In all seriousness a non, have you ever read a book before?
Most popular culture us centered on things that are visual: car crashes, fist fights, attractive looking people. This is easier to process than reading and does not tax the intellect.
Some things you might like:
The Fast and Furious movies
Superhero comic book stories
Grand Theft Auto (video game).
Hope that helps!

>reading for plot

not everyone can write a story in such a way as to impassion the reader beyond their interest in the subject matter.
We call that literature.

And not everyone is equipped to appreciate artistic merit.
We call that a patrician.

Some just read for entertainment and twisty plots.
We call you a redditor

Pic also somewhat related in other ways, couldn't help but notice how many themes, moments, and relationships were lifted from Moby Dick in MGSV.

Too bad Melville didn't go into great depth of the chase, his chapter of the whiteness of the whale was longer than the chase

I'd tell you not to breed, but we both know you won't be doing that anyway.

>>8282082

About every other chapter until you get to the "fifth act" of the book is like that.

So if it hasn't gotten good for you yet you should probably approach it from a different perspective.

Oh yeah I forgot, /pol/ is a nuanced board that totally isn't about being triggered 24/7. I'm a shitlord, I know.
