Because there's nothing new being released, other than e-celeb shit like Gardner, Mike, or Waldun. They're literally all the new content we have to talk about lol. Best we can hope for is for stuff to get translations

i do wish that /lit/‘s culture was a bit more fluid/changing
used to always have a flavor-of-the-month along with the omnipresent shit (everyone was always reading joyce and pynchon and wallace but sometimes you’d get arabs or whitehead or ellul)
now it’s basically the same few subcultures always around
almost feels like people are more self-aware of what group they’re in and consciously identify with it

>>18-19 year old narcissists, still
Hey, I was one of those last year but as soon as I turned 20 I felt my self-esteem plummet. I suppose everyone who thinks themselves a bit precocious does but no-one warned me about it.
Also:

It used to be dreadfully slow and so full of pretentious assholes that the only thing that was allowed to exist were book clubs reading the hot, the new, and the undiscovered. Terra incognita as far as /lit/ is concerned was fair ground, someone had to find out exactly how shitty it was.

/lit/ is a horrible board that has no value whatsoever. You have a better chance at discussion literature on /a/ of all places.

As far as I can gather, this board is nothing more than a containment board for "enlightened" faggots that get a dopamine rush whenever an author circle-jerks with the reader.
>this paragraph has some deep meaning!
>that book literally changed my life!
>my brain chemicals go into a frenzy whenever some literal-who share the same thoughts as me!
/lit/ is such a fucking joke at this point. I actually have to go to different boards to actually discuss and reads books. Any person who denies it at this point are just being delusional of the situation.

>> No.19593088

>>19592984
/lit/ is utter shit but I have to admit that I still browse it because once in a while a good book get recommended. Every discussion about philosophy or society however is a fireworks of retarded screeching, for that reason I wish these threads would get more consistently deleted

>>19592849
I think the problem is that those who have more interesting things to say tends to be quieter and not start threads. I feel like if you really want to change the board culture you should go ahead and make thread regularly about whatever you want to see more of
