>>9222973
I actually do sometimes read for entertainment. What the fuck are you going to do about it, faggot?

>>9223042
Fedora wearers are redditors who read pulp fiction like King, Tolkien, and Rowling.

>>9223064
Your punishment is already set as a consequence of your action.

>>9222973
>Literature isn't cheap entertainment
Does not follow. I enjoyed the critique of pure reason (and still do) but it was never entertaining. Shoo shoo brainlet.

>>9223083
I doubt you actually read it with your lousy comprehension.

>>9223067
Fedora wearers are shitty people who feel superior to everyone else because they are "well read".

I read for enjoyment but I also read to learn. Assuming people are unable to enjoy great literature simply makes it obvious that you fail to understand literature.

>>9222973
>Reading for the plot is like ordering a meal for the plate
>Food analogies
And is actually the opposite. Reading for the prose is ordering for the plate. The plot is the food and the literary merit is the taste.

So you don't enjoy learning...?

>>9223088
Begone, chimpanzee.

>>9223094
If you think only plot and prose exist then you're really fucking stupid and you don't know how to read.

>>9222973
>You don't read for enjoyment

You don't enjoy reading?

>I enjoyed this book
This shit is exactly why I don't bother with crap like Youtubers since they don't have many opinions outside of this giving statement. All they care about is easy viewing numbers and don't have anything profound to say.

>>9223093
If you think literature is entertaining, rather than thought provoking, you don't know how to read.
If you enjoy literature, then you're a smug hypocrite taking pleasure in your perceived notion of intelligence. We learn from literature, if you find that to be a task for enjoyment, rather than a search for meaning and truth in a world of constant suffering, then you're an oblivious moron.

>>9222973
Sometimes I read books that I have no business reading, and understand very little; I just imagine the scenes as best as I can, and just read for the sake of reading.

Why do you have to 'learn'?

>>9223147
Learn how to read before you try. You're trying to fly a plane with no experience.

>>9223152

I read Camus, schopenhauer, nietzche just like i've described. I enjoyed the reads, perhaps I didn't understand fully their intentions and ideas but why do I have to?

>>9223162
You don't have to understand them, but there's no point reading them if you don't. You won't gain anything.

>>9223132
Entertaining and thought-provoking are not antonyms.

>We learn from literature, if you find that to be a task for enjoyment, rather than a search for meaning and truth in a world of constant suffering, then you're an oblivious moron.

You are implying I don't find learning to be entertaining. All your arguments are either built around a belief that it is impossible to find learning fun, which is completely untrue, or ad hominem-attacks (e.g. "then you're an oblivious moron") which proves that you don't have a clue about what literature and philosophy truly are about.

>>9223082
What punishment? I actually like life

>I'm better than you because I don't enjoy anything
you have to be a grad student or something, none of the english majors I met in UG were this bad

>>9222973
ok. ok. wow. just... ok. you're a fucking faggot

>he reads fiction to 'learn'

You're too naïve to comprehend a single philosophical statement.

You obviously don't know how to read, so go back to r/books and talk about pleb shit like Tolkien with your kin.

>>9222973
i poop my pants but people who poop their pants for fun are lame i am the pants pooping experts i poop my pants all the time because pooping my pants is the right thing to do, not because i want to or even like to poop my pants. you're not a real pants pooper.

>>9223386
I bet you read Tolkien, you retarded pleb.

>Why do people say shit like this?

Why do people say shit like this? You aren't some fucking authority on the conduct of opinion sharing. We talk to make talk, not everything must be the profound thought of the months to come.

>>9223132

You don't enjoy learning? Have you ever considered that maybe you're a dunce who isn't really learning at all or maybe you're a pseud who doesn't understand anything but pretends you've increased in meaning and truth (and somehow that happens without you experiencing any of this truth or meaning in a way that actually effects your life).

Are you saying that it's an insult to be regarded as a reader of his work, or an insult that he is so lowly regarded in the literary world?

>>9227520
If you still enjoy life you haven't learned a fucking thing.

>>9222973
I read Textbooks to learn and literature for entertainment

>>9222973
