>You know exactly what kind of books you like and you don’t feel the need to read what others recommend in an effort to look smart. There’s more to life than reading a list of literature guided by the personal philosophy of some thirty-something-year-old white man named Brandon. Fuck Brandon and his basic taste.

You checked 26 out of 72 on this list!
You can see the value in reading books that take you out of your comfort zone, but mostly you just read books that you enjoy. At the end of the day you read for pleasure, not because you’re trying to impress anyone. And besides, a lot of the books on the list, pretentious or not, are actually pretty damn good.

>If someone reads a lot of books it's not because they enjoy reading they're just trying to look smart and I jump to this conclusion not because I'm judgemental and insecure about my own intelligence but in reality I'm so intellectual that I'm actually anti-intellectual

17/72, same response as >>8078184 and >>8078200. I have nothing against a 30-year-old guy named Brandon. The only Brandon I know is dyslexic.

I also feel like I've just participated in a forced survey that is a part of some quack sociology "study".

>there's no such thing as universal literary acclaim; it's all a cabal of straight cis white men amirite?
>objective literary merit is really just smoke and mirrors that keep whitey comfortable bruh
>so basic
>there's MORE TO LIFE
>it's alright to decide what """"kind"""" of books you like and refuse to broaden your horizons
>ignore all recommendations, it's just peer pressure anyway

The study is about how successful a website can be without actually creating any meaningful content.

The results are in: "depressingly so"

and indeed there is more to life than doing shitty surveys created by a late-twenty-something self-loathing prematurely-receding-hairlined white man named Jamie

>You like your books deft, purposeful, and difficult to understand. If you’re not challenged by what you’re reading then it has no place on your bookshelf, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But it’s probably best not to bring up your critiques of postmodernism on a first date, because honestly, it makes you look like a pretentious dick.
