I have a confession to make /lit/:

Sometimes I comment on authors and works I've only partially read and/or looked at.

I'm sorry.

>> No.1593553

I do that all the time.

Sometimes, I've even been thanked for those insightful posts. I have also helped make the recommended French literature chart when this board first went up, despite the fact I've barely read any.

I am easily influenced by the opinions of others and convince myself I am wrong until I believe the standard interpretation

I think a lot of people do this OP. I would be lying if I didn't say that in conversations with professors and such that I'd talked about a book in great depth that I haven't even read (or I've read only a little bit of it). I talk about authors like Camus and Kafka all the time, although I've only read a very little bit of their work (although I am remedying that). I think as long as there is at least some knowledge behind what you're talking about, and you're not grossly misrepresenting and misquoting the authors, then it's fine.

I don't actually ever read though I want to, I have a huge list of authors and their prose, but I just can't read. I personally blame technology.

I just post on this board to troll.

What you mean by "partially read"? You mean that you have only read a chapter of the book, or that you have only read one or two books complete from that author?

>> No.1593722

You pussied out by not admitting that comment on authors and works that you've NEVER read/looked at.

Twilight is surprisingly like Ulysses, amirite?
Can you not overlook the similarities between Hamlet, the Ring of Gyges and Tintin?
