I have quit video games. I have quit drinking. I have quit drugs. I have started eating healthy, and I'm at the fittest I've ever been physically. Now all I have to do is teach myself to love reading again. What's your favourite novel, /lit/?

To genuinely love reading you would have to sacrifice some (not all) of your health in all those other things. Reading literature is compatible only with mild dysfunction.

Have sex instead of reading. Literature will cause long-term disillusionment and depression, pussy elevates the spirit.

Why do you think I had to quit all these vices in the first place?

These are terrible recommendations. What did you like reading before? I'd just read similar stuff to what you liked as a kid and then move into actual books.

Also, kill all notifications on your smartphone - it'll help.

Sex is pointless without love and a plan for creating a family. I've banged my share of tinder whores and random slags, only an incel could think pussy elevates the spirit. I wouldn't say no to a loving relationship though

Found the larping incel. Woman isn't capable of loving her man unconditionally, only her children. Of course you'd know this if you had any dating experience.

None of that means anything if you haven't quit your addiction to masturbation and/or sex.

It has been a gradual process over a couple years. Also, frogposting and animeposting are equally bad on a literature forum
