So do blank pages. In fact, I bet you can look at thousands and thousands of blank pages in the time it takes you to read one of these books. The only difference is that you're less likely to get dumper by looking at blank pages.

You said that it's not good to criticize people for reading what you like. I assumed that you think the same about criticizing someone doing anything he likes, as it would be absurd to limit the rule for literature, so I pointed out to the fact you broke your rule when you criticized me for criticizing your taste in books.

What's the 'no' for? I didn't ask a question.

Here's a question: why do you criticize what I'm doing to you and your taste in books, which I enjoy, if you don't want me to do the the same to you concerning what you like to read?

In other words, why do you think only your taste is sacred and not mine, especially since you seem to admit that your is based on pure sentimentalism, rather than research and effort?

There's no problem with it. You can do as you please, however, in a discussion of literature I find it incredibly immature that you would take the time to shit on someone's choice in books. Why not suggest something you think is better? Or discuss why you think these books are bad?

You're simply trying to twist the logic of my argument to suit your needs. IE: I say you can't criticize my tastes (which I never said you couldn't) which means through some twisted level of reasoning that I can't say to you: stop disliking what I like.

See what we're doing here? You're trying to grasp for a higher level of debate when this topic clearly isn't about that. You wanna discuss the merits of certain books? Fine, lets do it. But cut the bullshit please, its tiring.

No tastes are sacred here buddy, but clearly I have a certain taste in books that you do not share. Needless to say, you won't share with us what it is you do like. Its a vicious cycle we've got here.

Like you, I didn't order you to stop read these books, I told you that doing so bad and that you shouldn't do it.

In the time it takes to read the entire series, you can read a chapter from one of the works of, say, Evelyn Waugh or James Joyce, and still have tens, maybe hundreds, of hours to invest in worthwhile activities, such as physical training, gardening (or farming), hiking, visiting family and friends etc, all while having a higher, albeit concentrated, dose of literature that what the other choice offered

Why asking? There's nothing significantly challenging about Waugh's oeuvre or Joyce's earlier efforts, which are superior to what came after. If you're challenged by that, than wasting your time on such series as the above is the least of your problems.

I agree (minus the exaggerated estimation of surplus hours). Just because I do something doesn't mean it's good. My actions are not the criteria for good and bad. This is also true for the nerds here. Just because you enjoy the series doesn't make reading it a worthwhile vocation.

Guys please do not reply to this guy. Obviously he's flaming other people for the sole purpose of flaming. I can't see how he can read all the classics he claims to be proficient at, seeing that he spends his time on /lit/ looking for fantasy threads to flame. Stop being offended by him, he's not worth ruining a thread. Just like every faggot on /lit/, the only thing they want is attention. Don't give them this pleasure.

You spend your time on 4chan flaming people, so you're at least as nerdy as the people you're flaming. (pic related) Also nobody cares about your criteria that make an activity worthwhile, people just want to enjoy themselves and you're a retard for flaming them for that.
