I don't read. I just come here to post bait that'll trigger leftists

I don't read much, and only began reading again to give me a reason to flirt with my neighbor's 12-year-old daughter.

i never want to finish a book. its all about the beginning for me. the middle usually gets boring. by the end of most books ive read, i want to just finish so i have an extra bookmark. say what you want about murakami, but he has been the only author that actually made the ending worthwhile. kafka on the shore, wild sheep chase. both just got more and more interesting until they ended. i dont think he's all that smart, but at least he is fun to read

Very funny

for audiobooks I use audiobookbay, so far the most reliable for me.

I use IRC to download ebooks, use this reddit tutorial to see how:

Jesus was the biggest meme of them all, Marx was a meme but not as big.

Riveting stuff

Can we ban these threads that don't really contribute anything except the faggot OP's approval or disapproval?

Discuss a work, start a discussion on an aspect of that you find interesting instead of this horseshit

he got lucky

>>8816230

What a pointless post.

Luck is just what observers call the parts of the process they didn't get to see.

He basically wrote Star Wars with dragons. I'm not familiar with the story of how he got published but I imagine it had something to do with "he wrote it when he was sixteen!!!!1!"

Books won't cure your autism. Being properly social is something you were supposed to learn with your autism therapist when you were young, but you didn't get to have one because either your family couldn't afford one or your single mom was in denial about your autism and thought you'll grow out of it eventually and so you grow up as a freak not knowing what's wrong with you because she never told you you were diagnosed and when it's too late and you're pretty much unemployable, she stops you from applying for disability due to autism because she still thinks if I smile and ask for the manager that's enough for me to get a job.

>properly social is something you were supposed to learn with your autism therapist when you were young
And what exactly stops me from learning it now?

>stops you from applying for disability
sadly theres no such thing in my cunt

Get a job that forces you to be social.

If you can't get a job for whatever reason, do some charity.

Pretty much force social interaction and you'll get better at it by time, books won't help you much.

The Bible

There are several attitudes towards Christmas,
Some of which we may disregard:
The social, the torpid, the patently commercial,
The rowdy (the pubs being open till midnight),
And the childish — which is not that of the child
For whom the candle is a star, and the gilded angel
Spreading its wings at the summit of the tree
Is not only a decoration, but an angel.

The child wonders at the Christmas Tree:
Let him continue in the spirit of wonder
At the Feast as an event not accepted as a pretext;
So that the glittering rapture, the amazement
Of the first-remembered Christmas Tree,
So that the surprises, delight in new possessions
(Each one with its peculiar and exciting smell),
The expectation of the goose or turkey
And the expected awe on its appearance,

So that the reverence and the gaiety
May not be forgotten in later experience,
In the bored habituation, the fatigue, the tedium,
The awareness of death, the consciousness of failure,
Or in the piety of the convert
Which may be tainted with a self-conceit
Displeasing to God and disrespectful to children
(And here I remember also with gratitude
St. Lucy, her carol, and her crown of fire):

So that before the end, the eightieth Christmas
(By “eightieth” meaning whichever is last)
The accumulated memories of annual emotion
May be concentrated into a great joy
Which shall be also a great fear, as on the occasion
When fear came upon every soul:
Because the beginning shall remind us of the end
And the first coming of the second coming.

Yep, thats me. Embarassing, right? Youre probably wondering how i got into this situation. It all started when I was chasing Alaska after hearing a loud CRASH from the kitchen, indicating mom had cooked us a Golden Retriever.

can you just answer

>>8816083

i did. both yours are shit. mine is better.

>>8815937
no

>>8815949
Yes, to be honest. Given the omnipresence of smartphones listening to music, podcasts and audiobooks on the go is more popular than ever. It's way more convenient than staring at a page while you're travelling.

>>8815987
it's the equivalent to having to put all of your food in the blender before eating.
