Thoughts? Are they right?

>>24610279 (OP)
I don‘t know but you‘re not right for bringing xitter here you gay nigger

>>24610279 (OP)
why ozymandias? nothing from the 19th century is reddit

>>24610279 (OP)
Delete post.

Ozymandias the poem? What does that have to do with reddit

>>24610279 (OP)
Where's Nietzsche?

>blood meridian
The psychic damage of all those poorly drawn judge holden fanarts on /r/CormacMcCarthy has damaged the book’s reputation forever.

The Mask?

>>24610279 (OP)
Yes. My thoughts are rigid. Rigid about tight high balls waiting to cum as I rub them from inside their anus.

>>24610285
This. Useless thread

I mean yeah pretty much right other than calling all that stuff literature those are all just books not literature

>>24610279 (OP)
My thoughts are that reddit is gay and xitter is the gayest.

okay fine reddit can have all of king but please can we keep misery
it's the only thing he ever wrote that was actually really good

>>24610429
Hit a nerve lol

>>24610492
>more faggy noises

>>24610306
Probably because there's this show whose supposed greatest episode is named Ozymandias

>>24610488
Sell me on it. Ive never read a single King but I liked the shining movie.

>>24610279 (OP)
One hundred percent right. Ozymandias and Blood Meridian are obviously major works of literature but they have absolutely become Reddit. The thinking Redditor’s choice when they want to seem educated. They like the former because of le breaking bad and le watchmen, the latter because le epic grimdark.

>>24610286
Probably because a Breaking Bad episode was titled after it. Redditers are definitely not reading Percy Shelley

blood meridian is like kubrick, radiohead, final fantasy 7.

it's so good it ends up getting too popular and snobs can't countenance the normie stink that now clings to it.

>>24610564
Weirdo faggots begat other weirdo faggots.

The problem with Reddit isn't that the site's format terminates any discussion that takes place beyond the top 5 upvoted posts for any given thread. It's not the censorship, the cultural rigidity produced thereof, or even the dysgenic moderators through whose Cheetos-laced fingers it is all enforced. It is not even the self-assured imperialistic nature by which this culture spreads itself, taken for granted by all who hold it that it is the consensus view in whatever place they find themselves in. No—the real problem with Reddit is when its users like things that are popular within my hobbyist niche.

>>24610507
>whose supposed greatest episode is named Ozymandias
Thinking any episode in Series 5 is the best episode of BB is a reddit opinion. Series 5 isn't good.

>>24610564
It's like Evangelion to me where this strangely evocative esoteric masterpiece somehow touched a chord and got mainstream leading to massive misinterpretation and dilution of discussion with a culture that was never meant to get into it.

>>24610279 (OP)
>le ozymandias is le reddit because leddit loves breaking bad and its like the only thing that poem is good for cuz it was referenced in it lel

>>24610803
You can still like Ozymandias, you know. You don't have to stop liking it because someone you don't know said it reminded them of a forum aggregator website.

>>24610880
telling others how their opinion is retarded will not change mine, obviously i will continue to enjoy what i like

>>24610803
You’re malding because it’s accurate

less than useless. A thread, died for this shit-stain of an OP premise.

>>24610507
>Ozymandias
I immediately think... the Watchmen.

>>24610587
maybe best post ITT.

Seriously, though, what DOES make a book Reddit? All the books in OP’s post feel spiritually Reddit to me, they have the right vibe, but what’s the throughline, what do they have in common? Because obviously there’s a pretty big gulf between the best and the worst books on this list. Why are these books specifically reddit?

>>24610279 (OP)
Yes. I'd like Dune but the Dune worshippers are Reddit

>>24610279 (OP)
Peak redditry is posting on the most normalfaggot website of all time (xitter) and pretending you're above other people

>>24611154
ynbaw

>>24611192
Because they are either written for redditors, by redditors, or adopted by redditors. King writes for Redditors, GRMM is a Redditor (fat and glasses), and Mccarthy's work was hijacked by Redditors who think the judge is literature’s Darth Vader.

>>24610279 (OP)
>Blood Meridian
Is not Reddit in itself, but people like Wendigoon have made it so; thank god Suttree is safe (so far). And I agree with Murakami being semi-reddit but I like him anyway as a guilty pleasure.

>>24610517
There's also a song by one of Australia's most cerebral bands of all time, TISM, named for it

>>24611223
>Suttree
has become the go-to response for Redditors who think BM is too sad. “Read Suttree instead! Way funnier! That parts with the watermelons….heeehee!”

>>24610517
>Redditers are definitely not reading Percy Shelley
I remember my parents making me read it in middle school. I'm sure redditors would, if they took a decent English class.
Still a good poem

>>24611282
oh no suttree is now reddit. the crossing has probably been claimed by the barbarous hordes at this point too. you know what the only mccarthy work i like is his play the stonemason. it's about a black kid named soldier that smokes crack or whatever and it's a masterpiece. all else is yikes and reddit.

>>24610279 (OP)
Is 14th-17th century literature reddit?

>>24611292
Yeah everything you like will be fucked by retards and there’s nothing you can do about it. Oh well. There’s always Faulkner.

>>24611282
Of course they all reference the outlandish thing that happens 20 pages into a book which is full of them

>>24610478
This actually looks accurate.

>>24611223
Maturity is realizing All the pretty horses is McCarthy's best book.

>>24610784
It's funny thinking back on the whole "Evangelion is a deconstruction of the Super Robot genre" discourse that lasted for decades because those people were simply unfamiliar with older Tomino mecha shows (most importantly Ideon) and the Ultraman/kaiju movies that were the main inspirations for Eva. They just saw it as defying the tropes of the mecha genre of the time because that's all they knew since all the older influences hadn't reached western markets. Same people then called TTGL a "reconstruction" of the mecha genre despite it basically being a Getter Robo tribute.

>>24611857
The Crossing clears easily.

>>24610587
This but unironically. Having your stuff liked by redditors must be the same feeling a woman had when an incel likes her.

>>24610784
>>24612634
Evangelion is trash

>>24612699
no.

>>24612714
Yes

>Flowers for Algernon

if you cried at the ending you didn't understand the book.

>>24613043
hes right

>Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan we thought it would be mysterious. None of the staff who worked on Eva are Christians. There is no actual Christian meaning to the show, we just thought the visual symbols of Christianity look cool. If we had known the show would get distributed in the US and Europe we might have rethought that choice."

>>24610279 (OP)
how did this get 2.3M views? is hating reddit finally mainstream now that they banned porn?

>>24610279 (OP)
add erikson

>>24615046
Twitter is a weird place now. Dogshit gets viral more than twas.

>>24614829
who cares about that. eva is so much more than the decorative religious imagery that it happens to contain.

>>24610279 (OP)
Aside from Percy, I pretty much agree with every single one, although I still like DOON

>>24610279 (OP)
This is all pretty vibes-based and as such subject to disagreement, but I think they’re all spot-on. It’s not so much that all these works are inherently Reddit, but rather the culture around them is often is.

It’s obviously not exhaustive though. Where is The Martian, for example? Or Vonnegut? Those are some major omissions.
