Nobody can read hardcore lit all the time, and we all like to unwind from time to time. I mean, okay, my mom's ex used to read fucking manuals, and he was the most boring, autistic fuck I ever had the misfortune of meeting. The point is:
Go for it. Post what you read when you read trash books. Post what you read when you want to unwind. Cast off that Veeky Forums patrician bullshit for a second and admit it.
I'll admit: when I feel like unwinding I read fanfiction and urban fantasies. I'm even planning on reading a Hellboy novelization. It's gonna be great (I hope).

Jesus dude. Are you okay?
Hudson Cook
I... I don't know...
Elijah Evans
So this is the mind of a pleb...
Hunter Ortiz
Yeah. I think about tentacle frenching, like, all the time.

I'm not very smart and the complex texts always go way over my head, so I stick to reading sci-fi and fantasy. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone with an IQ of 5 to not only read, but comprehend and really understand what I'm reading? Getting sick of having to put books down because I don't fucking understand any of it.
Nathan Bell
Okay, here you go:
I read Ligotti and Lovecraft, and even fucking Berserk.
Samuel Cook
Can you give me an example of a text you had this sort of trouble with?

To elaborate a little further, I can read something like Lord Jim or Catch 22 and understand the face value of whatever it is I'm reading, which is to say I understand the plot and what the characters are doing and blah blah blah, but I never know the implications of it. I don't catch on to the underlying themes or motifs or etc... In other words, my analysis is terrible (I think). heeeeelp meeeee

It's literally as simple as:
1) Read first sentence 2) If it makes sense, carry on to the next sentence with the context of the previous 3)if it doesn't make sense, think about the sentence until it does.
