mother of mary, people.

This is a thread for the most effay books. YA and genre shit need not apply

Yo homie, there's a forum here called Veeky Forums where this thread belongs.

Listen, effay is something that spans more than just this board. It stands for something more aural. It stands for contemporary culture, as well as its connections to the past, as a whole, and the act being in tune with the world around oneself. Thus, in an attempt to apply some sort of understanding to this "thing" which is too large for the human imagination alone, we created Veeky Forums and the forum system. Go explore. Don't limit yourself to Veeky Forums for discussion of books.

Lmao jk. I'm reading slaughterhouse five right now, it's p good.

Ovid's Metamorphoses and Sophocles's Theban Plays
On a lesser level Homer's Odyssey and Iliad
Classics is as effay as it gets tbqh

anyway reading is becoming outdated

Reading Camus, have just read Kant. Feelin ight.

Lesser level?!

The iliad is the foundation for all classical (and by extension western) literature and is probably the greatest you pleb

...

>reading just for the sake of bragging about it

This is what most bitches do these days. I see all of these girls read Hemingway, Camus, Murakami etc., but they have no real understanding of them. They just read it for the sake of having done it.

Pretentious cunts

>ya got me

yeah same with music. both are suffering in quality because people treat as an accessory too boost their social status

>my shit tastes and laughable tries to impose myself as a less of a shit human being are better than your shit tastes and same tries to make yourself feel better

I'm reading White Teeth by Zadie Smith

nope you just browsed Veeky Forums couple times.
oh well at least you didn't start using le spook meme

>tfw fashion is a spook
>tfw Veeky Forums is my main memein board

It doesn't matter what you read--you will get memed on anyways. How about Pynchon's Crying of Lot 49? That's pretty effay because it's kind of weird and yet simultaneously accessible, making sure that you won't be accused of being pretentious.

Waiting for these in the mail, R8 me

>La foresta in fiore - Yukio Mishima
>death in midsummer - Yukio Mishima
>Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess
>General Zapped An Angel - Howard Fast

>reading Pynchon
>not prententious
Clockwork Orange is YA, just watch the film

>memeshima
>shitty boring book
>never read it

I love the film, that's why I picked up the book

Should I have gone with Lolita instead? I am a Kubrick stan

I don't know how anyone would call the Crying of Lot 49 pretentious.

yes, Lolita is not a meme
desu it's not pretentious, but he is a meme

stfu w. this meme bullshit

forget all preconceived notions and give the book an honest read

a good book will change your life

why spoil that with internet bogus

its your world

>ulysses
shit i tried to read this book so often i remember exactly how it starts
never got past the first chapter though

Yes Joyce's earlier works

i read Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage and had to force myself to finish it. not sure if ill read anything from murakami again

earliest maybe, still pleb though.

none of the nuance or subversiveness of the greek

Any Veeky Forums book that is either inspirational, makes you a better person or greek mythology please, thank you.

still the foundation of western lit tho

iq84 is honestly his worst book

this is good taste

lolita is fantastic, so is pale fire

very effay

Bret Easton Ellis's books are pretty effay

>memein-iest meme book around, but dagnabbit if it ain't great

>lire de la grosse merde et aimer ça

suce ton père

Pic related is probably my favorite book of all time
it encapsulates all the wondrous joy, heartbreak, and melancholy of growing up.

In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust is another of my favorite works.
Book two, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower, is a particular favorite.

surrealism in general

red pilling is not Veeky Forums

Who /hispanotrash/?
