Saturn gets told his own kids will kill him someday, so he tries to eat them, causing the backlash of Jupiter killing him. But who needs Jupiter? Things were supposed to be better in Saturn's time.

how do you approach reading and literature in general correctly?
I haven't been much of a reader, so I decided to catch up and read all the books that I was supposed to read in highschool (we never learned literature then), and made a list of books based on your recommendations, and the ones of a book enthusiast that I know. anyway, I realize reading books purely because someone else said they were good is ridiculous, and I've often caught myself forming an "opinion" on a book that I haven't even read yet, and being worried about reading a book that's bad the minute someone shows displeasure on one book or another. I really don't want to become a pretentious asshole that reads certain books so people will think he's smart, /lit/. I genuinely want to enjoy books. ;_;
