I don't need hours. I just reread the same books over and over again, allowing me to skim a book while preserving my identity as a "reader."

>Oh really? I absolutely loved his trilogy, how they relate traditional fantasy dragons and teenage eroticism under Kantian formalism was really impressive. What's your take on this?

>I dunno, Kant isn't the end all, be all, y'know? I'm a big fan of traditional fantasy dragons and teenage eroticism but sometimes you have to take a step back and reevaluate the existing philosophical and literary giants and that sort of thing, it's the natural progression of knowledge and thoughts, but yeah good trilogy even if it has its roots in Modern thinkers compared to the Postmodern era we live it
