There’s a pretty funny Hipster’s What Should I Read Next? Flowchart up at Goodreads.com, a social networking site for readers that I don’t usually frequent because I’m too much of a hipster. I think whoever created this (a person identified as “Patrick”) mostly nails this assignment, and I especially like the way he totally overemphasizes David Foster Wallace and knows that we already read Alison Bechdel. Not surprisingly, this chart touches upon several writers we either love or hate here on Litkicks, like Marcel Proust, Roberto Bolano, Salman Rushdie, Chuck Palahniuk, Sheila Heti, Hubert Selby, Jr., Colson Whitehead and of course David Foster Wallace. How the hell this article forgot to include Junot Diaz and Margaret Atwood is beyond me.
