>>214918979>Where did the meme about Kazakhstan vs Women come from
>>214915725You just know.
>>214918741*contemporary fictionAnd when they do want to shill out the money for a book, it's either completely out of print and only available on eBay, or they want a nice hardcover for the shelf, but every single one is flashy and gay and retarded and too expensive and on top of that is low quality in construction.
>>214918979>Where did the meme about Kazakhstan vs Women come fromLurkmoar dumbass newfag
>>214918897I read the first book ages ago, can't recall much but except that that shit was proto dune / warhammer.

It's never about how often or how much you read- it's about WHAT you read.I know several people that read a shit ton of books but they have really naive and stupid opinions.The only real benefit of high-volume reading is above-average grammar, and great ability to write out your thoughts on paper and/or verbally. These things you genuinely learn only from reading often and a lot.gif related
>>214915725looks like werner herzog
>>214918814Why don't you show the UK? I saw someone carrying a book once, does that count?
>>214915725I read 4chan daily.
I only read chuddy historical essays to keep the memory alive
>>214915725 sorry i'm confusedwhy do women say they want a good man while masturbating to the idea of being degraded by an evil vampireit just doesn't make sense
>>214918979>Sauce please?TheBookLeo
I have a female coworker who reads several books a month yet she is the most naive and stupid person I know
allah
>>214918814>academic booksAlmost no academics will read a book entirely, unless they are exceptionally interested in the work of a particular author.
>>214915725reading is for faggotsthe only letters I need are U, S and A
I respect women reading contemporary slop more than men who read self-help books and biographies
>>214920957simp
>>214920957>men who read self-help books and biographiesAnd you seem to be into reading fantasies
>>214920957>I respect women
>>214920671Thank you Britanon :)>>214920656One is the thing they actually want (hyperdominant aggressive gigachad alphas who are antisocial and wreck everything around they because they dgaf about the rules) and the other is the socially acceptable thing to say (good caring boring betabuxx oofy doofy provider). Plus gaslighting people by saying they want the latter helps them play the victim and act like they're constantly in danger of being exploited by those evil (and smoking hot) alpha chad- i mean horrible men! Helps them steal more concessions and "rights" to more gibs by the gooberment. Did i mention it also weeds out all the losers because it gets them to show themselves for the oofy doofies they are which makes finding alphas easier? Win-win-win.
>>214915725BookTokers are insane.
>>214921210I read literature, mostly 19th century literature, early 20th century literature and medieval literatureI feel no shame in loving literature, the greatest form of art
>>214921368This nigga probably reads Maupassant. This the type of nigga to read Chaucer's tales and shit. This nigga a nerd reading and being all erudite and learned and shit
>>214921632It's funny that you mention Maupassant because I'm currently attempting to read most of Maupassant's major works in FrenchI just started reading Mont-Oriol the other day but I never see anyone discussing this novel so it might not be very good
>>214921771I recognized your posting style from /lang/ and i know you've read 800~ pages of Maupassant by now iirc. Weird writer desu i feel like English literature is better just because it's an infinitely more efficient language than Fr*nch so any work in English is bound to be superior to Fr*nch literature. Maupassant deadass thought that a woman (Boule de Suif) could hide multiple chickens as well as a bunch of bowls and cutlery in her skirts without anyone noticing or even any smell coming out. Fr*nch writers are some goofy ass niggas
