/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.6145521]

I claim that 99% of literature out there is absolute fucking garbage. The remaining 1% ranges between "okay" and "bad".

Literature is, for the most part, simply fucking nonsense and irritation. It is a essentially perversion of artistic expression. Repulsive through and through. Anybody I speak to who mentions literature in a positive light goes down 5-6 pegs in my book. Out of 10. Braindead people read literature. Real thinking people watch fucking film.

Don't come at me with your fucking sobbing defense of classic literary culture either. I'm not anti-intellectual and I have great respect for the Classic tradition.

Literature, however, destroys my faith in humanity. If any of you are into literature: fuck you. I mean it.

I became an avid reader like three months ago and I can't stop. I stopped watching tv and I don't spend much time on 4chan anymore.

Here's how I did it.

-Remember the average person reads like zero books a year. If you read 5 pages a day, you are 5 pages above the average person

-Don't force yourself to read. Commit to read 5 pages a day. I swear after three days you'll feel like reading more and after a month or so you should be reading 50-100 pages a day for pleasure

-Read various books at the same time. When I grab a difficult book or one that makes me sleepy I grab another and switch. This should refresh your head. Keep them thematically different. I read economics and fiction.

-It isn't a race. Reading slowly won't make you sleepy that fast. Try to acknowledge what books are for you to read fast and which aren't.

-Buy the physical copies. When you get the books from your own money you'll feel the need to read them to avoid the feel of wasting your money.

-Start with books highly discussed here so you feel motivated to discuss.

Now replace literature with 'everything' and you have a sound theory.
