I will admit to having only read the first one so far, but I completely fail to see what is pretentious about it.

Anything by Tolstoy.

Anything else women consider "philosophy".

Atlas Shrugged

I second Ayn Rand.

A Clockwork Orange. Nothing wrong with the book, matter of fact it's amazing, but it just has that effect so that when you read it, you grow a massive ego.

Anything by Franz Kafka. His work has the exact same effect.

Ah, so that would be a book that makes people pretentious.
I think this is trap some readers fall into; ethier because they haven't read many books, and feel like they've accomplished the impossible, or because they've read enough to have their own taste and think theirs is better than everyone elses.

A Clockwork Orange is so tiny. You'd have to be a total faggot to think it was an accomplishment to read. Come back when you're done with Gravity's Rainbow, amirite?

I loved atlas shrugged and fountainhead but the only thing more preachy and pretentious than those books is the bible.

they are certainly for casuals but they are by no means bad or pretentious

the bible owns, fucknut

whether or not it owns is debatable doesn't make it less pretentious.

It's not pretentious at all. The new testament is a laugh riot.
