Should I give up reading genre fiction, /lit/?

I am in my 30's now and it's starting to feel...empty.

if you read for entertainment you might as well quit reading all together and just play videogames or something. If you actually have a reason that you read then you shouldn't even need to ask this question.

Not before you read Call of the Crocodile and Jigoku by F. Garnder, it might even reignite your love for genre fiction

I’m constantly trying to figure things out and books can help. I also need to be more focused and be able to use words because I am a failure at every other form of expression.

Where does any scientists or discovery come from other than the impetuous to find proof of a conclusion. Where does that drive come from? Ideas , imagination, intuition. Fiction reaches into the unknown to pull out something material from nothing. Everything is art that is human. Im really drunk.

genre fiction has mostly been taken over by childbrain libtards, and so their books are at the reading level of children. write your own book. i'm not saying that facetiously, it's fun

Yes. Read some non-fiction. It will bring the joy of reading back into your life.

After awhile, reading genre fiction is like binge watching Netflix. It all starts to run together after awhile.
