You don't need to be good at math to do CS. You'll make more money with a degree in CS than a degree in English.

Was Shakespeare the first person to use the forbidden lovers trope, or was he just the first person to do it well and popularize it? No way he was the first person to think of something like Romeo and Juliet.

If intended, a species of off rhyme, i.e. a legit poetic device, or usage. Can be quite effective.

So I found my problem with literature: I have so many books I want to read, that when I finally sit down to read a book, I can't get into it to properly enjoy it because I'm more focused on finishing it than experiencing it.

How the fuck do I experience a book?

I am an autist so I of course read fanfictions before I sleep, and I'll frequently sit up for hours at a time past my regular sleeping schedule reading entire 250,000 word stories effortlessly and tirelessly.

Why is it different for books? Why can't I get into books like I can with fanfiction?

Do you enjoy reading books? Or do you just want to be a person who enjoys reading books?

In twenty or thirty years you'll have read thousands of books so why stress about finishing them? It's not a race.
>>
>>9502875
I have this problem too. The trick is to not think of any other books while you're reading a book.

Well don't tell anyone I said this, but he was diagnosed with a massive tumor. It's not all fat down there actually. Due to the increased income from book sales, Martin was able to avail himself of prostitutes, by which he was informed, during the eating out of his asshole, that he should get that lump checked out.
>>
>>9502756
I don't see any possible way he is going to survive to finish the series. Assuming AWOW will be out before the end of this year (It won't). It takes him on average an entire decade to finish a book. By that time he'll be pushing 80 and at his weight... nah.
>>
>>9502778
Correction: Half a decade, but even then.

Why does referencing other things make a work "better?" This kind of logic is applied to books, movies (Woody Allen), music (rap).. yet doesnt seem to hold any real value

Woody Allen is a fine director, despite his annoying namedroping, not because of it.

Who said that? The answer is nobody. You, and everyone like you, create the idea in your head when something intimidates you with references you dont know. Its a defense mechanism. You project the implication that someone like an artist or an author who does that is trying to make the statement that the reference is inherent to the quality of the work. But they're really, really not. Because they're not saying anything. They're just making art. It's a delusion, perpetuated only by insecure fuckboys who, instead of broadening themselves when confronted with something intimidating, instead try to call into question the entirety of the system that made them uncomfortable.

Just stop it. If you don't get a reference, go fucking figure it out, or put the book down. Either answer is correct. What is incorrect is to, instead of interacting with what is front of you, to intellectually retreat into your turtle shell and desperately try to explain away everything above your head. This is such pseud mentality, and its everywhere. Shake it off, homeboy. Do a fucking google search. Quit hating yourself.
