>nice list, how many years to go through the list?
There are 1500 entries, so do the math.
Some of those are poetry books or plays, so they could be read quickly, but many are proper novels, so if we assume a week for each work, that's 29 years.

Fuck me I typed Dark Souls initially. I don't even like the game

I know it's mostly religious stuff, but not even including Old Church Slavonic is a very pleb move.

This is why the vast majority of female writers are not taken seriously they simply are to obsessed with sentimentality and do not know the value of aestheticism

Why does your gf criticize you this way? The western canon and reading as a hobby was a mostly European concept so of course they are white. I assume you are white and said gf is white please tell me why you proceed to be with a woman who actively tries to shame you and indeed herself due to your heritage?

>the central theme of a book can be summed up in a sentence
Yeah, I know. Reading fiction isn't even interesting to me anymore. Shame that I've spent so much money on all these books that will be left unread for so long since I will already have lost all interest in them when I've already read even 20% of them. Two to Five fiction books a year are fine, but anything more than that just seems like a ridiculous waste of time. The only authors that bring me any joy whatsoever are Nabokov and James Joyce and the entire rest just jades me. Fuck fiction.

>when you stop to think about the lost works of the ancients
That's the worst feel ever.

Seriously though. How do I reconcile this? Why was my mother so sexually close to me when I was a kid and she let me play with her body? This is a serious fucking question.
