If the majority of what you read is fantasy, would you feel more comfortable at a board more specifically related to your interests, such as /tg/? If not, could you request a board that deals only with books about trolls and elves? I am sick of this shit.

I kind of agree with this guy.

How many threads about the Game of Swords do I need to skip over before they stop coming?

>> No.1472902

Is literature only contemporary fiction now?

Fantasy is literature.

>>1472904
But your primary interest is not literature but fantasy.

I've only ever read the hobbit and I totally disagree with this. Should we tell people to stop talking about DFW, FD, LT, or CB because they get alot of threads? Are you saying that you don't get enjoyment from reading, and those that enjoy reading things are wrong? Why do you read then?

Sorry to break this to you, but:

Literature-writings in which expression and form, in connection with ideas of permanent and universal interest, are characteristic or essential features, as poetry, novels, history, biography, and essays.

Or if you didn't like that one, pick any other one that you want.

I like old fantasy and fairy tales, but my god, the stuff they churn out today is 90% shit. I don't want to wade through shit to find a nugget of gold.

The board isn't that active, don't make it worse.

Yes that is exactly what I am saying. I despise all reading material of any kind. I think we can all agree that this board has been shit as of late. And I think that can be credited to the fact that a good portion of the posts are about books. The thing I hate most about reading is comprehension, when you read something and understand the meaning. I think if we eliminated this, we could find any meaning what so ever in what ever we read. So, you say you enjoy sucking cock. Why do you do this?

Thats why people have done it for you....

>> No.1472945

Nobody on this board can tell the difference between books and literature.

They probably think movies and films are the same thing, too.

Really? Because on here, the majority of the fantasy I see recommended is crap. I'll stick with my William Morris and Lord Dunsany, thank you.
I'll admit that some of the modern fantasy I've been hearing about seems interesting, but I've been burned one too many times.
