Why do people pretend like this board hasn't gotten far

all thats different is instead of endless kafka and camus threads we have endless youtube memes and off topic shit

>>9782747
Bring back the kafka and camus, I say

>>9782753

they'll be back in september when all the high schoolers get their assigned reading lists and come here to try to get us to do their homework for them

>>9782736

That's actually a better recommendation list. It doesn't assume everyone wants to read literary fiction.

Also there's people there reading the surrealist manifestos and shit

>>9782736
well that is a 2010 thread, so most of people on here were 13-18. Honestly not that bad considering that at the time most of 4chan was just a few boards and a decadent /b/

>>9782762
Yeah, some incredible works on there such as I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, The Dark Tower Book IV, and The End of Faith.

that thread has more people who actually read than todays board which is full of literal pseuds who just "intellect signal" with bookshelf threads filled with this theyve never read, or skimmed at best

The board will have people reading garbage on it if it has people who actually read on it.

Most people on /lit/ read like one book a month and chit chat about philosophy and literary culture and post their shitty poems.

That moron doesn't realize that ebooks are way smaller in page size because of the size of tablet screens.

It's nothing. You really shouldn't be here at all if you read that little

>high schoolers get their assigned reading lists
>kafka and camus
Which country are you from?
My high school didn't have any authors of that calibre nor did we have a reading list beyond 1 or 2 books and even those weren't read.

>far better
is that what they call it?
