You need to find better books. Same with vidya and movies, I could consume everything when I was younger now I am more picky

This paragraph describes most of the humanity. People very much live with delusional ideas of doing things instead of actually doing them. This applies to everything, not just reading.

I’m not a faggot who uses tumblr, so I can’t relate.

I read, constantly. Problem is, I pretty much don't do anything else. I would never refer to me as a reader person or ready as a hobby. I would not say either it's my more pleasurable activity (at all moments). I read because I have to and because I must unveil the books a I'm yet to read. That's my reason.

Mostly yeah but I try. It helps to go read somewhere with no internet connection or phone to distract me

I think of myself as a reader and a writer even though I primarily read wikipedia and write imageboard posts.

I wish I'd spent the time watching films. Or learning to draw, but learning to draw would take both patience and effort while films would just be patience.

I fucking hates these cents. Also the gifted child larpers.

imagine how pathetic you have to be to fellate yourself over chasing the coattails of your unremarkable youth. kill yourself!

Stop projecting your own weaknesses onto me in an attempt to drag me down with you so that you can somehow justify your pathetic behavior as being relatable. You created this Hell, now get out if it yourself.

>omg i read a goosebumps a day when i was young! i used to be such a genius!
So sick of this stupid fucking meme. Nobody is preventing you from reading, only your computer induced attention disorder.

>I read therefore I am

I was never like this weirdly
I stopped reading books from about 14 to 17 and I never saw my identity as involving reading
When I discovered /lit/ at 18 I just started reading the books that /lit/ recommended and found myself getting back into the hobby and 8 years later I'm still reading daily
The only problem I have is that sometimes I read too much non fiction even though I prefer fiction

Not my problem.

Just read bro.
I recently re-discovered my love for reading by going into history. I found a old history book and started going through it. I'm 300 pages in, 300 left to go, in the meanwhile I read a 350 page novel about war, Red Army, I think, by some amerifag, 400 pages of conan, a 150 pages of Sumeran tales.
All in all, its been a mixture of what I'm interested in and heavy nostalgia-tripping.

I browse /mu/ more than I listen to music and listening to music is my favorite thing to do. Same applies to this board.

It's what/how/why you read that constitutes a 'hobby,' not reading itself.

The ultimate plebs

And you can tell they never faced any true adversity because they just sit around talking about how smart they were as kids
