i don’t have the time to read for more than 2 hours, i don’t care about other languages, shakespeare and marlowe are trash for faggots, i’ve read the tragedians infinitely superior to the aforementioned, i would never under any circumstances crib an opinion from a literary critic, prose is only useful if plot underpins it, if you don’t have a primary interest in philosophy that goes before lit you’re subhuman and should be liquidated with extreme prejudice as should your family and children, if you don’t read poetry or think rhyme and rhythm have no merit you should be shot, 99.99% of humans and also posters on this board aren’t worthy of being literate, i only judge works for myself, you left out other things: if you’re not an agnostic you’re a fucking feeb and you need to be killed, if you’re a materialist or a hard idealist you shouldn’t draw another breath, if you read women or blacks for fun you should die, if you read any HS lit as an adult outside of intense study of specific texts like Catcher or 1984 you should die, if you say desu or desu or senpai or any other anal butt monkey slave words you should be killed, if you like boyish women you should be killed, if you are gay you should die of AIDS quickly please, if you’re a non-white redditor you should die, if you’re a virulent anti-Semite beyond respectable disdain for Jewry you should be gassed to death, if you are a Fascist or communist you should be killed, if you’re a liberal or ancap you should be killed, if you are at all affiliated with political or religious institutes even if only in solidarity you should be killed, if you voted for trump or hrc you should be ashamed of yours and kys, if you contribute to the GDP gleefully you should be killed, if you’re a post-humanist you should be killed, if you deny climate change you should be killed
that’s it

>you speak a single language
Learning anything over than your native language and/or English is a colossal waste of time.
