/lit/ - Literature

How much reading time does having an easily available Internet connection takes up from you?

“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.” ~ The Bible by God
What did God mean in that line?

How come Harold Bloom has read the whole canon multiple times, yet hasn't produced any poetry or writing of his own? He teaches literature, he knows what has and probably what hasn't been done, he knows what artists are truly unique. Do you think that he literally just lacks creative talent, and only has the ability to speak matter of fact about the literature which he reads? His whole career seems to be the byproduct of the fact that he is just an incredibly fast reader, and by consequence has become an expert who can easily engage in the topic (much like people who play video games converse about video games. Although video games don't take any intelligence, at least, a dim and insignificant amount compared to reading).
