Hey /lit/. New to thread, so try to not troll as much the fag.
I've always liked literature, but... I can't ever finish a book. I seem to lack some sort of 'spark', one that would make me interested in the book. I need to read 3 books this year, for school works and shit, and I'm so shitty at picking up books... And I thought you people could help. Any suggestions?

As I said, I finished a few, but I never though had that pleasure, and I was wondering if there was any book that could change that

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 24 14:31:07 2012 No.3005180 dude, just give up. reading isn't for you

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 24 14:53:19 2012 No.3005230 I was thinking of maybe reading The heart of darkness by Joseph Conrad, is that a good book?
