I'm in awe of even the logistics of acquiring such a large amount of books by your late 20's, and you said you only started collecting when you were 18?

The amount of money and time you must devote to expanding your library is emphatic, almost superfluous.

And you have time to read all of the books you put on your shelf? I personally don't rack books until I've read them.

I wouldn't like it.

No offense to all you /fit/izens, but we barely talk about literature as it is

Why is /lit/ so resistant to /pol/? Even /lgbt/ is more /pol/ aligned than /lit/. Maybe it's because /lit/ doesn't read. Or maybe /lit/ likes the intellectual commie Jew persona. Maybe it's because they think the world works like in their leftlib-leaning books.

It's like we're living in a dystrophic authoritarian nightmare world

But what about the fact that DFW will be resurrected in ~13 years on February 1st.

Can someone explain to me why /lit/ reveres this hack? I've read Infinite Jest, there's no discernible talent.

I'm about 200 pages in, and I like it a lot. Didn't have any preconceptions about it, apart from it being a giant meme.

Sure, there has been a counter-meme, condemning it. You have to remember that the single guiding ideology of 90% of /lit/s users is extreme contrarianism.

>It would just be constant DFW and Pynchon memes

Are you implying that a constant stream of DFW is a bad thing?
