It needs more Hemingway, Clancy, Chrichton, and that's just a cursory glance

there's a lot of elaborately performative masculinity to go around, they each got a book and gotta give other authors their shot

yeah a la recherche du temps perdu has a pretty low readability to totally probably impressing people when they spot it on your bookshelf ratio, you gotta go for things that people are gonna recognize enough to know how smart you are

what's the point of this list?

'ha ha feel bad about yourself'?

maybe it's more light hearted in intention, but observations like this that don't really say anything are all over the place. like 'we've got you figured out you like
these books, right? idiots.'

this self-loathing stuff is stupid. i see the list was written by the woman but it's usually a bunch of white men who share this kind of thing, trying to ascend their awareness by scoffing at other white men.

most people don't even own or read books anyway.

whhat do u find most insulting about this list op

Q: Why did the white man cross the road

A: That's not funny, there's no joke, why are white liberals always so guilty and self-flagellating, my black friend crossed a road once why this gotta be a 'white' thing, you're just looking for attention
