It looks like /r/books is ready to become avid readers
Which one of you meme-loving fucks did this?

If you think the 'reddit is filled with plebs' thing is just a meme or elitism you're sorely wrong. That is par for the course.

Wait, I thought this pasta was originally an actual reddit thread.
UPVOTED
I have been thinking about it and I think 'there were two enemies if you count god' was actually a good line. The reason it is a good line isn't the cleverness but how it opens a window into what events led up to making this guy hate god. It is a self defeatist, fuck everything, some crazy shit just went down line.

if I picked up a book I knew nothing about and that was the first line I would drop it and probably laugh audibly.
it's awful and it lays out its awfulness pretty neatly for you
>why am I reading a book this edgy
>why am I reading a book about an action-jackson loose-cannon macho protagonist with a kill-list
>why am I reading a book with obvious fundamental misconceptions about God that I now have to learn about
I don't want to read about how "some crazy shit just went down", I'd rather just watch a shitty action flick
Why is this board so goddamn obsessed with what reddit does? Just a few years ago we would have never even acknowledged their existence and just DISCUSSED LITERATURE. Enough is enough. Stop shitting up the board quality with threads like these.

Reading 5 pages a day to start out.... you got to be kidding me, if you're attention span is so bad you can only read 5 pages at a time go back to watching reality tv
>>8846382
Thats the funny part, it was designed to be a satire of reddit and ended up popular on reddit
>>8846467
your just jealous someones living their best life

They can't all be patricians like us who read up to 10 whole pages a day

>read various books at the same time
The rest of his points aren't bad, but that particular advice is laughably shit-tier. Dividing your attention and motivation with multiple books will only make you more likely to say fuck it and procrastinate even more.
Reading is supposed to be an enjoyable hobby, among other things, you know
>>8846462
some r*ddit thread which had people posting the first line of their novel in it.
>>8846439
I've been on lit for 4 years and never seen any actual discussion of literature.
