your three favourite authors being american was enough for her to realize she was talking to someone with a room temperature iq

>>21946433
Frog and green poster combos should be executed.

>>21946433
Holy fuck you were BTFO by her taste and you started seething in this fictitious scenario

>>21946433
She's right and you're wrong. Your choices are shit.

>>21946433
She sounds based and I hope she has enough sense to realize that your sperginess is more arrogant than it is passionate.

>>21946442
How does being American disqualify someone from being a great author?

>>21946451
Her taste is just being pretentious, she even pronounced Proust like a French movie villain

>>21946466
>pretentious
Reddit word. We're on /lit/ and that word doesn't mean shit here.
> she even pronounced Proust like a French movie villain
Problem, pleb?

Why would someone come up with a story where he's the idiot?

>>21946474
that's frog posters for you

>>21946471
How about the word simp?

Your friend mogged you LOL

>>21946508
>you're le simp!
You're the whole idiotic package. I don't even know this person. All I know is her taste is better than yours. No way you're older than 18.

>>21946466
>How does being American disqualify someone from being a great author?
Americans are subhuman.

>>21946521
What a big nothing burger. I’m 26 and she’s 19. You are literally just white knighting for a woman you won’t ever see

>>21946541
Imagine having worse taste than a teenager then calling others "white knights" for pointing out the obvious. HAS to be bait.

>>21946546
Taste is subjective, I never said she had bad taste but her reasoning was clearly fabricated and that is why I called her out

>>21946554
Nigger, you said your authors are better because they are "actually true to life" and then that she "needs better lessons in literature." You're in no position to call anyone out lol come on now.

>>21946566
I gave my reasoning for my choices and she just parroted it even though it is clearly insane to say Kafka is true to life

>>21946572
Kafka is true to life, though.

>>21946433
now try non english speaking authors anon

>>21946614
People turn into cockroaches in real life?

>>21946652
>People turn into cockroaches in real life?
>tell her I think she needs better lessons in literature
Is this a bait?

dumb frogposter

>>21946433
dude you are such a retard. please, do the greater good and kill you

>>21947091
I obviously know the book is not intended to be “realistic”, I’m not an idiot. That’s my point

>>21946652
>>21947155
Anon you're just a pseud, learn how to into modesty.

>>21947155
The short story (not a book) is realistic. Do you know what a metaphor is?

>>21946433
Mucho texto.
The three best writers are Hamsun, Mishima and Pound.

>women don’t actually read to read
You mean woman? The vapid, annoying, made-up woman you wrote this green text about to feel vindicated? Not saying these women don’t exist but cmon anon.

My favorites are Irvin Yalom, Giovannino Guareschi and Richard Adams. The ones you listed are plain garbage. The ones she listed are fine except for Kafka.

>>21946433
Please be bait. You’re cringe af OP.
>yes I take literature very seriously

>>21946433
she has better taste than you

what a fucking autism is this

>>21946433
>You have a lot of growing up to do
> I know, she says
Holy fuck how do you recover from this? Besides denial you're displaying I mean.
Sadly this female airhead is miles ahead of you anon, your subconscious is screaming at you to start actually maturing, instead of conflating intellectual clout with experience and maturity

>>21946433
>say McCarthy, Hemingway and Kerouac
that is so fucking cringe there aren't even proper words for it. anything past this point is invalid, doubly so because you posted a smug frog. you don't get to be smug.

>>21946433
God, you're so fucking cringe. You realize that you're a fucking NPC with delusions, right?

>>21946433
You asked for your riend's top 3 20th century authors, and then inserted afterwards the standard "true to life" for no good reason. Here's your (You), sperg.

>>21947185
Do you know what realistic means?

>>21947368
How do I recover from her admitting she has to grow up? I don’t follow

>>21947420
She ended up being way more mature than you are. Although considering your reading comprehension in this thread, I'm starting to think I'm the immature retard, falling for bait.

>>21947427
Maybe you yourself aren’t mature, or other people in this thread. It takes maturity to appreciate literature which is true to life. When you’re young or childish it seems boring or pointless. As you grow and gain wisdom you see the world isn’t a fairy tale and start to what literature which portrays it honestly

>>21946433
>she makes a very serious face at me and keeps staring
>stare back unamused
>she starts laughing
What a fucking Stacy making this retard sperg out. Making pseuds seethe while also embodying everything Gombrowicz captured in his novels is impressive.

>>21947456
I refuse to believe a person can unironically state this, then say Kafka is unrealistic(if understanding the human condition is your metric for maturity/realism).

