I just want a girlfriend who reads.... Why is my life nothing but misery... :c

French shit like celine, camus and even houllebeq, feminist writers I don't remember, jane austen and anything in a similar boat, magical realism, fanfiction when she is feeling nostalgic, she also reads whatever i recommend her.

>>20658433

Mention them, please. I like feminist lit

>>20658099
Crime and Punishment, The Tale of Genji, Lord of the Flies, The Master and Margarita, Wuthering Heights, Clive Barker's stuff,also a lot of ghost and horror collections

My imaginary girlfriend reads Thomas Bernhard and Robert Walser in german.

>>20658099
Isabel Allende and other Spanish authors.

>>20658202
I'm talking about anonymous memes posted on the internet, even those who pretend to be "edgy" or shocking (like the OP) don't say nigger. It's a sacred cow, you can call for someone to be murdered but can't say nigger. I don't understand why, it's cause for anathema in american society.

Fucking kill yourself OP you piece of shit

My gf really likes reading about maths and physics with me she always looks so cute because she gets so focused and forgets about everything else for like half an hour.

My girlfriend has an English degree, so she doesn't read.
>Has a final paper on African American literature
>Help her pick out "Their Eyes Were Watching God"
>Tell her I'll read it too to help her with the paper
>Get really into the book, can't wait to talk about it with her
>Week left till paper is due, ask her when she wants to go over the book/paper
"Oh, I figured you'd just tell me what happened and then I sparknote the rest"

Damn bro how did you date every art hoe I've ever dated at the same time

Are all art hoes just temporary manifestations of the same art hoe universal?

>>20659057
They're all striving for the same aesthetic which encompasses many similar appearances and beliefs, but each latches onto only parts of the whole. The art hoe is something inherently unachievable by one human alone, but it manifests in many.

She's a keeper.

It's the same in Europe.

>>20658099
To my knowledge, the girl I like reads Slavic/German literature, Hindu/Buddhist texts, psychology (I guess mostly about sexual deviations and serial killers), probably some stuff about psychedelics

G*D, I love her so much

Even your imaginary girlfriend has entry-level taste like you

Become passers-by

>>20658110
Most of my fellow burgers worship niggers. Nigger music plays in public. Our politicians appeal to niggers. Our social policies are tailored to niggers. Even saying something like nigga will cause ten people to have a stroke and five spook niggers to jump you.

Why?

Meddling privileges revoked.

Why?

>>20658099
She reads whatever I tell her to. Not even joking.

Isn't that great?

>>20658110
if you're not a black American then you don't know how it feels to hear that word

it's just a word in the same sense that humans are just a lump of cells--but /lit/ards of all people should be able to see that things can have meaning beyond what they literally are

is it so hard to show decency enough to not say a word that upsets people, given that you don't know what it feels like to be those people and hear that word?

>>20658110
>>20658707
>>20658819
Because it is, rightfully, the worst word in the English language that carries connotations tantamount to atrocity. Of course, most people who use it are just being edgy, however in doing so they're normalizing the underscored sentiments that justified the rape of a continent, hundreds of years of cultural genocide and individual subjugation.

The contemporary current of villifying the use of it is a form of social technology oriented towards ensuring such mass cruelty is never replicated and is, in short order, made up for. The reason a black person can call you honkey is because that word does not carry the same implicit assumptions, nor the historical weight of the aforementioned destruction and exploitation.

It really isn't that complicated, it makes perfect sense, but im sure the autistic on this board are too entrenched in their dogmatic shock humor to ever consider it honestly.

We all have to make our sacrifices, I gladly freeze if that means innocent civilans can get bombed in the donbass, because the US insists on it.

Niggers really do not belong in the West, they are simian violent retards with the minds of bad children.

Technically only whites belong in the West, at least in the sense of being citizens.

Shut up dumb fucking nigger this is a white man's board GTFO retard

>>20662334
Or just maybe no one cares about "niggers" here. i know, hard to imagine not worshiping them.

