Zoomer here. I actually read the most important works of Stalin (Dialectical and Historical Materialism, Economic Problems of Socialism in the USSR) but I wouldn't say it's common enough to lend credibility to this meme. Right now I'm reading the Pre-Socratics

Do you realize what the average American reading level actually is? There's a swath of the population that barely know how to sign their own names. Your average community college chick reads YAF; a trades-dude will glance through some nonfiction if it pertains to his training/occupation. The typical highschooler disdains literature, moreso than the average millennial did, thanks to flex-culture. As such, the "I'm special, they'll be smitten by my cunning" sort boast about bullshit they'll never read in rebell-sell fashion (like Quincy Punks). Typically:

Marx/Engels/Proudhon/Kropotkin (left)
Popper/Hayek/Taleb/Peterson (right)

The gullible are lead to breadtube via parroting or parody on tiktok/Instagram.

There is no way a zoomer made this pic, a leftist millennial definitely made it to cope that his generation is a failure

2002 zoomer here. I read 24 books last year (2 per month)
>Kalevala (Finnish national epic)
>The Sorrows of Young Werther
>Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
>Obscure Finnish book #1
>Obscure Finnish book #2
>Lord of the Flies

>Ride the Tiger
>Obscure Finnish book #6
>The Selfish Gene
>Blood Meridian
>The Decline of the West

>Mein Kampf, part 1
This year I have read:
>Mein Kampf, part 2
>Obscure Finnish book #7
>The New York -trilogy
>Moby Dick
>Ars Amatoria
>Aeneid
I also went to the library with my gf the other day and I borrowed The Heart of Darkness, Paradise Lost and The Divine Comedy. Feels good. Get on my level, boomers and millenial fucking shits

Obscure Finnish book #4 is a joke and should not be considered part of the series

>>18021983
filtered

>>18021762
I always read 2 books simultaneously, 1 non-fic (political theory or philosophy) and 1 novel. I'm currently reading the conspiracy against the human race and the sound and the fury (in addition to the mandatory texts for uni + political theory for a weekly leftist book club I'm part of)
>>18021883
21 y/o philosophy major here, I admire you for actually reading that long. My brain is still somewhat wired to cyberspace from my time as a neet so it's hard for me to read more than 20 pages at once without feeling the urge to check my phone or whatever. Sometimes I think about throwing every communicative and distracting device into the trash but then I remember you can't really socialize without these things nowadays.
>most movies feel so fast they give me nausea
avoid kulturindustrie. watch asian kino.

>>18021977
Finn here, did you read the Kalevala in the original poem form? or did you read it in some simpler text. The poem one looks fucking hard to concentrate on. Maybe I'm just a retard or something I don't know

>commit constant social faux pas bc i forget 'niggardly' is out of favor

kek

as a zoomer, i read YA

21 y/o here, currently reading Don Quijote and Meditations. I get great satisfaction from reading classics, but I do read some contemporary lit as well. One aspect that I think is worth to consider is that by reading recently released and popular books, you can talk to way more people about books and avoid the problem >>18021883
is having.

It is kind of like a few years ago when GoT was the shit and everyone was talking about it. It is just nice to have something to fall back on in social situations, and by reading a bestseller from time to time you achieve the same thing.

I read catch 22 this year but I'm 30 does that count

>>18022188
Why do you read two books at the same time?

>>18022188
GoT is shit and you should feel ashamed of talking about it in public

>>18022242
Most people on /lit/ does that from I've seen. I also do three (philosophy, other nonfiction, poetry)

>>18022242
If I feel like I have stared at one of them too long I can switch to another book instead of looking at my phone et cetera.

>>18022055

Yes.

You'll get through it if you don't have a reading disability.

>>18022498
One of my greatest sins is learning about Dosboy from Peterson.

