>this is the current generation of readers

Literature is dead. In 20 years everything being published will be YA/ASOIAF rip-off's, and the classics of old will be universally banned for being "problematic" and "non-inclusive" mark my fucking words

How did you know about this video? Are you subbed?

>happy ukulele stock music
STOP
THIS
SHIT

Of course I'm subbed faggot, what, you think I get all my reading rec's from Veeky Forums? Please

Their shelves are always so pristine and well organized. It's like the books are as important as physical objects as they are reading material. The books always look brand new as well, they're never ratty used copies. It's a fucking shrine to conspicuous consumption.

Are you guys subbed to based bangady bangz yet?

The Classics you say?
youtube.com/watch?v=8mnPs7EGqas

There is literally nothing wrong with taking care of your books you fucking ape, you think I'm gonna turn a $25 book into a torn heap just to prove I read it to some imaginary beings?

Not after that video

10 seconds in you can already tell that this guy is as gay as the day is long.

Why even bother raging at this video? Aren't most gay dudes like this to begin with?

I'm just more pissed none of them are moving pass YA since it's absolute easy views to get if you do something like a well known, recently published YA novel.

nope the right is taking back the culture now

>spending $25 on a single book

You can get used copies of almost anything for a few dollars on the internet.

Right wingers attempting to talk about books are even more embarressing then these adult-children

>embarressing

A second-hand copie must have been new at some point of its existence.

Aren't you excited to live in an era you'll smuggle classics into literary poches of resistence, fight silently through secret networks in college and risk jail any time for corrupting the youth with literature? I'm fired up.

>embarressing

The best part of this is that user absolutely knows that you were genuinely rustled when you noticed this.

>having cp on your pc will be more acceptable than shakespeare

this satisfies my outcast fantasies

>Reading books published in 2016

Ah yes, who could resist Adam Lerner's recent opus: "I am Jewish and From New York Please Publish My Angsty Novel so I Can Afford Rent."

>not reading this gem release in 2016 by one of the best living authors

Yeah, I'm burning all my books now because of letter

Not much about this vid feels genuine. He seems like he's hamming it up, especially in the beginning. He's not a very good actor. And everything is cringey.

And aren't all of those YA? They look it judging by the size and covers.

>Aren't you excited to live in an era you'll smuggle classics into literary poches of resistence, fight silently through secret networks in college and risk jail any time for corrupting the youth with literature? I'm fired up.
Still waiting for this. Got all my classics ready.

Okay you got me there. Are you Hungarian? The only Hungarian book I've ever read was the Magician's Garden by Geza Csath.

I don't know if this guy has the gay lisp or the Down Syndrome's lisp.

>censoring shit

>Not much about this vid feels genuine

Gee you think? These booktubers literally just buy a bunch of books, never read them, then parrot the opinions of said books stated by other booktubers to fit into the community

It's literally all to gain some semblance of belonging

keep being smug while you can i will enjoy every second of reclaiming institutions from you

>fahrenheit 451 WILL become reality

You retard. Literature *is*dead but not because of people with pc sensibilities. It's because its like porn, there is enough porn. There is enough literature. What we are creating now is just new porn. But like porn, you can always create little new fresh ideas. A nuance on the world of porn that attracts customers. What we know as literature is a product of the Enlightenment, literature has basically covered everything, war, class, gender, race, etc. What we are waiting for now, is for new cultural groups to write their Nausea or Catcher in The Rye, as in the Korean Nausea, or the Afghan Tale of Two Cities. In America and England, we wait for new little slices of life from places like Chicago, West Virginia or LA. Give us something the media and movies aren’t giving us the audience demands. But the fundamental paradigm of literature has already been decided, until a new epoch of human enlightenment or dark ages arrives, the paradigm is set, we just have to fill in the little gaps. Cormac McCarthy with The Road and DFW with Infinite Jest escape this a little by creating an alternative reality where the same themes can take place, since they don’t have Murakami’s Japan to write about they create one. Dumbass bitch.

Well I haven't been much exposed to booktubers. They're often annoying and hard to watch. I guess what you're saing makes sense, but its still baffles me. Why? There are plenty of more accessible hobbies. And why only YA?

Yes I'm Hungarian. Haven't read that one yet but I'm always surprised anyway when people from other countries say they have read anything that's not Krasznahorkai. It's fine I guess considering how irrelevant our country is in everything, I love our complex and beautiful language but it's too isolated and I'm not sure how good it translates to English.

Friend there's only one institution you should think of going to

any Veeky Forums autist booktubers?

No because any self-respecting person who reads books doesn't need to self-validate by spewing his shit all over youtube

YA is biggest talked about book genre now a days.

It's not Indo-European, right? I've heard that it's very difficult for foreigners to learn.

Don't know why, it's literally just fantasy for kids

>oh, what's this book about? A princess with magical powers has to defeat an evil kingdom and falls in love with a roguish maverick
>oh, what about this book, what's it about? A princess with magical powers has to defeat an evil kingdom and falls in love with a roguish maverick
>and this, what's this about? A princess with magical powers has to defeat an evil kingdom and falls in love with a roguish maverick

So that's why there's so much being written. Some YA is ok, so I get why you'd read it, but most of its for kids and is also awful. Do adults read it as well?

