Girl I like is seriously into Sally Rooney

So even though you know you hate her books, you continue to read them? Even her most recent one? I find that incredibly hard to believe, unless you’re wilfully masochistic and/or retarded.

I freely admit I haven’t read anything by her, but I’m also not pretending I have for the sole purpose of shitting on her books.

Whoever publishes her works and those who invest in said publishing enterprise.

So literally the same way all celebrities are manufactured- by their publicists. In other news water is wet

describing you gf as a "great woman" makes me think u don't have a gf

based retard

Exactly. She's the equivalent of Justin Bieber or whatever. I.e. shit.

T. Seething nobody mad that publishers aren’t blowing steam up his ass

Also:
>bieber analogy
I swear the only people who make this comparison are the ones who have no idea how creative industries work. And they’re almost always autistic nerds who listen to Tool or Dream Theatre.

Maybe you should try telling me why she isn't an equivalent of Justin Bieber instead of pointlessly seething.

>Have you even read her books? Hater
>Why did you read her books if you dislike her!?!?!?
I have a girlfriend who buys all her books

If by “Bieber equivalent” you mean one-of-a-kind entertainer with enough teen sex appeal to make young girls cream in their seats like they did for The Beatles, then no, it’s not a very apt comparison. Whatever you think of him, Bieber is genuinely talented and the amount of listeners he gets cannot be attributed to his publicist alone. There has to be something substantial there in the first place worth marketing.

>There has to be something substantial there in the first place worth marketing.
You’ve got to be kidding.

>I have a girlfriend

What kind of substance do Rooney or Rupi Kaur have?

There’s a reason why he got picked up from a very young age. There’s also a reason why no one wants to publish your tedious 4000 page political space opera. Go figure.

>it’s not a very apt comparison
Learn to read better.

I’m not a writer, idiot.

I saw an interview clip where she says she sees life through a Marxist lens. That was quite enough for me

> So even though you know you hate her books, you continue to read them?
This isn’t the gotcha that you think it is, moron.

I don't think it's supposed to be some gotcha, he's just asking why you would spend dozens of hours reading something you think is terrible.

That’s besides the point lmao no shit you’re not a writer, you’re just a talentless loser attacking successful people out of spite. I can always spot talentless losers because Bieber is the always their prime target. Yet ask anyone even remotely musical and they will acknowledge the guy has real talent, even if his music isn’t for them.

No one gives a fuck about Bieber. You can't honestly argue Rooney is a talented writer.

You and retard are presupposing that that user thought her books were trash before reading them. He never implied that. He simply said that he read her books and determined that both are shit, rightfully so.

Where did I say Rooney was a talented writer? All I did was challenge the comparison to Bieber that YOU made.

Good video.

fuck sally rooney, lauren oyler is the true queen of braindead roastie authors. i went into this shit when it was a meme a couple years ago among instathots with the intention of giving a popular contemporary female author a chance, but my misogyny levels are now at least 30% higher.

He read three of her books to reach the conclusion that she’s a shit writer. If he wasn’t capable of coming to that conclusion after reading only one of her books, then he’s a shit reader who doesn’t learn from his mistakes.

You’re right. You only need to read one book by Mann and the back cover of any Rooney book to know they’re shite

My wife read it for a book circle and thought it was trash, so it's not a universal rule.

Did she get booted from the club for her opinions?

So first he was lying about having read her books (which meant his criticisms weren’t valid) and then, when he said he had actually read them, he became a “shit reader”. Nice bait

A steaming turd on an unfuckable face

His criticism was “it’s shit” which isn’t valid criticism at all, he didn’t bother to elaborate on why her books were bad whatsoever. That’s not criticism, that’s just, like, his opinion, man.

But yes- if he hated her after reading 3 of her books then he is absolutely a bad reader who needs to subject himself to 3 trash novels where one would do. Why are you defending his retardation?

Surprised a limp-wristed faggot like you is strong enough to move the goalposts this much

So what should people do? Read people's work before criticizing them or just stop reading books they think they think they'll dislike in order to avoid becoming shit readers? Sounds like you're just mad because he dislikes Sally Rooney and when your snarky "You haven't even read her" gotcha failed, you did a 180 and started sperging out because he actually read her books

She is fine. Rooney isn't half bad when she is just doing relationship drama and people having sex. The problem is when Rooney tries to get political, to give social commentary, to "say something". Her latest novel had chapters that were just emails between the two protagonists where they talk about "the real world and shit". It was very transparent that these chapters were there just as a vehicle so that Rooney could share her not-at-all unique views on the world.
Regarding your question, Rooney very clearly is ripping off Salinger's style, so maybe this bitch you're after could be into Salinger and other stuff.

No goalpost moving necessary when a retard scores an own goal by subjecting himself to books by an author he already dislikes. Either he’s lying about having read them (and nothing in his post indicates that he has), or he’s dumb enough to waste his own time. Simple as

>he actually read her books
How do you know? He hasn’t said anything to demonstrate that he’s read them, all he did was say they were shit. Do you automatically believe everything you read on the internet? Or is the more likely option that no one on Yea Forums actually reads?

So you're calling him a shit reader without even knowing if he's read the books or not? lmfao retard

are you just pretending to be retarded, or do you seriously not understand what an either/or is?

Your mom wasn't pretending when she sucked my schlong

She's the one who started, but she didn't realize that the others had such shit taste and would only vote for crappy books. But she stopped organizing it.
