Post interesting and obscure books you learned about from /lit/.

Also on a related note I came up with something called /lit/‘s law. That being that, if a book exists that is worth reading, it has almost definitely already been mentioned by someone on /lit/ at some point.

I definitely contributed the McAllister book in the last thread on Gillespie. Glad others find it interesting. Pic related seems very related regarding modernity and science.

is it good?

I just came across it yesterday via another thread so I haven’t read it. But based upon description/reviews/other articles by author seems like it’s in the same ballroom as the wider and growing contemporary anti-modernity literature.

The Collector by John Fowles

It's about a guy who kidnaps a girl and keeps her in his basement. It has *inspired* several real life murders over the years

Fun fact: the original British edition of this is titled The Rape of Man and Nature
>>
>>24851049
Yeah that’s the version I originally saw on here. I chose this edition to download off of Anna’s since it had text that was easier to read in comparison to the ones which were titled with rape.

is it a how to?

>>24851258
Not really. The main character did put a lot of effort into the whole thing, and it's described thoroughly, but it's just not realistic for the average psycho. The people who took after the book didn't bother to replicate it - they just used it as a cheap justification

That's quite a bold claim. There are a lot of books out there.

I'm greatly enjoying it, it references and was inspired by OP's book as well.
