The grandfather had possible Freemason ties, and his family moved to America from Germany around 200 years ago.

easy for him to say he didn't even have internet so it was probably silent all the time

He sucks. He's a mediocre piece of shit.

>tfw have Tinnitus and so will never respect silence

No, I've never felt too immature to appreciate a book and nothing is stopping you from giving it a go and putting it down until you're more "matured" if you find it too difficult or whatever.

op, it's ok if you read a book twice, no one's gonna laugh at you

Start writing

Learn about etymology

to be competent at writing you have to write a lot, keep doing it and don't get overly attached to your ideas

you won't be writing anything worthwhile for a long time though so whether your names sound stupid or not doesn't really matter

I don't think /lit/, for all of its handwringing about truth and wisdom, addresses propriety enough, especially within the domestic sphere. Creating a welcoming environoment is so important and there are so few sources on it that arent essentially clickbait, or some victorian source.

Like I am throwing a house party in a few weeks and am planning Italian. Is that a faux pas, especially in summer? And I was considering inviting some people from a significantly lower socio-economic grouping. Is that an error as well?

faggot.

Most of the people I know consider me well read, but the more I learn the more ignorant I feel and the less likely I am to provide my opinion on a topic.

And here, poor fool! with all my lore. I stand, no wiser than before

If there's one thing you don't need to write a book, it's degree.

>>8076927
This. Degrees are just endorsements of your ability to, essentially, read what you're supposed to and produce essays.
