I can hardly stand reading multiple works by the same author. They tend to repeat the same style that achieved them success and maybe change the format sometimes to keep it fresh. Many of them hold the same ideas too.

If your judgment of that is because you dont recognize Ao Jyumoni, they wrote Grimgar. It's just an LN series I really like that does character emotion better than I can.

Absolutely. Stay blessed my friend

Listens to Sabaton unironically (may at one point have tried to defend this by calling it """history""" metal), wears combat boots, if not clinically autistic has an above average asperger's quotient, likely had a period (perhaps still ongoing) where he didn't think black metal was cringe.

Very wrong I'm afraid. I think metal and Sabaton specifically are really cringe and I don't own combat boots. I was diagnosed with ASD a few years ago because my wife and mum said they think I had some kind of autism.

I did search for Ao.
I judge you as Asian because LN are quite not very accessable somewhere else and it have to be translated. It's hard to appreciate it if it's in a different language. The jokes, the references have to be given a footnote.

But that's it

>>22018423
Not sure how but somehow the theme just points to "civil servant". It may not be flattering to be conclude as a CivServ but think about it, that means you integrate to society well, despite its nonsense.

>>22018413
Dislike being centre of attention. Still lift just not as crazy as my 18-24 gymcel days. Is there anyone who doesn't like to have fun? Born 1995 so right on the cusp of millennial. Not Jewish lol, pure Anglo.

>>22017574
>>22016589
Go to your local bookstore and go to the classic section. How many books of Dostoyevsky are there? Are there any other author there who wrote more than 3 books catalogued in the classics section?

>>22018446
>Dislike being centre of attention.
Well, I made mistakes.
>Still lift just not as crazy as my 18-24 gymcel days. Is there anyone who doesn't like to have fun?
Trust me, I know people who don't like to have fun. I understand that you may be a gym guy because you're not afraid to say your opinion, I'm not being stereotypical but, people who have a tough body reflects their determined mind (from their commitment of going to the gym, lifting heavy things!), they're mostly not afraid of judgement in things they say and do.
>Born 1995 so right on the cusp of millennial.

Wankfest on "mysterious russian soul", when in reality there is nothing mysterious about it (its just an inhuman shit).

Profession is right, and I do kinda like the aesthetics of the 40's, but not as much as earlier periods (fin-de-siecle is the best).
My childhood home was right next to an old 1890's sanatorium that has been turned into an art museum (smaller version of same style as pic related), with huge open grounds and beech forests right next to a lake. I spent most of the springs and summers of my adolescent years reading in those grounds, and I still visit and read there whenever I am visiting my parents in the summer.
It really is a vibe. Hamsun also tried out the sanatorium-novel in one of his lesser known works, "The Last Chapter". And he beat Mann to it as well, who published the Magic Mountain a year after.

>>22018029
Not homosexual, never had any experiences of that sort either, but I absolutely am a sodomite, and find my girlfriend's butthole mindblowingly erotic, and often play with it.
And I do absolutely consider myself artsy for it, knowing I share the fascination with such luminous minds as Joyce and Mozart, so that basically means I am a genius as well

You are the kind of person who includes Virginia Woolf among your favorite authors because you think it poor taste to have 5 men as your favorites, and some part of you probably believes that putting Woolf in there could conceivably aid you in getting pussy in some nebulous way at some point in the future, although you will deny this when asked directly, as you believe it is essential for the strategy to work that it is not identified as the strategy it is.

>>22019315
I suppose you think the same of Harold Bloom?

Couperus
Kafka
Tolstoy
Nakokov
K.Dick

>>22019302
I figured you'd an academic because your choice is unbiased (not sure how to say this) like, the unifying theme of your book choices are more based from the writer's prose which have a trend of being correct, "good" writing that's not shocking or controversial. People who's not interested to be in academia don't bother about those, but bother more about the philosophical part of a book.

That's my guess. Nice to meet you.

>>22021975
I think you're part Asian. You're curious about the history of your ancestors. You like strange things. Curiosity is what drive you to read. You sound like a loner desu

I think you're European. You read for fun and experimental when reading a book.

You're a deep person, I think. You care less about what people have to say. You like to have fun.

You like sunny days and the color white. You study English Literature?

>>22021990

>>22022001
You can't move on from the past. I think you're a boomer. You probably like medieval architecture. You are a realist.

>>22022011
I do let the past dominate my free thinking, or at least I used to. Not a boomer. I DO like medievfal architecture and I don't konw what "ist" I'd consider myself.

Wtf how did anons guess so accurately about me

>>22022003
>I look like a Nazi propaganda character.
Haha!
>Why did you think I might be asian?
The first book. One of the work of the author, is about the dutch colony on the island of Java. People who usually have interest in this, of course, is people who live on that Island. So, I conclude you may be of Asian descent or have in touch with Asian family. But, alas, I made a mistake, sorry!

>>22022009
Ah I see. You're technically studying literature by just reading it, even if you left school.

Reading the book is the essence of literature studies in academia. But anyways, nice to meet you.

>>22022019
Most of his books are situated in The Netherlands! But good guess on the rest though.

>>22022013
Shit, I should have said millenials, not boomer. My mistake. Pardon me.

>I do let the past dominate my free thinking, or at least I used to.
For "ist" if you care, I would say you're a realist, as I mentioned before. See, you understand how it can be fruitless to stay in the past. That's a trait of a realist. If you care. Anyways, nice to meet you.

Surprised you don't have Togashi on there too.

>>22022917
Depending on how much you enjoyed LOTR I'd recommend The Silmarillion. Be warned that it is less a novel and more a chronicle of cosmology and mythological history. It reads more like The Bible in some passages and Herodotus' Histories in others.

>>22023823
togashi would be up there but alluka is in hxh and daddy leorio isn't. For that sole reason hes a bum who should be beaten in the street like a dog

the only authors that ive read in-depth are dostoyevsky and tolstoy. I have consistently enjoyed Melville too, so i guess id throw him in there too ,but thats after just reading moby dick and billy bud and some of the piazza tales

am i weird for not wanting to claim a "favorite author" as someone ive only read one book from? even if its an all time favorite book? i dont know, it just seems odd to me, like i absolutely love some books written by some people but i dont feel a specific connection to the author and haven't really explored their work in depth , so it feels wrong to say they're my favorite even though they produced one of my favorite works

maybe im just being autistic though

You're easy-going, analytical, you are a no-nonsense type.

History fanatic boomer or right-wing zoomer. In between you got a conservative millenial (in America).

Livius, huh? Interesting.

You don't give a shit what people say.

You're new in /lit/ or you just simply can't bring yourself to read. Either way, I wish you the best, amigo

You Mediterranean?

>>22020084
You're Russian

>>22022966
You're a bit on the religious side but can't fathom on why people do stupid things

You're a rational person. A little paranoid but mostly pleasant and speak in clear syllables.

It's okay, I accept Pausch.

You're perhaps a woman.
