I wanted to hear out those I deeply disagree with. It made me realize the so-called "anti-racists" are much more hateful and spiteful than I thought.

Currently reading "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson, and I might have time for one more by the end of the year.
Some are repeat-reads.

Why would you? Why would anyone?

>> No.19608895

I read nothing bc I got depressed upon realizing that I can only enjoy old literature past it's prime and new lit is just woke moralization of self victimization gibberish, otherwise you can only read trash mainstream lit and mediocre genre lit or super niche stuff that will never sell, get picked up by critics, or discussed by anyone who isn't as autistic as I am.

>> No.19608914

>>19608895
And you've read ALL of old literature?
Don't be melodramatic!
Pick up a book and stfu.

I'll try in the coming year, I've just been turned off that that is all I can do though since there's no notable lit trends that aren't pandering garbage
