does it count if I have a few years of French schooling and can speak on a basic level? I read Le Petit Prince in original french so that should count for something
Dominic Richardson
But I like reading THEORY
Jonathan Hill
I like the new Novalis
Caleb Cruz
don't tell me what to do
Matthew King
LMAO I don't even read, I look up books and authors on wikipedia, so that I can more convincingly shitpost and argue about them.
John Adams
whats the point of your post OP? I've been enjoying myself on this board. i dont get it. you've literally added nothing. Trying to keep people out, who are you? you're a child. I bet you couldn't tell me what the sistine chapel smells like. Or what it feels like to hold your dying friend in arms in war. you lose, good day sir.
Eli Collins
t. typical 20 something on Veeky Forums
isnt it past your bedtime children?

>whats the point of your post OP? to deter people from making off topic threads
Grayson Wilson
is you the police? why are you trying to deter people from doing anything? you make me laugh. not out loud but in my soul. how out of control is your life?
Jose Sanders
I fucking love your threads, bruh. Never stop never stopping.
Joseph Green
but I like it here
Ryder Hernandez
Novalis is beautiful. If he looked anything like his busts, maybe one of the most attractive people in history.
Lucas Lee
guys, stop bumping this shitpost. Get back to quality discussion
James Sanders
Leave this board and never return if:
>you want to continue enjoying literature.
Seriously, if you value reading as a hobby, you should spend as little time on Veeky Forums, but Veeky Forums especially, as possible. It will either turn you into a jaded misanthrope that can't appreciate reading books as a hobby, or it will form an addiction that prevents you from reading for protracted periods of time.
Veeky Forums was a mistake and I wish I would stop coming here.

>how out of control is your life? 8/10 >why are you trying to deter people from doing anything? because i dont want to have to wade through all of the bullshit in order to find one intellectual discussion.
Oliver Ward
>he comes to Veeky Forums for intellectual discussion
you've got some pretty fucking high hopes for this Vietnamese basket-weaving forum. You're one click away from seeing 300+ pictures of donkeys fucking fat chicks; do you really think intellectualism is what you'll find here?
Austin Anderson
I'm trying Novalis, please forgive me.
Parker Nguyen
agreed, remove the multi-lingual bias, because its classist (and possibly also racist against Americans) and we're good
Josiah Phillips
same here man best of luck
Asher Green
>whats the point of your post OP? To remind you of your place
Gabriel Wilson
>t.over 20 something on /lit shouldn't you have fellow associate professors or TA's at the very least to discuss these things with mr.cultured man?
Aaron Nelson
Yeah but have you ever read Infinite Jest?
Logan Sanchez
fuck off, nerd.
Levi Hughes
>>you read for entertainment dropped right there. Maybe you should leave Veeky Forums if you hate books so much?
did you post the Veeky Forums version on Veeky Forums the other day? or was that just someone imitating your style...or is this meme just multiple people?