>>18022518
I agree. I was born in 1999. I know there's no exact threshold but I would classify my generation as proto-zoomer

>>18021762
19 here.
I mostly read
Evola, Plato, Dostoevsky, Ellul
And others but I'm not naming them all

They don't read.

But what's more incredible to me is that a lot of them don't consume any form of narrative media at all. Not even as a form of procrastination. I mean no tv shows, no movies etc. It's all just vloggers and tik tok. This means when they have to do creative writing they can't even think of ideas to rip off, let alone original ideas. Without sounding like a boomer, it genuinely astounds me.

t. high school teacher

>>18021977
firstly, I want to let you know that I have absolutely zero respect for anyone not born in the old millenium. You had the rare opportunity to live in two millenia and you, and your parents, fucked it up. cringe af. thus, no matter what you read, no matter how good the books are (and they're quite based) I will never respect you.
secondly, and much more importantly, this
>boomers and millenial fucking shits
just goes to show how completely retarded you and your entire generation is. you only know these two generations because they're memes. You have no idea that there were other generations, that real boomers don't post here, or that the other generation that would be more likely to post here than genuine boomers, are called gen x.

You suck, your generation sucks, and I'm glad to that you're too retarded to recognize what you're participating in. You'll just reap the dire results.

>>18021762
My sister is 14 and is reading No Longer Human because they made Dazai a character in one of her animes.

>>18021762
My younger sister is 15 and she’s reading the Brothers Karamazov at the moment. In the last year she’s read Tolstoy, Hemingway, Murakami, Steinbeck, both Brontes, Tolkien, Salinger etc. I’m 18 and since March last year I’ve been readzing Dostoyevsky, Borges, Orwell, Kafka, Houellebecq, Aldous Huxley, Nabokov, DFW, Pynchon, McCarthy, Hemingway, Mishima, John Williams, Herman Hesse, Homer, plus Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Hobbes, John Stuart Mill, Herodotus, Rene Guenon and others I’ve probably forgotten. But to answer your question: zoomers don’t really read - none of my male friends read at all, and only a couple of my female friends read, and primarily just on holiday. Zoomers are on the most part entirely addicted to digital entertainment (including myself), and our ruined attention spans don’t allow for much reading.

>>18022558
Not him but there were few genuine boomers on /lit/. 4chan attracts quite a few super old people because of /pol/ and Trump

>>18022498
Peterson probably has cognitive dissonance.
Says his viewers to read Dosto, who basically believed in a theocracy; and at the same time Nietzsche.
.

if you're talking about zoomers that aren't on here, there are probably 2 types
type 1: doesn't read or only reads ya stuff
type 2: reads entry stuff or one Dostojewski, think they're deep and post about it on TikTok

>>18022563
Your sister single?

The fact there are teenagers on this site is funny. I don't care, I started browsing this place when I was like 14 or 15 and even then I felt like the place was past its prime and losing relevance. I'm still here becuase I broke my brain being online too much that now I don't know anything else. I just wonder how younger kids even end up here.

>>18022562
Is this true?

if so that's kinda cool

>>18022598
I think it’s because they’re both ‘existentialists’

>>18022538
99 is definitely zoomer

>>18022678

t. zoom fag here
got caught up in the twitter meme about nick land and started reading fisher, the CCRU works, fanged noumena etc, alongside cultural works surrounding them like neuromancer. besides that I read a lot of classical fiction (finished all quiet on the western front a week ago, loved it) and some more modern stuff like "war of the end of the world". My favorite author is probably Ernst Junger.

>>18021772
Do you like it?

>>18022780
kys. not because of what you're reading. it's based apart from Jünger. kys because you're a zoomer

>>18022563

>>18022722
This is an anonymous basket weaving forum, what reason would I have for lying?

18 here, all of the readers my age that I know, all five of them read literary fiction/the classics, authors like Orwell, Wilde, Dostoevsky or Nabokov. Zoomers in the Balkans aren't fully retarded like their western counterparts, but it's definitely getting worse.

