me having 82% overlap 😭 i fear i am a literature bro 😭
Same tho. I love Cormac McCarthy and Brett Easton Ellis unironically lol, and the little bit of Palahniuk I’ve read I liked too!
i like mccarthy and palahniuk too!! i am currently reading stephen king on the recommendation of, with all the love in my heart, a friend bro. unsure which is the best representation of his work for this list.
I was just thinking about this….. 🤔 Moski says the long walk and I think she’s right!
as someone who loves the long walk!!!! but it’s become a bro book fs
No it’s def on my TBR it looks great tbh!
ive never heard of it and tbh i dont know almost anything about stephen king books so i trust this choice
LMAOOO it’s real now!!! (i was present when the idea struck btw so i’m kinda famous now)
I couldn’t have achieved this great success without you.
LMAOOOO FRAT BROS IN A NUTSHELL
Noooooooo the catcher in the rye inclusion 😭😭😭
I love Catcher in the Rye and many books on this list, so this is absolutely no shade to anyone!!
And ur so right about all of them. Don't forget to add some Dan Brown
On it 🫡🫡
Dungeon Crawler Carl! I say that as someone who loves it. (The first one is the most bro-y. Part of his character growth is realizing that he needs to fight the system. That's holding everybody down. But they are definitely dudes who do not see that.)
Definitely adding it and I definitely am going to read it soon I hope 😅
eat prey love!!?? eat PREY love!!! eat prey love 😍 i love nothing more than this word play
Tbh I did this totally unintentionally and now I’m keeping it!!! 🤣
you must keep it, it is absolutely stunning i am so deeply tickled. your subconscious served you well.
It sure did!! 😂🙏🫶🏼
God this is 100% accurate!! The way this was my self-imposed high school reading curriculum......... absolutely brutal
I love that David Goggins is the first book on this list it is very fitting 😂
My friend Rob at the bookstore helped me so much with this list and he’s like “yeah gotta add David Goggins”. 😂
the allegory of the cave!!!! this list is amazing 💀
