/lit/ - Literature

I used to love reading back when I was in my 20's-30's, but other avid readers have ruined it for me, so my question is, Why are litfags so anal about books?

This is why nobody reads anymore, because avid reader nowadays are all stuck up losers who smell their own farts.

It's like you can't say you enjoyed a certain book if it isn't on the same tier of Ulysses or something.

I use to kill a mockingbirk as a coaster.

In no other medium do you have people jerking themselves off over the fact that they consumed some super unapproachable piece of fiction as you'd find with bookfags.

"I just watched a movie yesterday that's shot entirely in black and red, has no dialogue and is played in reverse, get on my intellectual level, plebian."

Fuck off.

"Ohh, Ohh, I read a 2000 page book over the weekend and I read it in its original language of Russian, so I wouldn't lose any of the subtleties in translation, I didn't have a clue what I was reading as I don't know Russian, but as I have perceived it was all an effective allegory for the oppressive nature of communism, as well as a commentary on gender. Get on my level, plebian."

Fuck off Paperfag, I like Skulduggery Pleasent.
