I read your post. I'm thinking about it. When it comes to me I will make a reply. Get out while you can before it's too late.There is the rare good thread every so often but on /lit/ it's mostly shitposting and egoistic masturbation, groupthink, and stop liking what I don't like. I've been here since the beginning and nothing has changed.

Whatever you thought, it's wrong.

i agree it all is.

Any ideas about that feeling books give you? ive never gotten the same from movies/vidya or music.

I'm guessing that brilliant ideas are better conveyed in literature. In film and vidya they will be dismissed as being "overanalyzed" though they may be present.
