I’m not sure what books I like that is “usually hated”. Mixed reviews around here fro Stirner and Nietzsche, but what do these people read, if anything?

Scarlet Letter's a great book; Seven Gables is even better, and Blithedale more modern than I anticipated, and very entertaining. That a writer of his caliber gets dissed so regularly here used to upset me..

No one cares who you date you filthy fucking whore whose entire existence revolves around the micro-politics of twentysomethings fucking eachother. Enjoy your weekly two hours of browsing 4chan before going back to your normie twitter friends and saying some gay normie shit like "yeah i use that awful website lol." I hope you're in another window right now, talking in an SSRI monotone to your fellow discord e-thots who all e-date redditors, endlessly talking about how bored you are and trying to get someone to watch a movie with you. Enjoy hitting 30 as a permanently adolescent woman with no hobbies other than typing in lowercase and sharing "memes" from a website that instantly detects you as someone who obviously doesn't belong on it. Every second you spent reading this and every millisecond you spend thinking up and typing a reply to me is a second your aging pussy will never get back. Your pussy has finite time and it's wrinkling up as you read this. Stop reading now. If you even reply to me dismissively with a few words that is how many words worth of time I stole from your pussy before you became a wrinkled old whore. As you wander the earth loveless and alone your dried up mausoleum of a pussy will forever record all of its precious minutes and seconds you squandered on things other than getting a husband and building a life for yourself, and on some small corner of some small wall I will be permanently etched in your pussy's history as time squandered. Alt+tab to your Discord now roastie!! Tell your e-thot friends how bored you are!! They're going to keep caring when you say "i'm bored lol. where's my dank weed at? kek 420 caturday" even when you're 30, don't worry. You having no personality and no hobbies and no career will all be fine well into your 30s and 40s and beyond. Don't worry about basing your entire existence around a rigid hierarchy of socio-sexual value that tricks you into thinking you're its gatekeeper while really using you as its objectified currency. That will last forever. People still want your pussy when you look like a frumpy mannish goblin and you're 29. It's still dorky in a cute way when you identify as a 4chan posting "alternative" girl in your late twenties. You have lots of time roastie. The clock isn't ticking. Spend more precious seconds calling men losers on 4chan. Just another few seconds. It's Sunday. The best way to send your Sunday is to keep talking to men who hate you, on a website where you intuitively and immediately stand out to everybody as a bitter outsider.

>>15081992
he's thought as mediocrely written sentimental trash, which is true.

>>15082001
For me he's just stylistically off putting
I did rather like his brief history of American literature, however- kind of a combo Nietzsche wannabe/proto Leslie Fiedler in that one fwiw

>>15081971
Yep, I’m thinking he’s based

>>15082001
Sorry, thought the inquiry concerned Lawrence, not Hawthorne.
Most of the negativity about him here generally concerns what is perceived to be his stodginess, verbosity, and typical use of symbols. In fact he's not only a great writer but like his buddy Melville a great artist. Few here give him the time, or hated Scarlet Letter when having to read it in hs so just stopped there.

wrong and normie virgin pilled
>>15081800
By having unshakable confidence and energy in your frame of reality , you suck her in and impose your values until she adopts them as her values as well and you're the best man in that system and only one on top of it since it is your frame.
You hook her in by having a high energy field, they just want to feel better so are easily hooked like fish to a bait.
The gravitational pool of your personal reality needs to be very solid.
Study cult leaders.

I never understood the critical acclaim behind "The Great Gatsby". I always disliked it in high school, even though it seemed like one of the most popular novels among my peers.
I think than, in terms of being a novel, "The Fountainhead" is pretty good. Reading Rand's philosophy, or god forbid that ideological trough "Atlas Shrugged" is a terrible experience, but in general I had a good time reading "The Fountainhead". It has a wider reach than I'd expect, too. My Bernie-supporting undergrad girlfriend adored the novel, even though she obviously disagrees with Rand's politics.

>>15083230
>also learn to not be a simp who believes money will fix unrequitted love
Here's my issue: that's exactly how F. Scott lived his life. He was a total hypocrite. He soaked in the decadent abundance of the 20s more than Gatsby did. He came from a rich family, and always wanted to be richer. So his criticism of this life rings hollow to me. Also: he actively plagiarized from Zelda, then when she got upset about it he had her institutionalized and called her writing third-rate. He's a vacuous prick, and I doubt I'll change that perspective in my life.

