HARRY POTTER
TWILIGHT
YOUNG ADULT FICTION
now kill yourself

you're a manipulated cattle beast with very little hope of salvation

No, read Seneca instead

...

no u

Real shit, read some more salinger. A lot of his stuff follows similar characters.

any recommendations of what I should read from him?

he actually liked it kek

pleb filtered

He's a kid probably if he can relate, are you saying you didn't like that shit when you were 15?

As dumb of a 15 year old as I was, I was smart enough not to like it, correct.

This Side of Paradise, by Fitzgerald. It had the same effect on me. Then you can read Sentimental Education, by Flaubert. It's better to read Coming of Age novels then YA shit. In no time you'll be into deeper stuff. Keep it up.

You don't have a sincere bone in your body. This book is screaming at you

Then read everything he wrote, it's not like he published much. Nine Stories, Fanny and Zooey, and Rise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters/Seymour: An Introduction.

Absolute brainlets

There's a lot of stuff like this (and imo much better done) in Japanese literature. But well, you have to learn Japanese.

the japs are gay

A Clockwork Orange

What did you think of the part where Holden raped Phoebe?
Also don't listen to the midwits, Catcher is famously a 'bell curve' book where brainlets love it, midwits hate it, and patricians love it.

Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters is similar to Catcher in that it also has first person narration. It's really good, if you liked The Catcher in the Rye you'll probably enjoy it.

Which books would you recommend, user?

>Also don't listen to the midwits, Catcher is famously a 'bell curve' book where brainlets love it, midwits hate it, and patricians love it.
absolutely true, no memes

Try Journey to the end of the night,

literally about a man who travels the world (literally to africa and back, new york, europe) and manages to find a reason to bitch about every person he meets.

Brainlets hate it though

A good day for banana fish or something like that is one of Salinger’s best short stories IMO

>banana fish
good anime

Vernon God Little by DBC Pierre

Franny and Zooey

The Bell Jar is just as good YA

best answers: Demian, Franny and Zooey, The Reivers

options: Sorrows of Young Werther, Stoner, Crime and Punishment, Rules of Attraction

joke answer, but also good: Book of Disquiet
