Only telling you because of trips but The Heart is a Lonely Hunter is a secret favourite of a lot of anons here, they're just too embarrassed to post because it was written by a woman.

No, I mean if you make it a point and ask if there are any objections you're inevitably going to get people coming out of the woodwork to criticize it. Trying to get a unanimous acceptance of something in a place like this would be really difficult, better to just take what you like and leave the rest.

Cioran and Pessoa will always be the most /lit/ writers to me even though the board has changed a lot from the time they were more popular. The meme trio are the meme trio but those 2 are just the whole ethos of /lit/ incarnate.

Everyone who read Dante in Italian agrees he's good.
Maybe not everyone agrees that he's great, but everyone will agree that he is, at least, good.
Among modern/contemporary writers... Yeats? Valery?

What an absolute shit book. I'm a native speaker and read it in Russian. Too long for literally no reason. Oh and how about we make everyone horny for each other? Love triangles. A few of them. It's a fucking soap in book form. Not worth reading for the pseud tier psychology or philosophy either. Just read the synopsis or maybe pick up an actual fucking book on psychology or philosophy.

That's the wrong lesson to take from this; many people with different beliefs come on here. The fact that they are bothering to roast people's books, shows that they are important and worthy of attention, and everybody knows it.
