/lit/ - Literature

And so the dick measuring contest begins.

Your attention span has been fucked by the other media you're consuming. Sitting down and reading a book has none of the instant gratification you've become accustomed to from movies, comics, the internet, and video-games.

Maybe you'll get into reading again. Probably with easy books that are stimulating and make you turn the pages, but not intellectually stimulating. The Hunger Games, Harry Potter... you'll read them and have conversations with your co-workers about them. Though you'll maintain that smugness you acquired in high-school.

"I still have better taste than them," you'll think whilst reading the latest written-at-a-fifth-grade-reading-level-for-adults novel. Enjoying it and scoffing at it in equal measure, but being unable to justify either.

Maybe you'll find a girl and end up going out with her. You don't really like her that much, she's not as smart as you, but you're 'settling', so what does that really matter? But you end up marrying her and having kids together. Slightly above average in looks and intelligence. As the years go by both you and your wife may cheat once or twice. Bored by each other.
