He's a reader
Literary people always look so wan and haggard.
>Thinking you're "open minded" because you read shitty popular best-sellers
Of course there are good contemporary writers, but at any given time (including right now), the vast majority are shit.
I do all these except

>he reads other people's reviews for different viewpoints but still tries to make up his own mind

Sounds like normie shit
How is any of this bad?
Because he isn't spending all his time shitposting on lit about stuff he's never read.

Women read far more often than men do.
That doesn't say anything for quality, but by quantity they're definitely leading.

Post the full image
This picture is exactly how I pictured Martin Silenus in Hyperion, though more red, especially around the eyes.
I do everyone of these except
>he rates and screencaps his shitposts on sites like reddit
You have to prove that you deserve it
Lel you guys are faggots.
Not shitposting, just being honest.
Also he's part goat.
When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd
This is a joke. If anything they read those smut books
What is Bloom's goodreads account?
Did you even read the post you are replying to? Does someone need to pay you before you put in effort?
Yes to all except:
>he rates and catalogues his books on sites like goodreads and sometimes writes reviews
I can't even imagine how much potential reading time that would waste.
>he reads other people's reviews for different viewpoints but still tries to make up his own mind
I read whatever looks interesting, and I have a "to read' list a century long already. No need for Goodreads.
>despite knowing he'll never make a career out of it, he writes every day just for pleasure
I'm a reader, not usually a writer.
