Why don't men read anymore? Women still read. Most men haven't read a full book since highschool.
reading is for brainlets
Women are lying about how much they read, to the extent that they are it's largely slop, and to the extent that it isn't slop it's largely performative

I'm in my late forties and the last novel I read in its entirety was Dickens' Hard Times. That was more than fifteen years ago. Since then I've gotten a few chapters into Moby Dick during a power outage.
>>524575892>Who we are with different people is really up to us, and Sybil channels different parts of herself into the letters she writes. A journey of growing older, healing and reluctantly embracing the winds of change, this reflective and funny read is perfect for epistolary fans.>All hope seems lost for Helena, a prisoner of war grappling with a dreary world of death and dark magic — and an inexplicable case of amnesia. Epic and engrossing, Alchemised is the gritty and Gothic read we’ve all been waiting for. Looks like magic affected fiction like Harry Potter and lightweight political pulp.

>>524574735Reading, despite everything, has a negative correlation with intelligence. The most intelligent people are people with more visuospatial brain capacity rather than verbal. Reading is still necessary for most important circumstances, so the most intelligent people read, even though intelligent people usually have lesser ability in verbal intelligence.
>>524576180Moby Dick is famously tedious though. Shorter novellas like The Stranger or Old Man and the Sea have their own problems though.>>524576731>>524576057Older non-fiction is usually lacking intersectionality though. I mean, that history of China would be more interesting with demographic and climate information, maybe genetics discussion.

>>524575030>>524575033The only thing that pisses me off about this is that women are allowed to have it yet I can't have my romance books where my self-insert rescues and falls in love with a shortstack goblin girl thief.

>>524574690Women read romance slop, dumbass
No seriously thoughA huge amount of the women in my family were all talking about some book in the past year or so called The Fourth Wing. They all talked about it like it was some life changing novel, and when I looked it up, it turned out to be just be smut. Porn is literally all most women read.
Have you been into a bookstore recently? I was when I was christmas shopping. Pic related was prominently displayed. NYT best seller apparently. It's hardly one of a a kind. It's the norm. As far as fiction goes there's this shit in what speculative fiction like sci-fi has become, fantasy is girl porn yas queen slay or worse, you've got your formulaic and played our pulp mysteries and stuff like thay which can be okish and have decent characters but just aren't all that interesting or engaging, history is all revisionist "recontextualizations" about wyt ppl bad, and other social sciences and moderm art are a fucking joke. Theres more stuff being published and distributed now than ever and despite that, or perhaps because of it and gems being lost in the noise, beyond the classics and some hard non-fiction there just doesn't seem like much being published worth reading these days. Men don't read much now for the same reason that when the NSDAP reclaimed their institutions from the commies and kikes they started burning books.
>>524574690Same reason we don't go to the movies. Book publishers have been publishing every vagene and shitskin they can find, and they've been doing it a lot longer than Talmudwood. There's nothing for us to read. Mind you, getting an ereader and consooming stacks of old books is the plan for the new year.I used to love taking out a stack of old books and chain-smoking my way through them. I stopped reading fiction around 22. Just looked at my shelf full of fantasy bullshit and said, "I have learned nothing of value from any of this." So, then I started reading only non-fiction, but got tired of that after a couple years.Now, I just wish I liked reading, but I know that even published authors are mostly retarded, so why am I giving them my time?
>>524575030>>524575033uh.. who is milking whom here?
>>524582286It's not like you've read every classic published in any genre before globohomo. There's plenty of good stuff that explores interesting ideas. There's probably even good modern stuff out there, it's just hard to sift through a sea of slop.
>>524582923>There's probably even good modern stuff out there, it's just hard to sift through a sea of slop.Ironic given that you educate yourself using 4chan.

