The Great Books of the 20th Century
Over at The Morning News they've done us a great service in exposing the secret truth behind the great literature of our age. It's all stupid and for nerds who like "books" and a bunch of philosophical crap. Yes philomosophical literaturings, they are for poop.
For example Lolita, which is stupid, because Nabokov wrote for nerds who know big words.

Lolita (1955)So there you are. Don't read books, they are hard. With big words. And knowing how to read in other languages is the sign of the idiot.
Author: Vladimir Nabokov
“1) I’m bored. 2) He uses too many allusions to other novels, so that if you’re not well read, this book makes no sense. 3) Most American readers are not fluent in French, so to have conversations or interjections in French with no translation is plain dumb. 4) Did I mention I was bored? 5) As with another reviewer, I agree, he uses a lot of huge words that just slow a person down. And it’s not for theatrics either, it’s just huge words mid-sentence when describing something simple. Nothing in the sense of imagery is gained. 6) Also, to sum it up, it’s a story about a pedophile.”
