REEEEEEEEE

I haven't read any book for over a week because I'm 100 pages in to Nicolas Nickleby and IT'S SO FUCKING CRUSHINGLY DULL AND LONG WINDED but I'm a UKer who hasn't read any Dickens books before and I don't want to be seen as a pleb due to this.

I'm also starting to abhor art in general. I hate that I have to read for cultural capital reasons. I don't even enjoy genre fiction but I still feel the pressure to read.

I just fucking hate this pretentious academia-publishing-media industrial complex induced spin that books are a part of. I wish people saw books like chocolate bars or YouTube videos. Used and forgotten about, not heralded as containing profound insights / wisdom / anything.

Is this normal for /lit/ or is OP just a particularly cancerous faggot?

The fuck?

90% of people don't read. No-one's going to judge you if you don't.

Yes, I wanted more attention for the points I was making. lit barely wants to talk about anything except the same 8 topics

A lot of sad frogposters turn to literature in order to give some vaue to their sad lifes, or at least that's how I reason it. There's a lot of robots here, so there must be a reason.

Y'know, out of all the shit I read on this board, the Dickens hate hurts me the most. I fucking love me some Dickens and I feel like I'm the only one here in that camp.

Dickens is a meme author used by social engineers to attack capitalism.

If its dull, don't read it.

You can only take in so much good from a bad book.

I've quit three books now and whilst it isnt the greatest feeling i moved on.