>>21947547
Realism means actually plausible in real life as opposed to fantastic or exaggerated

>>21946433
Kerouac isn't even that good, you are just shitposting

>>21947577
Retard

> The New York Times hailed the book's appearance as "the most beautifully executed, the clearest and the most important utterance yet made by the generation Kerouac himself named years ago as 'beat,' and whose principal avatar he is."[1] In 1998, the Modern Library ranked On the Road 55th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. The novel was chosen by Time magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005.[2]

>>21947420
>How do I recover from her admitting she has to grow up? I don’t follow

I'm taking the bait. She's admitting she has faults and has growing to do, a sign of maturity, you daft clown. Something you're clearly incapable of. She's already miles ahead of you in terms of mindset and character.

>>21947621
Thanks anon, I couldn't bring myself to keep biting.

>>21947621
She blamed her shortcomings on daddy issues, I don’t think that’s mature. It was obvious the way she was laughing she wasn’t sincere about trying to improve but just didn’t care she had failings

>>21947611
One, I have read On the Road, it's nice and have some interesting feeling about the time it was written, so I like it, but I think there are better books written in the last century. Two, your own post is pointing out he's, at most, top 50 in the last century, when OP was talking top 3

>>21947668
>>21946554

Taste is subjective and you only read a single book by him. I don’t expect the masses to rate Kerouac highly but I do because of wisdom and understanding of what it means to be free

OP must be dumbest on board atm

>>21947570
>Family looking down at NEET is fantastic and exaggerated
Are you a NEET?

>>21947694
Looking down on a neet is realistic but waking up as a literal gigantic cockroach is not

>>21946523
Says the faggot who probably lives in some buttfuck village in Bulgaria.

>>21946442
This. OP probably has a self-humiliation complex writing posts like these.

>>21946433
TLDR
>I rehearsed a question in my mind all night
>when I asked it the next day she wasn't swooning like I had expected
>she loled
>I reee'd
actually the grapes were probably sour anyway!

>>21946433
Joyce Proust and Kafka are way more profound than boat writer, avant garde hipster poet, and literal cowboy pulp writer

>>21946433
>McCarthy, Hemingway and Kerouac
lmao. They're not bad authors, but top 3 of the century? Pretty obvious you've got some masculinity related issues

i wanna marry this women so fucking bad bros

>>21946466
>ultraposeur accuses anyone else of pretentiousness
lol

>>21948707
she doesn't exist

>>21946433
Sanderson
Patterson
King

>>21946474
>he doesn't follow the "frogposter gets into an argument with /lit/'s dream girl and acts dismissive towards her and is ignorant of her sexual desire" threads

>>21946433
>McCarthy, Hemingway and Kerouac
LOL

>>21946433
She's right, you're wrong. Absolutely BTFO.

>>21946433
You're not doing it right.

>>21946433
>askance
Nigga nobody says askance jfc

>>21946433
>woman
>Kafka
>more real to life
Ok anon, how much does she weigh?

>>21946433
Everyone point and laugh. Thanks at least for unifying everyone in mocking your smug stupidity. Back to barracks, Kinch.

>>21948528
Why exactly do women stigmatize “masculine” authors?

>>21948884
I met her at the gym and she goes a lot, she overheard me talking to my friend about how I wish women cared about their minds as much as their looks. She deliberately bumped into me and said mea culpa and thought it sounded really smart. I actually was a little impressed but got back to my workout. She asked what I was listening to and I said sabaton and she asked what it was and I said it was like warrior music. She said she loved warrior music and I said really she said sure and asked me to come over to a quieter spot and she sung a Modern Major General but started cracking up as infernal nonsense pinafore and we became friends after that.

Eliot, Kafka, Proust

>>21948912
Sounds like you’re both pseuds

>>21946451
This. This 100%. It's hilarious to imagine OP thinks he's the winner in this :D if anything he's uptight, moralising and boring. He could've even maybe got along with the silly reading girl.

Now he's on his way to post "tfw no gf" and woman-hating-threads.

>>21948803
This is correct, OP baited this entire thread into 70+ replies

>>21946433
This was so avoidable.
>ask friend who she thinks are the top three writers of the 20th Century are
>she looks evasive. uh i don’t know, who do you think?
>nevermind
Once they start the spin, just get off of the ride.

>>21946433
Sounds like a scene from a french arthouse movie

>>21948870
this is up there with the greentexts made by that guy who joined a monastery

I appreciate the effort anons put into shitposting on this board because people actually fall for these stories.

>>21946433
Joyce, proust and kafka are way better picks, you should've said Melville and you might’ve got your dick wet

>>21949858
Melville isn’t 20th Century, Anon