YA is the easiest to BS because all the themes and ideas are exactly the same.

Skylark has a cult following here.

Who cares? You need to get a life dude. You're bitching about people on Youtube making shitty and unpopular videos.

You don't read much poetry...

you were literally shaking and cried when trump was elected and we haven't even got started yet

But anons, you do realize normal people are not like that.

I was very glad Trump was elected actually, he is the buffoon that has displayed how inept the Liberal Class's hegemony is behind its facade

This guy's way of speaking is so insufferable.

Thank God here in Central Europe we don't have faggots like him.

dis nigga gay yall

what is so offensive about this guy

so idiots like him exist, big whoop

Everything about him makes me angry. His mannerisms, his voice, his way of speaking, his FUCKING BROKEN GLASSES. But I just couldn't stop watching and every second just made me more mad.

Honestly fuck you, OP.

how does it feel to be this triggered

feels Goodman

>there are people out there who read things other than the classics/philosophy/history

Fug lad, I'm fucking ready.

>implying anyone owns culture
>implying culture isn't the sum of society, made up of all its parts
>implying autists on an anime image board are taking anything back from the social mainstream

Lmao

Yep, it's not Indo-European. It does however have quite a few loanwords from IE-languages.

Think Brexit, think Trump, think shit like Soumission or 2084. We're clearly seeing a little rise of the right.

The next great literary movement will be right-wing.

>tfw too ugly to exploit dumb kids for youtube monies

Someone needs to bite the bullet and become the Veeky Forums booktuber
>today we're going to be talking about Infinite Jest by DFW
>there was really no discernable talent in it. Honestly it made King look like Cervantes

as a conservative myself: this.
the leftist user and right winger user are both retarded

Someone basically racist for not caring about the identity of the author in my book club

What the fuck happened to the death of the author?

a right-wing "movement" requires they get out of their computer chairs

Why do liberals have such predictable "jokes"?

Someone basically called me racist for not caring about the identity of the author in my book club

What the fuck happened to the death of the author?

I don't think it will be openly right wing. It will likely at root be a push to a sanity-based leftism that finally acknowledges the value of its own traditions and culture but does so cautiously - at least at first - for fear of blind reprisals from the further left or wrong appropriation from the further right. Depending on how you read it Soumission could be taken as a good exploratory instance of this (despite the more overt political aspects, which took a lot of flak from shitheads).

You think the next movement will be moderate leftism? Nope. Moderate leftism still pushes for egalitarian ideals. There will be a return to conservative ideals in both politics and art, and the new great artists will likely be fascists or traditionalists. This will be connected with a re-discovery of the Western canon and a general rejection of the contemporary avant-garde.

Moderate leftists have never done anything of note and they never really will.

>implying that replying "TRIGGERED" to everything and haphazardly tossing together "SJW" terminology is any better

Veeky Forums is officially the most cucked board on Veeky Forums, kill yourseves mods

The most popular booktuber here mostly talks about good and classic lit and most YA reviews are to talk shit about

yeah they also throw around cuck for everything like a fucking retard

>Veeky Forums is officially the most cucked board on Veeky Forums, kill yourseves mods
They also deleted several threads for conservative literature in the past few days.

>what are memes
Why are liberals so uppity?

What happened? Did Veeky Forums just approve new janitors?

>mods deleted /pol/ bait comments and threads

I'm okay with this.

You mean the one that posted a picture of Obama's America as the OP and said "libcuck faggot cucks go back to r eddit" or the one that said "Niggers are inherently inferior at writing and other intellectual pursuits. I mean, do you even know blacks that actually read?".

Literally /pol/spamming. Genuine discussion was never the point.

What is the most popular booktuber?

Your sentence doesn't make sense. It's missing some words.

>everything I don't like is /pol/ bait
They've deleted numerous legitimate threads. Stop supporting this shit you rulecuck.

>WAAAAH ban all ideas I don't like!
I don't like liberals but I would never support taking away their right to free speech on this website.

>DUDE IT'S ONLY MEMES IM PRETENDING TO BE RETARDED

ok

See:
There's a non-/pol/ bait right wing lit thread that's been up for a day now.

>not being able to deal with Veeky Forums culture

>and the classics of old will be universally banned for being "problematic" and "non-inclusive" mark my fucking words


It's already happening user

And? Why do you think the mods should be allowed to determine which views are allowed here and which ones are not?

They've also been cleaning up that thread and deleting every post they don't like there.

This is Veeky Forums, if you want a safe space, look elsewhere.

There was literally nothing wrong with those threads and their content.

So many CTR shills on Veeky Forums right now.

>This is Veeky Forums, if you want a safe space, look elsewhere.

This isn't pol though. You seem to not understand that.

Political discussion, particularly heated discussion of modern politics, is not welcome on lit.

>muh CTR shills
>December

You belong in a dumpster. Go back to

>This isn't pol though. You seem to not understand that.
>Political discussion, particularly heated discussion of modern politics, is not welcome on lit.
What's your point? If it's literature related, it should be allowed. The mods are making a point to delete all conservative or offensive opinions. Literature and politics has a ton of overlap, and political discussion is not something to shy away from. Stop attacking an imaginary /pol/ boogeyman.

i'll take that over being a morbidly obese bottle-pisser
