/lit/ - Literature

Any other newcomers here, fleeing the ongoing train wreck that is popular entertainment? I'm legit deleting my streaming services, and starting on the top 100 novels listed in the /lit/ sticky.

I was forced in my younger days to read more than a few of the /lit/ classics, due to my upbringing and education. But for years now I've had an untouched copy of "Crime and Punishment", that I only just opened yesterday...now I can't put it down. Its amazing to think how long an entire world of drama and intrigue sat there ignored, while I wasted hundreds of hours on Netflix or Amazon Prime being constantly disappointed.

Modern entertainment feels so shallow, contrived...juvenile? And it's not getting better, it's only getting worse and it feels like we're watching a societal collapse of sorts. Just throwing this out there to see if anyone else is in the same situation.
