>reading non-fiction is essential for understanding fiction
>no one on the board is qualified to make a "top three authors of x country" post
>you are allowed to have books on your bookshelf you haven't read
>a significant portion of printed works have not become circulated ebooks yet (shouldn't even need to be an "opinion")
>there are actually a lot of jobs related to the English field; the people who complain about having nothing are the people who didn't care about books, writing, literacy or rhetoric to begin with
>this is not a board for writers to make threads about their writing
>the sticky is a useful resource
>literature is not in a downturn, contemporary literature is not "dying," you just don't read any fucking contemporary literature besides the pop fiction shoved at you
>the medieval period did not have a dearth of literature/culture
>Eastern literature is not subpar to Western literature, despite your in-place bias
>everyone here should buy a bunch of books from small publishers
>everyone here should put forth the effort in actually searching out small publishers and works they enjoy that aren't pre-approved for them
