>Everyone's experiences should be respected. All we have is experience. Analysis is secondary.
no the experience of noone deserves respect
for a fact it deserves tolerance at best

besides that i see not why one would try to prove wrong what is true

Pretty decent argumentation, I get what you're aiming for.
I do disagree with your disregarding of philosophy as unfalsifiable drivel. The idea of falsification itself is a philosophical concept, so you would need philosophy to call it drivel in the first place..
Second, I do think that philosophy is relevant to literature in the sense that it trains your mind for recognizing themes and it gives you great tools to think further on these themes.
Third, I don't see how disregarding philosophy has anything to do with the rest of your argumentation. I would just leave it out next time..

Another thing that you haven't convinced me about is the language argument. I agree that mono vs multi language is a stupid debate, but I don't believe there is more 'value' in being monolingual. For example if oyur first language is not English, learning English opens up so much more to read and learn than any other language that it seems hard to argue for the value of sticking with only French for example.

But besides these two, well memed.

I became an avid reader like three months ago and I can't stop. I stopped watching tv and I don't spend much time on 4chan anymore.

Here's how I did it.

-Remember the average person reads like zero books a year. If you read 5 pages a day, you are 5 pages above the average person

-Don't force yourself to read. Commit to read 5 pages a day. I swear after three days you'll feel like reading more and after a month or so you should be reading 50-100 pages a day for pleasure

-Read various books at the same time. When I grab a difficult book or one that makes me sleepy I grab another and switch. This should refresh your head. Keep them thematically different. I read economics and fiction.

-It isn't a race. Reading slowly won't make you sleepy that fast. Try to acknowledge what books are for you to read fast and which aren't.

-Buy the physical copies. When you get the books from your own money you'll feel the need to read them to avoid the feel of wasting your money.

-Start with books highly discussed here so you feel motivated to discuss.

You actually thought I would read that Trump wall of text, kek

Not him. You didn't put up any arguments, only your long and goofy opinions.
Here's a screencap for your trouble.

>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


Why do you think YA and Genre ficition is so popular? because it has literary merit? lol no, because a slew of idiots think they're good.

Moby Dick was hated when it came out and ruined Melville's reputation. It was only after he died that people starting thinking it was good
