Post /lit/ quotes that you consider to be ironic.
>>24726451Conan Doyle is also remembered for an adventure book about dinosaurs or something.Anyway I use picrel quote every time I discuss Jane Austen with somebody.
>>24727402This quote legitimately made me hate Mark Twain. He really is the stereotypical American in all the bad ways. It's a total farce that he's the one who carried the banner of American letters abroad, while Hawthorne and Melville languished in obscurity until the 20th Century.
>>24727440You are right where you belong.
>>24727402Based>>24727419Cringe
>>24727419As opposed to a stereotypical person of another nation huh?
>>24727419Twain made it American, Hawthorne and Melville kept things old world, wrote in their style using their ideas and mostly reduced America to plot.
>>24727419Twain was a humorist
>>24727402What most everyone misses about this quote is the "every time," if Twain hated Pride and Prejudice as much as some think there would be no "every time." His anger towards Austen where far more nuanced and not so 4chan.
>>24726451The fifth line of the last stanza.
>>24726451Last line.
>>24727703>Adler -- SpeedboatIncredible book, happy to see it get some love on /lit/
>>24726451>>24727402Doyle was right thoughHis historical fiction is far better than his holmes stories.
