really depends what we think of happiness. a good book usually shocks and upsets you, keeps you from falling asleep at night, but hopefully frees you.

Fuck, I always try to escape /pol/ but it haunts me everywhere I go. This sort of indignation is unbecoming for a graceful person such as myself.

>implying i want to be happy in the first place

No idea where this idea comes from that everything you do has to affect long term happiness in some way. I read because I like reading and not because I mentally make some calculations whether reading makes me happier in the future, whatever that is supposed to mean. New Yorker has become pleb tier anyway.

Do you read the things you type beforehand and think about how they say or are you actually that pretentious?
