I read for two reasons. First, to see how great men have handled and come to terms with the Logos in the past, and how I can uncover that primordial invader myself. Second is to understand and experience human emotions that either I haven't or can't feel myself. I don't read romance novels, but I enjoy fiction that engages with mundane although slightly romanticized family affairs.

I read non-fiction because it contains more information on an interest. I read fiction because literature is often much better than tv or film for exploring themes. Writing gives the author more freedom than other forms of media as other forms are restrained by resources and working with a team

Lmao that's literally impossible. It's the same as saying btfo by a pig. Sure, the pig can ram into you and get you dirty, maybe even snort and grunt at you, but nobody with an IQ above 90 would call that getting BTFO. If you think /lit/ is smart then you are absolutely delusional, and that's why you're so good to laugh at.
