Entertainment. I don't really care about all the "luk at me i red buk i smart" that seems to be really rather prevalent here.

>tfw the board is riddled with pseudo intellectuals and pretentious twats that probably don't even read outside of a starbucks while flashing their Nietzsche.

Enjoyment. Why do you read?

>> No.5848132

>>5847469
I can't stand TV-series, films or anime any more.
Don't really like computer games and it hurts my shoulders.
Makes me feel better than other people.
No other hobbies interest me.

Youre trying very hard yourself to be special right now. Listen to yourself. There is nothing wrong with trying to improve yourself and getting smart, youre inferring the "luk at me i red buk smart" part, maybe youre repressing something?
Maybe youre saying "luk at me i red buk for fun I so authentic".

It's fun, a good way to pass the time. It's entertaining and thought-provoking at the same time.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. It's sad how all so many elitists think they're superior just because they read X or Y.

I hear good writers read. I'd like to expand and experiment with different styles. So basically i read great classics and pretentious modern authors so i can copy their style.
