Are you capable of reading serious novels anymore? How do you deal with the fact that you started reading out of a genuine interest or search for enjoyment but you are now being held hostage by people and told that you must read at least 152 books a year with the efficiency of an MBA who schedules his free time? And you have to loudly say you have read and reread the classics and claim you enjoyed them all, due to the fact that in a completely dead art form that has atrophied in to ornaments for social posturing, personal taste is not allowed?

Yes.
I'm not.

I started reading fairly modern philosophy out of a genuine interest and found I simply had to read a lot more before I did that. It's no big deal for me, more of an adventure, but I've realised I'm going to have to pick up the pace reading to get through it all yes.

Personal taste isn`t allowed anymore because of literally critiscim. Since it became a university thing, it is much more like a science now, meaning that reasearchs can`t hold personal tastes.
And we are in an age where literally criticism dictates our readings habits.
