I do all of this, but the difference is I don't tell anybody, I don't think that makes me better than anyone, I just hold it in that I believe Infinite Jest and Gravitys Rainbow are the best novels of all time.
Pretty strange if you ask me

Don't feel down about it, if you work hard enough you could be a modern day Renaissance man.

>>8525006
Is it me or does this accurately describe modern 21st century life?

Or has it always been this way?

This doesn't have to be case if you're actually gifted and sensitive for the arts.

I consider myself well-versed in all the arts and, believe it or not, I think many people who ''rush'' from obsession to obsession, if it's a worthwhile one, are still somewhat above average.

Most of the society doesn't even have a single obsession, single field of art to be fluent in, literally nothing in their life experienced on a non-superficial level. >>8525496 is right in a way.

You are a meme

Can I have your vinyls?

It could be a phase, but my love of the written word had been pretty enduring, it fades and comes back in terms of literature, but I always find myself reading something, wether it be Internet articles, reviews or critiques

god this board sucks

stop being so self-loathing.
