/lit/ - Literature

Who are the best INsincere writers?

Any books that will cure me of 4chan induced irony intoxication? Also books that study the pervasiveness and ubiquity of irony and dishonesty in modern culture?

As a few big shot publishers are suing archive.org to take away the greatest library of both books and internet websites, what can a few anons on the greatest literature board any Qing dynasty-era Outer Mongolian astronomic observatory platform has ever seen, do about it?

I have yet to read Ulysses, but my impression is that it's probably a harder book to convince people to just pick up and read. TPK benefits from being a relatively reasonable length to focus on, and what seems like a lot of people online saying it's a perfectly fine place to start with DFW, while the general opinions I've seen with regards to Ulysses make it sound like one needs to read Dubliners and Portrait to understand what's going on. Plus, there seemed to be a lot of interest and discussion leading up to when I posted the first group read thread.
My /lit/ usage has been pretty sporadic over the years so I missed out, but it sounds like there was a Gravity's Rainbow group read that petered out pretty quickly, and I'm not sure if the Moby Dick group read that I saw going on at one point was successful or not.

I think getting this off the ground is as much about luck and timing as anything else.

And that's why I'm waiting to put anything together until I'm home from work. Phoneposting is an awful experience.

Is TikTok peak Post-Modernism? The lines of sincerity and irony are now so blurred, they've become one

>7/10- Enjoyed the world building and characters were ok, but the ending was cliffhanger bullshit.

You had better be a pleb who is only just starting to read books or I'm going to revoke your eyeballs

>What's more important pleasure or doing the right thing?

The fact that this is even a question fills me with sorrow.
