I’m in my 30’s and fucking a girl who works at Rita’s water ice

Got 40 mins left in the audiobook. What next? How bad is Children of Dune, really?

How often do you guys replace books? Personally I try for every couple years though usually once a year for the bigger gluebound Everyman’s Library’s

In heaven I will meet Sir Philip Sidney
And other heroes of that kidney

The turn this site took to end up at a straight faced unironical “won’t somebody think of the children!” was something I didn’t see coming but here we are. It makes it even more comical that many anons can’t even fathom being in a realistic position where they could have kids anyway

Can we stop pretending /lit/ is a literature board? Most threads have little to do with literature

I hate Brief Interviews because I know a person irl that also used their amputated arm as a way to guilt women into having sex with him. I also slept with a friend after she came to me to talk about a nasty breakup and I still believe that's the reason we sort of drifted apart afterward.

I can't read that shit. It called me out too many times and I couldn't stop cringing.

Why should I bother reading books when reading manga and watching anime gives me much deeper stories without being boring? Why should I have to read some pretentious, description of a beautiful sky with big complex words when they can just show it to me as an image?

It just doesn't make sense. Books have been surpassed.
