>>7678432
Reading is productive, retard
>>7678438

>>7678436

As in living life more fully instead of lying in bed reading, yes.
As in writing, no.

Kill urself my man

Do you not feel like you are getting anything from reading? What would you do instead?
I personally feel quite productive as I'm reading because I feel that I learn something I want to know, as I do it.
>>7678477
Reading is beautiful, I learn new things (especially reading philosophy). It's just that sometimes it feels like a passive activity.
>>7678488
Well if you're not reading as a mean to an end, or the end itself, it could be quite passive.
What would you want to do instead?

>This is what nerds believe.
i tried being productive once, and it was awful.
balance in everything lads
I cannot read without tending to grow in verbosity and eventually I cannot contain it any longer and it results in productivity of some sort or the other. In short, appreciation results in productivity. They don't belong in mutually exclusive sets.

do something on my own. Create something personal. Sometimes I write my thoughts but I don't see myself writing a novel
Pure ideology.
you say that, and yet you're on 4chan right now
literally no, if i could read forever and never worry about food and shit i would be so happy
>>7678432
Yes, that's when I masturbate.
People like you have such a retarded definition of "productive".
To you, it's more "productive" to go out and party and drink and fuck, than to read a book and learn
>>7678634
No, they are the same thing. For productive I mean something that you create.
>>7678638
when i read i create a structure of understanding inside my memory that is a reflection of the original thought-object of the author.
therefore reading is productive
>>7678642
It doesn't came to you, as you said it is a reflection of the author's thoughts. When you write something on your own, you create in the very sense of the word.
>>7678638
That's creative, then.
Finishing up your leftover accountant work is productive. Creative, it is not.
>>7678655
so you compare reading with finishing up your leftover accountant work?
>>7678642
Most adolescent reply I've seen on /lit/ in weeks
>>7678432
Yeah, but then I just clean my house and cook dinner and think 'wew lad that was enough activity for the day' and enjoy doing nothing again.
>>7678642
when you get drunk you create some chemical shit in your brain that is an effect of drinking alcohol
therefore getting drunk is productive
Not tired at all. I feel full of shit, ideas and situations I want to express in some way. So I write.
>>7678785
aye
so
>>7678634
I would say that considering my life. I read because I'm too much of a loser to do those things.
>>7678609

Ya, it's all about getting things done.

OP no
>>7678432
I consider reading productive. I gotta read good if I want to write good.
I'm productive all day long, reading is my leisure activity. And plus, when I'm not reading something that is pure, shallow fiction, I'm learning either history or new ideologies.
