>>527994366I have been a "male reader" of erotica for my entire adult life. Porn just doesn't do it for me the same way reading it does.
>>527994366Are you saying there's a market for YouTube vids telling ding dong dummies what to read? Hmmmm
>>527994366no female erotica is the queen of all book sales
>>527994366>Dune>"trash"I'd slit that plebs throat. What a contrarian faggot.
>>527994713In comparison to the Court series?
>>527994713You fell for the rage bait thumbnail. Maybe there is a market....hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
>>527994366
>>527994366Already are. Women only read when its gooner shit.
>>527994366Absofuckinglutely not.The entire publishing industry is geared entirely toward the young female demographic. That's where the big money is. Fortunately, there have already been more great books written than you can read in your lifetime.
No. Moids stopped reading and learning over the past decade since that's woke
I think plenty of men read. They just don't make it the center of their personality. If you just at social media, you'd probably get the impression that its only women that read because they're more vocal and upfront about their reading habits. Guys don't make tik tok show-and-tell videos about their latest barnes and noble purchase.
>>527994914I know right? That's the point, just contrarian rage-bait.
Let's seeTotal amount of good books released in the last 20 years with any male appeal... 0Nah I don't think so
>>527996055Ehhh chuck palaniuk was releasing bangers about 20 years ago
>>527996055>>527996345>Bank! Is a good little novel that was published recently and lead to a lot of finance bro memes throughout the years. It also describes how boomers hire hot girls and end up fucking the office chads instead of anyone else and boomers get all pissy.
I'm a reader but my thing is I like reading older stuff. Been blowing through the classics lately, like one day I'll read more modern stuff finally but I just felt authors from the past were unappreciated and I read their entire works when I like 'em.
>>527994366I don't read shit that came out after the turn of the millennium
>>527995262Good grief
>>527996625Grapes of Wrath is pretty fire.
>>527995262the soi... it's... too much...
>>527994713It's literally just a mashup of the Bible (jewish sandnigger tales) and the Journey to the West. It's pulp slop.
>>527996625Dont forget a lot of them were over rated as well. Faulkner pretty shitty, minus his short stories. But the critics pushed his shit out like crazy.
>>527996673This is like the Eagles of literature, and that isn't a compliment
>>527994366If you aren't programming your mind someone else is
>>527994366>Reading adventure novelsMight as well just not read, at least you would have more free time.t. philosophy enjoyer
Real men don't read
>>527996850Where does the bible have giant sandworms? Exodus? John?
>>527996673this but anything written by anyone born after the turn of the century
>>527994455Women need to write more books like this.
>>527997067That's from Jorueny to the West. Not specifically, but the wacky monster for children part.
>>527994713He probably read "race consciousness" and thought it was some kind of white nationalist thing. Dune is too cerebral for clickbaiting retards who read fantasy adventure novels. He'd probably blow a gasket reading wheel of time or lord of the rings too (not enough niggers)
>>527996971that soup looks good anon, do you have the recipe?
>>527994366what's up with these constant fucking le male readers threads?what are you niggers trying to hide
>>527995262Imagine the wives of what you see in that photo
>>527994366Why are you spamming this so much?
Read a book, dummies
>>527994366>138 KB>Will "male readers" become the major reading demographic this decade? lmao no, unless you count graphic novels as part of the acceptable criteria.
>>527994455Same here, I admittedly use ai to write my ideas though, my specific fetish is written about but the stories usually suck
>>527997739>aiso you're not writing anything then
>>527994366If you like that, check out “fate/grand harem: fairy queen milk bath”
I think it's goofy too how /pol/ will shit on Dune when in Messiah Paul said/implied he was the literal reincarnation of Adolf Hitler.
>>527994366I've never even heard of either of these.Much like the other great historical thinkers of the past, the works I engage with are too confusing and difficult for the useless eater plebeians. They are extremely rare and expensive, produced in in obscure parts of the world, highly sought after by intellectuals, and written in incomprehensible language that requires years of analysis and efforts to interpret.Midwit sheep are just not capable of processing true transcendent intellectual literature and are doomed to follow whatever redundant garbage they are told is popular.For instance I recently read a novel about training your elf maid slave wife.
>>527994713Pretty sure that guy likes Dune. He's praised it before. I think it's just a clickbait pic. Gotta get those views up.
Throne of Glass and Crescent City are better than Acotar. Dune is better than all of them.T. Faggot
>>527998714Give us a real reading list.
>>527997021real men have chins. that nigger literally has a circle for a skull