This is actually based and red and black pilled. This is why women are attracted to serial killers.

I just fucking hate Gatsby, and anything written by Faulkner.

>>15083185
The reason Gatsby is so widely taught in Highschool is because it's a useful tool for teaching symbolism. It's a very ok book, normies like it because they want to larp as if theyre in the 20s and they have a very shallow understanding of the book as being about romance or being rich and partying. Very gay. If you actually read the book its more about how the rich take advantage of the poor, the area where the poor people live is literally called the valley of the dead. I'm not a fan of the book, but I don't like seeing so many normies say its their favorite book cuz its the only one they liked in highschool

I hate anything by Steinbeck

>>15081875
Remember last time you had a knee jerk reaction to that image and you got completely destroyed?

>If you actually read the book its more about how the rich take advantage of the poor, the area where the poor people live is literally called the valley of the dead
Except Fitzgerald forgets to do literally anything with this symbolism except vomit it onto the page with such dissonance that it almost cuts the story in half, then promptly absolves himself of needing to reconcile an ending for the story by having Daisy get yeeted by a car.
Fucking 11/10.

The literary device of "dude just vomit elementary symbolism onto the page lmao" would later be employed by Vonnegut, too, in Slaughterhouse-5 - wonder what the connection there is (it's called being a hack).

>>15083648
>forgets to do literally anything with this symbolism except vomit it onto the page
I guess that's why >>15083604 said it's widely taught. The symbolism is very ham-fisted, so it's easy to get dumbasses in high school to be like "oh I get it, the light on the other shore is like how the characters in the book all want something that seems directly in their grasp, but is unobtainable or only opaque". It's Fitzgerald's incompetence that make him so easy to teach to high schoolers I guess.

Imagine your opinion of someone could justify their wealth more powerfully than what the rest of the world thought of them - it's a quasi-narcissism but it takes a couple of these fuck ups to shake things up.

Just got boaring. I enjoyed Tom Sawyer though. Might read it again to see if I was just retarded when I read it first.
> 12 Rules for Life
I read it being a huge Reddit epic stoicism fag, and despite having turnt away from that philosophy and lifestyle now, I still believe the essential point is important. Not to forget that Peterson has done some interesting work in interpretating religious texts. That part of his work is often underlooked. However, all his talk about postmodern marxism and such is pure junk.

I hate everything I read from Isaac Asimov and Zora Neale Hurston. This board used to like Kierkegaard, but now it doesn't. I still think he's great.

>>15083255
>He soaked in the decadent abundance of the 20's more than Gatsby did
Indeed, and he detested himself for it. Much of his work was highly self-critical and certainly wasn't written to flatter himself - he was critiquing high class American society, and most of all his place in it

>>15082325
This isn't even some macho redpill shit but a fact. Girls start editing their identity to fit better with their bf. Idk, or care, if it is the result of evolutionary biology or systemic patriarchal brainwashing but I have seen it happen over and over with my friends and their gfs who incrementally shift their interests and values to whatever their bf believes and does.

There's no magic rule for this. You can have dozens of qualities, it will all come down to luck, in the end. That's why you might see couples where one partner is considerably more attractive and better in many other aspects than the other. It will all come down to the mere chance of meeting a girl like this, the girl being single at the moment, and the girl being insterested in you. As long as you're not a repulsive person, it will all come down to luck, so just relax, sit back, roll the dice, and let it be.

>>15082596
No, look at the media of the time and you'll find the 1950s were very out there and transgressive/progressive, the 1960s were relatively conservative in many ways.

Point is: relative to the '20's
Perhaps the early '60's but then as a decade you've got the Summer of Love and hippy kids rolling around naked in Woodstock mud to contend with
If there's 'wild, transgressive stuff' going on in the '50's it's merely by contrast; after all, what was it the '60's kids 'rebelled against'? Certainly not the roaring '20's..

Mansfield Park. Perhaps Austen's best.

>>15085547
>Perhaps the early '60's but then as a decade you've got the Summer of Love and hippy kids rolling around naked in Woodstock mud to contend with
It's still very conservative. The reason why "Summer of Love" is considered so wild is that it was in the context of a very conservative society.
>what was it the '60's kids 'rebelled against'
The culture of the time.
>Point is: relative to the '20's
People in the 20's were still highly deferent my man.
