>Thinking about picking a female author to look woke.

hilarious. little do you know these bitches literally love guenon

>>18034328
this, or maybe Kant
she'll think you're SOOOO sophisticated, it worked for me anon, I got a gf by dropping philosophy knowledge ahahahaha

>>18034338

Big facts. You could also shill some Jung since it's a mix between psychology and taro cards type esoteric symbolism. That's a mean combo very few young women can resist.

>>18034275
Just be yourself bro. Pick something you want to read with her, she'll like your genuine enthusiasm for it more than faked enthusiasm for some woke shit.

>Thinking about picking a female author to look woke
Don't do this anon. Unless it's a book which you are sincerely interested in, she will be able to tell what you're doing, and will think less of you for it.
She will be more impressed if you pick a book by a male which you think she would enjoy, showing her that you are familiar with her interests is the ticket.
That said, what are her interests so we can better come up with a recommendation?

I got my last gf by rereading Hitchhikers Guide with her.

Assuming this is just a way of asking for female author recs without /lit/ calling you a fag, I really like Annie Dillard's nature writing. Manages to capture the beauty of the world around us in new/interesting ways while not shying away from the bloody side of things.

>>18034275
Lives of Girls and Women is unironically a great short story collection/cycle.

Why do girls love reading books together so much? It's way easier and practical to do it alone and maybe talk about it later.

>Annie Dillard
Unceasingly based, anon. She's a name which doesn't get mentioned very often here.

just in case you're reading this OP, I did not in fact get a gf from trying to seem intelligent. She made several weird comments about how much smarter I was than her, seemingly embarrassed by that, and then ended up being turned off anyway.

Just be normal, BEE yourself, that will actually get some results unlike 19 year-old me

>>18034275
stop being an effeminate faggot, anon.

God, fucking retards. Give him an actually book name instead for saying "girls are not worth it" Fuck off faggots. This board!

>>18035560
no. simps get the rope

Anything camus would probably work

>>18035560

Proust -- Swann's Way. It's worth reading, it's effeminate but allegedly intellectual--assuming long drawn out descriptions of foliage and fabrics are either of those things--, and he's a faggot (for your woke quotient). Plus, it's good filter for you. If she won't read it or doesn't like it you can detach and put her on rotation.

>>18035600
Are you on the spectrum? Of any kind?

>>18034275
Tom Wolfe

>>18035560
I told him to pick a book HE likes. I don't know what books he likes, and if he doesn't know that himself he shouldn't try to impress girls with books.

On the topic of female authors, is Jane Austen actually good? You can keep it real with me bros, we're anonymous. I can't imagine her being any good but then again I was surprised I actually liked Wuthering Heights which was way better than her sister's shitty boring gay Jane Eyre

>>18035941
Austen is great, second only to George Eliot as far as 19th century female authors go in my opinion

>>18034275
Do NOT pick a female author, unless like another anon sys it's a book you're genuinely interested in, or if the subject matter of the book is somewhat masculine or at least asexual to balance out the womaness. You could also pick a book by a male that's on the feminine side of things, to have some balance and not look like a blatantly groveling faggot

>>18035950
I do want to read Middlemarch by George Eliot. I'll probably read an Austen book wayyyy down the line after I read tons of other shit I want to

>>18035969
Middlemarch is a fantastic book, get on it soon anon

>>18034275
Imagine spending this amount of time thinking about a women

>>18034275
What you could do is read The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. The thing is that they will either love you and want to instantly suck your dick or want to cut it.

>>18034275
Imagine reading to impress a hole.

>>18034275
Just say joan didion. Shes my favorite female author.

Bring condoms.
Have an alibi.
Ask for consent and film her.
Check for herpes sores.
Use condoms.
Get receipt from cab driver (for subpoena).
Go to vd clinic and get tested.

Choice of book unimportant.

This anon fucks.

>>18035941
Every woman I have talked to about Austen loves it. They love the way the different characters interact and all have a favourite dude they would bang.

>>18035969
Start with the Mill on the Floss.

A shakespeare play would be fun i think. Also more conducive to interactive discussion

>>18034275
Bro, don't be like me and recommend her to read ISAIF. That shit turned bad on me when she started asking me why uncle Ted was so hateful toward leftists, and when I explained to her what he meant, she called me a trump voter and got kind of mad.

>>18034968

Also, don't pick a book to make yourself look overly intellectual because you will come off as a pseud. Be fucking normal and pick a normal book for an adult like ready player one or the martian.
