Favorite book

damn, this thread isn't really much good

Meh, it's a little bit of that, but it's also kind of fun. The greatest is when someone mentions a book that you've read, but you tell them you haven't read it. Continue to have the conversation and have it travel a little bit out of context and then start reaching towards themes from the book and wonder if they catch on.

This user gets it. Bitches love Les Mis for some reason

Just go off the assumption they've seen the movie and may or may not have read the book. If they've only seen the movie don't go full Hugo-explaining-sewer-systems on them.

The Threepenny Novel

Gravity's Rainbow for both.

But the truth is it's Ulysses :^)

>None. I don't get people who have a favorite book/album/movie. Writer/artist, sure but a book is generally too limited at some point.
Everyone is sick of this kind of posturing and can see right through it.

I don't understand this.

Because being honest with a woman is the easiest way to become a cuck

How many hot girls are asking you people what your favorite books are

That's never happened once in my life

I can't pick a favorite book.

If a girl asks me what my favorite book is, my answer depends on how much I know her, and what kind of reader I think she is.

I know a lot of Catholic women for some odd reason, so to them, I'd say Paradise Lost or The Divine Comedy.

To a woman that I know to be an English major, I'd say Canterbury Tales or Much Ado (virtually anything by Shakespeare that isn't Hamlet or R&J would be just as good).

To someone that likes YA or genre fiction, I'd say Jane Eyre or Pride and Prejudice.

To anyone else, I'd say that I couldn't choose.

>favourite book
Main Currents of Marxisms (no joke)
>when a girl asks
Probably 1984 or some Dostoevsky

D-Do girls like Dostoyevsky?
Pls respond.

my sister does

Why would they? Every female depicted in Dosto is subsumed by the madonna/whore complex. What woman would wanna read Notes from Underground? Smh all these people. If you wanna impress a girl tell them you read like Zadie Smith or Roxanne Gay.

I don't have a favourite book. The answer depends on the context but better just pick a title, any title, rather than worry about honest answers. People aren't that interested.

"I don't know maybe Fathers and Sons haha"

I don't think I want to impress girls who like anglo feminists.

Is she qt?

not really i guess

>Oh man, I don't know. I like a whole bunch of different books and it depends, I guess. I really enjoyed...

>Crime and Punishment
>user... that's kinky ;^)

All of the women in Dostoevsky's books were roastie whores. Women probably don't dig that.

literally me

They're also often portrayed as suffering and lacking maternal love/guidance.
I don't think it's so black and white.

grils are used to identify with male character anyway

*identifying

Checked!

It's autism awareness month, have you been checked?

dude... that's autistic and some might even see it as a little underhanded lol

Gravity's Rainbow. I'm married, and my wife is the only girl that asks me about books. No use lying at this point, she sees me pick it up every day and read my favorite passages.

Just wanted to chime in on this Bernhard convo and say that Woodcutters is my personal favorite of the five or so I've read. Don't sleep on Correction either. Also you can get many of his books on libgen fyi.

Bernhard is fucking amazing and quickly becoming my favorite author.

Implying that a girl will ever ask you what is your favourite book.

pickle rick is gunna have a good time

Yeah well maybe if you weren't rectifying all the time you'd still have your head attached to your shoulders.

Did you ever think of that, smart guy?

Silmarillion , the Sun Also Rises

>favorite book

>favorite book when a hot girl asks you
Crash

Faust
I'm not attracted to ('matured') women.

?

it's just a pedo
ignore it

lol pedo

a 'pedo' wouldn't use the word 'woman' at all. I like adolescents, you twerps.

I've noticed many jewesses like Dosto.
So if you wanna sacrifice your DNA for the purpose of lowering inbreeding and tay sachs among jews then say Dosto.

>In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust
>"this 7-volume series written by a man who shot another man for outing him as gay, it's French and very romantic"

Favorite: Dangling Man (Bellow) or Demian (Hesse)
Public Favorite: East of Eden

its been my favourite book for a couple of years now. if you like kurosawa and get anxious over how smart or educated you are then it's a book that'll keep on giving. also stylistically interesting.

shot at. he didn't hit him. and it wasn't an outing, it was a suggestion. and i don't think many people who'd read - or at least understood, the two often fail to go together - would choose romantic as one of its prime characteristics.