>>524583419Being based.
>>524574690Because boys don't read. And boys don't read because it has been de facto illegal to publish books for boys for going on three generations.That's why the "just read the classics" shit doesn't work. If the only thing a 10 year old can find that's worth reading are books that were published before his great great great great grandparents were born, he's just going to play vidya instead. And he will continue not reading as an adult.
some dumb twat i work with talks about all the books she “reads” (listens to) and was all excited to talk about how she was almost done with moby dick. i said i wasn’t a melville fan and she goes >he wrote more? survival is just another day
>>524583354>american attention spanAfter reading each book, I write down the key points and my thoughts about it on a double sided index cards (one double-sided card is enough for a novel, for essays it can go up to three). Then I store it in an index box for future reference.
>>524583933The reason you have to reference it is because you can't remember shit.Books aren't mean to be sped through, but inhabitated until it changes you.
>>524583933I can't read French but i feel like your writing would be annoying to read through if I could.

>>524574690I get all my knowledge from AI induced hallucinations now i dont beed to read books.
>>524583242I keep trying to write a book and yeah, every time it eventually becomes about gay sex, or a metaphor for gay sex or home lust.Just gave up writing its impossible not to make it all completely gay.
I still read, and everyone on this board needs to read pic related IMMEDIATELY it is incredibly based and /pol/-pilled as fuckSelf published because the author is too based.
>>524584268Yeah, I'm aware my hand writing isn't that pleasing to look at. That being said, these are fast notes for myself.
>>524584348This.
>>524574861This is partly true, but it's also true men are reading way too little.The actual answer is that the same modern culture which has rotted women brain in matters of dating, independence, working and marriage, has also rotted men brains in matters of values, strength, intelligence and cultivation of the self. There's also of shallow but entertaining media they immediately scratches the itch of curiosity, and even once that starts getting stale because the human soul (the white soul) needs something deeper, young men have not had the needed education and discipline instilled in them that would allow them to read, especially heavier and more complex books.
>>524576389>informative literatureSome do. It's an uncommon pursuit among the women I've known, but do not recipe books contain valuable info? Also textbooks. I know a few women who genuinely pursue knowledge in their fields, at least in the GenX camp.

>>524584592Its in France during the Black Plague, humanity is hanging on by a thread. Not only is a completely not-understood disease ravaging the population, but Satan unleashes all his low level demons on Earth to try and take advantage of man in this time when faith in God has never been lower. Shit goes from bad to worse as based as fuck Templar escorts a young girl and a priest across the country to try and get to ParisIts both grisly and beautiful, with some really naked anti-(((coin clipper))) sentiment and ultimately says that through faith we can do anything. ZERO percent chance this would have been published by a major (((publisher))) You will understand when you get like 50 pages into it
>>524574690All the books we read in school were SHIT. Based books are not allowed in our society for the same reason that based anything is not allowed.
>>524584775you sure convinced me with your hot opinions faggotron you read wikipedia summaries of books. it’s a dark medival fantasy horror novel set during the black plague in France, and it’s good. you have conan, you’ll enjoy it when you stop being a contrarian nigger.

>>524585074Bro you haven't read at least 3/4 what are you talking about lol.They're pristine like a decoration.
>>524585188But I'm sure you don't mind seeing as all you recommend is some gay fanfic of mediaeval France?
>>524584942Fair enough, I'll add it to my reading list for this year.
You're reading this post right now. The way in which people read has just changed, and your brain adapts to the environment that it is used to processing information, which now leans heavily on fast results from online searches or AI.My ability to read after working in a white collar job for years has gone up dramatically. In the last 2 weeks I've read about 500-600 pages of technical material related to software, whereas the same amount would have taken me much longer before my job.
book industry got extremely pozzed long before anyone ever began to notice how pozzed TV, movies and games were. The entire book industry has been extremely censorious, fucked up and gay for probably over 20-30 years now.Even in saying that, were you to read canon and history you are still dealing with the post-WW2 foundational myth structure where literally everything is falsified. Even in the 50-60's much of western account is fake retardation to constantly try to wave their dicks at the Soviets and saving face. So what do you even read? Probably not books, publish industries have been comped for generations.
>>524585053Based french anon, those are some beautiful bindings. Shame I can't read most of yours either, the 4chan compression is brutal.Lately I've actually been loving 18th to 20th century french literature, from Stendhal, Chateaubriand and De Maistre througu Flaubert all the way to Bernanos and Bataille. Might unironically be one of the most prolific and continued peaks of output out of any place, Rome and Greece included. Also hopefully this is readable.

