ITT: we post good books and dupe the young naive plebs into thinking they were wrong for liking them, thus turning them into meme sleeper agents.

Well, it's obviously degenerate pseudo-literature wankery for manchildren, but it's not "one of the worst book ever written", at least there's something in it. Think about all of those cheap suburban novels that old women read on the beach.

Everything that even remotely reeks of corncobby chronicles has got to go.

Moby Dick

Half of it is just a Marine biology textbook.

Maybe not the worst, but the most dangerous. This book can kill a mind. Give Ayn Rand and Nietzsche to a teenager and you fill his brain with shit for all his life. Even 20 years after he will still be a retard. I'm not even critisizing Nietzsche here.

on the road was really comfy for me when i was very lonely and depressed and could live vicariously through jack's stupid running around. i do appreciate that he doesn't make an attempt to attach some moral or revelation to the story and i think descriptions of neal cassady's (whats the name in the book?) character can be pretty entertaining
way better than other comfycore like fear & loathing imo

Same reason here, anon. My friend got a barrage of hate for the book from me each day of class.

Amanda McKittrick Ros's Delina Delaney. It opens with this:
>Have you ever visited that portion of Erin's plot that offers its sympathetic soil for the minute survey and scrutinous examination of those in political power, whose decision has wisely been the means before now of converting the stern and prejudiced, and reaching the hand of slight aid to share its strength in augmenting its agricultural richness?

I like that book and I'll admit even though you're baiting this is basically true, however his prose and Ishmael's hilarious narration make these chapters actually enjoyable.
