Do you think I'd should write a book about the story of humanity inspired by the new age, UFO, illoominati stories?

Cum splendor lunae fulgescat ab aethere purae,
tu sta sub divo cernens speculamine miro,
qualiter ex luna splendescat lampade pura
et splendore suo caros amplectitur uno
corpore divisos, sed mentis amore ligatos.
Si facies faciem spectare nequivit amantem,
hoc saltim nobis lumen sit pignus amoris.
Hos tibi versiculos fidus transmisit amicus;
si de parte tua fidei stat fixa catena,
nunc precor, ut valeas felix per saecula cuncta.

Does anyone else do sporadic reading?
It's the name I give to my own kind of reading.
I basically only roll my eyes through pages, reading only short sentences and assimilating whatever knowledge possible from that. I go back and forth in a book, it's like I'm scanning it randomly, part after part qnd only certain pieces because I can't read it orderly. It's probably a consequence of attention deficit disorder.
Sometimes it can be a really useful and functional way of reading. I don't blame you.
OP you'd enjoy "The Atrocity Exhibition" by Ballard
Also, have you tried reading aphorisms?
>>9175839
What is it useful for?
Let me preface this by saying that I really do enjoy reading, studying literature and philosophy is one my passions, but...
I just find it easier to watch movies and tv shows, I can deeply analyse a coen brothers film like I can a book, but the book always has more value. Am I just becoming intellectually lazy? When I was younger (6-10) I'd stay up all night reading YA fiction, and up until around 14 I was doing the same with the classics. Now at 18 reading can be tiresome. Its not that reading is hard-my ability has scaled evenly-, and its not uninteresting, I'm just more enticed by other media.
Is there a remedy for this. I'm not looking for a panacea per say, just something to help.
>I like this thing, but I'm starting to like other things more

>tfw too alpha to care about philosophy
When will you nerd virgins learn that fiction is the way to a woman's heart

say ur a retarded piece of shit, but u want to start reading books because it sounds like itd be fun, but the internet has damaged ur brain and u can hardly read something for more than 10 minutes before wanting to do something else. what short, good stories or books or anything would u read or what would u do?
>>9175066
i dont watch anime or play videogames
help i dont want to end up dumber!
So i wrote this erotic space drama. The aesthetics is that of a retro-futuristic 80's. It's set in tbe year 1999 and it's SUPER sexual, but in a cancerous comedic sense. A bunch of vaping bros that crash land their spaceship in Uranus after being penetrated by a bunch of aliens.
I need a title, but I'm so uninspired
>>9175007
Voyage of the Phallus: Uranus is our Home
how do they deal with the fact that Uranus is a gas giant? where did they land?

I just picked this up. What do I think of it?
You thought it was about something else and became disappointed.

BUMP!
Reminder that a true sommelier of literature must spit out and reject intellectual filth and drop undeserving books with solemn firmness.
Only a pseud brainlet finishes all books, like a peasant who licks the table in search of the crumbs
I stopped Atlas Shrugged 5 chapters in because /lit/ told me it was for pseudo intellectual children. I can't think for myself

This takes time, however. A true patrician begins believing in the integrity of absolutely every classic, and reads everything through the pains be damned until at least the age of 17, 20 tops. Otherwise, true, true..

What do you mean
This is a brilliant satire only topped by the works of the likes of James Joyce himself
> This misrepresentation of science is a direct descendant of the reaction, in the Romantic movement, against the birth of science and empiricism more than 200 years ago; it's exactly the same paranoid fantasy as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, only not as well written. We say descendant, but of course, the humanities haven't really moved forward at all, except to invent cultural relativism, which exists largely as a pooh-pooh reaction against science. And humanities graduates in the media, who suspect themselves to be intellectuals, desperately need to reinforce the idea that science is nonsense: because they've denied themselves access to the most significant developments in the history of western thought for 200 years, and secretly, deep down, they're angry with themselves over that.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis
>The replication crisis (or replicability crisis) refers to a methodological crisis in science in which scientists have found that the results of many scientific experiments are difficult or impossible to replicate on subsequent investigation, either by independent researchers or by the original researchers themselves.[1] While the crisis has long-standing roots, the phrase was coined in the early 2010s as part of a growing awareness of the problem.
