Call me a pleb. I used to read a lot and had a good upward trajectory from my early teens reading cormier to king to vonnegut and all the other /lit/ approved charts to the greeks etc, started to go down the typical fuckboy postmodernist pynchon de Lillo etc. But then depression hit hard and i stopped reading.
