I haven't read a book since 2011. It was The Wheel of Time series, I think the fifth book or something. It had people who controlled others by some sort of magic device and could force them to do things or cause pain or something to that degree.
Anyway, I haven't read a book since 2011. What do I read? I'm normally /ck/ and /tv/...

me neither. I haven't read a book in years. authors are a bunch of dense motherfuckers who don't got shit to say and take all day saying it.
>What do I read?
The sticky, for starters.
Slaughterhouse-Five is great for people looking to get into reading.
Check the sticky for the /lit/ starter pack.

Lit is about pretending to read, learning how to dismiss famous authors, taking pictures of your new books and of your bookshelves... It's called 'fake it till you make it'... see, people got to learn that being AROUND books makes you SEEM smart which is easier than getting well read. You can spend your time reading and reading OR spend your time preparing to come off as well read, which is easier... So you can seem like a literary master critic... Or be a nerd faggot.
Why are you asking for recs here if you haven't read anything? Isn't there a series you thought might be interesting or a sci-fi book?? You should start with what you're interested in. Come here when you're ready to go down the literary rabbit hole

Why do people feel the need to discuss books, even critise? If one finds a book uninteresting or poorly written one should just not read it

Discussion deepens understanding and gives you a richer sense of the book, or, shares your enthusiasm for parts, it's the no different from sitting down and discussing football over a beer. Criticism of a poor book helps you deconstruct the written art and understand what fails a book, can help you avoid poor books in the future, and maybe even help you appreciate a book in spite of its failings. It's also such an active engagement either way it becomes an art in itself.
