Is there any other reason to read instead of the beauty of the words being putting together to get a magnificent painting of the world?

Literature is about the form not the message.

Friend I don't think you have grasped the purpose of this board.

I read for prose and themes.
Plot is meme shit. If you read for plot you might as well go back to high school.

Must suck to be dumb.

Amidst this sudden dawn of high technology, books are pretty much only read for prose nowadays. If you want plot, go watch a film or read some YA.

Reading literature for the prose is like eating soup because you like spoons

Reading for prose is like going to an art museum for the colors. This is something only the most extreme of faggots do.

>>9777247
That's a dumb analogy.

Soup is the content, spoon is the delivery method. Plot is the content, prose is the delivery method.

Why else would you consider a spoon's existence, if it weren't for that fact?

Color is to visual arts as vocabulary is to prose.

Best thing is, nobody asks you to choose. Reading for the whole experience, plot, prose, message, characters, and everything included, is the only patrician way.

positively absurd
