/lit/ - Literature

I know

>>17385633
I've rarely met an exceptionally intelligent person that degraded the intelligence of others, and never one that ran their mouth about how smart they are. I think a lot of /lit/ could bear to learn that lesson

>if you try and catch up on "the classics" you're a joyless pseud going through a checklist
>if you "read what you like" for fun, you're a fucking pathetic pleb who is wasting time reading garbage

what read?

>>14357859

>have actually read the works discussed by pseuds
>tfw it doesn't matter because I'm shit at talking about literature and am low IQ in general

>to intelligent to fall for midwit pseud rhetoric (Jordan Peterson, Richard Dawkins, Yuval Noah Harari, most fiction, etc.)
>still not intelligent enough to understand true intellectual writings (Hegel, Debord, Nick Land, Delouse and Guitar, etc.)

Is parallelism/allegory the most shallow literary device?

>t. retarded zoomers that actually enjoy his "humour"

OP is right, it's common knowledge that when you join a board, you must in some ways assimilate into the board culture (not in a bootlicker way), by that I mean that instead of just shitting out retarded threads and replies, you lurk for a while to become self-conscious enough to realise how retarded some of the things you believe really are.
Not like any of you manchildren will listen, you'll probably stick to your ">lit memes" threads and keep spewing worthless garbage.I'm not even mad, for you don't know any better, you just haven't had the proper societal impact exalted upon you, you also haven't lived long enough.

title says it all. i want books to pretend i actually have a personality to attract art-hoes. i am well-read, so my intellectual posturing isn't entirely for show.

hard mode: no non-english books

>20 pages to go before finishing book
>mfw it still feels like a fucking slog to finish

In real life there is a trade off

>[x] Intelligence
>[x] Good looks
>[x] Life of ease

You can only pick two.

If you want to be intelligent and good looking, you are really going to suffer— Be born poor. Have terrible luck. Abject loneliness. No family. Struggle to gain employment. You will suffer the most. This is by design to temper your pride. I picked intelligence and good looks and now pay the price.

Literally the most pleb tier of all word processors. You must be too poor to afford MS office or too stupid to pirate it. Either way, you're retarded for suggesting this. You're better off using a type writer than that open source garbage.

>tfw have no real taste in books
>tfw have no original ideas about them
>tfw just read whatever looks patrician
>tfw just look at the words and move on
