10 More Classic Books As Stereotypes of Their Readers

A couple months ago, I did a post describing 10 classic books using stereotypes about their readers. And now, I’m doing a part 2!

Read Part 1 here!

(Obligatory disclaimer for the Internet: this is not a serious post)

Without further ado: here are 10 more classic novels, described in stereotypes of their readers.

College students who read Nietzsche in public places and would smoke a fake cigarette for the aesthetic

The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels

14-year-old Redditors who think everything’s CIA propaganda and simp for Stalin but don’t realize that they literally are part of the bourgeoisie
