/lit/ - Literature

/lit/ is full of pseuds and poseurs. Most of the people here just discuss the same 100 or so books ad infinitum. No body here has any original opinions or authentic taste in literature, they are just concerned with reading the "cannon" to appear cultured (assuming they actually read at all, which is doubtful). Virtually nobody ever talks about books from recent or obscure authors, books from outside the western world, and practically none follow or participate in local literary scenes. It is the equivalent of people who only listen to /mu/ core music or only watch movies on the IMDB top 250
