I’m a Zoomer who reads frequently, but I will admit that I don’t know many people my age who actually read or enjoy it when they do read something. That being said, aside from professors, I don’t actually know anyone of any age who reads as a hobby or actually enjoys reading. Is it actually generational or is reading just niche? Old fucks, have you noticed a decrease in reading for fun? Increase or decrease? I’m 21 for reference so probably a little older than those who are typically thought of as Sooners, but I’m still gen Z.

I'm technically a zoomer, and many other zoomers that I know also read.
We're nerdy dudes tho, and it's a pretty eclectic mix of material that we read.
A lot of the /lit/core stuff is highly regarded by the zoomers I know, since they also happen to use this shithole. I think that might be a common thread among zoomers who actually read, they will get their recommendations from the internet, including here.
People who read in the future are going to be an increasing concentrated outcast class, and will be attracted to places and literature that reflects that. Hence weirder lit will be popular. Those who read YA will eventually drop out of reading, that sort of reading is not going to make it in the era of minecraft letsplays and so on, it provides the same stimulation but requires much more effort.
/lit/ is unironically going to have a say in what this generation considers essential.

Yeah, there will be a large market for that type of character, since that will be "literally me" for many people. It's a very specific type of alienation that is only now entering the public consciousness, though it has been at play for a while.
Play it right and it could easily be the Holden Caulfield of our time

Millennials were brought up and primed to read and some still do in adulthood, mostly genre fiction and YA trash though. A fair number read broadly and non fiction is popular but reading is an exclusive niche for the solitary and reasonably intelligent or ancillary to a hobby or interest.

>>14261931
>>14261982
I'm with you there. It'll be millennial memoirs and weird fiction dealing with the alienation the early internet brought that captures the interest of a lot of you poor souls. You were born into it, we were forged by it when it was a secrit club for the 10 percent of the population with a computer. It wrecked my cohorts and when it went mainstream, it broke normalfags and the mentally unstable. Tumblr used to be where fujos posted Harry Potter fanart and not much else.

I expect lit to get a lot weirder once the trauma wears off a little more and someone starts the movement.

Green philosophy is the defining philosophy and zeitgeist for zoomers. The average zoomer is a woke socialist who thinks we need more green technology to save everyone, with the fringes consisting of ecofascists and green communists. Greta Thunberg is the Christ figure of our era.

>decentralized
In principle, but not in practice. There's only a few sites normies go to nowadays, and there was a time when the memes you would see on here would remain consigned here. When they were seen outside of 4chan, it was usually during raids, or to signal to others that they were part of this place. Despite being anonymous and not needing any sign ins, there was a sense of exclusiveness. Now, it's not really the same. All the normalfags know about it, have known for years. 4chan's memes are everywhere. It has become diluted by the incessant mingling of the outer "culture" with its own. I've been on the 4chan almost my entire miserable life and it has not changed for the better. Same goes for the internet itself.

CAMPAIGN IN RUSSIA: THE WAFFEN-SS ON THE EASTERN FRONT, the war time memoirs of Walloonie SS General Léon Degrelle:

https://archive.org/details/Campaign-in-Russia-Leon-Degrelle

Excellent book written in a very descriptive and exciting style. Highly recommended. If you only read one book by Degrelle or want a good starting point, make it Campaign in Russia.

Other good books by Degrelle:
HITLER FOR A THOUSAND YEARS (rare, about Degrelle's interactions with Hitler both before the war when he supported Degrelle's Rexist Party financially and during the war while Degrelle was serving in the SS):
https://archive.org/details/hftyr/page/n0
HITLER: BORN AT VERSAILLES:

HITLER, DEMOCRAT:

PART 2: LE VOLKSFÜHRER
https://www.bitchute.com/video/Sy9cuVZujMaw/
