>not posting Mein Kampf (in german obv) as your savior book

It wasn't so much the books as the pseudo-intellectualism. We were high school seniors, and she had us look up things like Post-Structuralism for an overnight assignment to never bring it up again. For one of our last assignments on literary lenses, she suggested one group of students read Phenomenology of the Spirit, though none of them had read philosophy before. It was irritating at first, but came to be amusing the more silly it got.

You can't judge that just by yourself.

You gotta put your work out into the world

Same happens to me to an extent. It just means you're surpassing yourself. Either that or declining, but if you're really focusing and writing you're not getting worse unless you're being influenced by something shitty.

>D-does this mean I'm making progress?
Yes, but measured by your current self, who is an egocentric cunt and always thinks he knows best.

I'm sure people who by a lot of external standards are regressing still feel like they're making progress since they're acting in the way that they think is best giving the current conditions.

People almost always think they're doing the right thing, so if your past self was doing something else, it's easy to write him off.

Sometimes when I'm bored and playing Xbox, I join a game with my mic next to my phone while it plays a reading of the book. I usually let it go the first 20-30 minutes then start it over. Never fails when it gets to that part.

Is there any historical analogue to this? Like at any time in history has poetry this irredeemably shit been published and enjoyed by the masses? Or are we actually living in uniquely (for lack of a better word) degenerate times?

Sad brown girl uses her ethnicity as a privileged desi as a prop to sell her mediocre prose which essentially boils down to getting pumped and dumped by whiteboi Chad

I'm kind of jealous.

Fantasize about doing this when I'm done with Infinite Jest all the time. I'm gonna nail the wall with that pretentious fucker.

I know, it fucking sucks. I'm 19 and parents put no discipline on any kind of technology. Listening to rain helps me read though books and keeps my mind focused.

I normally listen to sacred music while I read, stuff like Adagio for Strings with Agnus Dei, or perhaps russian orthodox choirs, as an example.
Or maybe something like
