>Struggle to get into real books>Read Slaughterhouse Five, really enjoy it>Struggle some more afterwards>Read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, really enjoy it>Find out later these are both considered the most Leddit pieces of literature ever written I kind of suspected the latter while I was reading, but Vonnegut took me by surprise. Wtf do I do? How do I purge the Redditor from my brain?
>>24716826Reddit is like feces, feces will not harm you if you are just seeing it on the ground or in the toilet and not touching it or eating it, and also feces can even be very useful like for fertilizing crops. Sometimes we get a little feces on our finger too when wiping our ass, and we just don't tell anyone. You will be okay. Just don't start sucking on your finger until you wash it.
>>24716826Just read what you enjoy. I got back into reading through vonnegut and now my bookshelf is way more diverse (DEI) and I read constantly. I recommend Cat's Cradle, great vonnegut book if you liked Slaughterhouse.
>>24716826We all start somewhere.
>>24716826they are just entry levelthere is nothing wrong with enjoying then if you are newkeep up the good work
They are good books, anon. Keep reading and don't worry too much about whether anonymous strangers on a tibetan basket weaving bulletin board are calling you names.
>>24716828Thats not just reddit, its idealogy in general.
>>24716826If you catch yourself open mouthed smiling for pictures, craving updoots from kind internet strangers, or contemplating asking your black coworker to fuck your wife, then kill yourself before you lose the shame necessary to carry out the act.Otherwise, continue reading what you like.
>>24716826Keep reading what you enjoy but instead of the entire time each day/whenever dedicated to those books se aside some time for something "difficult" that you still find interesting
>>24716826The only real cardinal sin is to stop being curious of things outside your comfort zone, as long as you don't end up being dismissive of things you that might not be to your taste right away you'll eventually find your own taste. At first you're probably just going to be reading the same entry level stuff everyone does, of course, it's hard to find things suited to your taste by yourself when you haven't even fully formed your taste to begin with. Some of those things might end up being your favorites for a long time and shape what you read from there, the only people who are truly "reddit" are those that remain blindly attached to things that got reccomended to them and stop trying out new things for themselves.
