is reading literature a mistake? Lets face it, in this day and age, literature doesnt hold the same prestige as it once did. Is reading literature the equivalent of watching movies in this day? Maybe the book had tremendous influence in humanity, but of what use is it when you're living on the streets, miserable with nothing but a scant recollection of ideas somebody else said 2000 years ago. Lets face it, this is recreation at best, a hobby, nothing to take seriously, cause once you do, oh boy, theres no coming back. Do us a favor and focus on something else.

It makes you smart though.

No, it just makes you feel smart. This is also the only reason people enjoy "subtlety," because understanding something that's not obvious makes you feel smart. And, to a certain extent, it should, but don't fall into the trap of thinking you're actually becoming smarter just by reading 2deep4u lit.

reading is spooky
Literature is for stupid people who pretend to be smart.
Smart people read non-fiction and technical books to learn about the world instead of circlejerking with fellow tards over some faggot artsy fartsy writer.

I unironically like the images of Robert Motherwell, and I want to take the trouble to register this.
