How wrong is it that I can't think of a single book I'd list as my favorite? I guess I'll go with The Peloponnesian War, Crime and Punishment, and A History of Ethics by MacIntyre.
I can certainly tell you that the worst book I ever fucking read in my life was The Name of the Wind. And this is coming from a person that's gone through a lot of bad fantasy. Smut on literotica and hentai-foundry is better than that stinking pile of shit. And I read that over six years ago. Palpatine was right: hate really is stronger than love.

No, that's wrong. You're retarded.
Fellow ME here, although I'm 2 years in and will be changing my major to math education next semester.
Favorite books:
The Iliad
The Symposium
Watership Down
I run a supplemental instruction session for my university for $9/hour
That's super accurate actually. I made my gf stop talking to her friend cuz he told people how I lived. Unforgivable. Only because people are such judgmental cunts tho. The insanity of apes laughing at each other over circumstance, sentient atoms endlessly sorting, better worse, bottom top and on and on and on. But I'm the biggest joke of all, that sentient ape aware of the absurdity, and somehow doubling down on inequality insecurity. What a punchline.
Just out of curiosity, how exactly did you arrive at your perception, what was it about the combination of books and dog walker that made my emotional-mental state so obvious to you? Is it because someone who at least has pretentious to intelligence and a shit job must be insecure? Humor me.
Nicer than Nice. Brought tears to my eyes.

just getting into literature. i'm having a lot of fun so far. y'all are cool. currently reading inferno--much more bizarre and morbid than i expected for the time. the history behind the text is super neat too. the guy who wrote the Penguin Edition introduction really helped me contextualize the material, which i typically neglect. i just like the story. the "impact" doesn't usually garner my attention but Dante's significance in lit was pretty fun to read about.
can anyone recc essential /depressive/ lit? not something too modern pls. or long.
Just bought tender is the night off eBay, looking forward to it...how was it? I'm currently in the middle of his short stories, f Scott's great. Did you read the crack up? Poor guy was tortured inside.
