I've read pretty much meme author shilled on this board. I am 30 years old and did a masters in Philosophy and am well acquainted with the classics. Is it possible to reach a point where literature no longer appeals? Ocassionally I order obscure works of philosophy and newer literary fiction but rarely do they keep my interest. I've pretty much exhausted everything that interests me at Half-Price and Barnes and Nobles. What do? Reading is/was my only hobby but now it gives me no pleasure... am I post-literature?

I'm too young to answer that question but I would guess that everybody's passion comes and goes occasionally, and you should just go try something new for a while until you want to come back to reading. Get into art film.

In the same boat as you, m8.

You have a humber of options (non-mutually exclusive, mind):

Turn to religion and spirituality, learn a canonical language while you're at it: Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, Tibetan, whatever floats your boat.

Take the equivalent of the Bogpill and seek out the most mindboggling cod philosophy you can and make a deep study of that. The more offbeat and esoteric, the better. (We're talking like borderline occultism stuff here, anon.)

Then start writing the kind of shit you'd want to read yourself. A journal makes a good beginning.

First and foremost though, it sounds like you just need to recharge your batteries and get more fresh air and exercise, and overcome the latent depression you probably have.

Good luck!

Learn a foreign language and start to read books in it. It will be a new challenge and it takes some years to master a foreign language.

It is also good for the brain
