/lit/ - Literature

I read BNW when I was 12, I read 1984 when I was like 9.

I don't think that you can really put an age on literature though, there's a girl in my philosophy class why read Finnegan's Wake at 14.

That's what she told you at least. But on the other hand, we all might just be illiterate and stupid...

There's a difference between reading and understanding.

A computer can read text, but that doesn't mean it understands what it is reading.

I know a couple of girls who read Finnegans Wake and Ulysses as teens.
The first one was a moron so if she did read them I have no doubt that she didn't understand a word and just tells people about it to sound intelligent.
Turned out the second one never read Ulysses. She just had it on a shelf in her house and assumed she must have read it at some point. I made her realise this when I asked her about it and she couldn't remember a single thing.

You should have offered to read it to her while you fucked her silly, silly.
