This exit-level is about depression/suicide, not obscurity.

no one gets the joke. this list should get appropriated into the /r9k/ list -- everybody understands that one.

Is The Recognitions really that depressing? I just ordered that yesterday (so excited).

>> No.2809167

Sorry, but you don't exit literature.

>> No.2809178

Okay, so by "exit-level" it means literature that features depression and suicide.

I (and probably everyone else) thought, at first, that it meant the highest level possible of literature, to be read only when one is especially "advanced".

You may want to change the title into something more straightforward. Clarity over cleverness, in this case.

I'll just add both to the depressing literature table and put both charts in the additional images section, if that's cool.

Yes, please. Good stuff, OP.

I thought "exit-level" meant the point at which you transcend the masturbatory reading habits that constitute "lit" (aka "pleb") -core.

It is.
