Most books for me range from artificial to idiotic. Seems like the more "critically acclaimed" a book is, the faker it is. Pop schlock like George R. R. Martin feels like brain cells are dying when I read it.

I dumped a girl I had recently entered into a relationship with because she didn't know what Les Miserables was.

I thoroughly enjoyed most of the books I was assigned in high school, and have read many of them again since then.

Most of my good friends are fairly well-read; I find that as time goes on people who don't read become less and less bearable.

The few times I've smoked weed it did absolutely nothing for me. Not even a slight buzz, let alone a high.

I know I won't be considered a successful member of society until I have a degree, a well-paying job, a house with a mortgage and 2.4 kids, but secretly nothing would make me happier than a studio apartment in a big east coast city with a job that doesn't require much mental exertion but pays the rent and gives me plenty of time to write books.

I smoke on a fairly regular basis; my family thinks I've quit.

There are days when I feel like the people on /lit/ are the only people I can talk to, my only friends.

I did not enjoy Lolita in the slightest.

I do not understand the appeal of e-readers at all.

I am appalled by the direction poetry has taken since the 1980s.

I believe that people who categorically avoid fiction have sticks up their asses, people who categorically avoid poetry are fearful of things they cannot understand in concrete terms, and people who categorically avoid nonfiction are willfully ignorant of the world around them.

Every time I go to a bookstore I find myself picking up less and less fiction and more poetry and philosophy.

I read faster and retain more of what I read when there is background noise, be it music, cars, conversation, etc.

I have a job that pays well but I am constantly borderline broke because I spend my spare money on books, cigars, and liquor.

I hate most books that have come out in the past 10 years or so, but I thoroughly enjoy magical realism as a genre.

I live a town away from a best selling author and I bump into him all the time in stores, at the movies, etc. I am always very polite to him but I think he's an insufferable prick and his books are all rehashes of the same depressing premise.

I live across the street from a record store and I have a recurring fantasy about hunting the hipsters who congregate there with a crossbow. I've even designed a point system much like deer hunting, but based instead on the size/style of their beards and mustaches.

I teach calligraphy at a college and routinely fuck my students. I have no remorse about it, even when they do.

I think that about 80% of undergrads in college/heading to college next year would be better off getting work experience or traveling. There are far too many kids going to college for the "experience" and signing up for a bullshit major to justify 4 years of drunken partying and driving their family into debt. Unless your field actually requires a high level of specialized education, college is unnecessary.

I genuinely believe our materialistic culture is the #1 enemy of literature.

I go to writers conferences for two reasons: to meet writers I admire and to get laid. There isn't a single conference I've attended where I haven't accomplished both goals.

I devote an hour or two every day to "serious" reading and another hour or two to "light" reading. Right now for serious stuff I'm juggling Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, some Billy Collins, and Two Years Before the Mast.

For "light" reading I'm juggling the Hornblower series and the Guardians of the Galaxy comics.

I strongly believe that taking reading too seriously is just as poisonous to the mind as not reading at all. Sure, reading is a serious intellectual pursuit, but there must be balance. Being a purist will not serve you well unless you are surrounded by like-minded purists.

Don't worry too much about it. If you liked that you can keep reading him or switch to his contemporaries. Kerouac is pretty fun, you can read On The Road or Dharma Bums to get his good side just to catch the full blown depression of Big Sur which is usually considered his best work.
After that you may want to go back to their influences, Hemingway is pretty cool and has so much work I'm guiessing there's a rec list only for him. After that you may want to try your luck with some Joyce since they were close authors, and it's okay if you dislike him or find him tedious to understand and want to go back later at him. After a quick american introduction you can freely jump to modern authors like Franzen or Wallace and see if you like them, or you can start a couple decades before with Corman McCarthy and the likes.
Otherwise you cna try some russian stuff, it tends to seem harder to read than it really is. You'll notice that a lot of posters mention Nabokov or Dostoievsky, if people from 4chan can read them anyone can.

having had many a cock inside my rump, i doubt the consistency of a banana is solid enough in order to force it inside yourself, especially such a distance. the banana would lose all of its form and be utterly crushed by the rectal walls. additionally, which end? both are very rough, not the sort of the thing you want going into your chocolate drain pipe. further, where can you find a banana that is 11+ inches in length? i'm adding the extra couple of inches because i assume it would be impossible to retrieve the banana without some slack. as i said before, i speak with firsthand knowledge due to countless miles of dick that have penetrated me.

It's still fine to post. In fact, I suspect you read than alot of /lit/ posters. Just know the book well and be sincere and honest in your analysis. You may have someone argue with you, but it's not like they read some special notes version of the book. They read the same book you did. Not to mention you will help dilute the portion of /lit/ that just looks at the wikipedia page.

What an idiot. I read at least a book once a week or once every two weeks and have been doing so for many years but I do not consider myself higher than other people simply because they do not read.

Could you even tell me why you read? You think you're more intelligent simply because you have a vaster vocabulary? Why should someone who does not require to read or does not enjoy doing so, read?

Ohh which one? I just got Labyrinths today, and I love the first two stories already. His command of language (at least as the translators present it) is amazing to me. He throws out some pretty difficult ideas, but they're communicated in a way that's really easily understandable.

thanks /lit/ for turning me on to him this shit's great

I have one faggot friend that I did coke and other drugs with throughout the course of a weekend at a music festival in arknsas. just so you know, i'm not a faggot. but he kept trying to hook up with me, like, give me a blow job or get me to fuck him. ugh, fucking disgusting. but he's like really feminine, almost like a girl. he's just an utter faggot. I'm not gay, but since I was doing so much coke, i wasn't thinking straight, and go turned on by him. we never hooked up, but i've masturbated to the thought of fucking him. it's weird, but I can't help it. it's like a dominance thing. also, i'm convinced that since i crave coke so bad, i'm always reminded of that faggot, hence why i still masturbate to him sometimes. like, seriously, what the fuck is wrong with me. i'm not fucking gay. i just need to do some more coke.
