Books are for bundles of sticks

448 Views | 22 Replies

There is this common thought that people who read books are smart or wise. I'd like to adress this phenomenon by sharing my expertise on the subject with you.

There's one thing I realised in my career. See, I never read books when I was a child, because I couldn't read. I learned to read when I was 23. And I don't mean I wasn't taught to pick a book and read - I just couldn't fucking spell and didn't know the letters. Eventually I learned the alphabet at 23 years of age. And at that age I was mature enough to see what difference to life reading introduces.


So I picked a book and I started reading it. I read fast and I usually read a lot in one go. So I have time to delve into a book. And at some point in my life I was heavily struggling with homosexuality. I took the medicine but it hardly ever helped. In that phase of my life I have noticed I was eager to abandon whatever I was doing so I could grab a book and stop thinking about my pathetic life. So that was the exact moment when I discovered that reading is not for smart or wise people - books are a tool of escape for people who are struggling with homosexuality.


So if you read books don't get on a fucking high horse and don't pretend like you're some sage or a hero, you just have small dick and can't cope with your student loan.

No, following the OP's logic, that would mean RoboSeven is not a faggot.

One time I read this book where a guy discovers an ancient civilization of natives in the midst of a huge party where they're all gangbanging the hell out of a woman until the heat & friction causes her melt. Then they use her ashes to flavor their coffee. The big Shyamalan tweest was that they were computer people dumping all their garbage data into a receptacle unit. Really makes you think?

Big big think?

Talking about reading... I have a test in less than two weeks and I should really be reading my notes. Instead, I'm here reading this thread.

I was trying all sorts of stuff from MDMA to LSD. Only shock therapy administered by dr. Pence cured me throughly.

Please Lord, let this be the exact opposite of helping.


Yes, you did actually. I was distracted and because you brought that comment up again, I remembered that I had to study. Thanks!

Lol, I read books because theyre the easiest way for me to retain information. The stories are kickass or the information valuable and I would take reading a book over a fucking YouTube video any day of the week.


Owning physical copies of things isnt what people do anymore, so I basically get boners from having something real in my hands as opposed to something digital.

I'm literally in the parking lot of a Barnes & Noble about to buy a book on carpentry for my own self-education right now.


probably gonna browse the manga section too, ohhhhhhhh~~~ yesssssss~~~


Quick reccomendations:

The Nix, Nightflyers, Brave New World, Dark Matter


My foreman gave me a book called "Dreamseller" about Brandon Novak (once professional prodigy pro-skater) and his heroin addiction. Super SUPER good read. I would have never known the vices of addiction before reading that.

Quick note to anyone wanting to read Brave New World: It is a dystopia, no matter what my sister says.

Printed text can't be altered like it's digital counterpart and so it's pretty redpill to store information in physical form, but we're not discussing that here.
