/lit/ - Literature

Can anyone else not get into reading fiction? The authors are either telling me shit I don't care about and has no relevance to my life (history), or shit I either already know or is just made up fanfiction for how the author thinks the world works (philosophy).

I read the Bible and now I feel like reading anything else is pointless. What can Aquinas tell me that isn't already in the Bible?

is this the final pill /lit/ have I beaten reading or am I going insane

Brothers, why do you see fascism as the way and not a milder form of ethnonationalism? Why do we need to have total control?

My 'utopia' would have a constitution establishing our state as explicitly WHITE yet I see no reason not to have a diverstiy of political opinion within this boundary.

>read 20 pages in an hour but it was Plato so I am pic related

Given that Christianity and other major religion is just watered down Plato, Platinus, and Socrates for plebs who were not able to study philosophy as vigorously in the ancient world could we actually see the death of major religion now? Everyone has easy access to something far better, the modern man can study and have easy access to better teachings which are more abstract and don't promote dogmatic teachings to kill and divide over.

Where did god (lowercase deliberate) come from?

>with a cracked screen and has to constantly zoom and swipe per line and page over a scanned pdf

>tfw too smart for college

Does anybody else here know this feel?

Sometimes I just feel like I'm on a higher plane of sentience than my peers and the teachers. It really drains me out.

To quote Pessoa, “between me and a farmer from Loures there is undoubtedly a greater distance than between the farmer and, I won’t say a monkey, but a cat or dog.”

>quote is from a character in the book

Anyone else try getting their family to read? I hate seeing my parents brains turn to mush because they don't do shit to stimulate their minds. My dad literally hasn't read a book in 30 years and my mom reads YA shit. I gifted my dad the great gatsby since it's short at christmas and he said he hasn't gotten around to reading it.

>Tfw a picture is worth a thousand words
>the average novel is about 120,000 words (a liberal estimate)
>tfw my PC runs games at 60 fps
That'sThat's he equivalent of reading 60,000 words a second, or one novel every two
>I have 8,000+ hours played in DOTA2
>30 books a minute times 60 minutes an hour times 8000 hours is equal to 14,400,000 books read
>tfw you people need to read over 14 million books just to get on my level (this doesn't even count the time I've spent playing CS GO, TF2, borderlands, LoL, WoW, and Gary's mod)
>mfw brainlets still defend literature as an artform

Smart people are more depressed, smart people are in literature.
