/lit/ - Literature

>>10748089
ive decided to check because this place reminds that even smart loners are insufferable animals, keeps my misanthropy in perspective

>>10748093
>smart
A vast majority of the posts on this board certainly don't reflect the idea of anyone here being "smart".

>write a chapter
>masturbate
>shitpost on /lit/
>repeat

Who else /comfy/ here?

>>10748095
This is some kind of narcissism I grantee it.
Sure most posts here couldn't be called particularly insightful or even correct, but the vast majority of /lit/ scumbags are smart, albeit worthless.

I think a lot of people here forget how dumb the average person is, probably due to spending all their time alone. Don't get me wrong, you guys are morons, but a typical person is pic related.

>>10748095
Actually if you don't count the people who discuss philosophy on /lit/, it's probably the board with the highest overall IQ on 4ch

>>10748089
>able to read a complete chapter instead of just a few pages before stopping
Some people have all the luck

>don't get me wrong, you guys are morons, but a typical person is pic related

>not having a set amount of pages you read instead of reading chapter by chapter

>>10748089
how do you know?

>>10748203
holy fuck that's a good wojak

>>10748095
/lit/ is smarter than average, but absolutely useless. IRL

>>10748156
Some of the philposters are the smartest on this board.
Most are stupid as fuck but if you took the 10 smartest phiposters of this board they'd be among the smartest posters on this site.

>not reading the entire book in one sitting

>>10748089
>check /lit/ for an hour
but this place has so little traffic how is there enough content to warrant an hours consideration?

>>10748089
Well, that's a better rhythm than 90% of lit.

That's what everyone here does. And it's usually much more than just an hour of reading, at least for me.

Especially if I'm reading some dense stuff.

I usually read last thing at night after turning off the computer and putting the phone on charge

It's like self control, except so easy even a retard can do it

>>10748789
Yeah, except you have to get to that point in the first place

Finding and trying the Thread Watcher was the worst thing that ever happened to me

Srsly how can u spend an hour here? This place is insufferable 90% of the times

>>10748104
My windows and curtains are not like this. Who created and who relate to this image literally live in a basement. Damn.

>>10749154
Agreed. Those posts are cancer, I always end up thinking about how much I could be learning if I spend >20-30 min. on here.

It's so unproductive it's sickening. Nothing actually gets discussed well. The books are discussions in an of themselves if you are reading the right non-ficiton

>>10748876
same

>>10748089
y-you read a full chapter?
