reading authors from different viewpoints is a p. good idea and generally makes you a better person but as a goon I'd prefer to only read books by fellow sci-fi

Before I read a book I google check the author to see if they're black enough

half of the people that are sincerely reading that article probably haven't read a book since they reread Harry Potter again When ladies write a fantasy book its always really weird. Like I can't remember the name but one of them started out really cool and then somehow the protagonist had to become super fat and use fat themed magic

Every time a woman recommends a book to me it has some weird, out-of-place sexual stuff in it.

Bug Bill Murray posted:http://www.xojane.com/entertainment/reading-challenge-stop-reading-white-straight-cis-male-authors-for-one-year Is Umberto Eco gay? If not, she seems to be saying that he qualifies just because he doesn't write in English.

OP COUNTER-CHALLENGE: I dare you to read what you want regardless of who wrote it. See, if you can, if you enjoy a thing you read without having to make it about race or sex like you probably make everything because that's way more problematic than just accepting a thing or person for what it is.

I read a book about how osmeone read a bunch of pretentious literature for a lifetime and then he died. Like, the books didn't even matter, because he died. Fuckin laffo. Just read cool poo poo because you're going to die anyway and trying to enlighten yourself with novels isn't going to matter. They're just TV in word form anyway. This isn't loving lotus sutra or anything.
