He's saying nothing at all, he just wanted an excuse to list random items once a page.

Consumerism has taken over religion as the opium of the masses.

A reader manifesto is 16 years old and bullshit. Stop being a try hard

Gonna try to use this thread to ask how I'm supposed to enjoy Libra. It feels like genre fiction with all its spy shit. I thought it would be humorous like White Noise, but it's so different. The prose is pretty good, and the CIA and KGB using Oswald as a pawn is neat in a Pynchonian paranoia way, but I'm just not 100% feeling the novel. Kinda feel Bloom-sama rused me by including it in the Canon

What other books of delillos did bloom include in the canon?

Why are you following the opinion of a jew regarding white literature?

No he's not mate

I think he meant Delillo is Italian. And anyway I was following Bloom's opinion because the memes.

Underworld, Mao II, and one of the pre-WN novels, can't remember which

WN not on there?

jew isnt a race

What is it then?

Jews are most definitely a race, specifically a race of inbred swindling semitic gypsies from the Levant.

I think Running Dog is the other one is canonized. I love that book but my friend who likes DeLillo couldn't even get 100 pages into it and even DeLillo himself disliked it.

Because he's the best literature critic alive?
