>She was so pretty
I think /lgbt/ might be more up your alley

Should I even finish A Room Of One's Own? It's boring so far. I wasn't prepared for all the literature references and the Old English words.

What she actually looked like

>Thought--to
call it by a prouder name than it deserved--had let its line down into
the stream. It swayed, minute after minute, hither and thither among the
reflections and the weeds, letting the water lift it and sink it
until--you know the little tug--the sudden conglomeration of an idea at
the end of one's line: and then the cautious hauling of it in, and the
careful laying of it out? Alas, laid on the grass how small, how
insignificant this thought of mine looked; the sort of fish that a good
fisherman puts back into the water so that it may grow fatter and be one
day worth cooking and eating.

man i don't know the tug at all. Is this a good description of the development of an idea? will i re-learn to think like this once i've had some significant time without weed, or does this just apply to wimmin?

The only people overly concerned with "high culture" are middle class, middlebrow types, who are the worst of all.

>hurrr let me read all these books on this list then I can think of myself as Cultured and a Real Intellectual (tm)

Spoiler alert: virtually every single American is middle class, and the ones with intellectual aspirations are almost all middle brows.
