>so you're telling me your only hobby is reading? LMAO No wonder why your prose is so shit. Talk with people. Watch moves. Listen to opera. Nobody likes a book-worm writer

You do spend time doing something other than reading, right, Anon?

Of course, I watch copious amount of anime and I also masturbate (to doujinshi exclusively, as I find the porn industry's practices inhuman)

in the days of old only aristocrats and monks sat around and read and wrote. The plebeians, when not working, have always been at the stadium watching violence mindlessly as they stuff their mouth with wine and intestines.

First of all, don't watch basedboy marvel movies, second of all, good prose isn't necessarily a realistic way of talking.

It's a plausible stylistic choice. Joyce spelled it no-one. Personally I have long felt that eachother should be one word.

/lit/ is essentially illiterate when it comes to history.
ill explain something very basic that no on else in this thread grasps, because you all only read the laziest pophistory or wikipedia articles.
in Rome, the games were attended by all classes.
this was a big deal. the seating was segregated by class so that they didnt interact too much, but both sides were still more or less mingling.
part of what made the games so important was: it was one of the few ways some illiterate prole could actually speak to the Emperor. you could literally shout at his box. he would hear you. he might shout back.
at the games, the population would often express their displeasure with the Emperor's policies. they would boo officials they disliked. it was direct communication between leader and subjects.
everyone went to the games. slaves, freedman, plebs, patricians, proles, equestrians, senators, the emperor himself. everyone. there was no class that abstained or was excluded