>>18022954
When you introduced your post I thought you were gonna say actual classics not only 19th/20th century shit

>>18021762
I want to read German Idealists to be a major Duginist pseud but I haven’t even started reading the Greeks. Someone help me.

Bridgerton Series (Because of Netflix)

>>18023107

t. zoomer as well

>>18021973
This. Most Zoomers are progressives or “classic liberal” types. Both the /pol/ and lefty people saying zoomers will overthrow the system and are actually all extremists are deluded.

>>18023148

>>18021762
Zoomer here. I’m reading Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and Fathers and Sons.

>>18022242
Not him but I'm usually reading many different books at once, especially when I'm on a kick. Different ones scratch different itches. Would you scratch your head if your foot itched? Besides, reading widely of different authors allows me to compare and contrast the effectiveness of different styles.

This week I've been reading:
>The Bible
>The Summa
>Red Dragon
>We Have Always Lived In The Castle (Finished)
>The Vinland Sagas (Finished)
>'Salem's Lot
>Frankenstein
>Exorcism Through The Ages
>Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe

Wide mix of classics, philosophy/theology, nonfiction, poetry, and contemporary fiction. Plus that doesn't even include the vast collection of books I've started months ago and mean to go back to.

>>18023163
They’re joking anon. Nobody in their right mind is seriously considering that Zoomers are going to destroy the system, but to insinuate that centrist/apolitical zoomers cant be swayed by people trying to push the overton window to the hard left and right, that’s also deluded.

>>18022627
>I just wonder how younger kids even end up here.
4chan has been talked about as some Nazi hub for the past 5 years. So all the zoomie edgelords came over here.

>>18023186
>They’re joking anon
Are they? I’ve seen both of them seriously talk like zoomers are all extremists. And obviously yes they can be swayed I didn’t say otherwise.

After all the shit that was put on millennials why do they insist on doing the same to zoomers?

Because it is a fundamental truth in all ages that young people are stupid.

>>18021762
90% don’t or just read YAtrash.

>>18021762
it depends on the zoomer, they do read more though because they have much more focus on aesthetics

They don't, unless you call watching some Youtube e-celeb explain it "reading."

>>18021883
Dye your hair grey and start wearing cardigans, corduroy, and smoke a pipe

>>18023377
not a chance. 96 is millenial. 97 is zoomer

>>18022518
in my experience, proto-zoomers (95-99) are usually the most based compared to the rest of the bretheren, since they got to see civilisation and culture taken from them as kids and teenagers and had technology forced upon them against their consent

I feel bad for ye

For the division between boomers and millennials see the cold war/Berlin Wall. It also depends on which country you are from for example in Ireland for millennial to zoomer it would be the Belfast Agreement.

Important thing to remember is that the individual must understand the world at the time and this varies.

I'm reading The Divine Comedy right now, I'm halfway through Inferno but I bought I notebook to steart reading again so I can write down the words I don't know, I also bought 5 books to learn Latim and they're supposed to arrive this week. Also it doesn't really matter because most people dont read or when they read is YA trash, literotica or self-help, people genuinely interested in literature, cinema, painting etc are always going to be a minority no matter the generation they belong

2002 reporting. I've been on /lit/ since I was 14 though (unfortunate for me). I used to care about how screwed up my generation was, and the path that it was taking. After removing myself from a few social circles and limiting my tie spent on social media I stopped caring. I honestly am apathetic to whatever's happening in the world. I read the news every now and again to know what's happening in my state and my family's state, but besides that I don't really pay attention anymore. I could care less about most of modern pop culture and what the government does, as long as they don't start banning books and limiting free speech. Because at this point I just want to be left alone to read.
Sorry for blogposting

of my friends, one reads film theory (David Lynch as of late) and another ancient history (primarily about Imperial Rome).

