Why would you read books that aren't considered classics?

Serious question. It's literally a waste of time reading non-canon works.

Then the canon will never change.

>>7523648
Why is time spent readimg the canon better spent than time reading garbage? Either way you are going to die.

I can do what I want with my spare time. If I want to waste it that's my choice.

The canon can suck my cock by the way.

Why do you feel the need to state this? I never said you should do this thing or that. I just want to know why you would literally waste your life reading garbage.
>>
>>7523711
Because a life spent in the trash ends the same way as anybody else's?
Because circlejerking over academia when you have no real power to put these theories into practice is practically a waste of time?
Why SHOULD I bother with the classics?

>>7523648
Enderdainment.

>>7523733
If you have that kind of mentality then don't bother.

Just a tip, people don't read sole for the approval of others. For someone as vain as you this may be a difficult concept to grasp.

Why did you feel the need to make this gay thread you filthy subhuman?
>>
>>7523744
Reading to assuage your own ego isnt all that different, chump.
>>
>>7523763
So that I could trigger you, personally.
>>
>>7523771
My post was ironic.

Good you good, pal.

>>7523779
Pretending to be retarded is a good way to fall prey to idiotic lines of thought, pal.

this is why trying to convince people of the value of the canon is a fucking uphill battle. OP kill yourself

it's a waste of time reading anything non-STEM related

What makes you think the classics are immutable, Mr. Bloom?
