You laugh but six months ago I got a girlfriend because a girl worked at the library and every 4-7 days I would check out 1-3 new books. She said she started getting a crush when she realized I was reading the hundred year old collected volumes of Flaubert starting at volume one out of ten and every couple days I would check out the next volume. Started talking to her because of that.

Williams is one of my favourite writers, I don't understand how you could think Stoner is obscure though

No, twitter meme """philosophy""" is at fault. Every single thread about Nick Land, Chapo trap house, Peterson and all the other insufferable e-celebs there are consistently get 200 replies while threads that are actually about literature get 20 replies before they go under.

American idpol on both the left and the right along with twitter offering easily digestible philosophy memes are to blame. If philosophy got banned 90% of that shit would disappear. I fucking hate all of you.