Be selective, but go for a variety to maximize relevance. Play at least one of all of the following to get a pretty widespread variety of genre and gameplay. The below order I think is probably an abridged route to being able to have meaningful conversations and tastes in modern gaming
>At least 30 minutes of tetris
>at least one mainline Mario 3D platformer to completion of the final boss kill, probably Odyssey (about 15 hours)
>A pokemon game to credits (about 25 hours)
>At least 60 hours of any animal crossing game, played 1 hour at a time
>Baba is you, to credits (about 5 hours)
>Uncharted 2, to completion (about 20 hours)
>at least 10-20 hours of minecraft
>Kingdom hearts 1, to completion (about 30 hours)
>Portal, to completion (about 5 hours)
>at least 5-10 hours of CSGO
>Dark Souls 1, to completion (about 45-60 hours)
>At least one 'ascension' of one clicker game (eg cookie clicker), about 10-30 hours depending on the clicker
>Skyrim and Fallout: New Vegas to completion of main quest (about 100 hours total)
>At least 5 hours of any fighting game with rollback online multiplayer
>Red dead redemption 2, to completion (about 50 hours)
>At least 3 hours of Fortnite
>At least 1 hour of Among us
The above list will take about 450ish hours, which at 2.5 hours an evening is about 6 months of play

>learn to meditate and meditate on why you care if your penis has wrinkles when nobody's looking at it anyways

Consoooooming is diferent from "Consumption". At the very least ~450 hours of video games (even if the 15 minute pause is given) will destroy the brain due to constant dopamine rushes. Not to mention the movies.

I've read Confessions this past month. Of course, I'm a theology student, so I'm nerdier and inclined towards reading, but I'm still a zoomer none the less. This year I've read:

Kafka on the Shore
Confessions
Waiting for the Barbarians
The Great Divorce
Ficciones
Stoner
No Longer Human
Silence
The Screwtape Letters
The Master and Margarita
One Hundred Years of Solitude

>>18026467
The compliment's appreciated, but the full argument is pretty simple.

None of these actiivities have any inherent productivity to them. They don't cure cancer, they don't clean your room, they don't write your sick friends or family members a "get well soon" card, they don't make you money, they don't volunteer in the community, they don't inherently make you smarter, bigger, faster, stronger, they don't enact political change nor do they care much for it,

At the end of the day, what do all of these activities look like, and do in practice?
>You stare at the thing and CONSOOM it
You might feel like that was positive consumption, or that it was raw and debased CONSOOMing, but in terms of practical difference to the world, it's a big zero.

You wanna do real world things, fine, but don't ever trick yourself into thinking that there's a meaningful difference between what you're calling consumption and CONSOOMing when looking at the spectrum of results coming from enjoying games vs enjoying films vs enjoying books.

Becoming "videogame literate" will never get you laid and will only make you socialized among anti-social faggots. Don't listen to this faggot keep reading and only watch movies by old good directors like Kubrick, Tarkovsky, Bergman etc. Pretty good contemporary directors are Eggers, Refn, Von Trier, and Paul Thomas Anderson. You can talk about those guys with normies and they'll appreciate it if they have taste.

>>18026522
>Becoming "videogame literate" will never get you laid and will only make you socialized among anti-social faggots.
I'm not sure how old you are, but if you're under 25, basically everyone plays video games. I think disagreement on this point is going to be generational because you're not used to it being any other way.

> only watch movies by old good directors like Kubrick, Tarkovsky, Bergman etc.
I posted a list if you just want pseud/critic enjoyed movies, I don't think this is a good use of time for someone optimizing to watch they can socialize about and are likely to enjoy.

>>18026534
I'm 25 and spend most of my youth playing videogames. It only socialized me amongst permavirgin nerds and I never got laid. It was only until after I started engaging with literature I started to have success with women as I knew how to talk about things in life besides banal videogames.
Most women don't play videogames and the ones that do don't want a man that can only relate to them via videogames. Reading literature which helped me understand the human condition socialized me far better than videogames ever did.

