I don't read books that I disagree with.

I do. But I do so holding my hands up to my face, peeking at the text through my fingers in case I read something I don't like and need to quickly avert my gaze.

Then how do you know you disagree with them?

I read them but I give them a lower rating on Goodreads if I disagree with them, even if they are written well

>> No.19541763

Goodreads is bullshit. How can you compare YA novels x/5 and le classics x/5. You can't objectively compare Six of Crows (4.47) with Wuthering Heights (3.87).

Same but only when the clouds are out.

>> No.19541775

>>19541763
I dont give a fuck about the ratings personally, I just use it to keep track of my to-read list and I write a review for each book so that I don't forget how I felt about it

Even your enemy has insights, even if it is uncomfortable. Respect your competition, but outcompete them, and that requires outcompeting their own beliefs (of which you can learn a thing from yourself).

Yes you can retard. Six of Crows is 0.6 points better than Wuthering Memes.

I feel that. A dumb refrain I like to repeat to myself when reading something great: All of my best friends are dead.
If I actually knew any of these people I'd either hate them from envy, shrink from them for pride, or they would rightfully think nothing of me.
