What do you talk about when you talk about literature with your friends?

I find it hard to discuss books beyond "the story was good" or "this character was cool but that character was annoying" -- mostly cause I don't wanna sound like a pretentious snob in real life

Greeks rubbed their dicks between the thighs of young boys. Anything else was sorta questionable (it's mentioned in the literature, but quite often in a denigrating way) since oral and anal are a lot less hygienic when people can't clean up so easily as they can now.

not at all. /mu/ is about music, an art, not buying expensive clothes and being narcissistic.

and even if someone is only listeinng to /mu/core in a shallow attempt to make themselves more interesting at least they understand theoretically someone into music is more interesting than someone into themselves and the clothes they wear

there's really no other way to talk about literature other than what you liked and didn't like about it. you fall apart once you get into the reasoning for it because why you like 'beautiful prose' is probably the most reductive, baseless reasoning on what art 'should do' as determined by a short, shallow summer fling with the canon

well yeah, dudes are gross, but that's no reason to disregard any male that doesn't look like a girl. boys (qt twinks, late teens and early twenties) are best, guys (average, up into twenties) are alright, men (anything past 35 or 40) are shapeless lumps worthy of disgust.
boys are a multifaceted, beautiful race. just because some are shitty doesn't mean all are. most are wonderful, you just gotta know which ones to look for
