Are all book youtubers 20-something year old women that exclusively read young adult fiction?

>> No.9404344

Is there a demand for late 30s men who only read nonfiction?

>> No.9404345

I've seen one Russian woman who reads good shit like Joyce, Nabokov and others, and she isn't even a booktuber. I guess it has something to do with identity and not realizing books can be a mindless leisure too.

There are other ones but /lit/ keeps creeping on them and scaring them into closing their channels.

There's a qt 20-something Italian boy named the Bookchemist. I think he likes Postmodernism, but I'm usually too distracted by how much I want to gargle his dick to pay attention to what he's saying.

There are exceptions like pic related. But you fags seem mostly interested in creeping on young girls anyway.

> watching videos of people talking about books

You don't just have too much spare time, there should be an error in your brains that make you consider that activity reasonable.

Is /lit/ the most gay board? There's really a lot of homosexuals here.

>> No.9404933

>>9404926
Are you new?

Lit is a perfect gay board. Aesthetic posturing without any substance or meat; FOTM meme picks from head gay in charge; immense hate for women and not in a Schopenhauer-esque way.

I thought all of this was because /lit/ is full of basement dwellers who read genre fiction and 2 non-fiction works in their life. Like, a board full of Ignatius.

When I think about it, Ignatius is probably (a bit) gay, so it's still coherent.

I like watching people discuss things they are passionate about. I feel it somehow validates my own neurosis when it comes to media consumption. It's a widespread thing, not uncommon, not good, but not unusual.

What happened to Kate? Is she still doing videos or did she shut down her second channel?

>> No.9406775

>>9404312
The problem is that anybody who takes literature seriously doesn't make a youtube channel if they want to be heard, they go into academia.

bookchemist spends lots of time talking about experimental contemporary american fiction from guys like pynchon or mccarthy. He's great.
