>reading or listening to what anyone who wears an "undershirt" (proper name: man bra) says
yikes, double yikes and triple yikes, with nothing on top, served cold.

I steal his meme format, and use it against him. All despite never reading a single book of his. Then, I show him the amount of times I've spammed the nab meme format, and he looks in horror. I pull out my phone and say, "This is your life now", as I scroll through my collection of nab meme format screenshots. He has a heart attack on the spot and dies.

Borges, Jorge Luis. A nonentity, means absolutely nothing to me.

Vladimir Nabokov, American novelist and literature professor who once had something like the following conversation with a student at Cornell University:

'Mr. Nabokov, I want to be a writer.'

Nabokov looks up from his reading he points to a tree outside his office window.

'What kind of tree is that?' he asks the student.

'What?'

'What is the name of that tree?' asks Nabokov. 'The one outside my window.'

'I don't know,'says the student.

'You'll never be a writer.' says Nabokov.

We make meme quotes from Nab.
We don't actually read his books.

Pseud books. Dislike them. Pretentious, formidably mediocre and boring. In the undergraduate English curriculum. Hard pass.

Well you have no anonymity on 4chan, and that’s the point, it goes to show that you seek attention, in the same breath it could be seen as rebel behaviour and confidence, but you’re vile, and the second one, Narcissism, no self esteem because there is no such thing as low self esteem, nonsense, addiction to instant gratification, there is never a waking moment when you’re never on here, what do you receive from it, an inner stroke? An inner Pucci stroke?, don’t you find human interaction valuable?, clearly not, Cleary not

>I have no ear for music, I deplore it bitterly. When I attend a concert—which happens about once in five years—I endeavor gamely to follow the sequence and relationship of sounds but cannot keep it up for more than a few minutes. Visual impressions, reflections of hands in lacquered wood, a diligent bald spot over a fiddle, take over, and soon I am bored beyond measure by the motions of the musicians

Trump, Donald. Have always been fond of him. Polite, diplomatic, amiable. Romantic in the large sense. Slightly bogus.
Art of the Deal. Wonderful. The description of the iridescent finesse and rhythmic negotiation is superb.

Your entire literary digest reads like an undergraduate curriculum; you're nothing more than a parrot regurgitating the opinions of his professors. These aren't the thoughts of aesthetic, taste and judgement; they are a worthless patchwork of falsified preferences drilled in by professors you just happened to develop affection toward like a child. Your post is without contest, the most pseudointellectual of any I've ever encountered on /lit/—you are the non-plus-ultra of pseuds.
