When did you feel the most retarded in relation to literature?

When I was 17 I read Brave New World and I didn't realize the guy hanged himself at the end I thought he was just twirling around like ballet dancer.

Didn't get that Sun Also Rises Man didn't have a benis

In 9th grade I wrote an essay on Into the Wild calling Chris McCandless an idealistic little bitch. Now I'm an adult and all I want to do is run away.

I want to run away as well but still realise McCandless is an idealistic little bitch.

My current goal is a studio apartment with a home gym and delivered groceries being a shut-in with a big rig PC and a VR headset.

The wilderness is just more work.

The first time I read The Catcher in the Rye, I didn't realize Holden raped his sister, Phoebe.

Among the first books I read in English was The Grapes of Wrath. I had many such moments, like when I finally figured out that "pitcher" meant picture.

This is full on chestslobber tier but in Blood Meridian McCarthy uses "naked to the waist" to mean shirtless. For at least a quarter of the book I thought it meant dudes were sitting dick-out around campfires

How long do you think the judge's penis is?

In high school I read Perks of Being a Wallflower and I skipped the one line where Charlie reveals he got raped, my teacher gave my that "u serious nigga" look
