Top 5 Pretentious Novels for Pseudo-Intellectuals

In this video I discuss five novels that are some of the most pretentious pseudo-intellectual shite I've ever had the misfortune to read. If there is ever going to be a video that'll upset people and wind up getting me hunted down by angry book nerds. It's this one... But what the hell, may as well say what I really think.

For those new subscribers here because of the D&D OGL scandal caused by Wizards Of The Coast, I don't want to flog a dead horse, but WOTC are liars as shown in these two videos here:

They covered it better than I could. So I'll let them explain it, as I'd only be milking the Dungeons & Dragons and TTRPG community to make another video.

This video goes in depth into the awful pretentious gatekeeper nonsense that is literary fiction, and slaughters a few sacred cows in the process.
