I want to read some profound, esoteric literature, but I think my mind may be a bit too shallow to comprehend works from the likes of authors such as Joyce and Nietzsche.

So who are some authors, or books in general, that are a few rungs lower on the prolific scale, while still being quite prolific?

Here's this.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 14 16:31:53 2010 No.787600 Not to worry, OP. There are MANY crappy authors who are incredibly prolific.

The word you were looking for there, OP, might possibly have been profundity.
And judging by that I'm going to say you're at least sharp enough to recognize you're not going to get a whole lot from intellectually challenging works. That's at least better than assholes running around imageboards with bullshit half-baked attempts at analysis.

I think it says something about the psychology of the people here that they truly relish the opportunity to correct someone's understanding of a word, while ignoring the opportunity to suggest works to the OP that that they might consider beneficial to his mind.

HE USED DAT WORD WRONG

LETS GET IM BOYZ

Sure is attempt at pseudo-intellectualism in here.
