Literary confession thread, faggots

most poets are leftist scum too. worst of the wurst.

I only read for 1-2 hours a day.

I dropped A Tale of Two Cities after the first chapter and never read Dickens again because of his annoying use of multiple clauses in a sentence and verbosity.

I haven't read any of the book I'm on in the past four or five days

I have been reading books for years but never finished a single one of them.

Its not a contest, friendo

Post her soles please.

I hated Gravity's Rainbow and I think Veeky Forums's taste in philosophers is poor

I'd say that's true for most of us

post your own

I have virtually no understanding or care for themes, symbolism, motifs, anything
I just read books and go "Wow that was good"

I hate all the classical English literature canon of the 17th/18th century
I think American literature is much more interesting
Whitman is the only poetry i genuinely enjoy
also this

I can't read multiple books at the same time, so i have to finish one before starting another

i find all the lit Veeky Forums praises pretentious af

I haven't opened a book in several weeks.

I can't not. I get bored if I'm just reading one book at a time and will end up not finishing it.

I was bored to death by great expectations but kept on readings because it's a classic, i will never touch a dickens novel again
Started the habit of reading multiple books at the same time (up to five)

The thing is i have that too
I just bought Catch-22 and i can't wait to read it but i haven't finished my current book, and for some reason i don't wanna start Catch-22 before finishing the other
I don't even really know why i do that

>I like genre fiction.
>Rant and Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk are some of my favorite books.
>I don't read any philosophy.
>I actively avoid reading philosophy.

Bad eyes here, audiobooks only, but that's not my confession.
I listen to shit anime light novel fan translations using speech to text, and I love it.

>Confessing you have good taste

>he's not a NEET

'Bleak House' was great, although, if you got bored by 'Great Expectations' 'Bleak House' would have killed you.

everybody does

I only read english language lit. Translations get binned

>he's monolingual
learn another language or kys

I M H O nobody really understands as much as they think they or others do.
Even professors and people who analyze books for a living are mostly just projecting their own opinion about shit, grabbing onto something and justifying their opinion, unless the author makes it really obvious.
>read book
>Character eats an Apple
>100 pages later
>mentions Apple again in passing
>near the end of the book someone sees a bowl of fruit
>Now, notice the repeated references to apples. What ______ _______ is trying to do here is link the narrative and the characters to original sin. Notice how by the end of the book the apple isn't even mentioned, it's just fruit. _____ _____ wanted to show us how oblivious we become as we go on sinning without thought. The entire story is in the spirit of mans blah blah blah
Pretty much any great book written in the last few decades has had its public perception determined by the subjective analysis of a handful of loud voices.
But any great book should be written well enough that somebody can read it and get a lot out of it, without having to read any critical analysis.
I never realized this shit triggered me so hard.

I think footfags should be rounded up and killed. They are ruining literature, tv shows and porn.
This shit is being put in everything nowadays.

t. I don't like feet because I can't attentively observe human body

The feet in OP are gross, but I don't understand how somebody can look at a good cute girl foot and not like it.

I agree

You are sick and need help.

I think all those drugs they give you guys in Klapistan is fucking with your brain and neuron wiring.

Next thing you guys will be buying foot-fleshlights of your favorite pornstars, or you will want the law to allow you to cut off your dead wife's feet and persevere it, so you can fuck it.

Just like how you don't understand how a man can look at another man's shitter and want to fuck it.

Feet are the most attractive part of a woman's body.

I only started reading seriously (as in more than 5 or 6 books a year) at the age of 18. I feel like that's too late an age to ever make it.

>I feel like that's too late an age to ever make it
then why don't you kill yourself?

>foot-fleshlights of your favorite pornstars
>he's giving away billion dollar ideas on fourchan
>mfw

mf too

Discipline user. 5-6 books a year is really really sad, no offense. Are you reading because you want to read, or simply to look better/cultured? 18 isn't too late of an age, despite what you think, you will learn as you grow and get older and become more appreciative of many things.

To ever make what?

>foot-fleshlights
omg I'd fuck them so hard

I read 5 or 6 books outside of my school reading up until the age of 18. I don't think it's sad, it's simply average. In fact, most children don't read outside of what's assigned to them in school.

why do you respond to him? fuck, leave that laptop and go out and have a walk

who fucking cares, read how much you want
do what the fuck you feel doing jesus

Alright I misunderstood, but what's holding you back now?

Sparked my curiosity. I'm leaving soon for a doctors appointment, now just catching up with homework and shitposting

...

