Jordan "Psued" Peterson

Ready Player One

I refuse to read anything by James Patterson and I don't know why. Is he any good?

>David Wong
hate this guy

I watched the film adaptation of John Dies once, I assumed it was a butchered, abridged version of a better story, it had many of the same qualities as the film version of Doctor Moreau. So I picked up the book. Nope, that's just how David Wong writes.

Any hyped teen fiction bullshit. I don't give a fuck how many peanut brained dickheads tell me to read Hunger Games or Harry Potter.

This. Pretty much refusing to watch anything pandering to "geek" culture or that has a big, Hollywood movie adaptation trilogy. Since you know it's the most blandest shit imaginable.

Any author who takes the labor theory of value seriously and builds worldviees and theories of alienation on it.

Kek nope, he's the physical embodiment of the concept of "quantity over quality"

Any radical feminist book. Any book that is based on Jungian, Freudian or Lacanian blabbling. Any self help trash. Jordan B. Peterson and YA trash. Any book written by perennialists, traditionalists, mysticists, alchemists and occultists. Any flavor of the month nonfiction anglosphere book like enlightenment now, the righteous mind or thinking fast and slow. Any contemporary diversity quotas american fiction. Any immigrant narrative. Any american racial autism book like the bell curve or winlttwpar. Anything produced in angloamerican departments inspired by the continental tradition, especially if it took inspiration from postmodernism. Judith "sex isn't real" Butler. Outdated phrenology tier garbage like Lombroso. Any book written by marxist ""economists"". Any book written by contemporary fringe far right figures. Any book written by luddites, I've Ellul and it was garbage. Any book written by anprims. Any book written by ancaps. Toni "imma tell students to go shoot cops" Negri. Any book written by a scientism enthusiast. Everything that regards the so called "singularity". Anything written by an eliminative materialist. Any book on theology besides the summa theologiae. Any book written by someone who takes Spengler seriously. Anything written by or ghostwritten for Donald John Trump or Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton.

Infinite Jest, there's no way it's not a meme.

all this except the freud and theology bits. also what books have you read that take spengler seriously, asking for a friend

books with horrific design.
I physically cannot do it. I know, because I tried.

Anything by John Grisham should be avoided.

How can I be as smart as you? Please tell me

That's a shame. They're worth a read.

Imagine caring this much about your intellectual image which you only posture on an image board for the discussion of pretending to read erudite books.

why are you two so offended

Murakami.

I dont read books lol. Fucking waste of time

Anything contemporary identity politics. It's all brainlets arguing for victim status unaware of what that means for them and their children if they get it.

You seem in line with most of Veeky Forums except Ellul and occultists.
Still have to read Ellul but haven’t read much occultism so I haven’t dismissed it completely

Anything by the Greeks because it's all boring shit written by Captain Obvious passing off stoner logic as philosophy

Anything by that guy with the bandanna on his head

Anything by a black woman. Almost anything by a black man.

This, no idea why so many people think I'd like this stuff.

I understand why teens like it. But adults? What do they see in that shit?

Anything by Chuck Palahniuk. I tried reading a book lent to me by a friend who wasn't stupid, but that book was such inconsistent garbage that I couldn't even take it seriously, much less even attempt to finish it.

Harry Potter is actually enjoyable. Just because it's not literature doesn't mean it's garbage. I consider anyone too stuck up to read Harry Potter because it's 'popular' to be a pretentious douche.

Funnily enough I avoid all female writers *unless* they're black. I've been blown away by black lady writers 100% of the time (of course I don't bother with Oprah's Book Club-tier garbage)

this guy over here

Any book with deckle edges. I hate that shit.

Margaret Atwood

Good, it’s awful

Lit crit

Most of this.

And no more Dickens, Brontë, Austen, for being boring as fuck.

I am on the verge of giving up on all post modern late 20th century lolsorandumb books.

Anything that reminds me of New Yorker magazine

>Toni "imma tell students to go shoot cops" Negri
this unironically sounds pretty good desu

>Veeky Forums, what books do you absolutely refuse to read?
>Refusing to read a book
>Ever

Nigger I think that De Sade should've been strung up on a cross like those other degenerates but I'm just because his works are disgusting doesn't mean I'm going to refuse to read them.

I read it, it was not good. It is the most overrated, overhyped series ever. Nothing sets it apart from any other children's book series. I wouldn't say it is garbage.

Women post-19th century

This is now a pets thread. What pets do you guys have?
I have 2 preying mantises

There's some kind of spider that lives behind my fridge.

He is not. He's an ad man, franchises his name to other authors. That about sums up hid "talent".

If you ignore most of the contemporary vague interpretation of his deconstruction theory presented in "Of Grammatology" and disregard the social dynamic as seen in a political lens, then it gets quite enjoyable.

Rand I get, cus of the 1-dimentionalness.

All of these, and also anything by a New Atheist or a hard determinist

send pics! I love spiders

Regular fiction written by women as I find the themes they write about to be boring and uninteresting, and newer stuff as there is plenty of old stuff to read.

pretty much

anything by a non-white or ignoble woman

Anything by John Green.

Also, I know I'd probably get a kick out of how shitty it is, but anything by EL James.

Faulkner, Fitzgerald, all the popular female authors, black authors as a rule, books about the Jewish experience, unassimilated Jews, books about war that aren't spiritual or existential in nature, depression porn, absurdism, Infinite Jest or any DFW novel, YA fiction, any Sci-Fi that isn't basically written by psychotic people, right wing political polemics, I took Evola off my list as well as Yockey, Mein Kampf, Bookchin, Austrian Economics, Neo-Keynesian Economics, Marxist economics that isn't deconstructive, Derrida, Russell, Analytic fags that aren't named Wittgenstein, normalfag ww2 books, poetry published after 1960, the beats besides William "I am a pederast and murdered my wife" Burroughs, Adorno's works that are not Dialectic of Englightenment, Engels Essays, Locke, Aquinas and Augustine, the Stoics, most theological texts from any religion, the Nikayas (too long), books on cybernetics, autistic meme racialist tomes, Jordan Peterson, Eckart Tolle, the rest of Saint Elliot's manifesto (its too sad), Anna Karenina (its all of your faults for this), Crime and Punishment, Lolita (again Veeky Forums's fault), Hemmingway, Chomsky (I already know everything that he said and what I haven't heard I've intuited), Ayn Rand, Gulag Archipelago, Holocaust books (I have the Nuremberg Redbook so I have all the evidence I'll ever need and there's no sense in reliving what happened), self-help novels, biographies of people who haven't conquered countries, academic works on the Occult, most anth and sociology books, Lacan, Zizek, Bordiga, Cicero

I read the first Hunger Games when I was in high school, it was terrible. It was not long after I read 1984, so I was just cringing about the half-assed attempt at building a dystopian world

same

Books on critical theory. I had enough of it in grad school. I don't care. I'd rather read books on horticulture.

De Sade did nothing wrong, you exiled toad.

yeahh of course you'd never refuse to read de sade you filthy little deviant.. yeah yeah kill the author meanwhile fapfapfapfapfap... little cretin....

kys

Degenerates like you belong on a cross
