Terrible choice, he was fucking hilarious. I'd go with Ayn Rand, to deprive a million libertarian spergs of their fap material.

Nietzsche. Yeah, that's right. Fuck your feelings.

I would pick, OP.

His articles bitching about something he never had to read are a true confirmation he shouldn't have been born.

Perhaps if he'd only read the book once, critics such as myself could find reason to appreciate his mongoloid mouth breathing crybaby antics, but OP has stupidly and wrecklessly decided to read something he didn't like twice.

He was probably motivated by some belief that there's a magical spot in a book, where if the reader reads correctly the author activates some kind of holy orgasm of brilliant writing upon a person, as if a magic spell has enraptured the reader, filling them with the most profound emotion of recognizing brilliance. Many amatuer readers believe this myth.

The Wealth of Nations is the most retarded thing i ever read.
