lmaoing at how far gone these incel cucks are. it must be the unconscious desire to stay cucked and avoid women at all costs to ostracize oneself in the absurd and arbitrary way that willingly becoming a Nazi in the current year is.

5 books every man should read before the age of 30?

I've recently finished Fyodor Dostoyevsky's masterpiece Crime and Punishment, and wow.

I'm at awe of how he was able to make me sympathise four a freaking axe murdered and literally feel his pain throughout the story. I felt like I was there with Roskolnikov the whole way, and I felt his pain. The story telling was just amazing.

I'm glad it's finished and I'm reading something more uplifting now cause it was so dark. To be honest I'm not sure I enjoyed the journey of reading Crime and Punishment because of how it made me feel Roskolnikov's pain, which was so warped and deep. But I have to admit Fyodor did a magnificent job of putting the reader right there with him. So I'm both Disturbed and amazed at this novel. Anyone else got that from reading three book?

I don't want to make this too long, but I used to love reading literally everything I got my hands on. It was one of my favourite hobbies, I used to borrow books from the school library and read them in a day or two and wait till the next week to borrow another book. My school library really fueled my love for reading because before that I never really got books or bought them.

I started college with one of my majors being English and ever since then, I've been forced to read books that I think are pretty boring. I mean they've started revolutions and they've been innovations in their genres, but once they became compulsory reading, I never really got into them. And with that my reading habit died as well. Every book I tried to read was either too boring or too "juvenile" for me, because I got used to reading books that were introspective and weird and I started to feel dumb or stupid when I tried to read books that I'd liked but started to hate because they didn't fill a quota of being pretentious.

I found this board and I saw so many posts about people reading different books. Like vastly different books. And I realised that I should stop trying to set a bar for books and just read things that I like instead of books that would make me look smart. I shouldn't try to pretend to read things because the people around me would scoff if I started reading a YA novel that I genuinely thought was neat instead of a novel that broke the bounds of feminist writing.

I've started getting into sci fi now, I've finally willingly finished a book after nearly 4 years of not being able to . It felt good and fun and not exactly fulfilling because I've yet to get rid of that bar that I've spent the last few years setting up, but I'm getting there.

I just wanted to thank you guys for being really supportive and nice of everyone's choices in books even though they might not be your cup of tea. It really opened my eyes to what a wholesome and nice community this is. <3

Tldr: You guys make up a very wholesome community and I'm glad that I can be a part of it.
