/lit/ - Literature

this is embarassing.

people hate what they can't grasp -- hence /lit/heads shitting on STEM, hence STEMfags shitting on /lit/.

it's fine if you don't like literature... but why, then, did you take your time to come here and give us some half-brained apologia? it's because you and literature don't get along, and it couldn't possibly be you that's stupid, right? not you, the thousands of years of high-culture are wrong.

only people who are literate can understand the value of literacy -- but hey, OP, at least you have that 'ignorance is bliss' thing going for you kek

ITT we discuss Billy Budd, Foretopman and talk about why it makes us cry every time we read it.

>fathoms down, fathoms down, how I'll dream fast asleep.

Also we can talk about other books that make us cry, like Les Miserables.
