Is anyone else really fucking bored by books? I only read so that people don't think that I'm a pleb, though I don't have any social life whatsoever outside of Veeky Forums.

I'm bored by the process of reading but I love the exploration of stories and ideas and the playing with language. I'm STEM by trade and I've never been a very good reader but I do love it, reading Moby Dick has been a highlight of my adult life.

Honestly, reading is kind of a chore for me sometimes, I don't think that's bad. I exclusively read philosophical texts though. I enjoy the content, but you can't expect every second to be entertaining, but when you reach a particular pretty passage or something that makes it all click for you, it's all worth it.

I can't be bored because I have strong will like the Green Lantern.

I'm more tired of the process of searching for books I want to read. They're really hard to find. I'm very picky.

Reading is only boring if the writer is.

you're not allowed to say that about the ten trillion western canon worthy worshiped writers

I am, but I didnt say they were boring.

I was describing my predicament. I wasn't force read all of dickens and austen etc when I was young and time passed quickly so now I have to do it in my 20s and it's agonising

I'm bored by my own mindless thoughts. I read to escape myself.
