/lit/ - Literature

>>4874554
Zizek is a pseudo-intellectual with a superiority complex.

True philosophy is hard to find these days, now it's just the edgier version of politics. Zizek doesn't realize that he is a part of the 99%.

Science categorized philosophy into more sustainable fields, leaving only the shitstains that were not worthy of being claimed as a science.

Why is fictional literature so pointless /lit/?

I have read most of the books in the /lit/ essentials but I can never 'relate' to a fictional book. After reading fiction I just say "okay" and carry on. It didn't teach me or change my lifestyle like people on /lit/ claim books to affect them. Same with "philosophy" books, it's just old men chanting about their opinions and how their political spectrum is right. Educational literature interests me more since it actually teaches something, unlike philosophy books.

Does philosophical and fictional literature really affect the lifestyle of people here? Am I doing this 'reading' thing wrong?

Where do you obtain your books from, /lit/?
