all the time, i barely pay attention to what im reading in the first place, i skip chapters, etc.

>>11317182
This. I read in no particular order. I mostly read to plagiarise in my diary.

>>11317198
What's the point?

>>11317173
that matchy-matchy is absolutely disgusting
would not touch with a ten foot pole

>>11317173
>is it better not to waste time trudging through shit you don't like out of principle?

This. If you're not a literary critic or columnist in some book review publication, then there's no point in wasting time reading something you are not enjoying. Yes, yes, it takes finishing the entire work to fully appreciate its value and structure, but sometimes you know a hundred pages in whether or not a novel is even worth fully appreciating.

my man, the inumerable bits of paper coating the floors of my apartment create a massively comfy environment, as i get drunk i roll around and pick up pieces seeing poems and little essays from the previous years of getting drunk and rolling around, sometimes i almost forget what period of time im in and what sort of preson i am supposed to be, it is all a mess of interrelated associations that exist in my drunken dreamlike state outside of the actual real narrative of my apalling existence

How does it feel to be low iq?

i was honestly expressing what 'my diary desu' consists of, an amalgamation of bits of other writers and personal experience that is not listed chronologically but in a giant web of relations, physically scattered all over my floors. i also go back to previous efforst and write other things in the margins so some pieces of paper have things which were written years apart

i dont see how you interpreted my post as being mad at all

>>11317230
What the fuck? Seriously- what's the point of plagiarizing just for yourself.

>>11317259
I just wanted to hear more from you but had to troll because i have lost sight of my humanity.

>>11317274
Hey sorry your self deception is stuck on amateur level

>>11317285
That pic is amazing, any idea who painted it?

>>11317173
I don't drop novels because I don't pick up bad ones. The last book I dropped was Dune Messiah, like three years ago. Now I avoid genre fiction, so I'm unlikely to come across any downright bad writing.

>>11317299
no idea, i just tell myself that i painted it

Either you have no individual taste or you're a sightseer.

>>11317461
I don't understand why I'd have to have "individual taste" and what "individual taste" is supposed to be in the first place. I'm also not sure if I understand what a sightseer is in the context of literature. Could you clear this up for me please?

>>11317173
It's been a long time since I've dropped a novel, but I have nothing against it. Why waste time on a shit book you're not interested when you could be reading something else?

>>11317299
The signature looks like it says Thomas Cain.

i want to tickle the tatar

>>11317503
ESL, I assumed sightseer was something like seer and didn't bother looking it up.

What I meant was that as an individual you'd inevitably come across something you don't like, except if you could tell the future and know ahead of time whether you'd like a book or not.

>as an individual you'd inevitably come across something you don't like
Well, I do, but such books are usually not irredeemable and I can find something interesting or valuable even in an overall flawed work.
I'm not a seer, but I know more or less what sort of stuff I enjoy and what I don't enjoy (genre fiction).

Where is your rampant anger and juvenility my friend

>>11317173
I'll finish them some day, I swear

Wholesome. You're genuinely enjoying writing for the sake of writing, and that makes me feel good.

>>11318278
That pic is at least 5 years old

>>11318652
Doesn't matter. All he has to go on is the pic. He's not enjoying a version of her 5 years later. He's enjoying 13 year old her. He is a pedo and you're trying to justify it. I'm literally reporting your post to the feds.

Good luck, bucko :^)
