Greetings from /mu/, c/lit/izens.

Do you guys make, like, BOTY lists like we do with albums?

Also, you seem like a cute board, and I plan on doing a lot of lurking for the rest of my winter holiday.

As long as you don't do any posting.

Not a lot of people here read contemporary stuff, much less keep up with contemporary works that current. The difference is that an album takes at the very most an hour and a half to listen to, you can do it while driving or cleaning or whatever, and re-listen to it later to evaluate again, but a book you have to sit down and focus on what's in it, plus, if you're the type of reader to do so, evaluating what it's doing in terms of plot, character, theme, etc. The bottom-line investment of time and thought for a book is greater than for an album (or a song, for that matter, some might only listen to one or two to judge if the artist/s even to their taste) so il/lit/erates tend to be more reserved in their choices.

Yeah. /mu/ doesn't exactly have the best reputation amongst the boards I tend to frequent, I wouldn't be surprised if most of /lit/ has the same opinions.

>> No.3285145

>>3285067
O-o-okay..

>>3285123
I see. Seems like a legitimate analysis. I kind of cringed when you implied that the investment of thought for albums was low, but I've decided that you are definitely correct.

>> No.3285154

>>3285128
Oh, okay, I get it now. Yeah, I suppose we're pretty arrogant/pretentious. Is this what you're referencing?

>> No.3285191

>>3285154
No, I just think you shouldn't post on a forum that you are new to, at least not for a while. Nobody on /lit/ wants to hear about that new Dean Koontz novel your mother bought you just like no one on /mu/ wants to hear you talk about your favorite Nickelback album.

The bottom-line investment is pretty low, especially for pop music. Same can be said for Tom Clancy or Dan Brown, but they still require more time and contextualization. I don't remember who said it, but there's the point that music is the purest form of art because it has no abstraction, the work of art is the form of silence and sound itself, all other types of art are symbols and representations.

i noticed that gatsby was on some of the lists in you essentials sticky. i've really enjoyed that the few times i've read it. thinking about reading more fitzgerald. i remember watching a documentary on him once and being really intrigued by his other stuff.

i think the next thing in my queue is 1984, which i've actually never read before. looking forward to it.

Asperger's doesn't exist anymore. They merged it with autism recently.
