Well you first, sugartits. Have any of your precious tumbrl-tier authors written anything with actually good prose? Or just amateurish comic strips and martyred slam poetry on youtube?

You literally can't tell me what to do this isn't Helen Zorkatis-Rosenfeld's gender studies seminar.

Can't wait for the movie. This book reminds me of Faulkner's work, but without Faulkner's outdated affectations.

Where the fuck did that come from? Did someone have a bad day?

>>8149105
I'm still waiting for you to stop shitposting, hun.

Anyway, I've got better things to do than argue with a /pol/ virgin.

>>8149045
>>8149099

I would totally outdate his gender roles with my toxic masulinity, if you know what I mean

>Anyway, I've got better things to do than argue with a /pol/ virgin.
>has better things to do
>is posting on 4chan

I don't post on /pol/ and I'm not a virgin, so stop using these hurtful, historically loaded terms to dehumanize me and invalidate my experience.
>>
>>8149045
I wonder if this is bait, or if it's that anon who's been posting like this recently.
>>
>>8149114
>>8149127
YEAH I'D FUCK HIM.
IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

>>8149113
you have a surprising number of tumblr gifs and canned responses with very nuanced prose. you're either a shit troll or an actual tumblrite.
>>
>>8149148
I've noticed too.
probably tumblr migrants expecting their feelings to be valued outside of their safe space.
>>
>>8149148

I think its my fault, I told him to embrace shitposting

he actually did it, the absolute madman

>>8149155

I would rape him too, if you know what I mean
>>
>>8149139
oh-h-h-ho yeah anon, I know what you mean. oh BABY.

And not one single book mentioned.


/lit/ you're amazing.

>>8149190

books are an invention of the white male

who stole it from ancient african civilizations

who stole it from trans people

we must take back books anon, by dismantling patriarcal ideas inherent to book discussions

War and Peace, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Hakkenden (unfortunately there's no translation), Book of the Long Sun and its sequel. Lots of epic poems too
>>
>>8148943
I've honestly yet to find one. I get it much more often with short stories, philosophical texts, and plays.

I guess plausibly the bible if it counts.
>>
East of Eden
Justine
Baudolino
VALIS

do you mean epic as an adjective for like astounding or do you actually mean an epic? A non epic I get goosebumps from is Old man and the Sea. It reminded me a lot of my grandfather.
>>
Ovid's Metamorhposes and George Eliot's Middlemarch are the two best books I've read.

What was the post that got deletd?

Moby-Dick

Yeah yeah I know, muh encyclopedic chapters, but the main plot is really powerful. As one good review I've read noted, it's like the tragic denouement of a story that is mostly unseen.
