/lit/ - Literature

To impress you.

I read to seem cultured in conversations with my colleagues.

People read here?

Forced immersion. There is NOTHING like a great book.
A good book is fine too.

I read to wait for death.

How can you live with the thought that you'll eventually get caught out?

>>1292193
Tell me about it, mine's killing me.

>>1292193
hahahahahahaha

But how can you live in the constant fear, knowing that you'll eventually get caught out?

I used to read because I wanted to know things. Then I read because I wanted a way to feel awesome. Then because I loved listening to other people's stories. Now because it's part of who I am.

I've heard that the multiplayer sucks.

Because it's fun and you learn things.
I'm reading James Weldon Johnson's Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man for a class and it's getting me interested in the Jazz Age. It makes me want to pursue the work of F. Scott Fitzgerald and similar authors.

Maybe he secretly wants to get caught.

I read to find witty/ meaningful quotes useful for excusing my shitty behavior.

>>1292246
>shitty behaviour
>choose to live in china
liar, liar. pants on fire.

I have never liked TV. Gotta do something while trying to fall asleep. Especially with occassional insomnia.

>play CoD online

lol good one Ty

I don't get it. Are you implying good social conduct is common here? These people are fucking savages.

to me, a good book is the best aesthetic experience one can have. i geek out. it's enjoyable.

also, you learn things or expand your mind if you read things with literary merit

>>1292262
too pretentious?

>>1292263

How long have you lived in China? Do you have a Chinese accent? Where'd you live before going to China?

I read because I can't help it

>>1292284
1. 6 weeks
2. I'm a white American guy, so no
3. Oklahoma

>>1292246

Pretty much the opposite of that. I read so I can find the motivation to change my shitty behavior. Sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't.

Also, I use the quotes and ideas I find interesting to fuel my shitty attempts at writing.

>>1292298
You lucky bastard, I'm still stuck in Oklahoma.

>>1292330
1. Which part?
2. Have a little pride you piece of shit.

>>1292345
Fuck you and this goddamn state. I'm outta here as soon as I can convince my wife we'd be better off raising our family elsewhere.

Overactive imagination that gets fueled by literary scribblings. Too, reading a lot is good for writers, especially fiction writers.

>>1292354
Have you considered Jesusland?

>>1292357
Oklahoma is Jesusland. That's just one of a long list of reasons why I want to leave.

>>1292359
Well best of luck in finding a place where everything is to your liking. It isn't a real place, but good luck anyway.