>>524585271Try and point out to me the 1/4 that you think I did read cause it looks less pristine and you'll see you can't.In fact of the few who do look consumed, who are just 4-5, I haven't read 3 and they look consumed cause they got wet with rainwater.Jung's book which is the only one that is really weathered from use I haven't read in full either, but only started a few years ago.In the upper row from this picture, three of the biggest books I read entirely in the wood and they look as new as any other.You don't need to ruin books to read them, anon.

>>524586012The whole thing you bloated faggot.Look how pristine those are lol.Just donate them hopefully someone reads it then.
>>524574690All modern literature is a burning trashheap of Jewish filth. Much of the old literature is irrelevant, especially the babble of 18th-19th century philosophers. Tolkien just makes me depressed knowing our societies are collapsing.The good authors are usually extremely difficult to find amidst the rivers and rivers of diarrhea. I've been reading Journey to the End of the Night by Celine. Now THAT is a good book. The author is condemned as a Nazi pig.

>>524585053folio editions are always the most good looking on a bookshelf. They look so classic and so contemporary at the same time.
>>524576057>>524575826Nonsense. This thread is full of abysmal cope replies. Your attention span is just fried from online ez dopamine and you know it.If you had any integrity you'd mention the actual problem (which is unrelated to your addictions): The abysmal quality of literature today.Yeah, fiction has gone to shit when Harry Potter is considered the highest caliber of book reading now. But that's not even sloppa-tier compared to what we had in the past. Educate yourselves you cretinous swine.
>>524586155>USA Today Bestselling Author>NOBODY HAS READ
>>524586012don't tell me you have read Hypnerotomachia Poliphili cover to cover
>>524586005Joseph, I read The Confessions of Saint Petersburg. I don't know much about Xavier, is he a good read as well?>PirandelloHe's amazing, which book of his did you read? If you haven't, I suggest One, No one and One Hundred Thousand. I truly think that's his masterpiece.>Other Italian writersDepends on what you're looking for, excluding the big names we have quite a few 'hidden' gems. If you want a short but striking story about solitude and meaning, I suggest Moresco's La Lucina. I heard he actually found some success in France, so you can definitely find the translation.If you like darker existentialist themes, imagine Pirandello without the irony and lightness, Buzzati Is also really good. His best work is Il Deserto dei Tartari, some parts of it still haunt me.If you like historical fiction and beautiful, poetic prose, then definitely The Leopard, about the Unification of Italy from the viewpoint of a decadent Sicilian noble family.Also you might know him already, but we have a sort of Italian Zola, he wrote a slightly lighter and less bleak naturalism, but still focused on the real lives experiences of common people, his name is Verga. If you like poetry poetry inspired by Greek mythology, I'd say Adonis from Marino (though it's a heavy book and from the baroque period) and for something unique any book by Bufalino (not sure you can find him translated though).If you have some other genre/theme in mind tell me though, I'll see if I can think of any other author.
>>524586302One thing I'm envious about the anglo world is that their ordinary editions are often hard covers. Here you usually have to chose between the cheap soft cover which will deform over time if not stored perfectly, and expensive leather bound hard covers.
>>524586084Again, you are a retard who ruins books and thinks all people have blubby mutt hands and can't take care of them.>>524586014Nope, sadly still haven't read that.
>>524586005Gadda and Arbasino are the only worth to be read. Read them in the original language, no probs for you as a french.
>>524586136Yes, I promised her I would read it.... I regret it too, anon, I could not go past the first three pages.

>>524585654>read 100 books/year from 15 to 35yoPeople who flex about how much books they read are no better than nigger apes.>reading a book every 3 daysMeans you didn't actually read it. You sped through it to jerk off your ego about how fast and smurt you are for reading it. Fags like you can never explain key plot points because you glossed over the entire thing.
>>524586772Anon, believe what you want, I can't convince you over the internet.I know I've read most of them, you think I didn't, there isn't a meeting point beyond that.
>>524574690>Women still readthey sure do lol
>>524587063Proof?
>>524574690They read smut. LOTS of smut. So they're all coomers.

