Lets be honest guys, there is very little reading being done here by anybody. If someone does read something besides the 10-20 ancient meme books it is instantly derided as pleb material and the OP is laughed at and memed to death.
The suggestions in the sticky are a joke and its plainly obvious that much of Veeky Forums hasn't read any of the books aside from the few meme books that are talked about.
/v/ discusses the newest video games /a/ discusses the newest anime
And then you get to Veeky Forums and they are still discussing the same old books they started with. Theres nothing new ever being discussed. No best book of 2016 or this is releasing in two weeks who has preordered threads. Simply the same books and wanking of philosophers, sure its fine to discuss older books, but its gotten to the point where only about 20 books can be discussed and everything else is "pleb"
The most reading that is done on this board are the people posting in the sci-fi/fantasy general. The only place here that seems to read and enjoy their books, but of course they are just plebs.
This board needs to shape up.

Is this going to be the new sticky?

>No best book of 2016 or this is releasing in two weeks who has preordered threads. Wow, maybe it's because unlike your shitty hobbies (anime and video games), literature isn't based on selling products
Anthony Allen
Oh yeah I forgot its about pretending you are superior for reading.

Seriously, kill yourself.
Do you have a 'Pepe' folder as well?

Literature is an immensely older field than video games and anime are, and there is a lot of lit that has proven its worth over centuries and even millennia But you are right that there isn't much interaction with newer literature, and also the discussion of older lit is often a) not very deep and b) not well supported by the community
Isaac Johnson
Veeky Forums takes refuge in irony to avoid exposing itself. Books take longer than music or movies, to be fully appreciated, therefore Veeky Forums doesn't want to take the risk of being perceived as pleb by endorsing a new book that might fall in either side of the spectrum. Also, Veeky Forums takes a position of comfort when it dismisses things as pleb, especially if it does so with violent disdain.
John Sanders
No I don't or I would respond with some, but point still stands that those boards are on topic. They discuss the newer stuff while also occasionally looking back and discussing the old.
Jace Martin
Oh look. Another useless thread from an off-boarder.
