>In The Western Canon (1994), Harold Bloom criticized Thus Spoke Zarathustra, calling the book "a gorgeous disaster" and "unreadable".

When did you guys realize that Bloom couldn't read for shit?

I don't pay attention to any literary critics.

don't even try kid
if Bloom says something about reading then he's right, maybe not about texts, but reading itself he knows more about than anyone else

What's his best work on reading?

I'd like to have magical aesthetic experiences when I read

Enlightened.

Unenlightened.

I've always and instinctively regarded 'critics' on the whole as little more than parasites.

illiterates are disgusting

Literary criticism is the opposite of literary.

Blessed are the creators, not the critics.

>this is what plebs actually believe

does it hurt you when you read literature you can't comprehend because of your stunted intelligence?
