For sure. Lots of people read them. I think interest dwindled after the third or forth, though. Maybe I simply noticed that because I was in high school by the time the others came out.

/lit/ is a fairly slow board. The only threads that seem to get replies are decent bait threads, stacks threads, and bookshelf threads. Or like top X authors threads. Plus most people on here are shitposters who haven't even read anything except Harry Potter and Wikipedia summaries. I doubt any of them could write let alone mimic an author.

>tfw I don't want to sacrifice sleep
>tfw my main hobby is sitting, drinking coffee, browsing 4chan on my phone, watching normies, and feeling sad and pathetic about myself
>tfw profracstinated learning maths / programming / doing actual programming for months and now my wagie job has taken almost all of my time so I only procrastinate during evenings
>tfw my entire life, from school to university to now has simply been following the set path laid out for me with zero initiative, and I have reached this age and see that Chads and women go up the escalator of good times and success while the conveyor belt leads to the grinder for the non Chad males

How do you cope with the fact that you're a retarded frogfaggot that keeps posting the exact same shitty thread full of autistic r9k pasta day after day without succumbing to depressingly gnawing yet ultimately correct impulse to kill yourself and rid both yourself and the world of the burden of your pathetic existence?

My life has mostly been large stretches of boredom occasionally punctuated by moments of anticipation and concomitant disappointment. My ability to seemingly dissolve my identity into great art or profound ideas sometimes seems to make it all worthwhile, but far too often even that eludes me. I'm trying to decide an age to off myself by if I haven't yet broken this shitcycle, maybe 35.

I realize that I'm a wrench in the gears and that makes me very, very satisfied considering my story.

I noticed I got faster at reading when I started using captions while watching tv and movies because you have a short time to read the whole sentence. As for reading through a decent chunk of a book quickly, minimize distractions so you don't end up rereading the same sentence or pausing too much.

I dog-ear every book I read, specifically bringing the corner of the page to the end of the paragraph I just read so I know my exact position in the book. I do this especially because I commute frequently and I can't always finish the chapter in time before I need to get off at my stop.

Neil Gaiman can be good sometimes.

Cormac McCarthy is the greatest living American writer at the moment. I don't think we'll see him finish his final book though unless if he lives to 109 years.

Marlon James is fantastic and you're missing out on something special if you haven't read A Brief History of Seven Killings.

Graphic novels have literary merit. But not capeshit comics.