>>20658176
medicine, asap

>>20662334
Shut the fuck up it's literally a word whose meaning used to just be "a black person".
Pic related is a film from 1974 which was written by a black man. Why the fuck would he choose a title like this if "nigger" is such a magic cursed spell of doom to blacks as you say? It was literally just a word like every other one before modern faggots suddenly decided to get all anal about it.

>>20662334
human nature will not be suppressed as much as a word cannot be, rape, conquest, freedom, decay and building are all inevitable.

>>20658099
She can't read yet

>>20662334
>Nigger is a magic word and by simply hearing a White Man utter it niggers get sent to the shadow realm to feel the entire pain of slavery (the WORST thing to happen to humanity) in a single microsecond, that pain and geotrauma automatically makes them chimp out in self defence as simply hearing it again would leave them mindbroken.

>>20658663
My imaginary gf can’t read. Should probably teach her.

She loves to articulate stuff using comparison, so maybe poetry would be her jam?

Bukowski and Palahniuk

>>20658099
I have no girlfriend but my ex likes Dostoievsy, Eco, Tolstoy, Cortazar, Borjes and a lot of XX century latino poetry, IE archaelogogy, feminism, Harry Potter, and a lot about nutritionism stuff.

You mean like when blacks say it to each other 6 million times per day?

>>20658099
My waifu reads Hyperion.

>>20668327
It's vastly different when they're buddy says "Sup, nigga?" and you say "FUCK you you fucking NIGGER."

>>20668453
> "FUCK you you fucking NIGGER."
Nice strawman. And what if a white person just says "sup nigga"?

>>20668453
If the word 'nigger' really triggered black people, then they wouldn't utter it in any way, "hard r" or not and trivialize it. The fact is, black people use the word nigger for power play. They like having that "nigger card privilege", and if some white man/woman says the word nigger, then they will use it as an excuse to attack them (physically or otherwise).

>>20665897
Nice """argument""", faggot.
Keep being permanently emotionally shaken because of a simple combination of letters you conditioned yourself to have a knee-jerk reaction to.

My imaginary gf only reads fairy tales, classic fantasy, and children's books. Also she doesn't know anything about our history, politics, etc (she has the frame of reference of a medieval peasant girl). Her favorite book is Gormenghast and her favorite poem is Silver by Walter de la Mare.

>>20668514
Context and inflection play a bigger part than just using the word itself. Ever had a conversation with a person?

>>20668542
>if some white man/woman says the word nigger, then they will use it as an excuse to attack them (physically or otherwise).

Ok, then the solution seems pretty simple. If you're white, don't say nigger.

>>20662316
shut up nigger

>>20668419
By Hölderlin, I hope.

>>20668602
Utterly based. Don’t tell her about how bad it gets.

the girl I'm seeing literally owns *one* fiction book and it's pic related. she doesn't own an eRader nor does she read on her phone or tablet

the rest are uni textbooks and various entries from oxford's 'Very Short Introductions' series

I don't have a girlfriend but I frequently daydream about having one and she'd have very childish interests including literature, so she'd read stuff like Madeline, Anne of Green Gables, Astrid Lindgren's work and Moomins

she'd also look like Audrey Hepburn and would be so weak and stupid she'd need my assistance for everything and couldn't live without me

>>20669187
That's marvelous. The first time I saw Audrey my heart melted and for the next several weeks she was constantly on my mind; I even found it hard to sleep and eat. I've never felt the same way about anyone since, not even close. So coincidentally my imaginary gf also looks like her. And she likes those books too.

>>20658099
She loves those fairy sex books. What are they called lemme go find em

>>20669373
Sarah J Maas. Pretty much everything by her. I think her fav is pic related but I'm not sure.

>>20662256
I don't. Don't get why, either. They're not very intelligent.

>>20658707
So what, nigger?

