Do you guys think that outer lit actually enjoys reading pretentious Russian babbling #5? You think deep down they actually like "muh classics", or are just stuck on the stage where reading is a status symbol?

The question is not if gender dysphoria or transgenderism is true or not, the question is if we should be encouraging transition or not.

What are the best YA Sci-Fi/Dystopia books

I wanna turn my brain off and just enjoy a silly story

I don't read any books by black or female authors. If you've read one you've read them all

If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead

I can't really visualize the exterior of buildings/interior layouts, so I get lost whenever a description appears, and even more if it's integral to the story. Am I a brainlet?

Probably accurate.

>TFW want to study philosophy, literature or psychology and get into academia but all of my friends and family will try to talk me out of it by telling me they're shit careers for pretentious assholes; not as prestigious or high paying as law, medicine or high finance; take way too long to obtain; or bully me for my choice just because.
>TFW just want to work a cushy job where I get to study profound ideas and concepts, and contribute to a field of study - not work a soul-crushing wage cuck job.

>only one satyr play survived in its entirety
>7 out of 120 Sophocles' plays have survived

>tfw seems like everyone is too damaged and healthy relationships are impossible

Anyone else worried that they might actually be cursed by genetically low IQ and are only "good" at reading because of how much you do it?
