Infinite jest is a bad book. No, I will not read your fking calculus page alongside the other 1000+ pages of nonsense. The idea of assigning it even to mensa kids is exactly why Mensa has such a poor reputation. Mensa famously has the reputation of its members being extremely autistic. Books like this all but guarantee it if they are read by young, impressionable minds.
Ulysses is only good because Joyce was a coomer.
Candide is actually good and more people need to read it.
The others you listed are post modern neo Marxism or drug abusers which will teach your kids to hate your teacher and the whole idea of education. Why not just throw on “pedagogy of the oppressed” to put the final nail into the coffin of your kid giving a fk about what your teacher teaches (“sorry, I’m not doing your homework you colonizer shitlord, I refuse to participate in the banking model of education”.
- throwawaylsp 2y agoYou say "post modern neo marxist drug abuser" like it's a bad thing...
- spacecadet 2y agoClearly hasn't lived it.
- BillyTheMage 2y agoPedagogy of the Oppressed would unironically be a better suggestion than half the books on the list.
