Imagine reading books when you can form your own opinions. Everyone on this board is a fucking sheep. Whitman said it best: "You shall no longer take things at second or third hand.... nor feed on the spectres in books.."

Picrelated is the average /lit/fag. When will you guys admit that you read books just because you can't get laid, or experience life first-hand in general?

I always admitted it. The noncels are the plague of this board.

Don't you want to change? Do you want to spend your entire life as a slimy invertebrate picrelated that only reads about what other people have thought and done?

You shouldn’t be afraid to hear/read someone else’s point of view or ideas, to never consider new perspectives and information is the height of hubris. However, I agree that many on /lit/ rigidly follow the doctrine of others in order to feel apart of something larger and defer to the authority of an already respected thinker.

I barely ever read books until I started having sex regularly, especially philosophy.

No. I got my share of human experiences, I wasn't always like that but now I just want to cut ties with society as much as possible. I also write so I'm in not only a consumer.

I had to quote some fagbook otherwise I risk getting banned.

Keep living life through some ink on paper and your fantasy. The average /lit/fag like you (picrelated) isn't meant to reproduce. Have you ever had sex?

“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.” -R.W. Emerson.

I read not to build my opinions, but to opinionate on those built by the writer. Perhaps you should try it yourself, it may cure your apparent indolence.
