/lit/ - Literature

but I read fiction because I don't enjoy life.

stop running away from your problems

stop reading fiction

>>9147368
Its raining where should i go

>>9147377
even going to the kitchen and getting water in an infinite loop is more beneficial than reading fiction

>reading fiction

>implying reading isn't 'enjoying life'
>implying time can be 'wasted'

>>9147389
Thanks for being a faggot and reminding me to get off 4chan

>>9147391
you are running away from your problems by avoiding carnal pleasures and deluding yourself that you do something more productive and "meaningful" by reading some russian virgins diary

>>9147401
But what if my problems stem from indulging carnal pleasures?

>>9147414
they dont

you just lack resources

you can never go wrong with carnal pleasures

>>9147368
Reading fiction at night regularly relaxes me and makes me enjoy the rest of my life a whole lot more.

>>9147424
it probably does when you are an old fart and have nothing to live for

this thread isnt meant for dead people (+30 yo)

>>9147423
>never go wrong with carnal pleasures

recovering sex addict here

you're a fucking idiot

There's no such thing as 'waste of time'

>>9147434
Life is working, playing, resting. What do you recommend for resting?

>>9147439
i think i got bamboozled rofl!

>Whats the point of lit?
why do people go out on a boat for the day?

you can do anything in books "much more than the average 1000 people combined do, feel, think, say, and more, its all about experiences, enjoyment, leisure, fun, interest/intrigue, escape, journey of yourself, another and the world; they are (part of) "The Entertainment", "The Infinite Jest", Novels are parts of The Matrix

ITT: retards get baited

OD on heroin right now and spare us your IQlet dionsyian blabber.

Everytime I try to go out and do things I wish I were reading a book instead

>>9147368
>it wont make you smart
>people wont respect you more
>you wont learn anything new
If these are the reasons you read then no wonder you consider it a waste of time. Fiction is wasted on plebs with this mentality.

>>9147453
This is 4chan,anon. If nobody responded to bait there would be about 2 active threads trickling at 3 posts per day

>>9147449
you can run away from your shitty life and read irrelevant drivel that wont change anything about your situation

dfw killed himself because he realized how pathetic sitting in your room alone jerking off and writing is

as a man, if you write/read you are probably gay or just lack testosterone

>>9147401
>projection that powerful
Stop memeing on anime forum and go deal with your insecurities.

because your life is shit

why do you think 99% of harry potter readers are 20-30 yo obese women

>>9147485
[citation needed]

Middle age women read Pride and Prejudice and Shades of Grey because their lives are shit.

Teenage girls read harry Potter because their lives are shit.

Get it right.

>>9147482
why did you delete it?

no one gives a fuck about your edits you deluded fuck

attaching some shitty painting wont make your post any more valuable

art and fiction books should get burried underground

>>9147485
>because your life is shit

How do I get better life?

>>9147510
ugly face? be born rich
you arent born rich? get a decent degree (no liberal arts shit)
you are too dumb to get a STEM degree? read infinite jest and try not to kill yourself like the author

>>9147510
Live more. I.E.,sfop being a dead guy and be am alive guy now. Your life depends in it!

I tried to see if I could quickly find a bigger version of that klimt picture, because its a shame I dont have it and couldnt find it so that it can be seen very large. Your comments are bewildering to anyone of intelligence so they need not even be mentioned by me. Please direct your farts towards a window, "good" sir.

Congratulations, you have made consecutively, of their own merit, two of the worst posts in 4chan history.

>>9147523
>in it

why are you so dumb? Get back to reading tolstoy or whatever.. 10k more pages and you might realize how hopeless you are

>>9147368
>implying reading isn't the best way to enjoy life

Sounds to me like you aren't an intellectual, OP.

>>9147527
>intelligence
>klimt
>good sir
