Literary confession thread

Literary confession thread

I can count on one hand the number of books I've read in the past 5 years

I can barely read at all without Adderall

I like to read YA novels

I can't read.

What is this thread about?

I make outlandish comments about authors without having ever engaged with their work.

I find pure philosophy to be mind-numbingly boring. Weave it into something resembling a narrative or incorporate it into another storytelling device, just don't serve it up to me dry as a fucking desert. This is the one part of Veeky Forums I don't understand. I love classic literature, I love poetry, I can enjoy the major movements and appreciate different writing styles and ideas, but I'm not going to force myself to slog through hundreds of pages of someone's angsty dry thesis about how the best rulers commit genocide.

I hate Nabokov and his writings.

I quit reading like a month ago

Why?
