/lit/ - Literature

>>5373756

I dumped a girl I had recently entered into a relationship with because she didn't know what Les Miserables was.

I thoroughly enjoyed most of the books I was assigned in high school, and have read many of them again since then.

Most of my good friends are fairly well-read; I find that as time goes on people who don't read become less and less bearable.

The few times I've smoked weed it did absolutely nothing for me. Not even a slight buzz, let alone a high.

I know I won't be considered a successful member of society until I have a degree, a well-paying job, a house with a mortgage and 2.4 kids, but secretly nothing would make me happier than a studio apartment in a big east coast city with a job that doesn't require much mental exertion but pays the rent and gives me plenty of time to write books.

I smoke on a fairly regular basis; my family thinks I've quit.

There are days when I feel like the people on /lit/ are the only people I can talk to, my only friends.

I did not enjoy Lolita in the slightest.

I do not understand the appeal of e-readers at all.

I am appalled by the direction poetry has taken since the 1980s.

I believe that people who categorically avoid fiction have sticks up their asses, people who categorically avoid poetry are fearful of things they cannot understand in concrete terms, and people who categorically avoid nonfiction are willfully ignorant of the world around them.