>but what's holding you back now?
Nothing. I just feel like i'm at a disadvantage when I read about all of these great authors who spent their childhoods reading Homer and Rimbaud. It's like I'm learning how to play an instrument as an adult, and trying to compete with musicians who've gotten piano lessons since they were 4.

There are 12 year olds who read more than you and there are 80 year olds who read less. Stop being a faggot and read as much as you want in whatever pace you want.

There's nothing you can do about the past and there's no point wasting your present on regrets.

you really want suggestions? ok:
1) stop being a faggot
2) stop being on Veeky Forums
3) READ THE FUCKING BOOKS YOU'D LIKE TO READ

oh my

Don't compare yourself to other people. You're young and nimble, you've got time to improve and cultivate yourself into who you want to be.

I have never read an entire book in the Bible.

Still a Protestant though

If you wouldn't lick those feet you are gay fuck.

I became a hardline Catholic because of reading.
I've read 4-5 times more than the average poster on Veeky Forums by reading 60 pages every day.
I have a strict studying and reading schedule, outside of which I almost never do anything productive. Order is key to success in whatever you are doing.

What?

>hardline Catholic

The Catholic Church is no longer hardline anything.

I know.

I don't care for money. And I won't help aid your sick habits. It would be like if I made midget sex dolls that-are-definitely-eighteen! But looked super young. Not aiding you fuckers.

Fuck off

Feet are truly the best.

Reee

Veeky Forums is the only place where you can see how sick are some people.

It's a hole. I don't even have a penis and even I get urges to see if I can stick a dick in things.

I want a girlfriend who will let me clean all of the sweat off her feet with my tongue every day when she comes home from work.

When I went to school, some guy would regularly leave fliers saying that he'd clean women's shoes for free. That's a pro-active fetishist right there. I thought it was kind of funny.

I've read several academic articles on post-colonialism, and I cannot tell whether it's simply beyond my understanding or if it's just a bunch of obscure gibberish. It really concerns me.

I am trying to read Infinite Jest and I am really struggling. The story seems to be going in a hundred different directions. I used to think i was smart. I am the only guy who reads books (apart from andy mcnab) on this fuckin oil rig.

>spend teens/early 20's reading mostly genre fiction. >Last couple years, started reading only literary fiction.
>now when I read genre fiction i get annoyed at how un-literary it is and feel guilty i'm not reading a classic or a literary work.
>wish i could enjoy genre fiction like i used to.

Take notes in a little journal while you read. Mark pages for rereading. Make the book truly yours.

thanks mane. Will do. I read Blood meridian recently and really enjoyed it. Suppose ill have to work harder for this one.

i made it 200 pages into IJ and dropped it. i found only one character interesting - the doped up thief/counselor - and a lot of it just silly nonsense. i've no interest in tennis or wheelchair assassins.

I've spent money on a text based browser game.

It's been 5 days since I've read a page because I'm too enthralled by a sport event. I'm a lazy piece of shit.

If you're not willing to put work into reading a text then read commercial literature

Infinite Jest is commercial literature masquerading as literary fiction. It makes people think they're smart when they read it, but it's just a series of simple tricks, and "Oh I read a long book."

That's why if I ever go into an airport Barnes and Noble, they always have plenty of copies being picked up by "literate" business men who feel intelligent for buying it.

This is the most pseud thing I've ever read.

i actually kind of dislike a lot of literary fiction. like novels that are set during times of great strife are interesting but almost everything else is super boring. i don't want to read about shit that i experience in some form or another everyday.

i've even started reading fantasy

I always thought that DFW realized he was a fraud and then offed himself.

I read fanfiction sometimes when I need a break from real books

that's also why it's been featured in apple advertisements.

Fear of being a fraud may have contributed, but it was way more complex than that.

>hasn't read the Bible
>protestant

And everything went exactly as expected.

Funny how a schism based on reading and interpreting the Bible yourself instead of relying on clergy to do it for you ended up with a bunch of illiterate rednecks not reading the Bible lmao

>everything that is not missionary in the dark is pedophilia

Yes, because worshipping Mary and the Pope is far more Christian.

Keep on worshipping false gods, heathen

>don't worship the sinless vessel of Christ
>don't continue accepting religious leadership from the annointed of Christ through His body

Your leader was a bitchy, angsty satanist with the temper of a 12 year old and an ego the size of the sun. The Church reformed as it always does, the protestants fled to the new world where they went on to proclaim that God lives on a planet called Kolob and that the virtuous who die in the magic underwear get to be Gods of their own universes.

I recommend other people books I haven't read.

I've read all four Twilight novels.

>tfw Russian Orthodox
>tfw watching two wrong people argue who's wronger

What kind of books?
