>dumbed-down versions of classic stories and ideas because they're easier to read
None of those are even hard to read besides maybe Neet because it requires prerequisite knowledge. Ive literally read the other ones, me. If people actually cracked open the Iliad the would realize within one page how readable it is. Nothing to be intimated by. The reason they buy the shitty books is because they are stupid cattle who are extremely easily affected by marketing. They are all just listening to the audiobooks anyways. They just want a long podcast about le philosphy without actually reading and thinking and paying attention, trying to learn.

I need to become uglier. Houellbecqesque. My pores are too small, my collagen is too elastic. I need to Bukowskify. My body is strong, healthy, and beautiful. It doesn't reflect my soul.

Wanting to not be born and wanting to die are different things, brainlet.

Already read "The Invention of Morel", and Macedonio is hard to get in English.
Delany is boring.
Inb4:
"The Cosmicomics" of Italo Calvino.
Shikasta by Doris Lessing.
Houellebecq's "The Possibility of an Island"

Ahem

>Life is like a faggot wasting away at the end from complications due to the AIDS virus. I never understood what the point of being a faggot was anyway, not in the face of a small, wet pussy. Who could resist a small, wet pussy? Not me, Pierre de Pierreville, but I was not anybody. I was certainly not a faggot. I love wet little pussies. Baudelaire once wrote that France is like a faggot. I think Baudelaire is a faggot actually. In short, my life is nothing. I need to fuck and smoke a cigarette, and, when the time has come, die.

Why do people post threads and then abandon them after people put effort into the replies?

Fuck you.

Reminder that in the 80s you could buy fake books to show off in your shelf. Excellent leather and paper with just empty pages. Whenever I see a bookshelf like the one posted by OP I think of those books and the sad people who bought them. A chaotic looking bookshelf it the mark of the patrician.

I've never read less than ten books at the same time, eight of which I will drop. Been doing this for 30 years. You're on a good path, OP. Don't listen to the normies.

"I realized straightaway that the première A would be the worst; there were three boys and about thirty girls. Thirty sixteen-year-old girls-blondes, brunettes, redheads, white girls, Arabs, Asians ... every one of them lovely and every one of them desirable. And they weren't virgins, either-you could tell. They slept around, swapped boyfriends—enjoying their youth to the full.

I used to walk past the condom machine every day and they weren't the slightest bit embarrassed to use it right in front of me.

"The problems started when I decided I might have a chance. A lot of their parents were probably divorced, so I was convinced I could find one who was looking for a father figure. It could work —I was sure of it. But I'd have to be a big, broad-shouldered father figure, so I grew a beard and joined a gym. The beard was a qualified success -it grew in thinly, which made me look like a dirty old man, a little like Salman Rushdie but the gym was a great idea. Within a couple of months I had well-defined pecs and deltolds. The problem- and it was a new one for me-was my dick. It probably sounds strange now, but in the seventies nobody really cared how big their dick was. When I was a teenager I had every conceivable hang-up about my body except that. I don't know who started it—queers, probably, though you find it a lot in American detective novels, but there's no mention of it in Sartre."

/fit/ is filled to the brim with unironic faggots. Almost every time I visit that board there’s a sissyboy-body or a gay thread up. I’d ask them.

Personally, I think it stems from feelings of inadequacy compared to the traditional role of masculinity and the inordinate amount pressure on men today which causes them to turn to becoming a sissyboy. As for the non-sissys I think it comes from a slow spread of the hatred of women throughout the mind, which is especially common on 4chan: a gathering place for people who are full of resentment. I have other notions which involve pornography and the likes, but that’s pretty much my psychoanalytic theory.
