/lit/ - Literature and Writing

I'm over halfway through the Shards by the queer who wrote American Psycho. The author reads the book himself, which only adds to the awkwardness inherent in the personal nature of autofiction. If you're the type to admire exquisite attention to detail in gay sex scenes, it's not bad, but nothing groundbreaking.

The irony is not lost on me. I just really enjoy this audiobook, it's like a comfort blanket, and I like to keep all the principles fresh in my mind when I am reading. So if I can't read, and if I'm not doing something degenerate or wasting my life, I tend to listen to this.

Of course none of it is necessary if you're reading shit-tier garbage like Shards by the queer who wrote American Psycho, but if you're reading things to challenge yourself, it's very useful.

Fair enough, I've never read it. It sounds horrible, but I guess you're used to it. I don't read a lot of recently written books, so when I hear about things like metafiction and autofiction I make a face like I've just shit my pants and mutter something elitist. When I say "shit-tier garbage," I mean compared to the Divine Comedy. All I do is read Classics, and when I feel nostalgic I read pop fiction books I enjoyed as a kid, like Crichton. But that's about all I have any desire to read. I hate everyone living.

Recently written books are just future old classics.
