I made a friend on fanfiction.net in 2007-ish because we both wrote for the same fandom, but that doesn't really count as literature

I have remained friends with an English professor I had for 3 semester at community college. We meet every 2-3 weeks via zoom and read together. So far we have read the Aeneid and the first two books of the divine comedy. We start paradise tonight actually. Been friends for going on 5 years. There is a 40 year age gap between us but it’s a comfy relationship.

Yes. I read Stoner by John Williams and thought, “Stoner, you got a fren in me.” Then I cried when my fren dies at the end and I’m alone again. That was a rough week

yes, i had a girlfriend once who i met basically because of our mutual love of books
we used to buy books for each other all the time, and read to each other, and visit places associated with literary figures and so on
unfortunately she was crazy and not always in a good way. eventually we split up and i married a girl with big tits instead.

these were some of the saddest parts in my struggle for me. he’s whining about how he doesn’t have any friends, but then he has 2-3 close friends he talks to about literature every day. life is suffering

I'm lanklet I can't seem to get any interest, I try not to act like an idiot, dress well, I think my sense of humour has been flattened by years of neglect. I can never seem to follow up on anything. 27 and this is getting nightmare mode esque. My town is like 20k people only though
