/lit/ - Literature

Is this chair art. I was commissioned to rice it up with gold leaf pattern and trimmings. Owner said it is worth 5k, but I never saw artisan labels or stamps. It had genuine cordovan leather from horween tannery.

I can't sit down and read more than 2 pages without stopping to look aground as if to place myself in the room rather than in the pages. I can't read. Maybe I have a learning disorder.

I hate fiction. I read one paragraph and immediately my mind races away with my imagination. Their thoughts that through a lack of vocabulary I couldn't express, but the text on the pages always seem dull in comparison that I just stop.

The only thing I can stand is history. Although, I don't remember much of what I read I find myself struggling less with academic historical texts that to some extent seem more objective than fiction and theory.

Am I alone in finding fiction and those subjective post modern and theoretical exertions to be unbearable.
