12 Rules for Washing Your Boyfriend's Penis

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

YA shit
Sometimes I try to make her read entry level stuff like Calvino or Borges, but she always go back to the YA.

Hi, I went to Middlebury with a major in English. I tried to make her read Nabokov but she just didn't get it. Lolita's my favorite novel. I wonder why that would be?

I like her. Very dirty girl, but loyal and moral. Got lucky finding this one.

>Borges
>Calvino
>Entry level
I can see why she keeps going back. Start a little easier maybe. Try typical entry level stuff like Catcher in the Rye or One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest for more modern stuff. If her YA interests are more romance based, you can’t go wrong with Austen or the Brontës. If you’re insistent on exposing her to pomo, try stuff like Slaughterhouse-Five. Don’t rush it.

Raymond Isiv: Cooking for the genetically enhanced

I don’t know what she currently reads but she HAS read Plato’s Republic and doesn’t like Ayn Rand.

>>12468862
In other words, consult the entry meme chart

>>12468839
She's a keeper

>>12468743
fuck you

>>12468743
Lolita

i want to die

German poetry, 17th century french moralists

she doesn't read any books she's not ugly

>>12468743
Lotta Dickens and Milton. She really liked American Psycho, but I think Less than Zero is Ellis' better book. We're gonna read 2666 soon.

>>12468790
That's adorable though, anon. Don't force her to liking what she doesn't like; let her express her soul as is authentic for her. If she likes YA the best, that's adorable and you should love her all the same for it.

>>12468743
I asked her and she said my eyes are her favorite thing to read. :)

>>12468743
She doesn't

>love a pleb
I don't understand.

You tell me OP...

>>12470292

What the fuck are your thoughts like? There's nothing novel about 20+ year old women liking YA.

>She out-joices Joyce, and checkmates Chekov
I like Alice Munro as much as the next guy, but I'm starting to think the Boston Globe is run by a bunch of fuckin furries.

It's a marker of innocence, you plebs. I would personally find it so cute if my girlfriend read YA.

(I'm just jesting here, not genuinely insulting you by the way)

>>12470317
D-dad? You need to move on from Clive Cussler pops

>>12470399
Innocent girls are boring. You'll quickly find you have absolutely nothing in common with them.

>Innocent girls are boring

Not when you're ravaging them.

>>12468743
She's read nothing but Murakami for 6 months. She's based.

>>12468743
She only read the ancient Greeks and Romans

>>12468876
Grampy bone be saying to follow you.

>>12468743

>Reading past the Greeks

Dump her.

literature is a good class and I enjoy it. I just don't understand the retards in my class that think that the class is hard and that the work is hard.

>>12468743

she doesn't read. she just buys books, reads the first chapter, leaves it in the laundry bin (or wherever else),and then waits a few months to do it again and watch the movie instead.

>>12470661
I take it she's an active /lit/ user.

>get her Clockwork Orange for her birthday
>she reads it
>keeps bitching about how awful the character is

>>12468743
Nothing because she doesn't exist.

>>12468743
Honestly all I want is a hug, a hug that feels like something. Not those polite good-bye hugs, but a hug that makes me feel loved.

>>12468790
