>told myself I'd stop reading wealth of nations and nichoas Nickleby and ranted about them on lit
>now feel too guilty to do it even though I tried to read wealth of nations again and read only 10 pages before getting really bored
>read some of Nicholas Nickleby and in a rare point where Dickens has Nicholas shoe any personality it was the same boring expected "muh honour muh sister" shit

The sign of a dead art form is that you can't use your own taste. Everything has become a mechanism for social signalling.

English literature in general is a female dominated low risk university degree leading to a half assed office job for well connected vanity careerist women to be near the investment bankers / power centre of their country.

Nothing worthwhile happens within the novel format these days. It is dead.

It's funny how /lit/ sees it as forbidden to discuss the business aspects of literature yet will only take words seriously if they're in the novel format.

It's funny how the creation of his has allowed literature to stand alone on this board and lit has absolutely nothing to say because the medium is dead. /his/ has the pseudo intellectual cred now
