Why does there seem to be a time in a person's life when they stop caring about new literature, new music, new art, etc unless it's their job to keep in touch?
I feel like many people give the whole "art" thing a go when they're in like, their late teens to late twenties, but then it usually stops, their tastes grow conservative and they become close minded.
Why do you think that is? And do you think this means they were never really into art in the first place?
And pls no "they don't time to do it" meme

You eventually come to realize it's all shit, and then you either give up or pursue a manner in which to make it not shit.

>implying conservatives are close minded
Take the fucking. It's called learning reality with facts and rationality as you mature and value science and tradition and become a logical thinker with experience and conclude certain things about women and nonwhites that idealistic brainwashed youths won't accept

Fuck lit, why is this book so hard to read? I've The Stranger and that book was really easy, I read it in a day. Something about 1984 though, it just tires me out so much, I always get that feeling where I stop reading and I get caught up in my own thoughts, and I feel like I'm re-reading sentences over and over again and it takes a while for the sentences to really sink in. I have a feeling that it's because the book talks about stuff which isn't just average, every day stuff. It's very descriptive and the descriptions often don't match the stuff you'd usually think about and hear about, where as Camus just talks about a guy going through his every day life. The book is extremely difficult for me to pay attention to and I don't know why.

I do not think the book is that difficult. I think the translation my mom bought me (in my native language) has Animal Farm before 1984, and I read them in that order. So I got used to how Orwell writes. I think it's just that the guy from 1984 looks at things around him and the one from The Stranger just looks at his own feelings.

I've wanted to write for years a story about a young man facing his first existential crisis. Thing is, this kind of stories seem to be really common.
What are some fresh views on existentialism and maybe religion? What kind of story and what kind of themes would you enjoy reading that wouldn't seem just like your average teenage angst?

Does the word "eternaz" ring a bell to you? What language is this? French? Greek? I can't find the meaning of it. I saw it in a dream last night.
