>Asking since your tastes in general are pretty much defined for life after adolescence ends.

whoever told you that is an idiot and flat out wrong. and no 22 is not too old

DEFINE "TOO LATE".

Not at all. And literature is about learning and growing, not taste.

I'm 21 and just got started, I have that same feeling

it's never too late to rid yourself of plebdom

sure most of the elitists here were reading the classics at 16 but i think proper understanding only comes as an adult with more life experience

I agree, I'm now 28, I re-read books I read at 16 and find completely new layers. Can't wait how it's going to be like in 40 years!

Harold Bloom started as a kid.

Only for true untermenschen. As a human and generally as a life-form you have the potential to evolve and change throughout your lifespan. Those who throw their hands up and give up at change only limit their potential.

Yes you fucking faggot, you can get into anything at any age. Infact, it is healthy to challenge yourself with new material and experiences, and will make you a more developed person.

>>6025126
Taste can always be acquired. Disciple to read is what you may lack forever.

That's not true.

so what, you expect to still be into anime at age 52?

i'd have hoped you would have already grown out of it by 22, though.

>>6025126
I started getting into literature seriously when I was 22. I read occasionally when I was young, maybe like a couple books a year but barely anything during my teens. Now I'm reading like 6 books a month and still can't get enough. Its never too late.

>>6025260
hey man, that's not nice

he didn't get fat until recently, anyways

>>6025282
You just get into better anime faggot

>>6025239
What about rei seems schizophrenic?

>>6025307
>not loving anime and literature

it must be really satisfying not having any joy in your life because of some false notion of intellectualism, faggot

>>6025329
I kinda agree, anime might be more simple and for a younger audience but that shouldn't stop you from enjoying it. Everyone has some kind of guilty mindless entertainment they partake in.

>Is being 22 too late to start getting into _____
this is one of those irrational things people constantly ask themselves, maybe it's to have an excuse if they suddenly don't feel like it or not, i don't know.
I can safely say that it's never too late for anything, and you will realize that when you're 30 years old and think back.

>tfw thought being 18 was too late to start lifting
why was i such a fucking retard

im 21 and never watched an anime, tell me a good series to watch right now plz

>>6025849

Death Note. It's surprisingly intelligent (for an anime) and it is the only anime I ever gave a shit about anyways. Watch the first two episodes and if you want to stop watching stop, but you won't.

It does a get a little shit at the end though.

>implying that using your muscles is bad
pleb

Not for normal humans but science seems to indicate the "weebs" are subhuman and can never appreciate anything except on a base, perverted level, much like a dog enjoying humping the postman's leg.

What a cutie.
I wouldn't rec monogatari for beginners though, because it has a lot of references and meta-ish humor.
Katanagatari is great even for beginners though, same guy, gorgeous art style.

If there was more than one reason to bodybuilding you would have mentioned it instead of shifting the goalposts.

>>6026012
>getting healthy
>getting strong
>getting confidence
All of which are just as valid as
>getting muh puss

>>6026047
All of which are achieveable with actual sports, where you develop skills and experience camaraderie.

bodybuilding is a mindless activity and a grind for the foolish.
atleast be honest to yourself.

>>6026012
>why do you lift weights?
because i enjoy it
>why do you read books?
because i enjoy it
>why do you care about the arts?
because i enjoy it
>why don't you care about politics?
because i don't enjoy it

Woah, revolutionary!

>>6026056
>implying that i want or have access to sports
>implying that bodybuilding isnt enjoyable
>implying that sports are superior at building and maintaining strength

>>6026056
Lifting weights is not a sport?
And sports in general have a heavier focus on stamina and technique than power. I like getting stronger, and i'll play team sports if i want to.

>>6026073
also,

>Is being 22 too late to start getting into literature?

I read my first book at 24.

>Asking since your tastes in general are pretty much defined for life after adolescence ends.

People's fetishes change all the time.

No OP. I used to read primarily horror and short stories. I stopped reading for years after dabbling in non-fiction and pseudo philosophy druggie books in my late teens. I started reading last year (I was also 22 actually) again and now my favorite author is william gaddis or jonathan swift. I always had an interest in books, though.

>>6027047
A heartwarming story

>>6027050
should I write a heartwarming and revolutionary book about my journey, in which I embellish my ineptitude and internet life? A greentext debut on the literary scene? I'll title it

>Be me

>>6027047
>pseudo philosophy druggie books

wut, you mean stuff like Alan Watts?

>>6027072
Terance McKenna, Alan Watts, Hunter Thompson, Aldous Huxley, scizo tinfoils like David Icke and Graham Hancock
