I don't read any fiction, I just come here to funpost in philosophy threads. I've never enjoyed any work of fiction I've read - they're all beneath me desu. This is what true patrician-hood is all about. Everyone reads Literature to feel superior or to gain social capital anyway, once all Literature is beneath you, you can stop wasting your time.

>Everyone reads Literature to feel superior

Speak for yourself.

lol

please leave?

Kill yourself you empty, soulless, posturing, status seeking, piece of shit.

back at cha kiddo

I haven't read a book since fucking highschool and you can't stop me from shit-posting!

why here though? serious question.

Each persons daemon directs them differently and at different speeds.
Making demands instead of encouragement or friendly banter is the sign of a posturing pseud.

...

all this tells me is you are sixteen or are so late you just now reached that juvenile opinion
