>board is full of """"""literature"""" admirers constantly talk about stuff my 15 year old brother reads
you guys fawn over dostoevsky, gogol, kafka, nietzsche and these are all my little brothers favorites, and hes literally 15.
why should i take this board seriously
>inb4 ironic responses haha funny man
How does a fifteen year old reading something diminish its value?
You're right, OP.
They're all impostors.
Only I have good taste.
wow how does it feel to have a patrician little genius brother meanwhile you're trying to talk shit on a Korean basket-weaving website
>genius
>2.5 gpa
>skips half of school
>wont talk to anyone
>no friends
hes autistic for sure. that boy aint right
Sounds like a genius to me.
See:
>inb4 ironic responses
you still are ignoring the fact this board literally fawns over high school books
That's literally the genius checklist
Introduce him to Veeky Forums, ruin his life in the best of ways
why dont you recommend some books faggot
>le misunderstood genius
fuck off tumblr, ill focus on making him get better grades and friends, yeah.
the authors you listed are critically acclaimed in all literary circles. Being enjoyed by a high schooler doesn't diminish their merit, it just makes the kid more impressive. How bout being supportive of your brother instead of trying to start discussions about authors you obviously don't know anything about
literally no one but the very intelligent & the turbo-posers read those books in highschool. maybe your bro is just a smart guy with good taste
Nabokov thought dosto was a fag, and I'm inclined to agree with him. He's the Russian Hemmmmmmmingway, t b h.
what do you read then m8?
>hurr shakespeare is shit because it's taught in high schools
dosto was more of a philosopher than a novelist
nabby hated philosophy in literature
>Dostoyevsky is the Russian Hemmingway
wow tell me all about Earny's insightful psychological and religious themes
>proving him right
maybe he means in terms of accessibility
>trying THIS hard
my wife is 16 and reads better stuff than that.
Why is this relevant.
Nabokov was a jealous fink who wished he had remarkable insight into the psychology of man. Instead, he fawned over little girls.
>implying that accessibility devalues a book
A wise man could articulate an idea in 1000 words, but a genius could do it in 10.
Bravo you brilliant man. 10/10
>implying that was implied
>implying i was apologising for his severe plebdom
>le go with khristos, braatalnik man
>not pleb
Because a sizeable minority of posters on this board are also literally 15
That doesn't mean we have poor taste. It means you have a precocious brother. I urge you to learn from him.
I read Don Quixote when I was 12. Guess it has no literary value. Thanks for the lesson OP.
>27 / 5 / 15 / 2
Every time.
>implying implied statement has been invalidated due to your post
Ciao pleb
>mfw Nabokov is alive and well and in this thread
