The man posted his favorite book cover. Black. With bits of gray peering through the darkness. The boy called his papa a fagit and questioned why the man never used commas.

I hate that book with a passion and I don't think I could ever get along with somebody who liked it because the purposely bad writing reminds me of the worst aspects of modern art. A man shits on a piece of paper and some smug assholes think there's something special about it because its subverting genre expectations or whatever. If your novel looks like it came from an 8 year olds hand it's garbage.

I agree with you in general about modern art but I gotta say, Cormac McCarthy is the real deal.

OK, admittedly, the script he wrote recently (The Counselor) is pretty bad. But still, he is 200 years old; it's acceptable that his best years are behind him.

No pic, but it is needless:
Master of Ballantrae, by Robert Louis Stevenson, but without the jacket.
The book is black with a Royal purple spine and the text in gold, looks very nice and simple.
Jacketless look so much better than their counterparts

I like it because it looks very ominous; compare it to the other covers for the book (especially ones from after the movie came out) and it looks immaculate

Reminder that the windmill is a pleb filter and anyone who mentions the windmill hasnt even completed the first part of the book, and has certainly not even begun to read the second part, and may even believe Don Quixote is a childrens' story
