Is he the only patrician booktuber?

Kind of sad if he is.
>>7512338
Why? I think he's pretty good.
his sophomoric pauses make me gag
Are there any novels where the protagonist undergoes a development or discovery of his sexual thoughts or opinions? Not even concerning homosexuality or some weird fetishes, I'm thinking more of a young person who's biased and insecure about it coming to terms with it or having some kind of revelation.
I know that's oddly specific, I myself struggle with it and think that reading about it and getting into other people's minds will help.

Harry Potter
>>7519995
already read that
Lolita seems to be exactly what you are looking for.
Just saw this film. Does /lit/ approve of that guy, or is the film just sucking his teet cause he's dead?

I didn't think it made DFW look good at all. I thought the movie character came off as insecure, snarky, disingenuous and still nursing and ugly addiction to TV. I don't think any thinking adult could watch that and think "wow DFW was such a hero."
>>7518775
You should ask Bret Easton Ellis about it.
>>7518775
Great movie about writing and writers, sits next to Wonder Boys on my shelf.
What's /lit/'s problem with her?
/lit/ is sexist and contrarian. They hate her because she is female and because she is popular.
>>7518471
You may agree or disagree with her philosphical or political ideas but her prose is utter shit.I've only read Atlas shrugged though.

>What you are you currently reading?
Eyes of the Overworld by Vance
>>If you had to decide: Asimov, Clarke or Heinlein?
Asimov cuz I haven't read the other two.
>>Do you prefer outer space stuff or future Earth stories?
Space.
>>In what direction do you think Fantasy will move in the next decade? More GRRM? more muh politics on a grand scale? Back to Hack and slash and adventure?
A mix of GRRM clones and shitty Sanderson video-game fantasy.
>>Which book, if any, would you recommend to muh genre-fiction il/lit/erates?
The Dying Earth
So getting any sci-fi or fantasy for tomorrow? I'm getting The Foundation trilogy in that classy Everyman hardcover edition.
>>7500732
>tomorrow
my country celebrates on the 24th, in fact my parents just went home.
They only got me some clothes, which is fine, I told them years ago to stop buying me random books and they don't know how to order English books from amazon anyway.
I'm picking up more books in January myself I guess but not sure what I want yet.
It's this time again /lit!
Let's determine /lit's favorite book and it's correlation with /lit's favorite fetish. Rules are pretty simple, just give us one title and your fetish, later on we sum it up. We had fairly successful threads like this before as well as some on /mu and /tv. Let the search for patrician's fetishes and favorite books commence.
I'm going in first, feel free to join up, just keep it classy.

Towering Pines
Fibonacci's Diary
Flowerbed
Ramblings of a NEET
Greytone Roses
The Impeccably Curious Writings of the Esteemed Ms. Henderson and Her Dog.Just kidding, but it would probably be a best seller and then adapted into a Wes Anderson movie

Is there one single movie that is better than the book?
Fight Club
>>7513806
No Country for Old Men.
Fight Club is universally accepted as a better movie than book.
Cloud Atlas - the book was trying way too hard, I liked the movie better.
Roadside Picnic - Tarkovsky adapted a bad Sci-fi novel into Stalker
Shawshank Redemption and pretty much all Stephen King
2001: space confusion
How do you guys find the time to read so many books?
