>It now lately sometimes seemed like a kind of black miracle to me that people could actually care deeply about a subject or pursuit, and could go on caring this way for years on end. Could dedicate their entire lives to it. It seemed admirable and at the same time pathetic. We are all dying to give our lives away to something, maybe. God or Satan, politics or grammar, topology or philately—the subject seemed incidental to this will to give oneself away, utterly.

>which was a great thing, except if you were a [insert minority]

>>6554528
I thought you'd killed yourself? how's it going dude?

>>6554535
great, unless you were tallis

Is John 'King Cuck' Green actually good at anything?

This is David Foster Wallace, isn't it?

>>6554613
HE SPOTTED THE JEST!!!

>>6554484
Yeah, the last time you tried this I thought, "that quote isn't too bad, did john green say that really?" And again this time, but I was nearly certain it was you.

Believe it or not, all you did was make me think john green was potentially not complete shit

And I know "le lol epik fucking meme", you actually want to "prove" /lit/ is ignorantly biased, but no, the content is the cause of the bias

Don't let that stop you from feeling you "proved" /lit/ is dumb though

>Yfw you find out DFW was actually John Greens biggest inspiration.

>>6554622
I'm not trying to prove anything, I'm just having a nice jest
you sure are mad

>>6554516
wow this fag discovered will to nothingness

>As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.

“I do things like get in a taxi and say, "The library, and step on it.”

>How odd I can have all this inside me and to you it’s just words.

>That's who Americans are.

Loud, obnoxious, judgmental, slave crazed, politically retarded, war waging, cunts.

You farmers are okay because most hold socialist views even though they are too retarded to understand.

Also, racist gaybashing immigrant fearing feminazi twats who always place Hollywood on a pedestal.

You're cities are shit. You roads are poor. Your food is tasteless. Your mentality is pathetic. Gun holding, Jesus crazed, pricks who believe they are entitled to everything because they can send poor, ignorant, murder trained troglodytes to shoot Middle Easterners.

You're fucking useless, and you think you're the king. You're a credit nation, the world owns you, and when they wake up...oh boy.

I always just ignored this guy until now. Is he basically new sincerity masquerading as young adult lit?

>>6554852
lol wut

DFW didn't write this, right? This is edgy and retarded as fuck.

>>6554852
I didn't know DFW had such strong opinions. He was definitely transcending the masses with his jugmental power. Only a genius could make such all englobing opinion on a great but sadly en déchéance nation like America.

>>6554484
But he's right. I don't go around thinking shit of everyone, even if they're like ugly or have a stupid green Mohawk or something.

>>6554852
Yeah this isn't fun anymore for you

>>6554853
Yes, he's surprisingly well-read for a YA author.
