why do people waste their time on this pathetic board? the only reason real reason someone should come on here is for book recs

Once every few months there will be a thread with good discussion (last one I can recall was the one on highbrow/lowbrow differences). Years ago you'd have a decent thread once a week or so.

Browsing /lit/ has become a habit.

>>i spend more time talking about books I've never read than reading
So that means I know I've got a lot to learn

>>i post book charts full of books I'll never read
So I have good taste, because these charts are terrible

>>i post pics of my bookshelf which I've only read one book from
So I have a lot of choice to entertain myself

>>im a pseud and only read to appear smart
So I don't only read to appear inane

It is a convenient venue to practice my form and develop my voice without the anxieties involved in attempting to produce serious essay- or short-story or novel writing for consumption by others. I enjoy the ephemerality of the forum, and how I can give earnest life advice in one post, and imply that all weebs are pedophiles in the next. Nothing I say here is preserved for posterity, and that is a lovely thing.

Even now, I get all sorts of book and author recommendations from this board. I'd have no idea who Pessoa was if it weren't for /lit/.

I only come here to ask whose panties I should sniff first sand to tell cunts if they’re based or retarded, also if I see a good book or book collection posts I’ll save the images of the great ones :)
