Quick game: Help an anon with quick literature tips. Anonymous 07/08/23(Sat)19:54:51 No.5102 [Reply]

Let's go, let's make this board more alive and helpful to anons. Depending in your reply I'll be buying some books from these authors.

Is William Faulkner really good or not? Should I buy his stuff? Does he deserve a Nobel?

Is Ivan Gontcharóv good?

Is Le Rouge et le Noir by Stendhal overrated?

Is 11/22/63 by Stephen King "good" by his standards? I need to be an americanmutt boomer to enjoy it?

Are Ken Follett and Robert Musil pretentious shit for midwits?

Is Mark Twain underrated?

Is Haruki Murakami really the best Japanese modern writer or just the one by beloved by westerns?

Is Ursula K. Le Guin actually a good writer or just praised for being a woman? People are always recommending her.

I'm reading Mistborn, is actually good for a modern fantasy.

If that is Brandon Sanderson Mistborn, it's actually very trad and whitepilled, left-wingers hate him for not being a subversive kike like most of modern fantasy authors.

He's just a meme and a faggot who's burning in hell. Haruki Murakami is a better writer.

He was featured in the book club, I think the first one of 4 in the Sea of Fertility quadrology. Runaway Horses felt very relatable when things feel hopeless and you can really see Mishima poured his soul into that one.
Sea of Fertility is about 2 buddies and a chick and 1 buddy dies but gets reincarnated each book while the other buddy gets older and lives his life.

Gutenberg lately turned to some odd direction: plain catalog disappeared, only search and bullshit "book shelves". Also, very insistent "popular" suggestions everywhere.

Of the really big ones, Archive: https://archive.org/details/texts
Of course, there's some kindle "library" nonsense, but on the upside they uploaded tons of books scanned by Gaggle, so you only need URL to read them without «hurr durr please enable all our spyware to confirm you are an actual sheep».

>On American Indians: "nothing but a poor filthy, naked scurvy vagabond, whom to exterminate were a charity to the Creator's worthier insects and reptiles which he oppresses."
>"He is little, and scrawny, and black, and dirty; and, judged by even the most charitable of our canons of human excellence, is thoroughly pitiful and contemptible. There is nothing in his eye or his nose that is attractive, and if there is anything in his hair that - however, that is a feature which will not bear too close examination . . . He wears no bracelets on his arms or ankles; his hunting suit is gallantly fringed, but not intentionally; when he does not wear his disgusting rabbit-skin robe, his hunting suit consists wholly of the half of a horse blanket brought over in the Pinta or the Mayflower, and frayed out and fringed by inveterate use. He is not rich enough to possess a belt; he never owned a moccasin or wore a shoe in his life; and truly he is nothing but a poor, filthy, naked scurvy vagabond, whom to exterminate were a charity to the Creator's worthier insects and reptiles which he oppresses. Still, when contact with the white man has given to the Noble Son of the Forest certain cloudy impressions of civilization, and aspirations after a nobler life, he presently appears in public with one boot on and one shoe - shirtless, and wearing ripped and patched and buttonless pants which he holds up with his left hand - his execrable rabbit-skin robe flowing from his shoulder - an old hoop-skirt on, outside of it - a necklace of battered sardine-boxes and oyster-cans reposing on his bare breast - a venerable flint-lock musket in his right hand - a weather-beaten stove-pipe hat on, canted "gallusly" to starboard, and the lid off and hanging by a thread or two; and when he thus appears, and waits patiently around a saloon till he gets a chance to strike a "swell" attitude before a looking-glass, he is a good, fair, desirable subject for extermination if ever there was one."

I'd say most would call him pretty based by all this alone.

This is what happens as boomer nostalgia gives way to millennial nostalgia. Y'all thought boomers with their dad rock and Archie Bunker cosplay sessions were bad? Millennials are here to show you just how worse it can get.

Because they are millennials of the "I hate reading because TEACHER BAD" variety. That's all it is. You nailed it with your post, and it's because deep down, they know they were dipshits back then. It's why they coined "adulting" and all their self-help books are shit like the subtle art of not giving a fuckity-fuck-fuck or whatever. It's not a race or gender thing. It's a generational thing. Millennials are literally a glorified speed bump culturally. You'll scarcely remember anything they've ever done, let alone written, by 2050. 2100? They'll be off with the Silents completely. Turns out boomers WERE right - millennials really did kill everything.

>most bookstores that aren't one of the big chains are ran by bored housewives who treat their store as a hobby for their circle of friends; if you're not part of this circle and go into one of these stores, they become suspicious and look at you like you shouldn't be there
>most community theaters are ran by bored housewives who only want to put on terrible plays their kids can star in
>most book clubs are 90% bored housewives who only want to read novels about other bored housewives
>most online book communities are made up of bored housewives who just parrot wikipedia articles since they don't actually read anything other than books about other bored housewives
>most literary journals, be they short story journals, poetry journals or anything else, are controlled by bored housewives who only publish rubbish about "personal feelings"
>most libraries are ran by bored housewives; being a librarian isn't even a paying job anymore since there are so many bored housewives willing to do it for free
>most novels, even YA novels, now are written by and for bored housewives
>the only genres that haven't been completely taken over by bored housewives are thrillers, fantasy and science fiction and the latter two come closer to being lost everyday
>most poetry these days is written by and for bored housewives, which is a big part of why so much poetry sucks nowadays
>epic poetry, once the most respected of all literary genres in the West, is completely dead because it's too inherently masculine

Something here is contradictory. Are you sure you did not misspell "post-marital spinster cat ladies"? These tend to have excess of free time.

Anon, just say it: they're millennials. When's the last time you saw a non-millennial housewife read the schlock they put out today? Also:
>the only genres that haven't been completely taken over by bored housewives are thrillers
Thrillers were LONG taken over. A buddy of mine works at a thrift store - they get 'em donated in box after box after box and they're ALL written by basic bitch white women with the most bored housewife pandering plots imaginable.
Picrel applies yet again.