>>527994366I havent picked up a book or audiobook in over a yearhistory philosophy nothing applies anymore, not to the hyperspecific feelings im experiencing nor the world around me. You could say there is a strang, a pattern but thats like zooming out and watching the galaxy while being interested in the life of an ant. Books have wasted my time, only bibeogames are worth my time now
>>527997213But Wheel of Time is full of niggers?? I couldn't even finish the first season.
>>527994366Someone should write a series about race war from a white perspective. That would bring in male readers.
>>527996906KEK
>>527994366Fuck no! I have a goodreads account and 80% of my “friends” on there are women. There is this one girl who reads 500+ books a year. It’s drivel too which I can’t hate on since I read mostly true crime.
>>528000360Oh, look, nothing written in its native language.
>>527994455Honestly reading a hot story makes me hornier than porn
>>527994366I only read philosophy from the Greeks to John Stuart Mill. I also read stuff like Dion Fortune and I have about 40 to 50 books on Hitler including a copy of Mein Kampf.

“Reading” in the 21st century? Give me a brake. Until magnetic mind imprinting is perfected (on poos, start small) then *audiobooks* are the way to go. >Top TipForget Google don’t bother they just push audible and other internet ruining corporate horrors. You can still find most if what you want to listen too for free though by using other search engines that aren’t as heavily enshittefied. I’ve got the second Fabious Bile book, Clonelord, on pause. I listen to audiobooks every day because i do not use msm or big tech. I don’t use audible or pay anything. Pic: random chop suey choice. Featuring extra pet extra dericious. Do white people not spice their rat?

>>527995262Holly moley, is this something sort of neo nazi hangout? Like seriously, why dont i see any people of color.
>>527994366Reading fiction is almost certainly going to end up being a waste of time. Not that there aren't transformative ideas in a few books but they make up probably less than 1 percent at this point.
I read a lot. And if I see a female author I just don't buy it.
>>528003108Fiction is realer than non-fiction.
>>527997130White woman need to be put down already
>>527994366No, women overall still consistently read more/report reading more according to most studies in the West broadly.The difference is that more of it is “fluffier”/lighter stuff, like genre-fic schlock, airport thrillers, also smut/erotica, and then on the other hand pop-nonfiction about trendy subjects. By pop-nonfiction I mean nonfiction which isn’t some dense ballcrusher like Edward Gibbon’s “Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire” or Hegel’s “Phenomenology of Spirit” (philosophy is classified as nonfiction), but popular, more simplified books meant for a mass audience, like Malcolm Gladwell (broadly writes pop-science, pop-philosophy, pop-history books on various subjects), Yuval Noah Harari and his popular science/history/anthropology/futurology works (like “Sapiens”), that book “The Body Keeps the Score” by some doctor about trauma that gets brought up and recommended so much by women and Reddit-types today lel, and etc.So, more of them read more of such books per year, but it’s more fluff.Less men are reading, but there’s a smaller yet significant minority who do and are generally far more big-brained/autismo in their tastes, pushing themselves to read more difficult, complex, longer works, the classics and literary fiction. Higher quality stuff.But then there’s still also a notable faction of men, bigger than the one I’m talking about, reading stuff like described for the bulk of women in my first paragraph, but still even then it’s less of them than women.
>>527994366Maybe As I'm getting older I find myself less attracted to video games and I find myself wanting to desperately read something good or write something good myself
>>528003464>Less men are reading, but there’s a smaller yet significant minority who do and are generally far more big-brained/autismo in their tastes, pushing themselves to read more difficult, complex, longer works, the classics and literary fiction. Higher quality stuff.This, and I'm also working out more. Trying to get /fitlit/pilled. Take the brains and the brawn, and put 'em together.
Reading fiction that isn't political philosophy/hypothetical time lines is a absolute waste of time. Fiction is general is gay and there is very few good writers still writing. If you enjoy European theme fantasy then LOTR and some other books get a pass but I don't think anything decent has been written in the last 20 years desu. Harry Potter slopified fantasy.
>>528003108>Reading fiction is almost certainly going to end up being a waste of timeThis doesnt track.Would you say the same for movies, video games, artworks? Why is it just true for fiction books? Is it because you think reading is hard?
>>527994789The court series is straight up porn, with a few fights thrown in.
>>528004546and the Mary Suest Mary Sue's ever known
>>527994789a book written by a woman? trashin fact I won't read anything written by a woman or jewand that's all that book publishers allow these days, so I don't read, and I won't readhistory is far better and ancient stories are even more appealing than anything in the last few lifetimes
>>527994455>reading eroticaPathetic, have you tried writing it.But then again I guess I'll eventually need someone to read this crap (or even buy it, far fetched as that is lmao imagine paying for porn).
>>528005212I have tried writing it. I was given compliments on my writing, but I also had a captive audience. I always was too afraid of failure to actually write and publish
>>527996850na, you are just talking shit and probably didn't even read dune. if you want to call it a mash up its a rewrite of Lawrence of Arabia inspired by Isaac Asimov books. atleast the first book is after that is devolves into self inserting himself as God emperor and shoehorning all his philosophical ideals into a super intelligent God character.
>>527995262Not that I'd ever join such a brainlet club, but it's an amusing thought to entertain.How many of my recent reads do I have to tell them about before being banished forever?Although they might actually like Dildohands.Life is good as an eccentric neurodivergent.
>>527994366Reading is for fags
>>528005354Oh? Good. Stop being afraid then and go back to writing.It's not like you're in a rush. Can take all the time you need. Doubt you'd try to write a book with the specific goal of selling massive amounts of it - which is where the sales are a valid concern, but the literary merits low.Few genuinely good books sold well early one.>some got banned outrightThink of it as a work of art.
>>527997021Literature is literally white man's culture

