If you guys claim to be so into literature why do you stick with only one genre?
And of all things why is that genre FANTASY? You could at least have picked a genre with more intelligence and substance, like mystery novels. Instead you choose rubbish about little prancing elves and wizards.

Anyone who almost exclusively reads that kind of insubstantial crap can't call themselves a true fan of literature, much less an avid reader. You are like this one girl at my uni who claims to be "interested in literature" yet her entire bookshelf consists of Twilight, manga, some games for Xbox, and a couple of the works of Dumas. Only owning TWO works of actual real literature does not make you an extensive reader.

It makes you a fucking faggot.
Pic related, what most of you insufferable and exhausting cunts do on the weekends.
