>you read any form of genre fiction
I devour old cheap pulp mags.
>you barely know your classics
I'm not romantic. Big names don't impress me.
>you tend to believe that if you like a given work, it is justified on an artistic level
I don't get "art".
>you think everyone's opinion should be accepted and respected
Nah, critics' opinions aren't just that important.
>you speak a single language
3, but I tend to speak the most colloquial forms.
>you read contemporary versions of Shakespeare or Milton
Haven't read either at all, lol.
>you read for the plot
ofc
>you read for entertainment
ofc
>you rarely read nonfiction
I rarely read fiction, because I don't care for the "art" of thing. I like knowing stuff.
>you don't have a solid grounding in philosophy
Haven't touched Plato since highschool, and pretty much think those sort of guys are overrated like cult leaders.
>you do not at least have some understanding of the Three Tragedians and Homer
Nope, I love Aristophanes tho, love comedy.
>you have little to no understanding of literature outside of your cultural horizon
What is my cultural horizon?
>you have little to no understanding of literature within your own cultural horizon (muh african authors)
Again, dunno.
>you mostly read contemporary literature
I mostly read short scientific articles and newspieces.
>you believe 'the author is dead'
Yeah, I care what I get from something not what the maker thought he was putting there.
>you make your literary analysis proceed from ideology
Don't even follow a school of thought.
>you think intricate prose is 'pretentious' and that the author 'should just get to the point'
Damn straight, I don't like to dillydally.
>your rarely read poetry
Try never.
>you think Rhythm and Rhyme is just useless rules and laws restricting creativity
I like those things in songs, I don't bother trying to sound them out in my head.
>you have a hard time explaining why you like a given work
I don't try to.
>you have a hard time forming structured and relevant literary criticism
Dislike critical theory.
>you tend to refuse to judge works for yourself, rather relying on the opinions of literary authorities
I disrespect literary authorities, I like my own judgement best.
>you rarely read for more than one or two hours straight
I haven't read a book in 5 days.

>>11608400
tallis is the reason i came here actually. i used to post on /mu/ in 2011-2013 and Tallis posted in the classical music threads. Occasionally the conversation would turn to art or philosophy and I would have like 3 hour arguments with him about stuff, wherein he'd occasionally dredge up old /lit/ threads to prove some point or other. The way he argued was hilarious

>> No.11608429

>>11608418
yeah it got so bad he could derail pretty much any thread on /lit/ just by posting in it. People hated him. I guess we didn't know then how much worse this board could get.

>> No.11608452

>>11608429
he had a similar sort of meme status on /mu/ except that /mu/ is much more, or was back then i havent browsed in years, sequestered into the various genres and types of threads. It was more like a handful of boards operating all at once honestly, occasionally overwhelmed by some album release.

I always liked Tallis despite his shitposting, he was genuinely smart and he brought counterpoints to my views back then that at least challenged them.

its been about 12 hours since i last tortured my dick while fapping and as far as i can tell it has almost fully recovered, back to a pretty much normal color and i feeling has returned, i'm scared to sleep though i don't want to wake up tomorrow and find out my cock is necrotic, but i think im gonna make it
