/lit/ - Literature

Getting a kindle was a blessing and a curse. On one hand, I have so many books without paying a single cent. On the other hand, due to the way I consume these books at an accelerated rate, I tend to forget the books I read. Not to mention, it's kind of a pain in the ass to sift through my note/highlights because the nature of kindle is slow by design.

>Used to read books everyday because I was a poor-fag as a small boy
>Read 400 by the time I graduated elementary school
>Got high speed internet
>Haven't willingly cracked open a book since then
>At most will read a lengthy article

Why do you guys choose to read in this modern age of video? I've felt more from good documentaries/top tier films, but that's probably because I've never really given literature a chance.

What's so great about books?