>>524586627>The Confessions of Saint PetersburgSupremely based, anon.>XavierHonestly, no. He was famous for a time when he wrote a parody of travels when he was locked up for a month as a soldier (he had a fight with an officer or something). Then people tried to imitate his writing, and he tried to write more of the same years later, but to little success.>which book of his did you read?Part of his Novelle per un anno short stories collection.>One, No one and One Hundred ThousandI've read around six years ago; I must confess I didn't enjoy it too much, the whole identity crisis felt too artificial to me.>Moresco's La Lucina>Buzzati>Moresco's La LucinaAll noted down! I've only read uh, The staircase's dream by Buzzati when I was a teenager. I have zero memories from that.>The LeopardI didn't enjoy it, but most people agree that it's a masterpiece so I must be in the wrong here.>VergaI've only heard about it. Naturalism was never my think due to being forced to read Zola in school, but it's worth trying.>If you have some other genre/theme in mind tell me though, I'll see if I can think of any other authorYou've already provided me with a great start. Thanks, anon!>>524586711>Gadda and ArbasinoNever heard of them, but why not! Those two are noted down, thanks.
>>524585848>Books are an obsolete mediumMore cope replies.If you treat books like an encyclopedia -- yes. But that only occurs if you're an NPC with no soul and inner dialogue. Which I would expect from a leaf.Good quality books are supposed to put you into a world that you can get lost in. You take details from that world as the author describes and build it into your own image. You thus inhabit it. And become apart of it.That's what every child does when they read Percy Jackson, or Harry Potter. They create a new world in their mind. This bolsters creativity, empathy, spirituality, and a host of other things that can't be properly communicated.But again -- an NPC couldn't recognize this. To you, words are just a medium for getting information. You may as well learn binary because you're little better than an AI.

>>524586001>Larping faggots.No doubt.>>524586012You can tell this faggot doesn't actually read this shit by how uniform his collection looks and how eagerly he posts it on /pol/.Most of my collection is strewn about in boxes, often damaged, second-hand, and focuses on a wide range of topics. All of different sizes and shapes. And even more *gasp* most of it is in kindle and audiobook form. Because it's very convenient.Whenever I see someone with uniformish encyclopedia-style libraries, I instantly recognize a LARPer.
>>524587542That's pretty funny
>>524586707>you are a retard who ruins books and thinks all people have blubby mutt hands and can't take care of themYeah that's me for sure. The one in white printer paper covered with packing tape is volume 1 of the Gibbon
>>524587367>Parody of travelsKek, that does sound a little fun though.>Identity crisis felt too artificialYeah, agreed on that, I would even say it's partly true for his other boy novel too, Mattia Pascal. I can understand people people not liking it, but for me I still enjoyed it a lot cause I felt the focus was not so much on the plot itself, but on the philosophical point it attempted to present.In a way the whole thing being affected was part of the greater pantomime of existence, and to break out of it Gengé didn't need any deep crisis, just a little plot point. Again I get not liking it, it's not a deeply felt or truly tragic moment that changes things, it's more so one of the tassels showing life to be a silly comedy in Pirandello's eyes.>Staircase's DreamDidn't know that one actually, I think it might be the Droplet for the Italian name? Sound really interesting though, thanks for that discovery lol>LeopardIn the end it's tastes. I loved it because I love dense, poetic prose, but for the same reason I know baroque is almost unanimously disliked, while I love it. Also makes sense about Verga, for the same reason I still haven't brought myself to read Goldoni or Tasso, even though I think I'd enjoy them. They were such a slough in school. Though you should give Zola himself another chance if you can, I read Nana and despite how fucking bleak it was I did find it interesting as a story.
>>524588588At least you're reading interesting works. I've found Gibbon to be surprisingly pleasing to read, even in english.>>524588779>I think it might be the Droplet for the Italian name? I looked it up and it turns out it's the editors being retarded: it's an abridged version of Le notti difficili (around half of the novels were skipped).

