>listens to jazz
leave this board and never return

>you read for entertainment
Reminder that you have literally shit for brains if you don't enjoy literature but still force yourself to read it. Seriously, go do something that interests you. You'll be better off for it.

I actually came to this thread hoping for some initial Novalis recs, considering that OP always uses the same Novalis pic

I started reading through "the essential canon of classical music" partially to pick up new stuff to listen to while reading. Didn't even get through Bach and now basically every day I listen to the same Handel oratorios, Bach keyboard work, and the odd Beethoven/Schubert.

>only entertainment is enjoyable

>conflating enjoyment and entertainment

it's considered Folktronica according to the wiki

The author IS dead, being monolingual is just cultural preference or nationalism depending on how adament you are, and you TRY and read Harry Potter and not fucking smile.

>muh canon
>muh culture
>muh conscription

Live a beta and die a beta you short penised parrot.

so it's jazz

Why are you even here?

>canon is not fun
also, I'm not reading those seven books full of "he replied angrily" type of not-even-mfa-tier writing ever again

Can't sleep, slightly too early for news and reading and too late for drugs I'm here once a week

Read the first 20 pages. Go on. Do it, pussy.

>you read any form of genre fiction
>you read contemporary versions of Shakespeare or Milton

Shakespeare and Milton are genre fiction, user...

All I know is he'd make a great trap.

You could learn it for Kafka?

I know this is probably a troll post, but I seriously, seriously think you need to fuck right off. You miserable wretch, you.

>you read any form of genre fiction
>you read for entertainment

You sound like the saddest prick in the world. Congratulations, you miserable freak.

>be on lit
>not just listening to neofolk and classical
