>tfw talking to a girl who has never heard of Edgar Allan Poe

Tell me about the times you talked to people who had no fucking idea what you were talking about with regards to literature.

I recently started reading again; I finished The Sirens of Titan about a week and a half ago (it was an easy read). I'm currently about 125 pages into The Road and I'm concerned about my reading comprehension. I'm constantly having to re-read portions of the book; simulating the events of the book in my mind is difficult and taxing for me too.

I feel like I'm too dumb for reading and I'm just curious if you guys have experienced an improvement in your comprehension since you started reading "adult" books. I dunno, it just bothers me to know that lots of shit is going over my head.

>character constructed entirely out of thin air using tell not show characterization detailing everything about them, even things that couldn't possibly be related to the current setting

>character proceeds to act nothing like as described

That's what all of you sound like. It like you're accusing Stoker not thinking about how in 100 years time there'd be digital things to spread around his book. HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN! HOW DARE A CENTURY OLD BOOK NOT THINK ABOUT DISTANT FUTURE OF ELECTRIC GODS AND FLYING CHARIOTS!!!!!!
