Not even close.

You am writer.

Not really, but you are walking the path, anon, keep at it.

More importantly, you should be asking yourself what did you learn from reading the book? What can you apply to your life? Once you become a patrician you will understand that only answers to these questions matter.

Feels pretty OK tbph

Did you read it carefully enough or did you rush through it to be able to say "I read it"? Reading without understanding is the lowest anti-intellectualism. None of us are impressed, anon. You should just an Hemingway.

I read it in high school but it was in AP Lit, so idk if that counts.
This book is fucking fire though m8.

I read it slowly enough to enjoy it. What am I supposed to learn to apply in my own life from, say, The Sound and the Fury?

>>8407821
uh that isn't Absalom, Absalom

Not apply in your own life, but learn. Reading to apply things in your own life is the wrong way to go.
