Why are you still wasting time on boring shit that dulls the mind, /lit/?

I kind of understand your reasoning but for me it was the opposite. I read both Dune and Hyperion and both were shite and since those are regarded as the great SF novels I discarded the entire genre.
I still like some P.K.Dick novels although I wouldn't classify him as strictly SF.

Why was 70s sci-fi so bad?
>>
the only science fiction I like is either Vonnegut or the occasional well-done short story
Even when I was younger I couldn't stand reading sci-fi and thought it was boring, preferring fantasy over it, but to each their own.

I think you mean fantasy.
Sci fi novels are just based on threadbare philosophy with wooden one dimensional good guys taking down the even more wooden and one dimensional baddies because because muh bringing morality to muh universe.

No feels in this book, or Ulysses. You might enjoy Kafka and Borges, too.

It isn't that difficult to learn, anon. It's worth it. Borges translations are so different from the originals.
