If you can stand reddit, you're part of it.

Crime and punishment
>>14282280
I agree with the poster but also plebbit generally has awful hiveminds

lol...so the guy basically got downvoted for saying that you should take the time to read difficult lit? Is /r/books really that pleb and braindead?

>>14282280
>someone
it was you, wasn't it, faggot.

also
>knowing what's posted on reddit
no matter how much you complain about it here it's still proof that you visit, read, and care about what goes on there.

>Is /r/books really that pleb and braindead?

The top threads are usually:

>I'm bored with [classic work of literature]! Should I skip? (nearly all the replies say yes)
>Am I to old to read YA? (nearly all replies say no)
>I used to love reading as a kid but know my attention span is gone!
>I just read [high-school tier lit] for the first time and it was amazing!
>I just read a whole novel for the first time in 20 years and it was amazing!

>>14282294
What's this from?

>>14282326
Fucking christ on a bike that's ridiculous.

>>14282326
Virtually everyone goes through the same things and cycles and acts like their hobbies and interests are new (I'm guilty) and then spiral into whatever niche they get involved with.

Ugh, so OP in that thread was basically looking for validation to skip a classic work of literature? Shitting hell.

>>14282326

That image makes me feel sick. Imagine wasting your so many hours of your life reading what is essentially trash fiction. That guy probably thinks he's a god of literature.

>"Reading George Orwells 1984 for the first time." Don't know why I've avoided this book for so long. Really enjoying it. It's a lot more easier to read than Brave New World. The book is frightening because it's so close to reality. History is slowly being changed or erased entirely and the higher ups are purposely dumbing down society in order to keep them in line. The idea of newspeak is a clever idea. However, today its played out differently but with the same result. Not being able to have a voice and being told that there is only one 'truth' makes you narrowed minded and easy prey to brainwashing. Something that has been happening on campuses for years now. I'm so glad I finally started to get into this amazing book. I love dystopian novels. What do you guys think of it?

>bunch of retards read book for plot and entertainment
>a midwit comes along and thinks he spits wisdom
>comes off as a condescending asshole
>retards vote him down

>caring about up and down votes
>bringing reddit posts here

What did you hope to accomplish with this thread?

>>14282382
Just reminding you that plebbity is real and thriving. We need to guard against it, not be complacent.

>>14282382
Also, just admit that it's fun to parade the plebs around, gawk at them and talk about how stupid they are.

Internet tribalism is one of the stupidest things

>>14282280
Fucking go back and stay there nigger

>>14282464
the seething rage is genuinely hilarious

>Hello looking for book recomendations! I LOVE Terry Goodkinds sword of truth novels. And also The RuneLords series by Dave Wulverton. I am currently reading dracula, the original one, and afterwards will read star wars aftermath trilogy! So any high fantasy-ish setting with an original twist is good for me! Anything that uses psychology or philosophy that makes you question life is what I'm hoping to get. If it is fantasy even better. Longer books the better. Thank you!

>Hello! So I want to finally get into reading a book before I sleep. Now I’ve quit videogames, I seem to have a clearer head in the evenings to do so.

>As a kid, I read challenging books to gain knowledge. As an adult, I read mindless books for my enjoyment. I think its a function of the difference in amount of free time available to me.

>>14282300
What about P&V?

>>14282385
>>14282399
yeah you still need to go back

>>14282503
I feel like plebbit is the perfect place for you. Have you just started reading? Man, do a quick google search.

>>14282295
What if you simply just don't give a shit?

>>14282500
>I think its a function of the difference in amount of free time available to me.

That's the copiest cope I ever saw.

>>14282522
Exactly. It's a shit excuse for giving up on reading actual literature. Wah, wah, I don't have enough time so I can only read Sanderson.

>>14282356
that's a woman

>>14282528
You never know with plebs these days. They all read the same shit.

>>14282488
These cringe texts and images of childish bookshelfs are making me laugh too hard. I seriously can't believe that grown up adults spend their time reading that crap. The manchild basedboy is strong here

>>14282509
Not the guy you replied to

>>14282280
Is anyone else a bit worried about the fact Crime and Punishment is now seen as difficult reading?

>>14282548
What was your major?

>>14282579
That was my first thought. One of my friends (not someone who reads regularly) recently told me she found 1984 difficult. People are bad at reading.

>>14282503
I read c+p garnett and liked it. I read p/v bros k and notes, loved them too. Just read them .

>>14282548
Here? Those greentexts are clearly from plebbit.

>>14282280
Hey OP neck yourself. Stop posting about reddit you inbred mongoloid.

>>14282280
>difficult books bad!
>guys Harry Potter ACHUALLY isn't made for children it becomes very grownup and adult as the series matures in the later books

>>14282467
Post feet, whore

>>14282579
It is an absolute fact that almost no men or women are intellectually or morally competent. Humans are stupid and evil. Accept it and rise above.

I'm a pleb tier reader that almost strictly lurks, these Reddit quotes make me sick and embarrassed for these cringey superficial ppl. but also better about myself for not being such a faggot

>>14282280
Damn, are they okay now?

>>14282280
>somebody voluntarily went to a censorious cult that hates speechfreedom
Looks like they got what they evidently wanted.

Capeshit is the modern equivalent of Homer's epics
