I'm doing well in terms of reading, like I feel I'm actually reading patrician works.
But I'm a total pleb in other fields and that's utterly embarrassing.
>wanting to become a literal stereotype
why
who cares? really
Enjoy the works, if you don't like opera don't listen to it.
You are not forced to like something.
But if you like rap or some shit music, you can't call yourself "well-read" or "patrician"... In reality you are a disgrace.
As far as classical music goes, here are three different styles of it:

You ought to like one of them.
After you choose one (or all) wander through other compositions that are alike.
Google is your best friend.

Seeing a play is the only thing out of all these that I think you should actually do.

Have you read the entire /lit/ starter kit? Is it dated? Aren't Lord of the flies and huck Finn legitimate children's books?
It's for people who are new to reading.
Everything except Catch-22. They're high school-taught books largely (with the exception of Lolita) but that doesn't necessarily mean they're bad. Imagine if they never got picked up by Western high school curricula, many would be widely discussed here on /lit/ likely. The only one that is notably awful is To Kill a Mockingbird
Adults can get quite a lot out of those works, and I don't see why any of them would be considered "dated".
to the women of /lit/:
"Do you not know that you are Eve? The judgment of God upon this sex lives on in this age; therefore, necessarily the guilt should live on also. You are the gateway of the devil; you are the one who unseals the curse of that tree, and you are the first one to turn your back on the divine law; you are the one who persuaded him whom the devil was not capable of corrupting; you easily destroyed the image of God, Adam. Because of what you deserve, that is, death, even the Son of God had to die."

Anyone ever write pic related? How did it go? Did it get made into a movie?
>>8086849
First let me pose a question to you:
Are you retarded?
>>8086849
I'm writing one myself at the moment, I don't know if it'll ever be adapted but I just don't really bother thinking about that since its the writing itself that matters to me at the moment.
Here's the first scene if you're interested:

kindle users pls advise
I've had the original kindle and it just bit the dust so I need a new one. I just want an e-reader that displays books. That's all I want. I want to be able to click from one page to another with buttons. I want a backlight. What should I get
>>8086796
probably just the basic Kindle or Nook then Anon. No need to get fancypants color screen for Gamez and you'll save a penny or two.
Why don't you do your own research, you worthless fuck?

"Conflict may be painful, but the painless solution does not exist in any case and the pursuit of it leads to the painful outcome of mindlessness and pointlessness; the apotheosis of the ostrich."
>the apotheosis of the ostrich
What did he mean by this?
putting your head in the sand like an ostrich. refusing to face your problems because the solution could be painful, preferring instead to skulk away in your cocoon where life is void of problems but also very unfulfilling and pointless.
>>8086650
the real question is, Why must we aspire to be anything but ostriches?
>>8086665
Because it's easy, in the abstract, to gravitate towards an aesthetically pleasing ideal of bravery, but in reality it's best to just de-spook yourself and choose comfort.