>>524575030>>524575033I prefer this edition.
>>524589405>Summa Theologica, Edda and GilgameshDangerously based.Do you have any suggestions on some compendium or encyclopedia of Greek mythology? I've been wanting to delve deeper into that for a while. I read a lot of the first sources like Hesiod, the Argonautica and the tragedies, but I was hoping to read an exhaustive book that included everything about both the Gods, how they changed, the cycles and also about minor spirits like nymphs, satyrs etc
>>524585388Its been that way for over 80 years actually. Look at how hard a time Ford had getting his book published. They took over publishing even before they took over Hollywood. Its just today its somewhat possible but a pain in the ass to bypass the sea of slop thanks to self publishing but still a real pain because obviously they're gonna get suppressed to hell and back for not toeing the line, censoring, and lack of propaganda.
>>524576389Ah yes, me reading alone in my room in my bed performing for... who exactly?
>>524590005I have a dozen of conpemdiums on mythology, most being from single writers from the 19th century with widly varying degrees of accuracy or even relevance. Some authors were really writing gibberish.The most useful one, which I would recommend to you, is the Howatson's Dictionnary of Antiquity, which is maybe also translated in italian. It's most useful and down to earth.The Oxford Dictionary of Late Antiquity should also prove useful, but I haven't used it yet.

>>524591137coal-black nigger says what
what are you talking about, we read all the fucking time (in audiobook form)the most mandatory book i think all anons need to read is Andrew Carrington Hitchcock's Synagogue of Satan. dont be fooled by the name, its just a historical timeline with all the jewish involvement that was scrubbed out of history/the historical record reinserted. once you read this book, you can begin to see the jews are united in a war against the entire earth, as they go country by country destabilizing, conquering, looting, enslaving, and eventually mutting up the population, only to evacuate when the resources have been squandered or otherwise deprived from their people.once you read this book you will atleast have some grasp of advanced JQ, which will allow you, should you choose to follow it, will naturally lead into CQ, and the wider NPC theoryi cannot emphasize how important it is to have some grasp of these events, many of them which you probably know, if you ever want to know why the world is the way it ishttps://www.bitchute.com/video/3zfi5q0tXGqe/
>>524574690I read the Kybalion when 4chan was down.What do those women read? Jane Austen?
>>524574861So much cope..this is why women rule society now. Cucks like you who default to random made up accusations whenever you're released. How did modern men become such pathetic cucks?
>>524592349It's almost as though they've never had a girlfriend.I don't know what the fuck I'm reading. Maybe it's banter.
>>524592079i think its most important for christians to read this book. because its going to force you to see historical events transpiring through an entirely different lens, the christian author only managed to get to the 3 jewish popes in a single century before the cognitive dissonance kicked in and he had to abandon the project. BUT IT KEEPS GOING. so his work is unfinished, and if you keep following that same thread, youll inevitably either be lead back to christian-jewish cooperation, or the cognitive dissonance will be too much and you will be forced to abandon the pursuit altogether. the important thing is that it forces you to have to choose to either pursue the truth or returning to believing the comfortable lies. and there are very few ways of hitting that threshold (for most normies) short of violence or trauma, which is why i think the book is so significant. its like using the fire stone in pokemon to forcibly evolve your vulpix. its happening, and youre forced to choose to whether to stop it or not. thats what this book does for the normie. you have to want to want to remain ignorant. what europa the last battle did for documentaries, andrew carrington hitchcock did for literature.

