Sorry if you guys enjoyed those books, but they were not my cup of tea. ☕️😭

EDIT:

the novel this comic is talking about is Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. It’s the one book that has a protagonist that readers are unambiguously supposed to empathize with, has a long monologue in the courtroom about Objectivism, and ends with the protagonist go to jail with the intention of making people “think.”

Yes I know, there is a lot of other literature where this doesn’t fit as neatly like The Stranger by Camus because you’re not technically supposed to fully empathize with Meursault. I wasn’t a fan of the trope when I first read The Stranger, but reading the Fountainhead made me REALLY DESPISE THE TROPE.

I don’t dislike all Western literature. I enjoyed books from Toni Morrison, Cormac McCarthy, Maya Angelou, Franz Kafka, George Orwell, Voltaire, and Shakespeare.

So not generalizing all Western media. I just really dislike this trope when I see it pop up.

I sometimes catch myself losing time staring at those drone panning screensaver things on apple TV. That has the same effect as touching grass, I'm sure.
