ITT: Books people pretend to like to seem smart

Anything by Dostoevsky

t. either a retard or a illiterate
OP was asking for books people PRETEND to like, the ones you've listed are genuinely liked mostly by brainlets

after multiple reads they are actually enjoyable

This.

Can't say I enjoyed the whole of JR, but there were certain parts that were really funny, and the dialogue sometimes clicks to be just perfect. Also the three losers at the centre of the story are great characters.
But it was a slog to finish.

its stale and trying a little too hard

I can believe that people like parts of the bible, but no one intensely studies the whole fucking thing.

>entire book about lampooning pseuds and breaking free of the crushing responsibility of artistic genius, as well as the shattering of symbolic religious illusions

stale? bah. i bet you didn't even realize that his aunt was the one who compelled him to become a forger unintentionally.

no that guy, but please elaborate on this

It is getting harder and harder for me to distinguish between a sex doll made by a factory and one made by society, and it is not because the sex dolls are getting better.

well, there's a part when wyatt shows his burgeoning talent in art with the dead bird, (details are fuzzy desu, planning on reading again), and his aunt chastises him without any real consideration, but as you read through the rest of the work you come to realize that much of what is occurring later on has its foundations charted distinctly in the bildungsroman section of wyatt. basically, she told him something like "don't copy god's work" or "don't try to do god's work for him". anyway, it's hazy, the end result is him delving into forgery to not abandon those early axioms and religious mechanisms built by his aunt.
