seriously, who?
surely the people who this is meant to appeal to have all succumbed to the tiktot brainrot and lack the attention span needed to actually read a book
the tags on the right literally say "tiktok sensation"

Women between 13-25
Well, at least there is one (1) good book.
>Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
why are women so into it? i thought they would be furious about it
Women love gay men. That's why they made a retelling of the illiad but focused on the romance of patroculs and achiles.
still,
>hedonism is bad, actually
doesn't really sound like it would popular with today's youth, especially women
I think women's taste in literature is so different they might as well be aliens. Books written by women also largely have an alien mindset to me
>Oscar Wilde by Dorian Gray
I've heard good things about Donna Tartt but never read her, any basis to those claims?
Donna Tart is unironically based.
Idk what was in the water (or the weed) in New Hampshire in the 70s/80s but her and Bret Easton Ellis did something right (though shes leagues ahead of him imo)
Vermont, actually, and you're a moron.
It's not worth the drudge. I would rather fucking gouge out my own eyes with seafood forks, then staple my nuts to a moving treadmill, than try and grapple the turgid prose of The Secret History again. I gave that book everything I had. I would break out in tears open the cover of that brick of trash.
Imagine Max from Rushmore were actually the middle class WASP he pretended to be, how hard you'd want to smash that guy's fucking skull in when he "corrects" your pronounciation of Thor or something, then launches into some lecture on how he akshully had red hair and a beer gut.
I cannot understand American literature.
She's originally from the deep south, Mississippi, which is usually a plus is my book but yeah Bennington is in VT.
>bret easton ellis
I also seem to remember liking Gun with Occasional Music when I read it years ago, which is also by an author from that Bennington circle of friends.
Regardless, she seems divisive so I will give her a try for myself and see what I think, thanks.
I like her books but in an indulgent sort of way.
she's shit. she writes edgy harry potter and pretends she has an IQ of 180.
He’s obviously talking about Glucose Revolution. I’ve heard it’s on par with Anna Karenina and Brothers Karamazov
atomic habits yep
Yeah, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Theif
People that actually read books
>double murakami
also I've actually read one of the books there, prisoners of geography
it rambled quite a bit and I don't remember much from it
Atomic Habits is nice book. JBP's books are there too, that is nice if tiktok women are reading those, it be good for them.
I absolutely must get rid of my Murakami novels.
I like murakami
My dad read Sapiens and Homo Deus, and tried to reccomend that shit to me when I was like 12
damn i didn't even realize it was 9 years old, i just got used to seeing it everywhere
sapiens is bullshit. hermes invented language and greek history is millions of years old. your dad should go to the bookstore and ask for a refund
i've read a little life, klara and the sun, kafka on the shore, the seven moons of maali almeida and the secret history
they were all of interest but not amazing. the best is probably the ishiguro but it's not his best
i'm interested in the virgin suicides; i liked the movie
Who reads THIS garbage? There was a stack of nearly 20 of these at my local used bookstore at a generous discount.
The same women that work at schools and teach your kids.
So what exatly is in a 'companion' to some book by some cunt screeching about white supremacy? More of the same?
Thankfully I have this graphic to succinctly explain everything, no book needed
>Winner/loser dichotomy
Is there any other way to tackle competition though? there is a winner and then there is the first place of the losers and the rest of the losers
>nuclear family
Don't actual white supremacists hate this and favor multigenerational households?
White supremacists are a varying bunch. Some are retarded and think the nuclear family strengthens the country. Others are retarded and think you're obligated to house a deadbeat grandfather.
They are all retarded.
Yet there were studies that argued that the emphasis on the nuclear family did provide more off springs. Normally for states to take them to the s̶l̶a̶u̶g̶h̶t̶e̶r̶h̶o̶u̶s̶e̶ the military.
>rugged individualism
not unique to white Americans, common thinking among anyone regardless of race who seeks to control their own destiny. Being a fatass is looked down upon most culture, maybe you got fat because of shitty parents, but you are staying fat by your own actions and have no one to blame but yourself!
>family structure
husband being the breadwinner is the norm across most cultures.
>work ethic
Hard working is consider a good trait among most culture and people who try to be successful. The only wrong here is that like in most cultures, westerners assumes everyone having the same potential, if you just work hard you will succeed. every able-bodied person can get fit, if you have double digit IQ you can forget about becoming an engineer, doesn't matter how hard you work.
>No tolerance for deviation from single god concept
never heard of the Nordic and Greek gods? Also contempt against Christianity is also common.
>respects authority
Rebels are often glorified in western cultures. Many western philosophers are preach about muh freedom.
>future oriented
being an idling and procrastination is not a good thing for anyone
>Time
Valuing your time is not a bad thing. just so you can make the most of your time on earth
>competition
Go to any market in any country, no such things as peaceful coexistence between merchants of the same trade, everyone is trying to outcompete everyone else.
>don't show emotion or discuss personal life
Because these things can be weaponized against you!
Are the upper branch of National Museum of African American History and Culture, implying that these values are bad and need to gotten rid off? Well African American culture of single motherhood, hedonism, mooching, lazing around, impulsive behavior, time wasting and victim mentality haven't worked out for them. Maybe give some western value a chance? Just adopting the family structure would help them immensely.
