Most people here don’t, they’re just pseud tourists that watch summaries on YouTube.

Poetry is the only thing I read apart from obscure mystical texts. Poetry is the acme of literature; the novel is inherently degenerate- Cervantes was a subversive non-entity. The novel is a sign of decline and should've never been invented. The poetic form is closest to the gods. Learn French. Never read a novel again (with rare exceptions) and spare yourself.

Epic poetry yes, very frequently. ‘Normal’ poetry yes, but only sometimes.

I only read poetry, orations and sermons. Any other form of writing is degenerate pleb garbage, especially the "novel" *vomits*
