It ain't easy to find a fellow lover of literature in the pretty hell hole that is our country.

Thank you for that story.

What a brilliant, fucked-up, good story.

I only talk to my dad, my previous Veeky Forums teachers, and this board when it comes to literature.

The books are cheap when you have the diligence to search for them, though, since no one else reads good books.

Good day!

The Great Wall of China by Kafka. Its probably the most comprehensive and metaphysical piece of short fiction

Well except maybe that one but I still think Great Wall just feels more massive in scale

What is the purpose of these topics? Zero discussion of literature ever takes place in them. At least Gassposters and Harrisposters prompt _some_ discussion of books, even if it's usually low quality.
