/lit/ - Literature

How come people who posts these threads never have the balls to post their own GR account

>>16837553
they almost always do a couple posts down, /lit/ friend collection is an old and tried hobby. Its the only way to get good book recommendations from this shitty board.

>>16837548
There you go, I don't give a shit.

are you a fucking normie or what

>>16838155
what is normie about having a way of organizing your books? I personally read mostly ebooks and goodreads is the most practical way of having a list of books I want to read

>>16838254
I'd use it if I could hide all the brain-dead comments and ratings of lowiq people.

>>16838274
I agree, most of them are annoying but you don't have to look at them. I would also prefer to use another app or website for this but I haven't found any FOSS that would do what goodreads does

Here's mine

You already answered yourself.
Goodreads is also full of kiddie porn, a couple of weeks ago we had an anon that discovered this disgusting stuff.
If I want to discuss books I just post on /lit/, I don't need a faggy social media.
I keep notes about the book I read thought.

>>16837548
Okay goodreads is an absolute shithole. I just looked at a couple of controversial works and their reviews and this is a gem I stumbled across: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2110527976?book_show_action=true&from_review_page=1
He supposedly read ISAIF and claims to be a mathematicisn (probably has watched two numberphile videos) and did not at all understand what ted meant. He only focuses on the criticism of the modern left and doesn't realize that ted also criticized conservatives as well. Then he continues to call him anti-equality and homophobe which further proves that he didn't get anything at all.
I wanted to find out if he really is a mathematician and looked at his other reviews turns out he also rated a book called A Manual for Creating Atheists five stars A Manual for Creating Atheists . See, I don't have anything against leftists and would even call myself fairly tolerant towards redditors but this is just too much. He doesn't even allow comments unless you are a friend of his because he can't take criticism, that's why I have to post here instead of replying to his reviews directly.
Anyways, not going to create a goodreads account after seeing this

here are some reviews of the Bible

>>16838982
I doubt anyone of those ever read the Bible

here's one of the Qu'ran. Why are NPCs so disrespectful about religion?

>>16838717
>>16838884

>>16838717
>See, I don't have anything against leftists
Why the hell wouldn't you? These people are nasty.

>>16839030
sure there are some nasty leftists just like there are some nasty people in every political or social group. But that doesn't mean that I should hate them all

>>16839161
There's exceptions to anything but that doesn't call for disregarding rational discernment.

I posted mine in the last GR thread but I un-added all the people who friended me because it felt weird to have "friends" that I didn't know and would never speak to.

Is GR even accurate at recommending books? Or is it pretty awful like every other reading app.

>>16839406
I follow/friend literary people and find good books from looking at their lists.

>>16839431
I just follow paperbackdreams because she's cute and I like to laugh at the retarded garbage she reads.

>>16837553
it's poor form to answer your own OP in the OP. makes the thread about you rather than about the subject. it's better to then post it a few posts into the thread.

>>16838717
>someone stupid likes something so I can't like it
how does that work for you in real life?

>>16838884
Ugh. I was in a used book shop one day and I found an old issue of Savage Sword of Conan. Great magazine from the 70s and 80s, I told the guy working there "this is the good stuff." He responds with, "Isn't that stuff kind of problematic now?"

Are you fucking kidding me? Why? Because the cover is a muscular warrior? It's "toxic"? Gimme a fucking break you limp wristed frappe sipping wimp. Nevermind the fact that you work at a store and are trying to discourage me from buying something! Unbelievable.

>>16840258
What do you even mean?

hows that reading challenge coming along /lit/? Im considering reading a few 200 page books before the new year just to catch up.

>>16840662
12 books since August. Not bad but not exceptional either. What is your picture showing?

>>16837548

do you realise how much of a caricature you are?

>>16840717
Yeah, it's pretty impressive. I sent them a snarky comment about it through the feedback form because they don't have any public system for feedback (forum or anything). The star ratings are literally aligned closer to the book cover on the left than to the book they're supposed to stand below. Everything is white and empty. So fucking bizarre.

>>16841038
post yours instead of complaining

>>16841075
I'm not complaining, just pointing things out. You look like a total caricature, that is all.

>>16841087
Not me, I just don't like picking on teenagers who've barely grown their first beard for the books they read. Besides, I've seen far worse. And I didn't ask you to post yours so I could mock you in return, but to look at another potential source of recs.

I unironically applaud your humanity that finds a bit of compassion even for comically pseud 18yos from 4channel.
As for my profile, I have never posted it here because of the archive site, but I hope I'll compile a recommendation chart one day, so you'll have some recs from me that way.

Honestly, it's embarrassing. He needs more color, more funko pops and more pop sci. Shockingly low on female authors. Also;
>Being an unironic Christcuck in 2020
God is dead, science is real, transwomen are real women. Get over it.

He needs to try less hard to be some unique little baroque caricature and go with the flow. He would be a lot happier.

>>16841519
>you can either read /lit/ memes such as Taleb and Bicameral Mind, or be a søyboy
Alright, independent thinker, lel. Guess I'll go watch a Peterson lecture now to understand Christianity better.

>>16841519
>the total caricature chimes in to confirm everything that has been said

>>16841565
>False dichotomy
I only think it's ridiculous that you attribute insincerity to his character rather than recognizing him as a young man trying to find his true self in a world where your personality is prescribed. Battering the kid and playing at the exact insecurities he is likely trying to overcome is a great way to kick his can down the road of soiboyism or worse, ideologueism.
>>16841574
>I defended him so I must be him
4chan confirmed for low empathy, which is indicative of low IQ.

>>16841590
>you attribute insincerity
And when did I do that? That's the problem, he's as sincere as anyone else, but finds the most generic, mindless and insincere vehicles to express himself. "Abloo, I suffer just like muh jebus, let's go read an internet-approved meme book now."
> a world where your personality is prescribed.
Fuck, you're legit delusional.
>Battering the kid and playing at the exact insecurities he is likely trying to overcome is a great way to kick his can down the road of soiboyism or worse, ideologueism
I don't remember when I was assigned the job of giving a shit about anonymous kids and how their lives will turn out.

>>16841787
I didn't say you have to care, I'm simply shitting on you for not caring. You're a faggot and your aloofness isn't seen as cool by anybody.
You brought your cancerous irony and cringe insincere negativity. I countered it. It doesn't go any deeper than that. You can go back to sucking cocks now.

>>16841519
>funko pops
>pop sci
>god is dead

>transwomen are real women
this has to be bait but either way I want to stove your cranium in with a brick and fuck the oozing headwound while you spasm around on the ground like the insect you are

>>16840263
people who use the word 'problematic' in these contexts deserve to be summarily executed.
