You are about to begin reading the /lit/ thread, ITT Metafictional Books. Relax. This is a thread for you to discuss your favourite books with metafiction in them, books that constantly remind you that you are reading a book, books where fictional characters are aware they are fictional characters. Well, what are you waiting for? You click the [Reply] link or, if you browse the catalog, you click the M.C. Escher drawing of the hands to open this thread. The first post reads '"fpbp". You scroll through the thread, hoping to see that someone has mentioned your favourite metafictional book, but you don't find it. Inwardly, you think no one on /lit/ reads. You reply to the original post, saying "so-and-so is my favourite metafictional work because this-and-that, as well as these-and-those." Someone replies to you with a single word: "cringe." This dissuades you from putting effort into your posts, so you begin shitposting.

Just finished reading Pale Fire. I don't get it. Was there a real King Charles or was that just some insane fantasy of Kinbote? But if it was a fantasy, why did Gradus try to assassinate him? Is Zembla real or not?

I have. I didn't think it had any merit besides the only good book to use the second person.
