Does she like the Pynchon meme?

Only one of those is worth reading anyway. The other two are jews.

>>11699731
Why would she have read Spinoza if literature is her subject? Do you expect her to have read Plato and Wittgenstein too?

>>11699761
Reading atleast som Plato is essential as they are great examples of ancient literarure.

>>11699731
Seriously though, who reads Proust besides French snobs?

>>11699731
well considering you:
>would consider reading Proust in translation as "reading" Proust
>would consider reading Goethe in translation as "reading" Goethe
>would consider reading Spinoza in translation as "reading" Spinoza
>probably can't articulate a single concept from any of those authors that you have "read"
I don't know why you decided to embarrass yourself by making this thread, OP.
Oh, and quit berating women who are interested in literature. You just come off as a whiny little incel.

>Hasn't read Plato

Stop embarrassing yourself, anon.

>Woman with professional credential isn't well read in her subject area
>That relates back to my sex life somehow


?????????????????????????????????????

Women can't think for themselves. They are hollow receptacles that are told how to Iive and what to do from cosmetic advertisements, life style blogs and soap operas. Male apes are more cognizant than the human female. Their sole purpose is to breed. Their biggest flaw is they don't self destruct upon giving birth. Their second biggest flaw is not having more orifices to stick erect cock into.

will i ever find love /lit?

>>11699761
This. Not having read Goethe and Proust is unforgivable, but Spinoza is unimportant unless you're a Theologian or a Deleuze scholar.

>>11699854
Stop being an elitist faggot.

>>11699843

>>11699854

>>11699862
Spinoza is of interest to anyone studying early modern philosophy. Not sure what the special connection between theology and Spinoza is

>>11699810

He paved the way for the proto-anti-Christian kikery his fellow jews picked up and ran with via universalist enlightenment ideology until they were able to implode the church they destroyed Rome with 2000 years ago through their control of pop culture in the 60s and install the updated, godless version they're using to destroy the west with now.

It was a Barnes and Nobles Cafe, not a Starbucks. They happen to serve Starbucks products but they are distinct entities.

>>11699910

It took many years of becoming smarter and more informed than you to be able to summarize in such an advanced fashion.

>>11700100
Vague, elitist, and thoroughly autistic. This deserves to be a /lit/ banner.

>>11699761
>Do you expect her to have read Plato and Wittgenstein too?
anyone in the humanities has to read these at some point, even if just in excerpts or second-hand

>>11699854
just lol at you buddy boyo

>>11699797
So you clearly have never been to college.

>>11699810
kek

It’s absurd to see what people think is constitutes being well read. You just choose particularly obscure or difficult works that you have read and set that as the standard. If your speciality isn’t German Romanticism then why would you need to read Goethe? You can understand the movement without reading him. Same goes for Proust. Being “well-read” is a meme. People don’t respect you bc you sperg out about some book you managed to read, they respect your salary, status and where you went to college. Sorry about the reality check.

>>11699761
Everyone at least reads excerpts of the Poetics and The Republic in undergrad humanities

I also read Wittgenstein, Lacan, and Heidegger in undergrad as an English major

That said most English majors don’t even do the assigned readings

Gothe is more known for his Sturm-und-Drang and Classicism works.
