PoTD: How often do you read novels?

[JGE]

Never. Maybe like one book a year just because of school.

I prefer to use my time playing games, working on videos, and hanging out with you dudes.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

Not often at all. burned;

You guys need to have more appreciation for literature.

"great" literature is shit

all of it

[Snorkel]

"great" literature is shit

all of it

A lot of the stuff they make you read in school is, yeah. Like Of Mice And Men (most things by Steinbeck, actually), The Catcher In The Rye (although some would disagree)... I honestly don't know how these books (along with everything else I read freshman year) came to be known as amazing literature.

But go try reading other authors, that aren't necessarily hailed as being great classics.

name something

I'll torrent an e-book of anything good you suggest. If I like it, I'll buy it. If I can't find a torrent or some sort of download for it, I won't bother at all.

How so?
What about normal literature?
Who even said anything about "great" literature?

Like Of Mice And Men...

what's wrong with it

[Samus Aran]

How can someone not enjoy Of Mice and Men?

Also Lawlz, there's no point in listing off books to you, because you don't like reading anyway. You'll just turn down everything.

You're kinda like a rock when it comes to getting you to enjoy something that isn't a video game.  caterpie;

[Commander Fuckass]

Every now and then.

[Snorkel]

What the hell, you liked Of Mice And Men, too? 

Lawlz, go try something by Lovecraft or Neil Gaiman or Umberto Eco, and when you feel up to it read Against The Day by Pynchon... or anything else by Pynchon.
