/lit/ - Literature

>>12229725
I read daily, sometimes two or three books and a couple science articles or journals.

I just don't see any need anymore to attempt to validate my taste in books or my perspectives. For the longest time I came to /b/ to shitpost and /lit/ to learn. Eventually I became engrossed in trying to convince /b/tards I'm not a newfag and /lit/fags I'm well-read and moderately intelligent.

Took a while to realize even if any of you anons actually, honestly gave a fuck what another anon reads, there's 4-5 other anons shitposting maymays, pop culture references, or 2smrt4u posturing.

Except for odd posts like this, it came down to lurk or leave.

>Tried plebbit for a bit, and while the community is more active in a pursuit of camaraderie, on average, the groupthink is unbelievable and the atmosphere screams of mediocrity and cynical 20-somethings who don't have a grip on their life but are more or less average.

And as far as I've found...
>Nearly every online community ends up like 4chan.
Idk about you anons but I don't care enough to deal with politicking and bullshitters amassing virtual credibility to win pointless online arguments. In the brutal light of truth, we're all children anyhow... might as well accept you like what you like, and learn to expand your tastes.

Sometimes I write a story using a first person narrative and chisel away at it later, make it into a third person narrative if it fits.

Exposing myself to that which is natural and preternatural in this world.
