Exploration is ill-advised.
I wanna bring up Alexandre Dumas to these people and see if I can explode heads

You are not. I can't imagine reading a fictional novel by someone who isn't a weirdo nerd.

My handwriting is terrible and i don't own a printer, so if I need need to write poo poo down I write a novel around it and send it to a publisher. If you read really bad romance stuff like this:

Jenny sighed and dialed Bob's number 555 1234532. As she waited for him to pick up she let her gaze wander around the kitchen: the apples, the milk, rice and a bottle of shampoo. An old calendar with "Grandma's birthday saturday!!" written in red, hopeful letters, reminding Jenny of better days, days before the ballgag incident...

that's most likely mine

Socially well-adjusted people have no need to escape reality by writing stories about their ideal world where they are god.

Jenny's number is 867-5309

It sounds pretty obvious you don't know Jenny

That list is weird. There's a bunch of stuff like Tom Clancy which is fair, but then you have Lord of the Flies, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and The Bonfire of the Vanities which are well regarded literature by most people?

But yeah most of it sounds like airport books. Like, Lord of the Rings? The hell is that supposed to be?

Sorry pal but everyone in those beloved classic books is just too white, well except for the Indian Chief, maybe he should cameo in every novel
