literature is for women tho, we are just meant to work and kill each other in war. why do you think philosophy doesnt have an end point, its always been and always will be mental gymnastics bc were bored and dont have anything important to do. if you read you might as well be honest with yourself, that's female behavior

No. Read Don Quixote. Novel was already considered trash back then.
