So I've only stayed around three hours here and I can say that you guys are pretty cool.

Though there isn't much /lit/ related threads so I'll make one :D

Let's make WAYRT - What are you reading today (like the WAYWT threads from /fa/) or do you guys have other terms for it?

Pic related for me.

Take your time with it. I felt the same way for most of it. In the end it was worth the effort.

I'm currently reading The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker. It seems like he never gets mentioned here for some reason.

Read the biography section and the section on his influence into today's Japanese literature already, and they were extremely informative. Going to start up the section on his renku soon.

Beloved by Toni Morrison. It's decent, but incredibly overrated by most people.

Reading His Dark Materials and loving it. No shame. Also read about 1/4 of the way into Titus Alone and then threw it out of the window. Probably start Frankenstein tomorrowwwwwwww.