Zoomerchad here, this is what I've read so far this year:
Ovid - Metamorphoses
Milton - Paradise Lost
The Bible (I'm on Kings rn)
Rabelais - Gargantua and Pantagruel
Aristotle - Metaphysics
Kant - Critique of Judgement
Deleuze - Kant's Critical Philosophy (alongside his lectures on Kant)
Nietzsche - Gay Science
Heidegger - Being and Time
Heidegger - Nietzsche III and IV
Bergson - Time and Free Will
Nietzsche - Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Deleuze - Bergsonism
Virgil - The Aeneid
Fichte - Wissenschaftslehre novo methodo
Beiser - German Idealism: The Struggle Against Subjectivism

The takeaways that people have from media are unpredictable and anecdotal. Glad it worked out for you.

I reject the turbovirgin portion or "greater utility" arguments for socialization and life, however - people underestimate their influences and the sway they hold within them.

You may feel that the books represented a final piece in your development or a particularly helpful segment, but it was upon a foundation of the games, media, cultural consumption and experiences you had associated with doing the above. To attribute all the success to books and all of the failures to games or films is like trying to mentally separate the external structure of a house from the foundation that holds it up - they go together to make a successful "house".

There may be examples of
>just books nothing else full stop
people just like there are "foundationless houses" - it's just that most people don't have many positive things to say about tents and trailer cars as permanent homes, though.

>people seem slightly bewildered that I read, and I have even been teased for reading "big books" by my friends.
>I do not know a single person my age who reads recreationally. I know people who pretend to be "film buffs", and I know people who parrot everything Anthony Fantano says because they think it makes them sound smart, but I don't know a single soul who reads.
In conclusion: No, generally speaking, zoomers do not read. I know there are exceptions (for there are always exceptions), but they are few and far in between.

You don't do this to fuck or for women, you do it as part of achieving normalcy. This is a subtle point, so bear with me.

An absolute absence of knowledge in these spaces DOES make you come off as out-of-touch, unfashionably older than your peers, and unable to relate to them on basic small talk questions likely to come up, but its real impact comes from hundreds of micro-interactions you probably wouldn't recognize are happening if you've not done this consumptive legwork.

If you need proof of this, there's a reason that the kid at daycare who was like
>oh I don't watch TV
was always the weirdest motherfucker, and it was in part because he was UNIRONICALLY uncultured. This is because there are elements of his cultural education which other media, like video games and films, impart that his parents objectively failed to pass on, and you notice it in the blank stares when you discuss story and character beats you care about, or when people tell jokes in passing that rely on referential knowledge, or in hundreds of other small moments of normalcy's performance.

This means when other normal people, who are comparatively well-versed in these matters talk, he comes off like a weirdo, for lack of the knowledge needed to navigate these conversations with the same level of adeptness. So you're right that this knowledge doesn't get you laid, which in practice for most people comes from going to spaces with women that share interests with you and asking them out. This knowledge DOES get you to the point that when you socialize WITH men and women, they recognize you as a man of culture, in the literal sense of
>a man who has had a similar cultural upbringing and canon that they're pulling from as the one I was raised in
and as dumb as it sounds, in 2021, that expectation demands you to have watched quite a few movies and played quite a few games.

Maybe in some Latin American shitholes where the so-called communist party is just a proxy for indigenous nationalism. Same thing applies to the CCP, they have some communist bureaucratic structures aped from the soviets but their primary function is representing the Han Chinese.

> I guarantee you that you don’t actually need 450 fucking hours of video game
I'd probably agree, which is why I picked it with an order baked in.

