Do you guys have any plan to do something with the information you from books, like making a novel of your own or something?

Seems kinda odd to me spend a ton of money on media and not make something out of it.

Do people that consume film always aspire to write and direct there own movie? Do people that watch documentaries always do something with that knowledge? It’s ok to just like something and consume it just to admire it isn’t it?

I intend to commit suicide, so I plan to study philosophy so that I can btfo of anyone that tries to make me a slave for their ideas of life with irrefutable arguments.

I'm into gothic and Tolkien, I'd like to write a book about gothic or Tolkien but I don't know how to write and I'll end up coming everything I read on books about gothic/Tolkien. So I'd rather enjoy them instead of wasting time on trying to write a book.

Yeah I'm a strangely productive writer. I've written to the tune of 400+ poems, two novels, and developed a mini philosophical system

I'm writing 2 books and plan to write 5 in total. I did not plan this at first, but the amount of info I've assimilated from my readings wants to morph into something original. It's like a natural urge.

I would like to write philosophy as well as create poetry and art but I often feel like I’m not nuanced or talented enough. I’m already 27. I had an interest always but I spent my formative years studying stuff I hate and wallowing in depression, drugs, and alcohol before I got deep into this literature thing at 25 when the existential crisis peaked. These things probably would’ve manifested themselves earlier if I had a real talent for them after all. It feels that no matter what I did from this point on, I missed my window and I’ll never get to erase the fact that I was a bug trying to get a business degree and be a banker or some other worthless shit for my intellectually formative years.

Yes I do write, but I also only keep books around that I’ve already read and liked and plan to re-read. Most stuff I read I trade back or sell. I don’t like keeping massive “stacks” off books I haven’t read yet around, it reeks of pseudery. My personal library only consists of a couple hundred books.

(Self-replying), I really do think the production of art and critical thought is a type of sickness, in both a good and bad way, but it is by no means healthy. I can't stop. It's a vice and profoundly neurotic behavior.

No. I'm not creative. I enjoy reading and watching movies. They're just a hobby like anything else. How else should I occupy my time? Stories are fun.