>>524591100>that massive ass Agincourt tomeJesus Christ how long does a book about a single battle where some dudes got stuck in the mud and massacred have to be?
>>524585600if you don’t care about a physical copy it’s readily available online and worth the read regardless
>>524592349Seething
>>524592836I think it's just the paper and formatting. Most of the little paperbacks to the right have more pages & more words
>>524592884Thanks. Luckily, turns out there's a new edition coming up in march (according to Amazon) for something like 15€.
>>524592836i never understood it either, why britbongs are so overlyobsessed with agincourt and beating the french in a single battle. i think the innovation of using the english longbow in that battle was the only real thing that made that battle notable in any way.
>>524575033>Plot Summary (Mild Spoilers)Violet is a mid-20s millennial struggling with massive student debt, underemployment, and the looming threat of moving back home. Desperate for stable income, she takes a well-paying job at Morning Glory Milking Farm in the diverse community of Cambric Creek, where humans and various fantasy creatures coexist.The farm collects semen from minotaurs for pharmaceutical use (e.g., implied to power human ED medications). Violet works as a "milking technician," performing hands-on collections from the bull-headed, well-endowed clients.She quickly develops feelings for one regular client: a stern, deep-voiced minotaur named Rourke, who begins requesting her specifically. >What starts as professional (and increasingly awkward for Violet) evolves into mutual attraction, leading to a heartfelt romance amid the absurd premise.

I tried very hard to read through the western canon but i got filtered by the classics and filtered by the renaissance and I found the plays to be extremely tedious to read through. I ended up settling for catholic biographies and italian political theorists recommended by /pol/. The western canon is just too difficult to enjoy for the average person I think.After you delve into more informative and provocative nonfic of old, it becomes impossible to tolerate nu-age books. I legitimately can't finish modern slop anymore in any form, physical, audiobook, tv series, etc. The most modern books i've read are Righteous Minds by Jonathan Haidt (recc) and Total state by Auron Macintyre, but that one is just recapping a bunch of stuff thats already on a /pol/ reading list. Speaking further on /pol/ reading list I finally finished every single Pat Buchanan book this year and they were all interesting and probably worth it for /lit/lets. I'd skip whitehouse wars though.Audible and youtube are just better mediums for history books and historical fiction. I don't blame anyone that hasnt picked up a history book in years and just watches youtube or documentaries instead.
>>524587367>Gadda and Arbasinothey are the equivalent of Céline, sort of. Only less based because both were closeted homos (not promoters of sodomy in any way tho). Overall they were conservative and traditionalist. Arbasino was the first one to denounce Pasolini as a pedophile and in his pamphlets of the 1990s and early 2000s he went down really hard on immigration, a thing that was not easy to do back in the days.
>>524576057Can you read that lol?
>>524593755>sometimes a yt video showing something visually is worth 10,000 wordstrue. it took me years to read all of the books of David Irving. Now one can watch the videos of zoomer historian and get all the informations that matter about ww2 in a week or so.
>>524597545I should also say internet articles now are hours worth of information now and you consume them in the same way you consume books. https://www.unz.com/article/how-fake-is-roman-antiquity/I don't endorse first millenia revisionism, but this is a series of 5 articles I read on a long flight that compiled a lot of information that no publisher or editor would even consider letting through. I can respect this self-published and highly researched stuff even if I disagree with his thesis of the first millenia only being 300ish years of recorded history and stretched with repeat events.The alt-right for all it's faults had a great tradition of writing these long researched blog/article posts that encouraged reading and challenging assumptions and letting your ideas face the crucible. I think that culture attracted a lot of interesting, intelligent writers that just don't exist anymore. The right being on every social media platform and having places like rumble to host video content has sort of killed the tradition of being voracious essayists. Is there a single person that actually enjoys the gay edrama and right winger grifter infighting we have now compared to the based edrama and right winger grifter infighting we had just a decade ago? I really hope one day that social media returns to being dogshit so the tradition of essayists can return to the right, it's much better than books.
I alternate between scientific essays (particularly about paleoanthropology) and novels. I’m often reading two books at a time, I take the light one like a police novel if I’m tired, and one a bit more complex and scientific when I have enough mental energy to dedicate to it. Reading only essays in unbearably, reading can also be entertaining and a distraction
You're reading right now.
>>524598305OH SHIT
>>524598204>I don't endorse first millenia revisionismGood job in not endorsing it. It's at the level of flat earth conspiracy or worse. Fomenko was caught falsifying data so only clowns can touch his trash. As for Bracciolini&co, I have read that article too but as long as philologists present Tacitus as "Tacitus" and not as "The Pseudo-Tacitus" I trust the fact that it is legitimate ancient literature. One can have doubts about certain particular things like the Satyricon tho.
