Why do you even read /lit/?
what kind of question is that
because i like it
>>7413874
Because of the chicks.
So I can know how to best use commas to disambiguate questions.
It passes the time and in my experience is more stimulating than a lot of other stuff i could be doing instead.
>>7413874
Because of the dough.
>>7413874
I can't stand the shit people say in real life. I can't stand the shit people comment on the internet. I can't stand the way people text. I can barely stand the way people e-mail. Literature is the last bastion of well thought out constructed writing. Fuck this board too. First and last time I'll come to this cesspool.
>>7413895
>last time I'll come to this cesspool.
Good riddance.
>>7413874
When I am not doing housework or working, I can either drink (which I do), work out (which I do), or read or play video games.
TV and facebook make me ill to my stomach.
>>7413874
I don't know why I come to this board. In the beginning when I wanted to start reading, it provided motivation and direction and I learned new things from others here, but now that I read daily, it feels like I'm just wasting time here.
I'm in that middle-stage where everything here isn't new or fresh to learn from but I'm not intelligent or knowledgeable enough to impart something of my own to others.
When I was off /lit/ for a couple of days, it was nicer because I spent my entire time reading and got through much more. It was also a more pleasurable experience.
I don't know why I come here. Nostalgia?
>>7413899
On second though..
>>7413919
no
you just spend more time here than reading
>>7413874
Because I don't know what else to do with my time
>>7413919
You come here because it's easy.
To be a better writer
Which in turn is so I can get:
1. Cash money
2. Recognition
3. Self-respect
>>7413946
>being a writer for fame and money
ayyy lmao good luck kid
>>7413946
Obvious but still funny.
Because i want to read. I want knowledge and i want to take over the family business one day. Make my fathers name a proud name.
"Philosophy escapes from the weary strife of passions that agitate the surface of society into the calm region of contemplation".
Because I enjoy reading, learning about new ideas, and getting engrossed in stories or concepts?
Jesus fucking Christ, what kind of question is this?
>>7413874
Reading is fun and makes me arms me against normie society and its propaganda.
>>7413951
It's mostly for the self-respect
>>7415168
>basing your self-respect on externals
going to have a hard time lad
Because all the interesting people I know love books and I want to have something to talk about.
>>7413874
To transform myself from fuccboi into ubermensch.
Because I enjoy seeing a plot painted in front of me through the use of beautiful characters, dialogue, and ideas.
>>7413895
Faggot thinks he's smart and not misanthropic.
>>7413874
I'm a NEET and there is literally nothing else to fill my time with.
To force books inside your mom's asshole
>>7413885
I got it, /lit/.
>>7413874
I hope to one day make money from selling my erotic fiction to your father and my daughter.
>>7415520
>Implying being misanthropic isn't smart
It's the only way to live, plebian sheep.
>>7416745
>can't spell plebeian
ahh, the patricians of /lit/ at it again
>>7415215
can this frog get any more smug?
>>7413874
what would you be rather doing and why?
>>7416756
>Being this mad at a typo at 4 am
Autismo detected
>>7416838
>seven word post
>mad
i think someone's projecting. also, fix your clock, it's just past noon.
>>7416838
>saving face over a single typo when you are completely anonymous
lol all memes aside are you actually autistic?
>>7416845
>Calls other people autistic upon being called autistic
Autism detected
>>7413874
Because people are not always available and, sometimes, there are no people at all. Reading is the only reliable companion.
>>7416852
This. Reminder that many writers were neurodiverse, including Melville. It's a different way of seeing the world and should be respected instead of treated as an insult. If someone calls you autistic, feel proud because it's just as good, if not better, than being neurotypical.
>>7416806
who dis? boing!
>>7413919
socialization
make real friends
>>7413885
underrated
>>7413874
I read /lit/ because /lit/ has led me to several titles and authors I wouldn't otherwise know. Occasionally there are some rather good comments here too.
because it means I'm smart
>>7413874
So I have something to talk about with her on the off chance she ever contacts me again.
>>7417209
I think that in an alt timeline OP properly employed a comma as opposed to slashes in making reference to the broader endeavor of reading literature.
>>7413895
This t B H f a M
>>7413895
lel. good luck anon, find your way
>>7413919
I read all day usually for 6-8 hours on my days off. I come here after I stop by /sp/ and shitpost on /tv/. This place is fun, plain and simple. I also like bookshelf threads and see what others are reading because before I found /lit/ I was a Stephen King tier reader only
>>7413919
>I don't know why I come here. Nostalgia?
self-loathing, like everyone else
it is my fate
