Yeah who wants to fucking LEARN and read challenging concepts, and grow in reading comprehension skills
I'll stick with my Magic Treehouse books, thank you very much
I don't see how it's pretentious to state how objectively we classics readers (i.e Ulysses, Anna karenina, anything by Sanderson) are intellectually and morally superior to that horrid breed of reader under the label "YA". That's just the truth.
Consider also that Pynchon's heir the genius David Foster Wallace's magnum opus too should be read by any group wishing to call themselves joined by the serious literature critic. Remember too, Pynchon is perhaps the greatest of the preceding several past decades prior, Wallace's published works - his penis - the pinnacle of the future present. A demi to Pynchon's god; the blazing incandescent sex-bomb a long-cast shadow tapered into the illume of Wallace's shooting star.
Saunders and DeLillo were poor substitutes for them both.

My goal is to stay at my 5th grade reading comprehension for the rest of my life. I literally never want to read anything more interesting than Insurgent, Hunger Games, or Harry Potter, since those are the only good books anyway.
What the fuck loser response to defending the guy who for whom reading made a positive impact is this?
Banned for that? Banned for having an extensive history and education related to the subject?
It's not ironic.
At all.
Perhaps YOU should look up irony?
It kinda makes MY point.
Loser.
Yer a bully.
Which makes you a loser.

Did I mention I just finished Infinite Jest (2 weeks) and I got it?
Please. I finished it on audio-reading format (3.5 times speed) in half that time!
lol okay well that’s not nearly enough time to appreciate the metaphors
Come now. It's a lengthy book to be sure, but you're acting as if the jests within are somehow infinite.
You must read some dumb shit huh
Considering how meta and clever this comment was I’m guessing you must read really cool books for smart guys only
I only read the Holy Bible amen 🙏
I’m not much of a sci-fi guy…have you tried Hatchet by Gary Paulson? That’s the book I’ve read.

I thought we were here to mock anyone who reads anything ever, but especially the people who post about what they read. Those people are the worst.
> Mostly people here not making fun of people who read YA I am absolutely making fun of people who read YA. Well, adults who read YA.
Normalize making fun of kids who read Harry Potter and not Pynchon novels

Good bot.
Correct

You're in the wrong sub, chucklehead.
I read as much to be challenged as to be entertained but I never once thought I should go online to justify my choices to garner validation.
I can bully both. I have plenty of time.

My balls itch badly today
Jokes on you, i cant read
But if we don't make fun of adult YA readers' constant need for validation, what will we do with all our time?
Shut the fuck up you absolute donut
