Hey /lit/, today's my 18th birthday and I haven't really read that many books in my life so far. Will I never be well-read/patrician?
If you're asking this on /lit/ then no.
Today is my 22nd. Happy birthday to us.
If you wanna read then read anon, you're responsible for your own life.

I started reading seriously when I was in a psych ward at 19 years of age for 6 month. I now have read close to 1900 books. We all can do it bro.

Most people don't start reading for pleasure until they get to college at 18. So no, it's not too late.
>he didn't start with the greeks as a toddler
You'll never make it bruh

One is born a patrician. You don't become one by reading a few books.

Look up the Tolstoy reading list. He has books recommended specifically for Eighteen year olds.
