>tfw you leave /lit/ for the first time in a while and are shocked when you remember how much of a pleb everyone is

Reading some Hermann Hesse actually, so get fucked.

I don't think you're at liberty to call anyone a plebe if your board's top 100 books consist mostly of high school required reading.
>27168096
Those books are required reading because they're amazing pieces of literature.
Heart of Darkness was a masterpiece.
>>27168038
I read harry potter recently, that's good enough, right?
Oh great.
Now this thread is going to be filled with people unironically arguing that all the books they like are objectively good and that everyone else in the thread is a pleb.
If anyone who isn't planning on doing that is going to post in the thread I recommend that you use sage.
>>27168038
You mean books.
>tfw you read books and find knowledge and ideas you already possess
People who read books are the real plebs for not even having the inner wisdom of the authors themselves.
>>27168096
theyre required reading for a reason
but op still a fuck
>>27168113
I'm not gonna deny they're good books, but if literally every recommendation is a requirement in fucking high school, it shows that none of you have ever branched out from that and merely assert your alleged 'superiority' for actually reading shit you were supposed to in school
/lit/ is a shitty board anyway, it's the literary equivalent of /mu/
not the guy you were responding to btw

PiZz of meat
>tfw used to read a lot now all I do is jerk off and play wow all day
help me laddies
>>27168656
i only count 16 required reading out of 100
>tfw Infinite Jest is genuinely one of your favorite books but /lit/ would make fun of you for it if I posted there
>tfw Don Gately is your favorite character from a book ever
>tfw you may very well cry while ironing fake licenses someday
>tfw Infinite Jest will always just be considered a meme book despite being genuinely poignant, entertaining, inventive and heartbreaking
These are BAD feels, get the fuck back to /lit/ man, there's a reason I'm afraid to tread there.
>tfw struggling to comprehend philosophy
i am going to kill myself because i spent an hour reading the introduction to being and nothingness and im still fucking lost
>>27168685
depends on the school you went to imho tbqh famalam
there are some on there that I had to read, and some other ones chosen by our english teacher
all of them are basic-bitch tier /lit/, though. Especially Don Quixote, which is #8
>>27168625
That's because you probably only read fiction you massive faggot.
>>27168038
>read hours every day
>spend decades learning philosophy and fine literature
>Become so intelligent you figure out the meaning of life
>there is no meaning, nothing matters and you just read over the notes of thousands of dead people to form a conclusion you could have logically made in 20 minutes if you just thought
