Anyway, literature thread I guess |
Date: November 2nd, 2026 11:30 AM Author: Consuela I’ve read like 4 of his works. I like submission but every book of his is the same, same protagonist, same themes, it’s pretty ridiculous
Camus was unreadable to me |

Z68dLByGQmEEr8DwpEgrxrdLdBpeBsk5SjER34q2Sd5 Date: November 2nd, 2026 11:36 AM Author: MASE It doesn't make me want to read more. Oh holy shit you're telling me the SEXUAL REVOLUTION was le bad? Maybe this was a groundbreaking info hazard in 1998 to be fair
Camus is great. Always loved in the Stranger how the emotional deadness of the protagonist evaporates when faced with the priest |

Date: November 2nd, 2026 11:40 AM Author: Consuela Yes, if you’ve read one houllecbecq book you’ve read them all
Camus is unreadable to me because his work is based on the assumption that life is meaningless and therefore absurd. I think life is meaningful but horrifying. But because your approach is absurdist I can see why you like him |

The Protagonist is a loathsome character, but he is Real (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5917359&forum_id=2#50222349) |

You don't have to agree with the author's core beliefs |

Date: November 2nd, 2026 11:55 AM Author: Adult Friendship Finder Okay but what if you're a completely over the top pathological narcissist who Thinks He Is God. What then? Is it still okay for the author to not share your exact beliefs. You Are God, after all. Seems like an issue imo (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5917359&forum_id=2#50222371) |

Date: November 2nd, 2026 11:55 AM Author: Consuela You don’t have to agree with them, I agree. I liked reading Augustine even though I disagreed with his privatio boni beliefs, and I just finished a book by a Chabad guy which was good even though I disagreed with him. I guess I just don’t like outright nihilism (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5917359&forum_id=2#50222372) |

Date: November 2nd, 2026 11:31 AM Author: Adult Friendship Finder He was a partial impetus for my peronal redpilling about books. The guy definitely has good ideas, is very smart, and understands the world at a deep level. But his books just aren't compelling. You finish them and you don't feel like you've been enriched as a person by doing so. Even though your conscious brain recognizes them as "good"
I came to the conclusion that if even Houellebecq's writing just isn't actually a very good investment of one's time to read, then maybe no books are (fact check: True) |

Z68dLByGQmEEr8DwpEgrxrdLdBpeBsk5SjER34q2Sd5 Date: November 2nd, 2026 11:38 AM Author: MASE The best modern writers can't seem to do much more than say "shit's fucked" and then offer no solution beyond nihilism or hermeticism (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5917359&forum_id=2#50222326) |

Date: November 2nd, 2026 11:51 AM Author: Adult Friendship Finder Fiction is supposed to be separate from and transcend The World's Problems and The Current Situation
No one is able to do this anymore, so it's a Dead Medium imo |

Date: November 2nd, 2026 11:34 AM Author: aryan chad Last compelling fiction I read, written since 1960, was The Turner Diaries
Otherwise gotta stick with non fiction
Good storytelling comes from experience and suffering and being grounded — to reality and to the old ways
We simply don’t live in an era that forges good writers |

you need to eat baguettes, cheeses, and charcuterie while reading
you need to smoke cigarettes while reading
you need to be sitting at the terrace of a faggy cafe while reading |
