Have you tried reading?

>>9082877
Yeah but I don't really like it. Any other suggestions?

Reading. Books, especially

I don't have time to read. I have many important things to do.

What about summaries or cliff notes? Wikipedia even, do I have to do all the work?

You should definitely try reading.

just pretend to be well read, it fools everyone.

>>9082896
No you just have to read and if you consider that work then you're on the wrong board

>>9082920
Can't I just pay someone to read for me?

Someone needs to invent a more efficient method of gathering info from books.

there really is nothing else you can do other than reading.
if you get in a conversation with someone who actually IS well read, he's gonna call you out on you bullshit.

one word, friend: subvocalization

>>9082948
and why would you care to talk to an pretentious introvert like that?

>>9082944
I wish that were a real job.

How is it possible that so many people get baited so badly

exactly. just fucking read OP it's not that difficult, and if it is, just google around until you understand it. Becoming well read takes time, it doesn't happen overnight.

That's pretty much what a professor is. They read and study the texts and tell you the most important parts and maybe tell you to read a few pages yourself.

That is for science, history, philosophy, etc. Of course for literature you will have to read for yourself.

Fuck off to your shithole

>>9083300
that doesn't even make any sense.

>>9083375
I said FUCK OFF back into your shithole

>>9083391

Is Donald Trump the most lit president? I think he's so smart that he must have read alot.

>>9082896
Yes you can do that, that's what I do. I have read about the plot of hundreds of classics on Wikipedia (and sometimes looked elsewhere on the web for more info I've decided it's one of my favourite books that I haven't read) and have been able to have conversations with people about them. In the mean time, it frees me up to read long fantasy series and play vidya.

sparknotes is pretty ordinary. it shoehorns in a lot of the same predictable high school themes like class differences and gender roles and backs them up with forced symbolism - it's tailormade for high school essays, if all the "which harry potter character are you?" and "10 ways to see if your crush is into you!" on the sidebar didn't clue you in.

it's also ubiquitous, if your talking about a book with someone, they've almost certainly read the sparknote and will be able to call you out if you parrot their analysis

>Don't have time
Make it one of your hobbies. Cut out an inferior hobby if you need to.