>>20662334
>carries connotations tantamount to atrocity
What a retarded take. As bad as United Statsian slavery was it pales in comparison to the practice at almost any other place or time on Earth. Contemporary Arab enslavement of Africans was far worse, as was African enslavement of Africans. Which, incidentally, was only stopped to an extent by the intervention of Europeans. As for the racist/segregationalist angle, again, while there was oppression and atrocities in the US, it is hilariously laughable in the face of the absolute horrors that have been perpetrated against basically everyone at one point or another. The only reason American slavery is considered so bad is that it happened in a developed country in a post-Enlightenment world, and they should have known better. And most people did. It's fucking ridiculous that apparently now the whole world is focused on American civil rights issues from the 19-fucking-60s.

My wife reads parenting books and occasionally Russian classics.

>>20668720
The solution is to openly carry the largest gun you can realistically use and say nigger whenever you will.

>>20658099

>sure i am down what are we reading!

>a few WEEKS pass, genuinely interested in discussing metamorphosis and have some great books to follow up with.
>spot girlfriend reading through the hunger games
>oh did you finish metamorphosis?
>sorry anon the book was too boring and didn't make any sense so i stopped reading it.
>babe, it's barely 80 pages tops.
>yeah but it sucks, YOU should read the hunger games though, now THATS a good book!

>>20661652
Consider yourself lucky. They're a literal handful to deal with

She doesn't, she's too busy trying to make money for nice things because she's a materialist (though she occasionally buys books The Daily Wire recommends).

>>20658099
Mostly reads police mystery novels. Sometimes she reads good literature, but probably an 80/20 split.
Many such cases.

I don't have one lol

Whatever I tell her to

>>20658099

She rereads Infinite Jest pretty regularly. A lot of Don Dellilo, I didn't see the appeal until she showed me one of his essay collections. A lot of the Russians, particularly Tsvetaeva. Lately she's been on this Kierkegaard kick that I've been too busy to keep up with. We're going to read The Brother's Karamozov together once the current sprint at work wraps up.

>>20671881
It really is universal huh

>>20671881
Tell her that the first HG book was alright, but the series goes downhill quick after the first games end, and that the double suicide ploy was a hackish copout because the author was too afraid to kill off a potential love interest.

She’s been reading this for a year or two now.

>>20669373
My gf likes a very similar series of fairy sex books, perhaps show them to your gf.

>>20673295
It's taken more than a year for your girlfriend to finish a book?

>>20673308
Well I doubt she’ll ever finish it. Her reading process goes:
>open book
>look at a few pages
>remember she hates reading
>play on her phone

the book thief. She says she can relate to the MC a lot; whatever that means. I haven't read it yet, I'm currently reading the eye of the world.

>>20658790
OVERTIMEE!!

>>20658099
She reads books about how to fuck dogs

>>20658099
livy, tacitus, caesar and that cauldellis biography of caesar. She's in her rome phase right now.

>>20658099
Whatever I read (she's my hand).

>>20668602
WHOLESOME

one would read psychology books on PTSD
one would read David Mitchell and Patrick White
one was practically illiterate
one would 'read' manga..

>>20668453

You say that, but there's essentially no nuance in the public eye when it comes to the word. If a whitey says it even in the most plainly joking and unserious manner, it's universally condemned by the speech police. They could even be saying it to themselves, or to another person who isn't black. Doesn't matter, you get dogpiled, tarred, and feathered.

>>20658099
My wife's favorite authors are Sandra Newman (okay), Lorrie Moore (pretty good actually), and Lydia Davis (utterly incomprehensible).

>>20658790
You enable her bullshittery. A reminder to all anons with a girl, they are shaped by what you expressly don't not-permit.

Never had one. How do I find a /lit/ gf? Kidnap one from the library?

Childrens books to my child.
She doesnt read because she is too busy being a good wife and mother. She does not have the pleasure of free time to read books like the harlots that post on goodreads and reddit.
