlet in one hand and a fine work by Joyce or David Foster Wallace in the other.

I don't know what broken English speaking backwater hole of a country your foreign ass comes from but women are equal citizens in the West.

Norm Macdonald seems well-read. I want to have a drink with him.
Bowie.
And I heard that Kate Beckinsale was going for a PhD in English at Oxford, but she dropped it in order to pursue an acting career.
>>8099899
Its funny, I actually tried to defend Ellis a little bit when Norm went on this rant.
Pretty sure he destroyed me.
>>8099899
Came to say this. Pce ngaz
>>8099552
What if I showed your mum this post m8
She'd cut off your allowance
>>8099899
I don't quite get why Norm's SO buttmad about BEE, but some of that stuff is pretty funny.
>>8099933
And to contribute to the serious discussion at hand, how about Sasha Grey? She's read everything from Dostoevsky to Sartre.
obligatory
>>8099937
she also drinks cum for a living, wonder if she gleaned anything from the part of Notes where the protagonist destroys that hooker.
Probably not. She probably just repeats feminist/pseud buzzwords.
>>8099884
>non-anglophone countries are backwater with how women are treated there
>in the West women are equal citizens
>non-anglophones, look up to the West and treat women like we do, i.e. better!
stay dense and cucked my PC Orwellian white male englishman
definitely don't look up to continental Europe on how to build a community that actually treats every member equally
keep talking about "women's rights" and "black rights" instead, automatically forbidding the possibility that the human rights in fact should actually be equal for everyone and not arbitrarily assigned based on sex and race depending on the current political trends.

Oppenheimer. He made a list of his favorite books:
Shakespeare's "Hamlet"
Eliot's "Waste Land"
The Bhagavad-Gita
Baudlaire's "Les Fleurs du Mal"
Bhartrihari's "The Three Centuries (Satakatrayam)"
Dante's "The Divine Comedy"
Michael Faraday's "Notebooks"
Flaubert's "L'Education sentimentale"
Plato's "Theaetetus"
G. F. Bernhard Riemann's collected works

Frederic Moreau is possibly the most disgustingly sappy character ever written
