Reminder that every post defending China is made by Wumao.
Reminder that every thread mentioning China will inevitably get hijacked by wumao because they use scripts that flag any post with the word "China" in it.

Guys, look on the bright side. Millions of pounds are spent every year to clean the pigeon shit from those statues, now you won't have to pay taxes to keep them clean anymore

Jokes on you, I hate life and don't read

Reading the news makes you overall sadder. Haven't read the news since last year, it's been a significant increase in life quality. I wouldn't have found out that Iran and the US are going to war if people weren't constantly talking about it here

I finished Heart of Darkness yesterday, started The King in Yellow and I'm already 2/5 in. I think I'm going to start a "pages general" to motivate anons to start reading a little at a time

You're supposed to read philosophy to become cultured and interesting to talk to, not because it has any tangible benefit in the real world moron.

I'm a Nihilist.

I don't read propaganda

>still caring about losing your virginity after high school
No one cares OP. If it bothers you that much just hire a hooker. If you lived in a cucked country where prostitution is illegal, save some money and go do some sex tourism in an exotic country. Now fuck off with your off-topic thread

Good for you man. You have to realize however that a work of fiction doesn't need to have a central theme or moral to work. If anything, covering multiple topics skillfully is far more rewarding than just going "war is bad"/friendship is important/hard work is important/etc" and repeating that from beginning to end

Because they are wish-fulfillment. Who doesn't want their life to be like a movie/anime/videogame/book?
No one shits in fiction. No one has to wait in line at the DMV. The little inconveniences life don't exist in fiction. You can always try to play-pretend thought.

To flex in front of the normalfags. Feels good to know that so far I've read 2 books and 1 manifesto more than most normalfags have read since high school

Any books on architecture? Nothing too technical, just something that gives a layman a general overview of the different styles please.

The problem of evil, obviously

Anyone know of a classic that is hilarious? I'm in need of a laugh.

Any advice on building better reading habits? I try to do 5 pages a day like that other anon keeps posting about, and carrying a book everywhere with me. Any other advice some of you have had success with?
