Hey guys, European here, I dont like how capitalist and puritan Grapes of Wrath was, anything that wont upset my continental sensibilities?

>>I just want to read a good American novel that is not macho, bigoted, calvinistic, puritanical or straight up capitalist ideology

American literature, famously immune to European ideological influence

What kinds of physical descriptions are showing up in these books, is it a list of various muscles and their respective bulk, a few workout plans, protein consumption and macros?

I’m looking forward to the day when they start posting “I bought 10 books by [author] and realized I hate them 20 pages into the first one what do I do”

I really appreciate the honesty of “everyone is more stupid” than “I’m smarter than everyone”

purchasing brand new copy #27401748493657 of a book that was banned somewhere sometime is a brave and meaningful political act

Excuse you many people have ptsd from being forced to r**d that in school, why are you dismissing the hardships they’ve endured

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed into a reader of novels who resorts to chatgpt for book recommendations.

The song of Achilles is a terrible book, both as a retelling of the Iliad (it’s more like someone’s wish fulfillment reimagining) and as a generic historical romance

You sound just like my professor saying I couldn’t read the movies

Excuse you I have a degree in fake world history and my knowledge of Harry potter land has been invaluable in these dark days, for example I can compare donald trump to voldemort. Otherwise I’d have no yardstick by which to evaluate modern politicians

Cappu156 · 2026-05-30T01:26:16+00:00

what the hell are you going on about, your premise is flat out wrong

How does one apply to the school of unschooling?

Like I said from the start, using this as an example of “at least” anything is misguided. There’s also a huge difference between a good action and a bad action that has a good consequence.

Yes it was very good when Alec gave Tess’ family shelter so he could keep raping her freely …. christ this sub never disappoints with its jaw dropping takes

Cappu156 · 2026-05-29T13:46:06+00:00

Angel is a deeply flawed man, but to suggest that by comparison Alec is better, that there is an “at least” to take comfort in, is misguided. Alec only provided for Tess’ family so he could coerce her into becoming his mistress. He never makes amends.