>a stack of nearly 20
>at a generous discount
nobody read it, your used bookstore got unsold merchandise from an "unused" bookstore
see if there's a mark on the page edges somewhere, that's the telltale sign of unsold stock (fyi if you buy old vinyl records with notches cut out of the cover, that's the same thing)
>see if there's a mark on the page edges somewhere
What does that imply? they were being held together by some sort of cord?
It's so they can legally sell them on as 'shop soiled' or something similar. Contractual stuff to stop stores from just unloading unwanted stock and undercutting the publisher agreed price
That's a really interesting thing to notice. How'd you pick up such a small detail at first?
no, a mark that someone wrote on it with a permanent marker
it's called a remainder mark, if stores don't sell a book they can send it back to the publisher for a refund, the publisher marks the books and then sells them at a discount price. The mark means that whoever bought them at a discount can't send them back to the publisher again
whites are:
>a global minority (6% of the global population and declining)
>the fourth highest income group in the US, behind israelites, indians, and east asians
>widely criticised and this criticism is supported by and promoted on mainstream channels with hundreds of millions of viewers
>the only people taking in large amounts of refugees (how many paki refugees does china take in? are nigerians moving en masse to japan? does singapore take in millions of mexicans?)
>the only people with large amounts of imported labor for high paying jobs, which the local residents are forced to compete for
>discriminated against in the countries they themselves founded and built
>discriminated against in the companies they themselves created and made successful
>the only people referred to by their skincolor (African-Americans, Asian-Americans... imagine if we called Asians "yellows".)
>the only people who do not get a capitalization
Let's talk about israeli privilege.
No one buys this shit. It's all money laundering. Some nagger gets paid money from some uber wealthy activist dipshit/israelite to vomit some anti-white rhetoric onto the page. B&N buys them, but they never sell. The main thing is that said uber wealthy person(s) or corrupt school systems or some equally bullshit entity buys up thousands of these books and they most likely sit in a storage facility somewhere never being opened thank god.
I work in a liberal ass town full of white guilt, still mask wearing homosexuals and even they don't buy this garbage.
>t. B&N employee
>Bella Mackie
>How to Kill your Family
>is the daughter of Alan Rusbridger
Kekkek. Never change, British publishing
>>How to Kill your Family
lol my sister has this book
>sweating-frog.jpg
hey bro I like you, don't come to Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow
If they read Dorian Gray or The Secret History its alright. The rest is just self-insert romance goyslop or self help trash
>Dorian Gray or The Secret History
Those are also bad.
apparently people buy them just to fill a bookshelf for instatokbook
Roasties who follow Reese Witherspoon on Instagram, who form a Venn diagram that looks like a perfect circle with roasties who LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED Gone Girl.
The tippy top of the bell curve
women, pseuds
(and very occasionally, the cultured intellectual-- not (you))
Women that I would love to marry and impregnate, but would hate me the moment I reveal my true self.
Why do you care? Just shape your reality to your liking you fucking retard
>reeeeee I must be angry and sad
What are you, 13?
Are you a woman perhaps?
niggas will feel superior for not reading that trash and then binge read iseaki lightnovel goyslop
At least lightnovels admits it's a light novel instead of some "profound, deep" shit
>Peterson
People do fall for marketing
I want to write exclusively for this demographic.
really creative
bitches who'll then post on twitter about having read 50+ books this year
If anything that’s an unusual amount of male books. Men don’t get fiction though, it’s just midwit shit like Sapiens or Peterstein. IMPROOOOVE YOUR LIFE! Supercharge your career! SUPPRESS EMOTION and WIN MONEY and BITCHES! UNF*CK YOUR F*CK! It’s a miiiiindseeeeet! Moneymoneymoneymoney!
But I liked Norwegian Wood.
I read the trashy romance up there. I'll usually pick up a new novel for a long flight and have it finished when I land. Anyone that's determined to snub their nose at certain kinds of literature is not someone I tend to like very much. Especially when they don't even read the "high art" they claim to be gate keeping for.
It’s a mystery for me too. I don’t even see the idiot women I know IRL reading this shit. The only person I know that might read books like these is the most brainless NPC I know.
We had a copy of Dorian Gray already at the house, so I have at least read that. If that were the worst thing on the shelf, the world would be a better place, however I cannot understand the tiktok hype behind it. I guess if you compare it to this chick lit shit then yeah it could seem like a masterpiece.
I did also read 12 Rule for Life and that had some solid advice, but again, the fact that it was such a runaway hit just shows how debased everything else is.
younger women
it is literally impossible to find cheap books because every sale is just Colleen Hoover and those pastel colour books about gay romance
"What are you talking about anon? Normal people is peak literary fiction! You just hate it because the author is a woman, incel."
Yeah there’s a lot of crap there but what’s wrong with Murakami/Wilde/JBP?
funny thing, it says "most wanted" but all of them are well stocked, and right next to this shelf there's like a table with a huge pile of them as well.
the "classics" shelf is next to said table and it always becomes half empty after a week of restocking
