How do I get into reading ironically? Alright, here me out before you accuse me of shitposting. Last summer in Chicago, I went to a /lit/ meet up - I was the guy with a Cubs hat and a beard. I was speaking to some people, telling them reading and studying authors didn't do it for me anymore, and some guy suggested to me reading ironically. As in, reading Tom Green and that type of kitsch.

I don't think I can stomach something like that, but I've never tried it really. I was thinking of maybe easing into that, you know start reading the Greeks ironically because not only have I read few of them, reading more contemporary philosophers that include footnotes has helped me understand them a whole lot better. Any thoughts or suggestions?
