The people visiting this board are mostly very young and are probably just about to find out what they enjoy to read and how to analyze a book.
There's nothing wrong with being a pseud at this stage.

Isn't there a colossal difference between being a pseud and being new to something? OP is probably more referring to all the posturing (and shitposting) on this board than anything.

I am here because I am looking to seriously get into writing, even if it's just subject fiction (though I do have several ideas for novels that do not fit that description), and am gravitating towards threads that would help me in this regard. Right now I'm in a job with long hours that doesn't leave me much time to write, but I've been told there is potential in my work, so I'm hoping next year a new job will leave me with more time to really get going on things.

90% of most things are pseuds, it's par for the course.

Tolstoy sucks. He was a moral slaverapist, you know.

No, I would venture to say 100% of the users of this board are pseuds. I have not read a good post on here since 2013. I still visit because I am also a masochist.

Well, I read. (I am an English major!) In fact it would surprise me if anyone on this board isn't actually reading. But I keep seeing this insecurity on /lit/ like nobody reads or reading is some esoteric art.
What's going on? Is it a bunch of low self esteem readers afraid they are not as good readers as they could be?
I would venture 90% of this board are daily readers. Short of being a sociopath, I can't imagine any reason why someone would discuss a book they haven't read online.

yes

>>9169989
Well i do not care, as everything that I see and percieve is fake. I doubt reality exists without my mind

>>9171016
I'd have to agree. I think most people on /lit/ do read, or are interested in starting to read. I don't believe there are many "fakers" pretending to have read certain books just to shit-post.

I think you would be more horrified if they were scholars who were using 4chan for memes instead of holding intellektual conversaitions with you and doing so out of their own informed choice. I'll have to say, no, mostly because you crying yourself to sleep is more likely if I do.

Is it just that English types are the most beta, self doubting, mentally unstable, and projecting?
