why were you such a stupid little shit?
Ryder King
I was very poorly educated was homeless a lot, and my mother drank while she was pregnant with me.
Ian James
Books without pictures are for dummies because pictures are harder to make than letters and words
For a 6 year old that's some sound logic.
Robert Fisher
Not bad.
When was about 7 or 8, I was already questioning my perception of reality. I wondered if in my own perception where I was being rewarded, I was being punished in the outer reality, which I thought must be the "truer" than my own; for why shouldn't the reality I cannot see for myself be true and my own false? Seemed legit to me at the time.
Furthermore I contemplated which reality was "better." That on one hand in "true" reality I was being punished more often than rewarded, but I didn't know it. On the other hand in my flase reality, well, it wasn't actually real.
Was I a fucked up kid for thinking this?
Jayden Nguyen
Chapter books, man. Chapter books.
Justin Young
Is that supposed to be some allegory?
Jacob Jenkins
>Was I a fucked up kid for thinking this? Go to reddit if you want validation for humble braging. You are not deep, smart or spiritual for questioning reality as a kid. Hell, I did the same at an even younger age than you and I bet many people had similiar thoughts as a child.
Ethan Murphy
Judy Blume's Fudge series was based as fuck, though.
No, I legit thought that. Well, I wasn't entirely convinced of it, but it certainly on my mind a lot.
Not bragging, I'm not considering it deep or smart, because I was actually a pretty dumb kid. I'm considering it very weird. Faggot.
Benjamin Ross
>Faggot Looks like I hit a nerve
Michael Hernandez
You referred me to reddit, of course I'm upset.
Jose Watson
>Samuel Beckett was Samuel Pepys, the fat 17th century English diarist
Landon Martin
I like the way that 'to be or not to be' is probably the single most famous line of anything literary, and all kids know it in some joking way, when it's actually about suicide.
Aiden Williams
I briefly experimented with praying to the Greek gods. Didn't seem to work, sadly.
Daniel Johnson
I thought War and Peace was the sequel to Crime and Punishment or vice versa.
Austin Cox
Was thinking about this the other day, kek.
Don't forget about Anna Karazamov Loedor Tolstoyevsky
Ethan Gutierrez
Fair enough, the phrasing just got me. Its more oftne than not retarded insecure teenagers who post "Am I weird/ fucked up for thing X/ thing Y?" who seek validation for being different and as far as I know these kids are a huge part of the reddit population.
Mason King
It's probably because it's commonly referenced in an ironic way in plenty of comedies without really acknowledging Hamlet.
I've found that I've recognised plenty of famous quotes from the novels/plays I've read without realising they originated from that source solely because as a child I'd hear them referenced or joked about in comedies/cartoons. Moby Dick was a pretty popular one to make jokes about by portraying a cartoon character as Ahab and focus on his "there she blows, arrggh whales are bad" mentality.
Adam Williams
I thought Alatriste was written by Francisco de Quevedo. I even put that on a test about the Alatriste movie.
Bentley Bennett
No, you're a pretentious faggot
Ayden Howard
shakespeare was the best writer

lel I thought Samuel Beckett and 12th Century Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Becket were the same person.
Dominic Morgan
Okay
Hunter Hernandez

I only recently found out that Siddhartha was not written by Jack Kerouac.
Lucas Turner
>there authors who can be called american and who are worthy of reading
Joseph Carter
>who is Faulkner Kill yourself ASAP.
Kayden Allen
faulkner isn't worthy to read though
Jack Jones
I always thought that Paradise Lost was written by an anonymous poet living the same time as the Hebrew prophets. I also thought that it was canonical Hebrew & Christian text. I guess Milton got the response he wanted. I mean, I was raised believing that the serpent in Genesis was Satan. Then, rereading the King James Bible as a uni student, I realize that the image of the "devil" doesn't appear at all in the Jewish canon.
Henry Harris
i thought anne mccaffrey was a children's author, up until about a year ago
Isaac Williams
I thought they were related
Anthony Walker
And you think Joyce is?
Absolute pleb.
