When I was falling out of love with literature, I kept asking people in English departments why they loved reading, and they never gave me a good answer. Just one good answer, I'm sure, would have turned me around.
I only come here because /r9k/ makes me depressed. Fuck reading.

What pisses me off is the total apathy these people have towards "aliteracy".
No alarm bells sounding when prominent literary critics don't even read the works they're criticizing?
That's fucking INSANE, and proof that literature is dead. Leaf it to a Can(c)uck to be so impassive in the face of people destroying what he (claims to) love.

Also digusted by the author's supposed "love of slaughtering sacred cows." What kind of monster would love to defile things? Some sickening inhuman creature, but not a human being.
I'm not aliterate. I'm misoliterate. I think all books should be burned, or as many as possible. We should strive to destroy as much as we can. That way, people won't even be able to trick themselves into thinking they're having fun anymore.

i think it wouldn't be hard for every person in this thread to name ten books that they think everyone should read, and which nobody else in this thread has even heard of.
there is just too much stuff out there to read all of it. best you can hope is to find things you like and things that are similar to that. for example, Michael Moorcock -> Fritz Leiber -> Jack Vance -> E.R.Eddison.
that's what Veeky Forums SHOULD be about in my arrogant opinion. execute the Zizekposters, or exile them to /x/ with all the other Philosophags, so we can get back to talking about bloody books and not cults of personality.

The only good answer is that they loved reading because it felt good to read. Every other reason is superfluous or can be diluted to that.

I'm 32 and I've read more in the past than I did during my adolescence and 20s. It's really difficult because pop fiction has taken over all of my favorite genres and everything is so terrible.
