How do I get my friends to like literature?

>>8948888
Get new friends

>>8948905
The rest of my school are sport obsessed bogans who actively recoil at words longer than 3 syllables and haven't picked up a book in years. There is no one else.

>>8948888
It's probably safe to now say your friends are eternally pleb, the current-but-not-final mass productions of the late-capitalist hegemonic Culture Industry.

>>8948888
Check'd

Also, you can't; just realize that they don't have the same interests as you.

Stick with us until you get to college, and then you'll meet people with similar interests.

Turn the focus internal senpai, stop worrying about having someone to talk to about books and just reflect on them

>>8948905
Or just fucking use the internet to discuss /lit/ you chachski

>>8948888
kill them

>>8948888
>having friends
why? they just waste your time, time you could be using to read books

>>8948924
Because I oscillate wildly between misanthropy and soul crushing loneliness, and having some friends is a good stop gap for the loneliness.

Stop being friends with vagina people

>>8948927
>and soul crushing lonelines
get a tenga masturbator

Checkin those quads
Also 18 but in college. I had the same problem so i just picked my smartest friend and started reading books at the same time as him. We discussed them together while he was still in the phase you described your friends being in. Worked well, now he /lit/.

The 'penis people' of my school are neanderthals. I mean, I'm not opposed to sport and hold two black belts, but that is all they think about, getting drunk, skanks and football.

>>8948954
In which martial arts?

>I am in late high school (yes I'm 18)
Don't worry about it, you'll have an entire new set of people within a year.

Where's your life going after you graduate?

>>8948954
I remember being an 18 year old loser, good times.

>>8948954
That's because they're kids. Kids are idiots, you included

people who care about canon and classics at that age are one in a million

uni unplebs people. there they get people of rank and authority telling them the greeks are dope and super deep and you will be something if you read doorstoppers a, b and c.

the sudden change in "taste" is pretty cringy to witness. i know this guy whose YA infested shelf filled with meme lit and greeks/phil stuff over the course of two semesters, i mean bless his heart but the it's so obviously not genuine .. i suspect he posts here too

Traditional karate and Judo.

I used that phrasing because the person I replied to used 'vagina people'. It was in context.

>>8948985
Honestly it's only because both my parents are readers, and not readers of Lee Child and Anna Jacobs. Every room has a bookshelf filled with literature and history books (my dad did history at uni).

So the consensus is just, wait till university, you can't change a thing? Well, that's dissapointing.

>>8949173
>trying to change people
you really are young

>>8949178
Not their inherent personalities, just help them to discover that there's more to read out there.

>>8948888
>that the classics are sexist/racist/whatever (so I'm friends with some borderline SJWs,
No, you're friends with literal SJW's. People who believe this should honestly kill themselves. You're probably a cuck if you unironically hang out around people like this. Kys. Literature is a solitary hobby anyways. If you can't find most of your enjoyment alone, you're just posturing and want to be known as a /lit/ person.

>>8949197
It's semi ironic. I just don't talk about politics with them, nor do they think about it much. That was just their answer when I asked.

Yes, reading is solitary, yes I'm an introvert and enjoy my own company, I'd just like one or two people my own age to talk about books with.

>i'm an introvert
>has friends

Just throw /lit/ your skype or something.

Eternal Plebitude of the Plebeian Mind. I'm afraid there's no curing it.

He said he's an introvert, not an aspie.

By reading it and genuinely enjoying it and discussing your interests with them without the intent of trying to sell them or convince them to do things your way or like the things you like.

The best way to lead is by example, not proselytizing

>>8951658
literally no difference

>>8952082
There is a difference. Some people prefer and cherish time to themselves but are still capable of functioning in a social setting and understanding conversational context and the human emotions expressed by others.

An aspie cannot.

Take a page out of 1984.
Use rats.