Following that list, you
>get taught how to use controls in increasingly complex movement environments, so that you don't play a game before I'd think you'd have a reasonable shot at finishing it unsupervised
>get a wide variety of gameplay styles, from universal abstract 'game' to platforming to JRPG to indie puzzle game to 3rd person action to 1st person creative, etc., so you have the widest breadth of experiences for the time you're investing.
>Starts with games that are relatively short but have maximum cultural impact, and only slowly progress towards experiences which are increasingly longer and more niche, but useful to keep up with the times and major moments and genres in gaming history
>Hit many semi-modern and modern juggernaut IPs, while
>Intentionally skipping and ignoring the retro era (everything on MAME, Doom, RTSs, and almost everything pre-gamecube that isn't getting new games) as being dated references you don't need to spend much time on
>Avoid meat-grinder games like WoW and freeform time wasters that have amorphous or unclear endpoints FAR in the future, so you know when to stop - or intentionally tells you how long to play in situations like Minecraft
Someone who followed the full list is BASICALLY up-to-the-minute in games, even if they missed a bunch of sequels, they'd be able to play them according to their interests quite easily or know what you're doing in them.

>people would rather talk to people with real hobbies instead of someone who played all these games and watched all these movies, no matter the generation.
Real hobbies is an extremely loaded term. In practice, yeah, people like people who have done more things. But the expectations to engage with your culture if you never have, substantively underlie and sabotage interactions before real hobbies would even come up.

The only other person I know who reads real literature is a girl who's into the whole Dark Academia thing, though it's not an obsession or posing as it is with most girls. She writes exceptionally well, and probably more intelligent than me. Fairly sure she reads more than me as well.
I do have another friend who reads, though it's mostly sci fi/fantasy, though he's isn't obsessed with it like most which is a relief. I just wish I could talk to people more about books, there's nobody but her.

I'm doing keto now and have less insulin response than anyone in hospice care. I have less palatable dopaminergic experience than a tree. Time drags on. Books fly off the shelves and I blink and they're dog eared on their last page. I can't see the end of the page I'm on. I see the sun rise and fall every day and night but no one grows with me. They decompose. They just get fatter and dumber after every McMeal and soul sucking advertisement. I hunger not. I lust not. I exist outside of time. Even my workouts feel like subtle strains on branches. I haven't read anything fiction but to tap out from the social ostracization in a campaign to politically rehabilitate myself back into the economy and family.

I'm trying to develop a reading habit,right now reading The Trial and The Forgotten Language
I'm a 22 yo zoomer

Hello, I'm a zoomer and I read (actual literature mind you, not children's or young adult level books)

This will sound like the "Le wrong generation argument" but I do feel bad that books are being phased out, but I guess that's just how history goes. The new replaces the old, I guess...

If you dislike Moby Dick, you might aswell stop reading literature alltogether.

>>18030972
Moby Dicke is boring. You should turn pages where you can enjoy it because life is so good outside of an English Teacher's truency radar.
Having so much fun reading LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE:
Frankenstein by Else Literary
The Bagavadgita by Elephant God Ghandi
The Great Gatsby by Concise Fitzgerald

HAVE YOU REALLY READ ALL
No I skimmed volumes on audiobooks and sat down to study the attention grabbing parts that struck me while cleaning the house.

20 years old, can't remember ever finishing any book but i always wanted to get into reading because when i do find something very interesting my mind gets into very pleasant flow of thoughts that nothing else could ever achieve.
i spend all of my time playing browsing youtuber, 4chan, playing games, browsing and collecting porn and also playing games. lately i go nearly every day into my bed with itchy body, biting the skin around my fingers and overall i feel absolutely terrible. i unironically feel like i am going insane.

i've tried multiple times in the past to find any book that could interest me but i can't find anything that would fit my personality i guess.

one of my favourite things in life is humour. do you know of any comedy book you'd recommend?

Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy
Try audiobook and pdf so you can get in the habit of continuing a book start to finish.
Eventually you'll sperg about details like settings on your e-reader and page annotations on physical copies of books you can't find else where. That sperging is when you know you made it. You're not going back to Normieland, you've made yourself at home among KNOWLEDGE
