How can people read this much and not even discover literature, classic books, or even stuff that is widely praised for its literary merit. The only two good books there are the Border Trilogy and The Book of the New Sun. Stephen King is alright, but not literature.

It's all boring shit from old farts. You can't learn anything from it so why bother? At least modern literature is fun and witty.

Those are the books NOOK was made for because having them on a bookshelf where people can see them is asking for it.

Your taste is garbage. There is a time in life for all kinds of literature.

> where people can see them is asking for it.
Who cares? Who are these people? Friends? They probably share with you those hobbies anyway. Who else? Your mom? Who the fuck would even care about books you read at any point in your life?
All those books you have on the shelf ONLY YOU will ever read on this Earth. After you die your children will sell this shit OR (if you don't have any) your relatives just drop this pappertrash to the waste.

Read what you like, autists. There are nobody around to judge you.
