>>527929745Imagine being a middle aged man and getting pressured by social media for high schoolers.
>>527929745Do you have a vendetta against people who read books? Lol I swear I’ve seen this topic made into at least 2 prior threads>t haven’t even read a paperback book in years eitherI don’t hate people who do though
He is israeli

>>527929745people should read more, but in the sense of consuming any other media: nothing after the kikes dropped the towers
I read Dune 4 or 5 years ago and I have never read another book since. I don't need to. Once you know you've read the greatest book ever written, then you can stop.
>that>a manDangerously low levels of test. He's basically a woman with a penis.
>I recognize the book from that corner of the back coverIt's over for me, lmao>>527929939Bro it's just automated spambots. Any thread that gets replies gets reposted infinitely. Another new fad is complaining about one's parents and upbringing (anons like to trauma-dump).
>>527929745You sound like an idiot. There is a lot of knowledge a man should know to make his life better. There are technical manuals for the hardcore, and "how to" books for beginners. Agreed, if some faggot is reading about vampires, he's a lost cause. But self improvement is what men do.tl:dr learn stuff
>>527930238You’re right about the parent threadsI’ve been seeing a bunch of those too
books and reading are hella gay and stupid. Literally no point in reading unless you have to for school or work.
>>527930209> not reading buglakov> not reading toqueville> not readnig gogol> ngmi

>>527929745Reading is fine. Educated males have read for centuries. You just need to make sure you're reading good non-fiction and not the pseudo-pornographic slop that women read

What if I told you that you're reading...RIGHT NOW!?
>>527930522>learning is sufferingI bet your friends call you paragraph, because you're too stupid to be an eseEnjoy flipping burgers.
>>527929745
Top G says reading is for morons.
>>527930948you're a mutt nigger in your cattle cage goy, i am whiter than you and live here sin taxes while you larp online like the closet faggot you are.
>>527931221That's not intelligence, that's being an ADD nigger with a constant need for stimulus input. You don't learn shit from driving fast cars or fucking women. If you did Tyrone wouldn't be a retarded nigger, but he is, just like bottom g-spot over here
>>527929745>yes goyim, don't educate yourself... reading is for nerds. Thinking is for ugly people. Looksmaxx instead!!
>>527929745>BookTokI have cancer.

>>527931643Based leaf. On the day of the rake you shall be spared
Yes
>>527929745Not this shit again. I refuse to believe there is people out there that don't read books, at least from time to time.
>>527931835I guess 14th century poetry is too difficult for leftist trannies, eh?
>>527930246>self improvement is what men doI can’t be the only one who is sick of this type of mentality. Men do whatever men want to do. If a guy wants to read a vampire book, who the fuck cares? This modern mindset that you had to constantly be grinding and constantly have to be “productive” is bullshit. You should still earn, but also value and enjoy your leisure time. Leisure is important.
>>527929939I like my paperbacks like I like my women:Young Adult.Shazam!
>>527930238>trauma-dumpTherapy speak is so fucking gay.
>>527930699Yeah.In fact /pol/ would be far better if far more people read actual, paper/hardcopy books.
>>527931943>I refuse to believe there is people out there that don't read books, at least from time to time.How about Trump?
>>527929745>Fellas is reading gayNow that you know most online opinion is astroturfed, why do you still do this?
>>527929745As I’ve grown older, I have noticed the primary intersections of masculinity and fun are humor and danger.Humorless, risk averse men are forced to behave in a feminine manner to seem fun, explaining this phenomenon on social media.Go ahead, try to tell me how I’m wrong.
>>527932012Anything beyond a graphic novel (aka comic book) is too difficult for leftist trannies>>527931943I don't know the statistics for Bongland, but over on this side of the pond over 50% of people have never read a single book since graduating high school. Not one>>527932089Like this jeetnigger
>>527932210Trump is in the historical top 5 US presidents with the most published books. Nice try though leftist retard.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibliography_of_Donald_Trump
>>527930209Funny. Same for me. Didn't ever realize a movie was coming out, just saw it and bought it.
>>527930246>I can't learn anything from literatureAutistics aren't even people, just machines for shredding welfare budgets and pushing actual disabled people out of care lol
>>527929745The last book I read was the Turner Diaries
>>527930238It feeds into generational D&C. Since certain forces have failed at capturing sites like this to turn it into another plebbit, instigating infighting and promoting mindless crap is meant to reduce the cultural impact of the site.
>>527932370Probably the first man in history to publish more books than he's read.
>>527929745I like chinese cultivation novels. Story for many months.
performance art specialists, they think that reading is something that the commoners dont do. maybe they think it will attract a retard mate for them. reminds me of the retards you some times see at a bar reading a book. a rarer form of pick me.
>>527929745How can you call yourself a man of the West if you haven't read Homer, Virgil Hesiod, Ovid, Sophocles/Euripides/Aeschylus, Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, Plotinus, Tacitus, Cicero, Livy, Arrian, Plutarch, Statius, Lucan, Augustus, Cesar, Napoleon, Nietzsche, and Hitler?

HOW TO LIVE WITH A SMALL PEEPEE, by Dr. Helena, 316 pages
>>527929827Faggot.I'll tell you why your entire lineage is cucked and why you should kill yourself based off of completely objective historical facts that I could only derive from literary absorption.And you would be awestruck and gladly kill yourself. I am a god.
Like most forms of media there's a fraction that is made purely for consumption/entertainment. The valuable kernel (in this case, literature) strikes a range of sublime modes, engages with the ineffable, has a strong potential for affectivity, diversifies meaning/value, etc. It becomes something entirely different to simply engaging with a story. It makes me sad that it is dismissed so easily and wrecklessly but this is the nature of art: it is fragile because it isn't the sum of it's parts. Anyone can strip it of it's power and expose it to death. Paradoxically, this is where it's sublimity and power comes from: mortality.

>>527931221There's more value in Tolkien's works than the entirety of African history. I guarantee whatever he's saying in that webm, he's saying it in English because his people are far too useless to make a quality language.
>>527930398Surely if you read anything by them you wouldn't misspell literally all of their surnames, you retarded faggot
>>527929745There is no reason for grown men to read YA and fantasy romance. There’s a whole world of other books out there.
>>527931221>That mush-mouthed way he speaks.>The constant attempts to look angry and threatening.He is as fake as fuck.
>>527929745>booktokIt's a weird rapist forcing his way into women spaces under the guise of being an ally.Peak male feminist.

>>527929745the publishing industry doesn't make books for guys anymore but does churn out tons of hardcore porn with dragons in it
>>527929745Reading is just another facet of consumption culture.
Books are tokens for queers without their own ideas
