This is my greatest /lit/ sin.

>spend multiple hours a day on /lit/, barely any time reading

God, what the fuck am I even doing with my time?

Pretty much this, and disregarding any author that I haven't heard of or seen being discussed in here.

i only read "classics", and never retain anything more than the barebones of the story after reading them

>spend hours on twitter, 4chan, some facebook.
>don't make time to work on my novel

university has simultaneously given me a massive backlog of amazing authors who are going to change my entire worldview, and ensured i never have any time to read them

i swear i've been on a 3 year vacation from Actually Reading, in the land of Skimming Shit For Tuesday's Class Then Forgetting It Tuesday Afternoon

literally ten more days of this shit and i get to actually work on my thesis, actually start reading things for reals again

i type this as i am alt+tabbed from a half-finished paper about shit i could not possibly care about, sitting next to a stack of books that i'm goign to rip information from just to shove it up the paper's ass without ever actually interacting with it on any meaningful level, and when i finish this fucking one i have two more

I masturbate to Catholic erotica.

I don't read female, black and American authors.

I don't read, I don't write.

I just go to /lit/ and play hearthstone.


I have become everything I hate.

Wouldn't say it's a sin, more of a virtue, but if someone rec's me a book I've not heard of, I cross-reference it with Bloom's Canon and if it's not on the list I tell whomever that I have too much on my plate as is. It's true that I have so much to read already, but also I'm not about to read some contemporary trash that Bloom has yet to have blessed

>>Almost never finish books; I only read about 80% of them and procrastinate until I feel like I'd have to start over completely, at which point I just start a new book
This makes me angry.

>>7440289
>Disregard basically all female writers

this

also I enter discussions on philosophers whose works I haven't read

^people usually take my arguments about them seriously which is why I don't take this place seriously

Not sins tbqh

I do the same. I wonder what % of philo discussion on this board is actually people bluffing.

>Bail on books around ~50 pages if I'm not enjoying it
>Don't move on to new books fast enough, spend too much time writing or goofing off instead

>>7440289
>Disregard basically all female writers for no good reason
this- I don't even know where this comes from. I'll go further and say I won't read books with a female lead. It's like fanfiction- 80% of it is schlock.

>Almost never finish books; I only read about 80% of them and procrastinate until I feel like I'd have to start over completely, at which point I just start a new book
I as well. It kills me.

>I only read for fun
>I can't read epic poems (even though I want too)
>I think 90% of /lit/ is either trolling, or cripplingly retarded.
>I think 90% of the people who go on and on about philosophers and philosophy don't understand what they're reading.

I can't stand atheist pomo

I prefer audiobooks.
I never "read books" until I got a job where I can listen to audiobooks.
Over the past year I've "read" (listened to) about a hundred books.
I really like audiobooks but never particularly liked reading.
