Huh, never considered this angle. Can you exapand on the thought?

>All your /lit/ shitposts are archived

>only reading fiction

I really hope you don't do this

Alright I've had enough, /lit/ was the last board keeping me on this utter shithole of a site because I thought there'd be actual discussion here

So long fags, I have a book to write

I've actually never learned how to read. I buy the books and bring them to a bright and public place and I flip through the pages as if I were reading them.

For each supposed "level of difficulty" that a book is at, I will time my page turns accordingly to give the impression of comprehension.

For example, I breezed through The Great Gatsby in one afternoon. Now that I'm "reading" The Brothers Karamazov, I find myself sloughing through it at a much slower pace.

It has gotten the attention of some English students from the local university though, which is nice. It's been fun to talk about the books I have "read" with them, because their enthusiasm is usually a good disguise for my lack of ability. I just nod my head and smile when they light up over a certain passage or charter. They do all the talking, I do all the listening. This has helped when I need to reference things. For example, I have started calling people "old sport" like Jay Gatsby does. I assume Jay Gatsby is some kind of baseball player or something.

Mostly though, when I'm sitting at the coffee shop staring at the strange squiggles on the page, I think of pornography.

Unnecessary, endless subdivisions are for Reddit. They think they’re learning more by focussing on minutiae; they’re just wanking themselves off. The shitposts, the memes, the things you don’t want to read about and things you didn’t know about are what makes /lit/ – and 4chan – so great.

>this fucking discussion
I seriously hope this is an elaborate troll, otherwise it'd be better if both parties realized that 4chan is an anonymous forum and there is no need to scrape back from the floor any dignity you've lost in an argument.

I barely read at all, I've been exposed and can comprehend most of the ideas people discuss here because I've listened to many lectures online and watched mostly visual media related to these subjects. The rest I've gathered is from magazines about philosophy (both eastern and western). I really want to read but I have a terrible attention span when it comes to reading, I can't do it for too long and when I do it just feels like work.
