ITT: your fondest memory of reading a book.

Once when I was reading a book my mum suddenly said "you're reading TyBrax! Well done for doing something smart for a change, you might just be bright yet!" then I felt good so I went outside into town to go to a coffee shop. But then I felt like everyone there was just normal people staring at me & that it probably wasn't a good place to meet hipsters so I went home. Then I cried & went to bed because /lit/ wasn't created back then.

What about you /lit/? Nice day at the park? Reading while someone caressed your hair? Amazing night in with some quality wine? Reading after some consensual sex with your long-time partner?

Let's hear it.

My memories of reading are, in general, of wandering around the hills of the city with my head in a book, taking in the view once in a while, and learning to view the world and take it as it was. I spent a lot of time doing that, summers - just going on a long walk with a book. Very enjoyable.

One day in particular - one of the most pleasant days in my life, in a very exact meaning of pleasant - when I woke up early, went out with a book, bought dim sum for breakfast quite cheap, and then walked over to a coffee shop and sat outside it, on a very sunny morning, just reading and drinking tea. Then going home and continuing to read at our kitchen table, solid and wooden, light filling the room, just making cups of tea and slowly sipping them. Then one of my friends called, and me and him and a girl drove over to this park in the city where I lived, which sits on a great ridge right over the ocean, and walked through it talking and taking in the beauty of the natural scenery. And then I think I did something that night as well, but I don't remember. It was a good day.

I remember when we went to Shop-Rite, I would always look for the latest Clifford The Big Red Dog book. In grade school, we had a program where you were required to read 70 books in a year and make a small report on each one, and I recall feeling proud after I finished that. I think it was 6th or 7th grade in which I first got interested in a collection of books, which were 'The Cat Who' series.

Not me reading but I remember when I was a kid, my dad read me a novel, where the characters (kids, I think) were climbing a mountain, and had to hold flowers to their faces for oxygen.

This is my most vivid memory of my dad. I never did remember what book it was, though.

Cross-legged reading an introduction to Heidegger on a girl's bed. She was playing WoW on her laptop in the room. She asked me what I was reading, I told her and of course she didn't have the slightest clue what I was talking about. I tried a little to explain being-in-the-world to her but it was utterly futile. I felt smart, alienated, and it was perhaps the first time I fully realised that to be a 'nerd' wasn't necessarily to be intelligent. I believe I drank a significant amount of jameson whiskey later, when she left for a while, and looked through her notes. Ironically enough she was studying a class a year ahead of me that I was profoundly interested in. She came back, we fucked, etc. A few weeks later she left the country, I never finished the introduction.

I was reading in a sort of abandoned (more like some nearby bank decided to buy it and do nothing with it and gated it up half-assed) park in my neighborhood, reading Dune. Some girl noticed me reading a book and a cheap acoustic next to me (I brought it around during school and played a couple of songs). She knew me from hearing a song at school and decided to hang out with me, whilist she read a book someone lended her. After several minutes, I decide to read a little of her book. Didn't really notice anything about it because I wanted to kiss her. As I got closer, she noticed what I was doing and returned the favor. We basically dropped our books and held each other in our arms, lips locked and tounges waltzing with one another.

Jargon is useful as a roadsign in discourse. I remember when a friend of mine accused me of name-dropping, it's stupid because all you're trying to do is guide a person's thought to what's being discussed specifically, coax out associations and so on.

And on the subject of humility; why should I be humble to people of lesser intellect than myself? Isn't that my choice? What morality motivates the idea that it's somehow more beneficent to wipe a dunce's ass for them than scold them? A goddamn slave morality is what I think

The fact is half of the halfwits on /lit/ don't know who Heidegger is, so they couldn't do that. But y'know, if I've talked about him (and probably called an anon a degenerate in the process) it has maybe inspired a few people to look him up and learn about him and his contribution to theory, perhaps in order to tell me I'm full of shit (misguided), and this is the enlightenment I hope to contribute to /lit/. Conflict, resolution, the playing out of age-old dialectic.

Granted, anyone who doesn't know about Martin Heidegger on this board from the get-go should be taken out and fucking shot, but let's assume I'm being lenient and a sort of loving patriarchical figure who never quite lost the practice of taking his belt to his children, towards idiot anons who frequent this board.

Personally, I cannot really understand how any English major can insist they are worth anything in their critical thinking if they are not, at least, the smallest bit acquainted with some of the heavy hitters: Husserl, Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, Fish, Foucault, Marx, Freud, Lacan.

Especially Kant and Heidegger. Criticism and theory in general seems to always revert back to Kant and Heidegger.

I don't understand how these kids are writing papers with no knowledge of the philosophic backgrounds supporting the language, themes and forms they try to write about in papers.

Freud wrote some amazing literary criticism. I'm not necessarily saying that one should put stock in critics such as Harold Bloom's work in the seventies; Freud's criticism, however, is invaluable to literature because of the coinage of literary phrases. For instance, Freud's essay "The Uncanny" is a landmark essay concerning the supernatural and eerie. Lacan also has interesting things to say about the formation of the mind.

That's true, but I don't believe anyone in the thread has said you have to be an English major to post here. I'm just commenting how surprised I am that kids at my university, graduating with bachelor degrees in English, have very little comprehension of philosophers and critics.

Just because he/she doesn't care for Harry Potter does not make him/her an elitist. Just because he/she does not care for the fantasy genre does not make him/her elitist. They have an understanding that the Potter novels are typically consider casual or light reading, more specifically for young adults. The books haven't, as of yet, reached the academic level.
The comment seemed appropriate, considering the context of the statement.

I read The Mist on a cruise to Alaska.

It's not a great book and the cruise wasn't very exciting, but for some reason it was really nice sitting out on the deck in the super-cold with nothing but ocean for miles.
