>omg I love literature too anon. Clarice Lispector, Virginia Woolf, Donna Tart, Anais Nin, Sylvia Plath, Sally Rooney, the list goes on.

How do you respond to such a foid?

Not bad, except Sylvia Plath and Sally Rooney.

Lispector is great, even brilliant. Haven't read the rest, I just can't get over Woolf's dogshit take on Ulysses.

I read the Jack Reacher and Harry Bosch novels. You should try them out. They're good crime mysteries and the protagonists are really smart.

As soon as the "discourse" brings back topics like women having bushes, follower-mentality types like you start parroting shit like this. Think for yourself for once.
>>25423311
This is the only acceptable response.

>>25423219
It wasn't even a review, it was a note in her diary that she then later contradicted, saying she read more of Ulysses and appreciated it much more.

something about the name 'Clarice Lispector' is really viscerally unpleasant to me
>>
>>25422964
Shes very cute. That combined with the fact that she has an interest in literature, regardless of whether or not I like her taste, makes her wife mateiral.
>>
>>25422995
I'm reading the Jeeves short stories now. It's very Agatha Christie-like. My brain keeps waiting for a murder to happen. It's so weird. Now I wonder if Poirot novels have ruined all of the other british novels to me too.
>>
>>25423331
I'll bend you over too.

Lispector is a great writer. Her works are hardly pleasant to go through, but that's the best part of it. Her writing style and her themes make Clarice's books feel like literary femdom. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about the shit you see on TikTok and Twitter. It's no "goth dommy mummy" or "gentle femdom" nonsense. Her books read like she's outright abusing you with a bored, scornful expression, and you're letting her do it because she's hot. Clarice gives you a very rough, unpleasant handjob, hurtfully hitting your scrotum when she strokes down, and when you complain about it she just acts annoyed and says "Do you want to get up and leave? No? Then stop being crybaby." before proceeding to verbally abuse you as she continues. She doesn't care about you enjoyment. In fact, she feels great when you squirm. She'll tell the story she wants and do it at her own pace, and at the end of it she'll make you thank her for it. Reading a book by Lispector feels like eating a meal that has just been spat on. I love her.

But answering your question, I'd ask her if she likes Sigrid Undset.

Yes. I refuse to care that arthoes namedrop her now. She's still good irrespective of all that.

One of the first reviews she got referred to her as a "writer of unpleasant name, certainly a pseudonym". She recalled this story at least a couple of times and has no idea of where her name came from either. She hyptothesised that it must've originally been a completely different, far more Slavic surname that progressively lost letters and syllabes until it became what it did.

Lisp inspector or lip section comes to mind

This.

I would listen, because that’s what no one else did (unironically)
>>
>>25422964
First, extremely extremely cute, would set my heart a-flutter. Second, I also love those writers except Tartt but that's because I've never read Tartt. I would probably respond by saying "wow me too" or something similar and then I wouldn't know what to say next because she's so damn cute.

>dogshit take on Ulysses
Criticizing that garbage is the only correct response.
>>
>>25422964
I would tell her about the books I like and then suggest we swap our favourites.
I don't like Anais Nin and I haven't read Sally Rooney but the rest are pretty good.
>>
>>25422964
How do you know if a girl is flirting with you versus talking?
The books my sister reads are self-help, short stories, and anything with rape/abduction/unrequited love. Your statement seems unlikely for the average girl.

Great, I’ll just read all those and then get a gf. Where do I begin?

>>25425791
You'll probably want to kill yourself not long after getting started so start by picking the method that you prefer and having it on standby. If you want to increase your chances of making it all the way through safe Sylvia Plath for last.
>>
I can make peace with the feminist bs, dressing like she’s going to get a chick drunk and forcibly scissor them I cannot overlook though
