“The kerosene is brought down from the castles/ By insurance men who go/ Check to see that nobody is escaping/ To Desolation Row”

sup /lit/, i have a problem

i used to read books like 5-6 hours a day, all kinds too like sci-fi/fantasy/philosophy/even comic books......but now i can't bring myself to keep reading

i its not the type of books i am reading, more that it isnt engaging me enough so i uisually just get the tl;dr and engage myself intellectually on 4chan and with people IRL

anyone else have this happen?

Questions

Is plot more important, or style?

Is the journey more important, or the result?

Should books aspire to be read quickly, or slowly?

has /lit/ ever tried to collectively write a story? even a short story?
