Hard mode: What's the most reddit book that's actually good?

>george rr martin trapped in a delorian by a giant nerd

Slaughterhouse-Five.

the catcher in the rye

asoif

Is it the same guy posting variations of the "my/your diary" meme everywhere? The replies featuring the mem appear frighteningly quickly.

They hate Catcher in the Rye over there

The idiot.

"'She Wears the Pants in our MMO Guild' A collection of progressive Bioware Fan Fiction and other 21st Century Tales of Male Humiliation" By John RR Coelho

Chapter 1: "Just Be Yourself!"

>anything pop-sci
>anything new-atheist
>anything by Zizek, Chomsky, Foucault, or other hacks they use to signal their supeweeor intellectual intelligence
>anything entry level like 1984, Catcher in the rye, to kill a mockingbird (note: these books MUST be read in the most simplistic way ever. So 1984 is not parallel to The Divine Comedy, it's just about muh gummerment)
>anything "left-libertarian"

their best books list will be: what they were taught in high school with a few trashy modern King, Martin, Rowling, etc thrown in.

Now, if you want the most Veeky Forums book ever...

>left-libertarian
this rofl

>left-libertarian
..? is this a thing now? more left economically or socially?

>more left economically or socially
Wtf are you talking about?
Left economically of course.
>left socially
lmao

Left libertarianism was the original libertarianism lmfao. Prior to the 1920's, libertarian capitalism was a completely unheard of ideology.

really? lol what do they say

Nope, it's just a good meme, almost as good as my diary, desu.

>Zizek, Chomsky, Foucault, or other hacks they use to signal their supeweeor intellectual intelligence
wut

That Holden is a whiny teenager who needs to be slapped and that they used to like it but now they're too mature.

Ender's Meme

loooooooooooooool

any kurt vonnegut

I'm generally against "muh reddit" because it only causes shitposting
but in this case it's actually true, Ready Player One is one of the few books that I would qualify as literally pleb reddit

>is this a thing now?
oh honey

American Psycho does it on purpose to show you how shallow and materialistic Bateman is. RPO is an unironic hyper-consumerist neckbeard nostalgia-fest. It could have been the greatest satire of the 21th century, the scary thing is that it's all totally in earnest.

Way to miss the point jackass

Wrote a paper about how this book attempts to remove artistic elements from literature in favor of concrete science and provable numerical values. My professor thought me calling it a "fictional textbook" was funny.

Most reddit book I've personally read was Snow Crash. Jesus Christ the fucking retarded pseudo edgy proto memefaggotry was just mind numbing.

how would you know HMMMM ??? You don't actually USE REDDIT DO YOU

What's wrong with those books? Don't just say they're "reddit", tell me specifically why they're bad.
Because those literally were going to be the next two books I was going to read. Ready Player One because a friend suggested it, and Snow Crash because I heard it was one of the inspirations for System Shock.

There is no subtlety in AP, we get it, just like you get it, and you are just a freshman in HS. Does not make it great.

Just read The Stranger for the first time, and understood Meursault to be a total sociopath. Clearly I missed something. Help?

Through most of part one, I was on board and saw Meursault as a pretty normal guy -- somewhat introverted, but pragmatic, honest, and forthright with his thoughts and feelings. I saw the way he dealt with his mother's death as not that unusual -- for a young man to be stoic and somewhat numb to it for a while didn't seem that odd.

The situation with the Arab made me feel like he was, at the very least, mentally unstable, and the way he behaved with regard to Marie I can only describe as somewhat sociopathic. He had seemingly no emotional attachment to her, she was almost exclusively a source of physical gratification, and his constant cold, scientific observation and analysis of her normal displays of human emotion made it seem as if such things were completely alien to him.

Here's the passage that really solidified the sociopathy for me (early in part two, talking to his lawyer):

I explained to him, however, that my nature was such that my physical needs often got in the way of my feelings. The day I buried Maman, I was very tired and sleepy, so much so that I wasn't really aware of what was going on. What I can say for certain is that I would rather Maman hadn't died.

So what am I missing? Is it that his emotional state is completely altered and made unstable because of his mother's death, and that's what causes the odd behavior, and causes the weirdness on the beach in the incident that leads to his arrest? Regardless, it's a quick read and I think I'll have a second go at it...

Tell me about 1984 and its parallels to Dante, I dare you.

Snow crash isn't bad. It's entertaining as fuck, though the ending felt rushed.

I read a couple pages of RPO, and it's just generic YA

HEY OH

Yeah, I've never heard anything like this before. I'm expecting absurd levels of pretension here.

Catcher in the Rye, Perks of Being a Wallflower, Game of Thrones and that John Green book

What is the most Veeky Forums book ever?

the books that people on Veeky Forums literally wrote

Your favorite book.

It was hot out and he was at the beach. He had a gun and there was an Arab. So he shot him, almost passively.
It was illogical and thats the point.

who is this blastocyst masochist

Imogen

Every blank pages book where 3 years old children doodle the fuck out with 5 colors at once in an insane incomprehensible manner.

name a few

But that's what people say here too

I read some excerpts from Reay Player One that someone posted on here once. One was some characters reciting a Monty Python sketch verbatim, and another was literally just a list of eighties videogames or some shit. It felt like the "such a nerd" version of one of those political speech parodies where a candidate just says "America" and everybody starts applauding. Basically this:

Ready Player One is great, if you're actually someone who enjoys 80's culture, video game culture, and near-future scenarios. Otherwise, it's a pain to sit through. I wouldn't say its a bad book, because it succeeds in its main purpose. Ernest Cline's other book, however, (Armada), is a neckbeard YA nerd-fest. Not worth the paper it's printed on.

How is it left wing? The chapters in 30s Berlin seem to make a point about Leni and the KPD which extends to the hippie counterculture in America. They surround themselves with tokens, sit on the floor high, drag their kids unwillingly into their squalor and Pynchon even calls them Judaized. The police just whoop their asses.

Not to say he's nice to capitalism but the only political ideology he seems to praise, reservedly, are the Argentinean anarchists. What they have in mind is a frontier state ala Martine Fierro which is nothing like the centralized gibsmedat state socialists and commies want.

Animal Farm

>So 1984 is not parallel to The Divine Comedy
It isn't tho, Orwell was a hack. Most overrated writer aside from Hemmingway.
ditto

Lolita, probably.
This guy has the right idea. I liked the Count of Monte Cristo though.

This place is basically reddit anyways.

Agreed. I have been reading this for like a year on my phone when I'm occasionally trapped on public transit because have a horridly Canadian about of data and I have absolutely no motivation to read it when I get home or anywhere else.
