This is a board about literature. You're not welcome here. Please take your plebeian garbage to /b/ or reddit, where you will find both a demographic and a general atmosphere more consistent with your tastes and your culture.

Also, what is the patrician book you are reading right now?

>>OP
>>you read any form of genre fiction
Fiction is the stuff of legends, the building block of mythos and religion.
>>OP
>>you think fantasy, science fiction, detective fiction, young adult fiction or horror are literature
They are better literature than some of the professed "classics" pseuds read
>>OP
>>you barely know your classics
Classics are by definition only read because a bunch of people thought they were good. This means that these people followed the norm of what was considered to be good, instead of experimenting with new authors no one's heard of
>>OP
>>you tend to believe that if you like a given work, it is justified on an artistic level
Notions of "artistry" in a text are pseudosophical self-inserted biases based upon what the "greater" artistic world at large would consider to be artistic
>>OP
>>you think everyone's opinion should be accepted and respected
Everyone's experiences should be respected. All we have is experience. Analysis is secondary.
>>OP
>>you speak a single language
If you speak multiple languages you will not be able to master all of them. A speaker of a single language can master his thought processes in one language instead of being a jack of trades in multiple scarcely examined languages
>>OP
>>you read for the plot
What else would one read for? Even your pseudosophical notions of "artistry" can only manifest themselves when a plot is present
>>OP
>>you don't have a solid grounding in philosophy
Philosophy is unfalsifiable drivel
>>OP
>>you do not at least have some understanding of the Three Tragedians and Homer
Not indispensable in the slightest
>>OP
>>you have little to no understanding of literature outside of your cultural horizon
There's enough literature in western culture to last one ten lifetimes
>>OP
>>you make your literary analysis proceed from ideology
>you engage in literary analysis in the first place
>>OP
>>you think intricate prose is 'pretentious' and that the author 'should just get to the point'
'Intricate prose' is another phrase for 'nice-sounding monkey noises arranged in such a way to get your chimp-brain to laugh like a chimp who just heard another chimp grunt in a certain way'
>>OP
>>your rarely read poetry
read above
>>OP
>>you think Rhythm and Rhyme is just useless rules and laws restricting creativity
The type of "creation" stemming from rhyme and rhythm is the precise aforementioned monkey noises designed to make your brain think that something amazing is going on. So not necessarily restricting creativity, but just redefining creativity to mean 'simplistic monkey entertainment'
>>OP
>>you have a hard time forming structured and relevant literary criticism
>engaging in literary criticism
>>OP
>>you rarely read for more than one or two hours straight
>doesn't spend more time writing and thinking and creating than he does reading
>>
>>9382344
Wow... just... wow, OP BLOWN THE FUCK OUT I'm posting this on reddit.

Novalis makes my dick hard, he looks like such a sexy little cock slut. Imagine cumming all over his plump soft lips. Mmmmmm

Been on 4chan for nearly ten years.
Still have never seen this pasta before.
I think it's good, just need to work on the sauce a bit.

Copypasta or not, everything is true. Anyone disagreeing is a lazy teenager.
