Actually can’t think of the word, but if someone likes this book you either assume they have some flaw or are a great human like you.
I’m kinda joking but what I mean is for me if someone starts going on about their love for Infinite Jest or Franzen’s Freedom or Saunders Shorts and I definitely won’t trust their tastes in books, maybe in life.
Meanwhile if you like Borges’ Ficciones or Ngugis Wizard of the Crow or Hillary Mantel’s Wolf Hall, I’m gonna be impressed.
Wife tells me if she meets a man who hasnt read Jane Austen, she assumes sexism is at play.
What books would you pick?

If we’re just talking fiction, then *Atlas Shrugged* has been the most reliable red flag, not even a contest.
Anyone who insists that Jordan B. Peterson’s garbage is not garbage.
