The only thing worse than booktok and bookstagram is the sentimental nonsense spread on Facebook. “At least they’re reading!” they all cry out, and inevitably, it’s an anecdote about Harry Potter.
>>25218956What's the sequel??
>>25218956Wow, so wholesome and so brave. Just showed the post in the OP to the VFW hall and everyone cried manly tears. One guy said "we fought the wrong enemy (WWII vet). Everyone agreed. The vibe shift is real. Everyone loves Hitler now.
>>25218956A world where the people on Facebook are all reading finnegans wake would be hell. besides if the average normie started reading lit in earnest, 90% of this board would lose all sense of individuality/superiority and be outpaced within 3 months
Hitler is the Christ of the new millennium

>>25218968my diary desu
>>25218975>Everyone loves Hitler now.So the jews are psyopping that it's OK to come out and say this shit so they can arrest you for being an incel terrorist?
>>25218956ok but what was the actual book in tweet which you've poorly pasted "Mein Kampf" over (the font is a brighter white, higher resolution, and thicker).
chuds are desperate attentionwhy do chuds behave so womanly?
>>25218968"i told you i was right about them" by A Hitler
>>25218956>“At least they’re reading!” they all cry out, and inevitably, it’s an anecdote about Harry Potter.
>>25218956Okay, what was the actual book?
>>25220664Infinite Jest.
>>25220644I hate Harry Potter as much as anyone, but a kid has to start reading somewhere. Does anyone think a kid is going to keep reading, if the first book you make him read is some Russian dysphoria way above his reading level? Opinions like this are stupid.
>>25220644oh man charlie rose whatever happened to him?
>>25221098he got cancelled for creeping on some interns or something, but i think later the interns felt bad cuz he was actually super chill and they were just caught up in metoo hysteria, something like that. he did come out of retirement/cancelment to interview warren buffet in a one-off like a year ago i think?
>>25220670The original tweet is laughable because the clearly fake anecdote uses Harry Potter as the book some little kid stole from a library.
>>25218968It's just called Hitler's Second Book
>>25220644I agree. Better a kid doesnt read and hope they put themself sincerely into something else than to have them reading endless trash. and yeah we all read trash as kids I guess, but the kids where really that becomes their whole identity they are truly lost.
>>25219177unironically true. it took a few hundred years for the controversy around christ to die down and for people to realize he was a savior. the same will happen to adolph, it is already in movement.
>>25220644>it's just slopThere's no fucking way
>>25220670Give them Lemony Snicket, Narnia, the Hobbit, Watership Down, etc. There is no shortage of good children's literature, especially in English.
>>25221619You can't always control what book a kid picks up first. In fact, trying to dictate which book he picks up might turn him off of reading completely. The first few books are extremely precarious.
>>25221596slop has been a word for many years, anon
