/lit/ - Literature

Every classmate and friend I once had have a job already. Me, I don't really want to. Actually, knowing they have a job makes me even more demotivated to also have one. I don't know what will be of my life.

Thanks a lot

I used to read a lot when i was younger, but wasting time on teh interwebz gradually took over, and now i barely ever read. How do i get into reading again? i have a few books lying around that i am genuinely lusting to read, but don't because my brain is hardwired to to internet by now.

>The same hyperbolic shit all lefties use
>all lefties

You don't know all lefties, you are exaggerating. You're either a hypocrite or an idiot.

Is it possible to teach yourself to be smart?

Richard Yates has some pretty lonely short stories.

I used to read a lot in school, but after that ended I hadn't touched for a couple of years. I got hooked on Game of Thrones when it premiered, and unable to wait a year to find how it continued, I bought the books and rediscovered my love for reading. After I finished them, I came to /lit/ for reccomendations because I wanted more books to hold in my hands, and I haven't left since.

This, why do people always treat you different when you're young and they catch you reading?

>Freshman
>Reading Roadside picnic
>Cool foreign kids walk by and slap the book out of my hand
>People start letting me join their friend groups out of pitty

It's like High School Musical or some shit and I didn't even read good books.

Can anyone point me to any great abo literature, especially philosophy?

Did we run out of room to grow? Did artists hit a ceiling as far as how good you could get? Is that why well known modern art is all abstract 2deep4u crap?

Or do modern people not have the time to develop their skill like this?
