>he dies
>zero threads on /lit/
further proof /lit/ is a bunch of pseuds who don't read.

>reading plays
>>8133959
I make it a moral principle not to read writers who attended Oxbridge or an Ivy
>>8134017
ah. got rejected by all the ivies, eh? must feel bad to be a brainlet.
>>8133959
Did he ever write anything good after the 70's
So if I don't read Peter Schaffer's plays then I'm a pseud who doesn't read? This smells like projection

reminder that the redditor mods gave terry pratchett a sticky and Gunter Grass and Gabo Marquez got jack shit
I don't associate with nonentities. Do you cry over every despawned object?

>implying its the man and not the work we care about
>>8134979
Same for Gore Vidal, Jose Saramago, Umberto Eco, etc, basically any decent author you can think of that died in the past six years. But the mods are faggot nerds with shit taste so they gave even non-mainstream sci-fi author Iain Banks a sticky for his death
>>8135013
This desperately needs to be filtered. Maybe to something like "I agree wholeheartedly with what you said."
>>8134979
They gave Pratchett a sticky? /lit/ talks about Pratchet as much as r/books talks about McElroy. I would have liked a sticky for James Salter but I know nobody here ever talks about him. I could have made a thread I guess but I only found out about his death several months later.
>90 years old
>keel over at the gym and die pretty much immediately
That's how I want to go.
>>8135144
Like hundreds of people from other boards who never post here came just to post about his death. The sticky was enormous https://warosu.org/lit/thread/S6257826

best writer of sex scenes

God... just imagine the sheer number of faggots from other boards who'll flood this shithole when Stephen King dies.
>>8133959
Literally who.
