Are litfags a dying breed? I can’t think of anybody who reads for pleasure anymore.

It used to be better because I studied literature at college. Most of my friends graduated or changed their major or whatever anglofags call it, I am applying for a PhD. Most of them don't read for pleasure anymore, and if they do it's mostly some political shit. I mean, I also barely read 'for pleasure' only, but I am doing research in stuff that interests me so I don't exactly have to. In a few years I will probably have only some pretentious academic fags to talk to about literature, which is sad.

Why? I reckon its always been like this. Most people are just plebs. Be thankful you have a more lasting form of passion... maybe.

everyone reafs for pleasure: thats why people spend a lot of time in twitter, teddit, facebook, whatsapp, etc, and also why old media uses more dirty tactics to try to increase their audience and make look bad diy media like youtube and other new ways to communicate like p2p internet (ie matrixDOTorg)

No. I want to meet some here but I have no social media. And I only say from here because I haven't found anyone else remotely interested in the sort of literature discussed here.

It is lonely. I want to have someone who can grow with me as a writer. But any trace of this website is thought almost heinous by any outsider, even though the board is the only 'serious' place of literary discussion left.

There's this dude I work with that went to film school that's name dropped a few authors but seems way more into cinema and politics than literature.
I also sometimes tell my little brother about various mythological stuff I find that's cool and my father and I discuss religion a decent amount.
My mom is into audiobooks but she didn't like Blood Meridian when I rec'd it, though she was apparently fine with reading this lesbian vampire pussy licking novella she found in my library once.
