More like lit is a cultural luxury. Literature as a hobby is incompatible with frenzied pace of modern life. Literature is painfully slow and demands too much. Most men choose more important things to pursue in life, like a career or education, and when it comes to relaxation, they choose quicker, simpler forms of entertainment, like videogames, or tv shows. Women are hedonistic by their very nature, they're not smart enough to aspire for greater things, so for them literature is not a compromise, but a way to actualize their decadent cry for attention.

Me. In real life though most of the people I know who are interested in literature—with the exception of my best friend—are women and effeminate men. The men I know who are interested in things such as shooting, weight lifting, and flying airplanes are not generally that interested in books. Oh well. Sometimes it's more fun to do activities than read about them.

Fiction sucks. Novels are trash. It's all written for two-digit IQ zimbos. What's described in all but a handful of the very best works cannot possibly be called sapience, it's hardly even sentience.

>all best sellers are about daily life issues of normal people (female topics)
This is the heart of it. 99% of the content of any randomly selected novel can only provoke the reaction of "who gives a flying fuck?" - who the fuck would want to read the minute painfully quotidian details of some dimwit nobody, as imagined by some other dimwit nobody?

People on this board are so VAIN that they posture over books they pretend to have read, ANONYMOUSLY. That's right, they are trying to signal social standing with posts that can never be connected to any other one they post, or them as a person—THE ONLY PERSON THEY COULD POSSIBLY BE POSTURING TO IS THEMSELVES! Every single thread on a book will include a green-text of the book name attached with a disgusted looking Harold Bloom (who they, of course, haven't read). THAT'S HOW PEOPLE ARGUE HERE. They just post a smug "ohh I can't believe you'd read something like THAT" or "*snicker* you actually think THAT?" with no context. I'm convinced that no one has actually read a book on this board, they've just memorized names and faces and vague ideas associated with them, and just bounce the same baseless conceptions back and forth between each other until it forms a board wide gestalt consciousness of pseud. Like, someone here could show you the most obscure portrait of Kant looking like a negro-goblin, a wacky anecdote about coffee or his masturbation habits, but ask them anything about his actual philosophy and you will get TOTAL SILENCE. Ask about an entry-level book, TOTAL SILENCE; ask about a basic grammar concept, TOTAL. SILENCE. Ask which author had the biggest forehead, 100+ REPLIES WITH THE MOST BITTER ARGUMENTS IMAGINABLE. How ANYBODY could think this place the last bastion of literary culture is unimaginable. This board is the theoretical zero-point of Intelligent discussion on the internet.

second to last point even applies to most male fiction as well, literature is profoundly effeminate and always will be. philosophy is just the anima that possesses the literary talent in drag, and the poet makes no pretensions to being anything other than the receptive slave of elemental and cosmic power. Destiny, and power elude all of them. What destiny does a writer have other than to elucidate and document on behalf of their muses, their dreams, friends, culture, gods and superiors?

Females are nothing but parasites, devoid of original thought and creative drive, they hoist themselves on the monuments built by men and claim "It's ours!". Just look at videogames - once the social stigma of "vidya is for fucking nerds" was gone, all of a sudden the same women who mocked the nerds turned into suchanerds. But there's no sincerity, because it's just an imitation. There are no female speedrunners, or female progamers, no modders or rommakers, women do not truly love videogames to buy the hobby selfselessy, wholesale. Same with literature, only it's even worse - after observing men, women had plagued the field of what they perceive to be a prestigious activity and made it into a show, because everything has to be a show with women. Ourward, extraverted. Women are responsible for "booktubers", women are the ones obsessed with majoring in liberal arts, so they can be 'professionally good readers'. Men? Men simply read books. They aren't posting shelfies with the latest 'book haul' or screeching about the misogyny in some classical novel online. They just read. Noble, inward-by-nature, men enjoy literature for what it is, quietly and without making it a banner for their identity. This disbalance of goals creates an illusion of a female-dominated field when a minority of loud shallow husks scream in a room devised for solitary meditation.
