Alright I've been here a few weeks and I'm thoroughly enjoying my time.

I love how picky some of you are. It's hilarious.

So I'd like you guys to rip apart my book shelves and tell me what's not up to /lit standards and should be burned. Also how did I do without your infinite wisdom.

Any suggestions based on the books I have would be sweet. You guys have opened my eyes to lots of books so far.

just read whatever you want nigga

the only book I have a real issue with is the hubbard one - because hubbard is a cunt who can't write.
>>
>>7730781
throws up
>>
Just to list some of the authors that have seen amounts of praise on here...

PKD
Calvino
Dostoevsky
Melville
Joyce (duh)
Celine
Vonnegut
Greene
Clarke
Kafka
McCarthy
Banville
Asimov
Tolkien
Orwell
Gibson
Simmons (sort of?)
Herbert
Ishiguro
DFW

Don't throw away your GF's stuff though. Dat's mean.
And ignore the bulk of this board. You're allowed to keep things that you like. Just because Robert Jordan and Crichton and GRRM are absolutely pleb-tier shite doesn't mean you can't keep them if you enjoy them; have sentimental attachment; whatever.

Get all that vidya and comic nonsense off your shelf though.
