No, reading is only done as a cope for when you are unhappy.
People who don't read instead live.
I actually think about this alot. I am 32 and I spent a lot of my 20s reading and I feel like there has been a lot of great stuff that has come of it. But I dread what I am missing out on. I never travelled or had any real adventures. I feel like I have become an ivory tower dwelling shut in. There are things to do and see out there. All I do is work and read and go to the pub with my friends. I feel like I need to go somewhere and do something.
Go ride a mountain bike on a trail Black person. I wish your problem was mine
What you got going on my homie? Why you so glum?
Sorry didnt mean to be a prick. But really man just get IQfy
Yeah you are probably right. I wanna go backpacking or something, long term.
>and go to the pub with my friends.
Oh wow sounds like torture. homosexual.
Yeah but they gotta hear me b***h and moan about being worn down to a nub of a man by work and family issues. Not all peachy.
Better yet what do we think of audiobookgays?
If you have the time sit down and read. If you're commuting or some shit where there's distractions everywhere then plugging your ears up with a book is probably among the better ways to make use of that time.
Audiobookgays? You mean audiobookgays who don't read books? Audiobookgays listen to books. Audiogays I guess alright... If your a gay... Nothing wrong with that.. we have a gay parades and all for that... MUST BE GOOD THAN.
Good way for dyslexic and busy people to participate in the enjoyment of literature.
I love to read but English is not my native language so I read quite slow and it's very exhausting, usually I'd be too tired halfway through the book.
So read in your mother tongue moron
No, reading literature does not automatically make you worthy of respect. You can read a lot, and still be stupid as frick. In the same vein, not reading literature does not imply that you are stupid as frick. I'd bet there a lot of people that don't read literature that are a lot smarter than some who do. It's a matter of individuals.
I only think less of TV/movie viewers and video gamers.
Yeah i think less of TVheads. But literature i see as a hobby similar to like being into drawing or sciences
Reading can also be as inane as TV/Movies in my opinion. If you're reading grade school level smut then you're no different than a TV junkie. I got my cousin to read less smut and I can already see the improvement in her reading abilities. She took up reading poetry on her own.
I'm not against fiction or anything. I just believe in challenging yourself.
Not really. I just think I could think higher of them if they did read literature.
I don’t think any differently of them. Reading is a hobby
I unironically think less of people who read literature
No. I'm a moron myself and have a hard time discussing philosophy and literature with people who have a degree. Let me talk about Jung's books and pop fantasy with people who's insight is just as shallow as mine. They even think I'm smart because I've listened to lectures. Living the life as a pseud explaining Nietzsche to girls.
I used to be like you but what helped me was to actually start writing out summaries of what ive read as essays or presentations in order to organize my thoughts. People in college do this constantly which is why they are better spoken than us degreelets
considering what passes for literature these days, no
contrarian
I only look down on pseuds who write off entire mediums as junk.
On average, yes. But the correlation between reading and being intelligent/interesting is extremely small.
yeah, I've found there's no real correlation between intelligence and reading. someone who reads might know more facts, sure, but that's not the same as intelligence.
>someone who reads might know more facts, sure
The only "facts" they know will all be based in fiction-fantasy drivel.
Then explain how America was formed by a group of intellectuals whose population had higher literacy rates than any other nation? The common man read voraciously and frequently went to lecture halls to listen for hours.
Reading text was literally the only media that existed, you fricking moron. You might as well be asking why didn't people watch TV back then.
This is the kind of high IQ cerebral thinking that reading fiction gets you
Yeah, no shit there was no TV back then. My point exactly. The average man was smarter in the 1800s than they are today.
>this is what the fiction reading historylet actually believes
Enjoy your life brainlet.
>Enjoy your life brainlet.
>reading fiction makes you big brain
this might be the dumbest board on 4chin
Quiet moron
When are you going to get your Bugatti if you waste your time reading books? Yes, only nerds who can't get laid read books. /s
I'll build my own Bugatti with knowledge I learn from books!
I envy the people that are able to just live, instead of needing distraction or to read.
No. Because most people who read books read fiction and fantasy.
Any guy who doesn't read books but instead just watches historical documentaries is infinitely more intelligent and a better person than the homosexuals who obsess over lotr or whatever the frick flavor of the week fantasy shit is popular at the time
reading is just consooming
not a real hobby like painting or making music
my point is only proven going into shelf threads and seeing all those pristine books that are never cracked open
literature is just a fashion accessory
>oh im a reader you see im not like you peasant NPCs
just look at poltards and fitgays for example who pretend they know anything about art and literature from being a wikipedia warrior
No. I respect their decisions.
No, people who read do it as a substitute for not getting the pussy they want, or getting any at all. And women never "read" to begin with, they just passed their time or used books as shibboleths.
yeah
Yes, normalgays that don’t read aren’t some super-intelligent Ubermensch above reading. They’re just moronic. Literally. They can’t sit down and read a book.
>They can’t sit down and read a book.
This argument only works if the books in question you want them to be reading are non fiction.
My coworker(34):
>"haven't read a book since high school"
>"contemptuous? I don't know what that means"
He's a nice guy tho
>He's a nice guy tho
sick of people saying that meaningless bs
i love people who don't read at all but i hate people who only frivolous books.
Yep.
I think less of people who read books that exist in audio format. reading is what you do when you have no superior option.
The audiobook if blood meredian is kino
I don't think of them at all
Only certain people.
I detest people who read garbage far more than people who don't read at all.
I look down on people who don't find SOMETHING to engage their mind. I dont give a frick if they draw pictures or solve puzzles on their phone all day or play with rubiks cubes
Not really, it is not like anons here are any better than the average moron outside.