>>528003646That’s based and good for you anon. Small of a post as it is, it does encourage me, as I’ve also been thinking of getting back into the /fitlit/ lifestyle.Some many years ago I actually was very similar, and felt the best I ever did in my life - was both reading a hell of a lot, trying to become genuinely learned & scholarly (mainly classic literature, literary fiction, and philosophy), while at the same time working out regularly.Shit happened though, I developed mental health issues, and fell off from that peak. No more of the working out, and I read way less now than I used to read. Some of us edgier chuds on /pol/ inveigh against this, honestly I think they’re either the teenagers or those with teenage-like mindsets, against the idea of being well-read, out of some crude excessive conception of chauvinism, or manliness, being “based and redpilled.” Shit like:>Reading is effeminate and gay lol, just lift weights and make money.But I disagree with it and I think it’s like the Andrew-Tatification of being “based and redpilled” kek. I think there IS an overall benefit to being acquainted, say, with Milton and Shakespeare and Blake, or Plato and Nietzsche, whatever classic authors or philosophers, or great poets, from the centuries and millennia spanning back of the Western canon, and also potentially even some things from the non-Western canons (like some of the best achievements or most profound works of, say, Indian, Chinese, even Islamic Golden Age civilization(s)).It gives you a deeper view on things. It makes you overall more cultured, well-rounded, intelligent, even more respectable, instead of giving the enemy ammo for claims that “the ‘far-right’ are all just anti-intellectual chuds and retards.”Many people here say Western civilization should be honored and is so great, so if you say that I feel you should actually also delve into its riches, even try to further it in whatever way you can.
>>527994366>men create the literary scene in the late 1600s/1700s>women eat it up>women contribute great works>literacy goes up>women take over space>becomes subtle sex tension novels>becomes blatant smut 200 years later>literacy down>men getting into literaturewe might be on the upswing fellas push those foids out of writing

>>527994366The Novel was a 19th and early 20th century medium. That's when it peaked. Once film & TV became viable all real artistic talent flocked there, which is where it stayed until the end of the century. Now they're migrating to digital media, which is why film is dying.You can still find decent short fiction and decent short films if you look hard enough, but the mediums are effectively dead in long form. Good luck wading through shit while people are making much more interesting things in other mediums
